Thanos Meets Dr Strange - "They Called Me A Mad Man" - Avengers: Infinity War (2018) Movie Clip 

Free Amazon Prime for 30-Days (USA): amzn.to/3mtgZeb

When you see the Comic bookversion of Thanos he seems more aggressive and blood thirsty. This version is more believable in a way. He is calm, determined, and utterly devoted to his cause.

I love how polite thanos is. He knows he’s talking to someone wants to kill him and he’s still down to chat and explain himself

Josh Brolin as Thanos is the best casting for a supervillain since Heath Ledger as the Joker and Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin

“The hardest choices requires the strongest will” The most accurate statement I’ve ever heard from a villain

“With all six stones, I can simply snap my fingers…. and double the amount of resources” Thanos the hero

2:06 I like how Strange says this line. I feel like he's hurting his hands, he's squeezing them because he's angry at Thanos since he knows pride when he sees it. He knows Thanos is doing this because his pride says he's right, and Strange is seeing someone who reminds him of his past self, an arrogant prideful man who won't listen to reason.

1:54 The musical foreshadowing is amazing.

Still amazes me realizing that Dr.Strange sat waiting for him to show up while fiddling with a stone in his hand in the same way Thanos sat and waited for the avengers to show up while having a stone in his hand as well. Brilliant

“Congratulations, you’re a prophet” “I’m a survivor” Just hits so hard. Thanos doesn’t wanna be thanked or praised, he just wants peace.

I gotta give Strange credit. He used the Time Stone and knew everything that was gonna happen, yet had to perfectly remember every word he had to say, every expression, every movement, to make sure things went exactly as he foresaw.

Thanos had the best dialogue throughout the whole movie.

Hilarious when thanos says "our" because he really thought strange was the only one there. Such an underrated line.

I love that Thanos fought them in what I assume is his version of a t-shirt and sweat pants

Thanos is like the most ruthless yet emotional villain I've seen

“I’m a survivor” so much pain and emotion in the delivery.

Steven and Thanos having this intro conversation is such a memorable scene for me. Both of em are the most powerful characters at that moment arguably. Gives me goosebumps everytime.

Dr. Strange seems so unphased and not intimidated at all by Thanos. I guess after facing Dormammu he really grew some “mystical balls”

"This day extracts a heavy toll". His honesty is what makes him an awesome villain.

I am just so glad they took their time with thanos in this movie and the next one. Down to the cgi, the dialogue and his actions. Everything is so beautifully thought out

One of my favorite scenes in the MCU. It adds a level of nuance to Thanos as a character. There's a clear rhyme and reason for what he is doing. Who wouldn't be motivated after seeing the home you grew up in destroyed. I'm sure he saw some family and friends suffer and die. Yes, erasing half of life will end the lives of trillions, but his goal is to end suffering, to stop extinction. No pain, no starvation, you just fade away. Still cold, but you see his motivation.

Thanos- “They called me a prophet.” Strange- “Congratulations you’re a survivor.” Thanos- “I’m a madman.”

I think a lot of people missed underlying theme of "will" and how it shifted between Infinity War and Endgame: If Loki had allowed Thor to die, Thanos wouldn't have gotten the space stone. Quill was actually willing to sacrifice Gamora, which is precisely why Thanos said that he liked Quill. If Gamora had allowed Nebula to die, Thanos wouldn't have gotten the location of the soul stone. If Strange had allowed the Avengers to destroy the time stone, Thanos would've never obtained it. If Wanda had allowed the Threshers to kill Natasha, Okoye, and Wakandan soldiers, then Shuri would've been protected against Corvus Glaive and been able to remove the mind stone from Vision (enabling it to be destroyed before Thanos could arrive and reverse its destruction via the time stone; he can't reverse its destruction if he didn't know where it was destroyed). Infinity War-Thanos' will was stronger than the Avengers because he was willing to sacrifice anything and everything in order to win, and his sacrifices strengthened his resolve, but the Avengers weren't willing to make such sacrifices (see above for multiple examples). Endgame-Thanos hadn't sacrificed anything at all (which meant less resolve), he had assumed his victory was inevitable because IW-Thanos had succeeded, but as a result his will wasn't as strong as the Avengers, whom after losing so terribly in IW were now willing to win at whatever the cost.

