Thanos vs Darkseid, who's the better galactic overlord
- Thread starter DragonSJG

Thanos don't want to rule shit, he just wants to kill everything, which makes sense because he is literally the avatar of Death.
But I prefer Thanos, and not even for him as much as I prefer the characters and stories surrounding him, just re-read Starlins 70's Warlock run with Thanos, Adam, Gamora, and Pip the Troll vs the Magus and the church of universal truth and that alone makes him better to me.

But his prevalence in pop media doesn't really mesh with that. Soulja boy had a do that superman verse and no one was lost.

easily darkseid. marvel did an amazing job with mr. bubbles and I don't see DC getting Darkseid right in film in my lifetime but he's still the man.
(batman should not have dodged his beams however, i'm still salty about that...)

Thanos literally has an arc named "Thanos Wins". And he does win. Constantly. He has repeatedly outwitted and outmuscled the MU, and only loses because he gets bored and self-destructs.
In the current Jim Starlin OGNs, he has killed and absorbed every fundamental force in the universe, traveled back in time, had his past self do the same thing, and then his future self and his past self merged, doubling their already incalculable power.
This is the answer. Thanos has greater accomplishments and MUCH higher highs than Darkseid does.
Superman's logo is one of the most recognized symbols in media. You're completely wrong.
I'm also very obviously messing about, lol. Who would even claim that?
My apologies then. I've seen some wild claims by comic fans online that have shocked me by how wrong they are. I don't even know why i'm defending Superman, I don't even like him outside of Darkseid lol.
Of all the dumb statements I've seen on this website, this is one of the dumbest.
Superman 1978 grossed $300M worldwide. In 2019 Money that's roughly equivalent to $1.1 Billion Dollars. Without 3D, Imax, or a Chinese Box office to inflate totals.
Not enough?
It went in production before Star Wars (1977) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and with those two is credited with inventing the modern sci fi blockbuster.
THAT film also spun off FIVE DIRECT SEQUELS
Superman II
Supergirl
Superman III
Superman IV
Superman Returns (which was inexplicably a sequel to Superman II that ignored III and IV).
You'd have to be ten years old To say something like "no one knew who superman was before Man of Steel."

Thanos is at his worst when people try to make him an overlord so by that metric Darkseid completely takes it.
Lol.... some of you take statements on this forum far too seriously.Of all the dumb statements I've seen on this website, this is one of the dumbest.

It's okay, it's on me knowing full well the kind of claims that get made here sometimes :p
Amazing that there's people out there that believe this to be true
I mean, I know Thanos better now thanks to the MCU. But before that, I just remembered Darkseid for his crazy eye beams. THEY CAN ZIG ZAG AND GO IN ANY DIRECTION. He seemed to use them to great effect in any of the animated stuff I watched that featured him. Thanos is crazy strong, but those eye beams are just so damn cool.
Darkseid.
The more I learned about who Darkseid is I realize I'm learning more about what Darkseid is.
Darkseid is the essence of all that is wrong in the DC multiverse. Darkseid actually won the eternal struggle and didn't get bored with it like Thanos did and stopped being a multiversal god.

I'm tired of my anime and manga having all of this fanservice all of the time!
Comic Darkseid>Comic Thanos, though I prefer Thanos
Movie Thanos shits on both. Darkseid has already lost that battle, New Gods would have to focus on Darkseid entirely to give him a chance in that realm

God the DCAU was magnificent.
Darkseid gets Supes back for that.
Does Apocalypse measure in here somewhere?
I honestly used to get all three of those guys confused because they had somewhat similar designs while also typically being "the big bad"
And before then I didn't know who Thanos was and would confuse Darkseid with Apocalypse.

Thanos: gets punked by an addled fuckup billionaire manchild in armor who steals his chaos emeralds without him noticing. said manchild can't think of a good witty one liner so he just stammers "duhhh i'm iron man" like a pokemon. pathetic way to die, and he already died once before in the same movie because a bellowing bearded baby man threw a tantrum
Darkseid: gets shot by Batman with a god killing bullet, while Batman has to explicitly say "yes I'm Batman and I don't use guns as a central point of my character but you're just that evil and powerful that I have to" and then Batman goes "gotcha" as he's about to be killed/sent back through time by reality warping eyebeams. incredibly badass way to die, shot by batman

as a gamer, I know Thanos mainly from Marvel fighting game. I didn't know anything about Darkseid
Thanos, much more interesting and he actually gets shit done. Darkseid's dad is 1000x what he wants to be
Poccy is a joke
Im note a fan of DC but it's definitely Darkseid.
Thanos couldnt care less about being a warlord, he just wants love!

I still think it's tragic he gets top billed over Sinister, even Claremont's original Sinister is a spoiled brat version is better than apocalypse.
Poccy's origin has him as a bronze age thug that literally fell into space god trash. He always acted like he was smarter than he really was. ANd seems like most writers write him like that, intentional or unintentional.
