So now I'm confused. After IG, he began his move away from his villainous past. His mini essential had he try to prove himself as a force of good. Annihilation came around and he only backed Annihilus to learn of his plan and tried to stop it as soon as he found learned of it. He'd already rejected death in Keith's run before Annihilation. She accepted him and welcomed him to her realm because he'd fought for the universe, not against it.
Thanos was done as a villain. What other again is there for him as a villain? He's gonna kill the 616 again to please her? The work real good the last time remember? Conquer and enslave it because he knows what's best for the universe ala Doom? Thanos is a tyrant now? WTF? Or he could be searching for power, omnipotence, that would put him above even the abstracts yeah? I could see that happening. Maybe he can harness that power in his glove and call it the Eternity Glove.

It was just me being a fanboy saying Kang is the only enemy they could face. Tyrant -now that you mention it-, could be one, Maelstrom could be another.
The Fallen One is still around wrecking havoc? Is he dead?
I know what you are saying. I'm a Thanos fanboy, and TI gave me a bad taste in my mouth: On one hand, Thanos was physically portrayed how he should always be: a tough S.O.B., stomping the shit of everything that made contact with him. Thanos, IMO, was clearly head and shoulders above the "herald class", and his ass kicking of Lord Mar-Vell is a testimony of his presence in the "Skyfather class".
On the other hand, he was mentally portrayed like a sad emo, trying to whine his way to Death.
If Thanos have to be write in a near future, it has to be for either vengeance motives, if he come back evil, or for redemption, again, like in his mini, in which he was badass, in an anti-hero kind of way.
The thing with Thanos Imperative is that it disregards all of Starlin and Giffens past efforts. As you've said, he's become a whining baby that's lusting after Mistress Death while she turns her back on him for no explained reason. He showed up to Thanos Imperative to do next to nothing that would indicate he's ever evolved after the Infinity Gauntlet affair. Basically they want him to become a reason when there isn't a need and that's what I irritates me. As the avatar of death, he would still have been a hero/anti-hero serving the greater good of the universe by stopping the Cancerverse. Instead we get the "mad" Titan who's threatening to destroy existence because Death denied him. Jeezes, he should've in turn accepted it and rejected her like he did on Keith's run - he was above this.
So you missed the whole part about him saying he was gonna destroy their(616) universe and everyone in it, not a action of a villain eh, thats a great reason for turnig back as a full blown villian.
But surfer has been upgraded since then. I mean he still would prove no trouble just slightly more then before. Maelstrom would make a good enemy. He needs a comeback and a good fight. Team wrecker vs. uber team.

No, I think you missed the whole part of Thanos' mini where he went on a mission to right the wrongs of his past. The part where he says the Crunch, the Genesis Cascade, what better place to recreate one's self. He and death argued for a bit with her remarking that he, in past times, would make the universe void of life as a gift to her but for her what would death be without life? This revelation shocked him for it bit. This then leads into Annihilation where she teams him up with Annihilus where he learned of Annihilus' plan to destroy both universe. He intended to stop it and died because of that. She accepted him and welcomed him because he fought for life, for universal balance. He grew as a character in the end. But I guess you and DnA missed that part. Or maybe they really didn't care for that and decided to take the character 20 years back so he could be a whiny villain again.
She rejected him because he saved her and the universe? And with that, he's pissed off and wants to destroy the universe. Great reason that's something this is not. There's plenty of reasons that could've turned him into a villain again. This isn't one of them.
Thanos: OMG!, she rejected me?! But but but, I luv her. Dammit Quill, I'm gonna kill you and the universe for bringing me back. AAAAHHHHHHH, I'M A VILLAIN AGAIN!!!
And thank goodness Devastation had nothing to do with Thanos. They would've harmed the character even further if they continued writing. Some are meant to write Thanos; some are not. I want DnA to stay the hell away from one of my fav character. For some reason, people seem to think the more expose Thanos gets the better it is for him. Read Thanos Imperative and you'll learn your lesson people.

Thanos just wanted revenge in a cosmic level, he knows Death doesn't want the universe destroyed so he wanted to destroy it. He was a whinner about it though.