I fucking love how they nailed Thanos Back in the Phase 1 & 2 days there was a lot of flack for MCU villains being bland and 1 dimensional so there was worry for how they were gonna do Thanos But they fucking nailed him and made him into one of the best film villains of the 21st century. Can't wait to see how they do Kang and Doom

"With all six stones I can simply snap my fingers. I called that mercy." "What fingers?"

"Piece of cake, Quill" -Roll credits

Love how Thanos is trying to reason and deliver a power point presentation using the reality stone to his enemies to make them understand and convince that whatever he is doing is right and logical. Not just an another bloodthirsty killing-machine villain.

“The hardest choices require the strongest wills.” What a meaningful quote by a villain like Thanos.

1:53 When Thanos says, "I finally rest. And watch the Sun rise on a grateful universe," the strings of the theme that plays at the end of the movie when he does just that come in for a few seconds. Alan Silvestri is an absolute genius

This is exactly why Infinity War Thanos won while Endgame Thanos lost. He was calm, calculated and methodical here, Endgame Thanos was bloodthirsty and vengeful.

Thanos was done with such great CGI. I mean look at the veins pulsate as he talks near his forehead and temple that's great detail.

1:43 I just realized the thumbnail and this moment shows Thanos doing the finger heart

Thanos in Infinity war was looking for the path of least resistance in getting the infinity stones, it's possible why he was less intense and war like. In Endgame he realized wiping half of humanity was not enough and destroying it all and starting over was better it's why he was much more of a problem to deal with. He had come for a fight.

Doctor Strange: Thanos I’ve come to bargain. Thanos: what? Doctor Strange: nothing, force of habit.

Thanos is the exact kind of antagonist I love. Not only are his goals understandable, but the emotional struggles he goes through on that path are almost greater than the heroes.

Interesting detail - the floating star-shaped structures on Titan where conceptualized, by art director, as luxury mansions for the wealthy. That were wasting vast resources to be kept floating for no reason other than a display of excess. The "sin" of Titan wasn't overpopulation, but greed and resource inequality. In his phrasing, Thanos subtly indicated his decimation idea was meant to teach the wealthy a lesson by sacrificing a portion of them as randomly and coldly as they sacrificed the poor in their society. Of course, those who have observed that Thanos' plan was nonsensical because it wouldn't really solve problems have to remember: he wasn't meant to be correct. One might even imagine that his original suggestion on Titan was meant to throw a scare into the wealthy elite, as a threat for them to change their ways. It was them refusing and continuing until Titan destroyed itself in a resource war that drove Thanos mad. His determination to literally kill half the universe wasn't really a rational plan (even a wrong one) but one driven by anger and resentment.

This is a great example of why Thanos is such a great antagonist - he is the good guy from his perspetive - a misunderstood hero. Grat writing for all of the characters and acting for the performers. This is how great villians are done - not the common cardboard madman so many films are filled with.

I like how Thanos while explaining his past only ever used the gauntlet once. He could have attacked strange and caught him off guard or teleported away but he truly wanted him to understand by showing him with the reality stone. He specifically used his other hand to snap while explaining his plan as well. Kind of interesting how Ultron used a similar hand gesture while explaining his plan to catch Tony off guard, goes to show Thanos was a different kind of threat, not entirely evil, which I think made him much more dangerous.

“The hardest choice requires the strongest will” Ngl this quote by thanos is extremely true and actually a good life lesson

1:54 Music when he said what would happen next is the same when it happened. Nice touch.

This scene is just two people talking (until Tony comes in) and it's more thrilling than majority of MCU these days. I'd even say than all of MCU post Endgame.

The CGI on Thanos will never cease to amaze me. They did one hell of a job on that.

“I finally rest, and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe.” “I will shred this universe down to its last atom, and then, with the stones you’ve collected for me, create a new one; teeming with life that knows not what it has lost but only what it has been given. A grateful universe.” Enlightened Thanos vs. warlord Thanos

When Dr strange stood up, you know what’s about to happen next

Infinity War > Endgame

This scene probably has the three most intelligent people in the movie. Absolute legendary scene

@0:25 Dr.Strange is actually imitating thanos in the future when he meets ironman, cap and thor, when he's sat down playing with 6 stones 😉

0:47 I like to imagine that Quill’s haif smile here is him going in his head “I should be taking this serious, but god damn that is a cool title!”

*Thanos may not be as powerful as Darkseid. But hell, he will always be one of the best, terrifying and iconic villains in the history of cinema!*

"I think you'll find our will, equal to yours." Goosebumps, every time.

I just noticed this, but at 0:11 Thanos looks towards the ship Ebony Maw was supposed to arrive in and finds it crashed and clearly destroyed. He sighs because he knows that’s not a good sign and another altercation is going to take place. He is also disappointed because Maw was one of his “children” and I suppose he didn’t want him to die. Especially since the last time he saw him was when he acquired the space stone a few hours earlier.

MCU Thanos is just amazing. Maybe the best dialogue I've heard in a villain!

"The hardest choices require the strongest wills" so true! 💯

You got to give credit to Josh Brolin. The delivery of every line was masterfully done. I thought James Spader did amazing as Ultron until i saw Thanos! One of the best performance, up there with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal and Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister.

You ever think Dr. Strange said "our" on purpose to clue Thanos off because he already knew they had to lose?

It's hard to even imagine Marvel writing a scene this good anymore, let alone getting good actors, excellent direction, appropriately-used special effects, and making the scene fit into the plot seamlessly. Amazing how much things can fall apart in just five years.

Thanos just talks so smoothly, he almost makes me wants to agree with him on his solution

"The hardest choices require the strongest wills." As intense as that quote is, it's true. It is as true for Thanos (snap) as it was for Tony Stark (snap then death).

Thanos really is a great villain. He already lacked empathy by thinking that mass genocide was a solution worth considering on Titan, even if it would’ve temporarily saved his race. He’s a logical thinker, and believes that any sacrifice is necessary for the greater good, not unlike a traditional hero. The main issue is, he’s ~1,500 years old, and he’s spent the majority of that time chasing the stones and “saving” planets one by one manually. He views himself as a messiah on a holy quest, and his fanatical followers believe it to. He says it himself, that he has the “will” to act on his goals. With his age, no one can challenge or come close to changing his perspective because he’ll consider them “too young” to understand his views. He doesn’t want to kill the Avengers, he simply looks at them as misguided children getting in the way of his quest. He respects them and their opposing views to his, but he has to fight them so he can achieve his goal. He’s truly the best kind of villain. Honorable intentions, but he goes about them in a terrible way because he lacks empathy and thinks that the deaths of trillions are a necessary sacrifice for peace and prosperity.

Oh my God...when Thanos comes...you can see it says Allah isn't dominant.

“The eyes Chico, they never lie” best thing about Thanos were his eyes. Full of vigor, determination, and unbridled ambition. Infinity War truly is a level of quality above all marvel movies that I think we won’t see for a long time.

Strange: "Then what?" Thanos: "I finally rest" At this part the actual "porch" track starts playing, which is used in full at the end when he does exactly what he said he'd do. Great bit of musical foreshadowing.

The great thing about Thanos's animation, is that he appears to have a soul. If you look into his eyes, it's like seeing a smart person. Someone who is looking inside at his own thoughts, and outside at the world, as he speaks. It's really a remarkable creation, and why I think the Thanos is more appealing than Darkseid. Marvel knew he had to seem real.

Thanos poses were so cool ..more than a hero ..direction is so perfect

I miss this kind of Strange

the rest of the group sitting on Titan: "When is Thanos gonna show? And where?" Strange: *uses time stone to predict where Thanos is gonna show and organizes the group* "I'm gonna sit here, Stark, fly up there..."

This is the greatest conversation between any two characters in the MCU. Also, I like how Strange was sitting down waiting for Thanos, just like Thanos was in Endgame.

0:06 they are insulting islam and ﷻ الله !

"Oh yeah, you're much more of a Thanos." That line makes me think one of the planet's few surviving inhabitants was wondering by and got his shit totally wrecked by the heroes until they were like... "erm... I don't think this is the right guy."

What makes thanos more interesting than most mcu villains is his humility and perspective of necessity. He doesn’t try to force his outlook on others or tell them they’re weak for not agreeing with him. He does what he feels he has to do and doesn’t do much to the heroes beyond that. The necessity extends beyond his goal but also how he is in every battle. Before the snap he only takes what he needs and only fights back when he has to. He could’ve killed quill or the avengers in wakanda but didn’t because there wasn’t a need to. He only killed loki and almost killed tony because of how they antagonized him. He doesn’t want to kill anyone along his journey unless absolutely necessary and even shows respect to those like stark who he sees as a brilliant but cursed man worth remembering. He’s not after power for power but power for purpose. What he sees as a grand purpose is a necessity that is needed for the survival of all life in the universe. It’s freaking brilliant.

"I'm a survivor". THAT is a great comeback. It lets you know SOOO much about his character. It lets you SYMPATHISE with him. He was never in it for the money or fame or any of that. He cannot be bought, bullied, or reasoned with. He just wants to see balance in the universe.

Dr strange here:😎😎 Dr strange in mom:🏃🏃🏃

U know the movie is so good when u listen to each and every line said in the movie with utmost attention and intensity

they called me a madman when i just wanted to do farming and cook soup -thanos

2:01. He literally had a tear in his eye.

I don’t think we will ever reach those heights of storytelling again. The series was pure perfection.

Can we just appreciate how much Thanos and Loki have manners

Thanos taking the time to soak in Maw's death after walking through the portal was such an interesting little detail. Watch in the beginning as Thanos walks out of the portal, looks directly into Doctor Strange's direction, and then turns around to the ruins on Titan to soak in the defeat and failure of his people. THEN he confronts Doctor Strange. I love how surprisingly subdued our physically imposing mad titan actually is during this point in his journey versus a slightly more blood thirsty pre-Gauntlet carrying Thanos in Endgame. Really shows how multilayered this character is.

I still believe infinity war is the best marvel movie to date. It’s just so deep you forget it’s fiction👍🏾

Honestly I don't look at thanos like a madman. He really did want to bring balance in to the universe

“I take it the maul is dead?…. This day extracts a heavy toll.” I like the bit of respect he has for his goons even if he’s mostly just talking about gamora with that line.

I love this interpretation of Thanos. He sees himself more as a tragic necessity, and not the savior of the universe. To me, one of the best illustrations of that is this: he never raises his voice. He's always calm and collected when in conversation with someone, because he knows they will pay attention to him.

Doctor Strange has so much swagger. To be face-to-face with Thanos and to say something like "You may regret that" is such a baller move. What an understated, classy badass.

The more and more I watch this movie I just find it amazing that Thanos was not worried about the Avengers they were just in the way so he had to swat them like flies to get what he wanted. Kinda effortlessly

Is no one gonna say how thanos did the heart shape with his fingers in the thumbnail

I really like the delivery of the line "Then you'll find our will equal to yours"

this was such a good bit of acting. Thanos has seen so much suffering that he genuinely believes ending people before they can suffer truly is mercy. he just seems so....sad. thats what makes him such a good villian... he believes he is actually doing the right thing

Sermandoe when the GTA 6 leak finally happens

Whoever wrote this dialogue needs a raise.

Rewatching this, they have to realize that Thanos wasn’t lying, though flawed in his logic. Titan is literally a perfect example. No one listened. Edit: there’s an opinion war raging in the comments now.

I can imagine the conversation between Thanos and his planet leaders/politics and how it went Thanos: The key to our survival is ... genocide. Most Leaders: This might be what we need to stop the increase of the poor segment of the population. Thanos: The idea is to include rich and poor alike. Most leaders: You are crazy. NOW GET OUT. Thanos: Not Crazy. MAD.

I love how abruptly the clip ended after thanos got squished by a big rock.

“Your much more of a Thanos” makes SO MUCH SENSE NOW 😮!!

"They called me a madman. And what I predicted came to pass." That doesn't mean they were wrong.

I like how they made thanos very serious because he listened carefully to the doctors words "our?" And for loki undying"

"I finally rest and watch the sunrise on a grateful universe"

darkseid maybe stronger than thanos, but thanos is more way more perfect character than darkseid.

*"The hardest choices require the strongest will"* 2:00 Thanos literally sheds a tear whilst saying this...! The CGI details are insane 🤯

Imagine if the Avengers series ended after this scene? "Piece of cake Quill."

One reason why this conversation is so badass is that Doctor Strange knows they've basically won. The whole thing was over before it started once he found a scenario to play out. A very subtle but epic display of power.
