I think he does. For the most part, Thanos would like the universe to be in one piece - only because he lives in it. In the Infinity War and Crusade, Thanos helps the heroes. In Blood and Thunder, he assisted the Watch again. He ain't evil no more but still a badass.
Hot damn..you're right!
Adam Warlock also devised a strategy with the Cosmic Gods. Adam Warlock kept the strategy to himself because he knew Thanos wouldn't try to read his mind because of how difficult it would be. Then at the moment of truth Adam Warlock told the Silver Surfer the plan, but it failed. The plan was to win by deception, but it failed. Then later Thanos lost the Infinity Gauntlet to his Grand Daughter Nebula. Nebula couldn't see Warlock because he is outside the realms of Chaos and Order and Nebula was mentally deficient at the time. Adam Warlock then touched the Gauntlet and entered the Soul World bringing the Silver Surfer with him. Adam Warlock used the Silver Surfer as an anchor so that he wouldn't get lost when reaching out to the other gems. Then Adam Warlock gained possession of the Infinity Gauntlet to become a GOD.Later, Adam Warlock was put to trial by Eternity. It was proven that Warlock was mentally unable to have the gauntlet without there being a chance of him destroying the universe. So Adam Warlock gave the gems to 5 courageous souls : Pip - Space Gem, Drax the Destroyer - Power Gem, MoonDragon - Mind Gem, Gamora - Time Gem, Thanos - Reality Gem. The next time Warlock required to reform the Infinity Gauntlet was when the Magus was back (When Adam Warlock was god he shed all good and evil from his being).
The Gems didn't work but Thanos and Warlock had anticipated this and created a mock Reality Gem. When the Magus abducted Adam Warlock he gained the gems. When Galactus got the Living Tribunal and Eternity to make the gems work as one. Then the Magus was nearly omnipotent. Warlock managed to grab onto the Infinity Gems when and was a god along with the Magus. Warlock eventually won out with the help of Eternity and Infinity the Magus was vanquished to the Soul World, and Adam Warlock was in a coma like state. When Warlock awoke he had to do battle with the goddess (his good half). She sought to kill all life win the Cosmic Egg and recreate the universe for the "better". She possessed many of Earth's defenders but was thwarted by Thanos and Adam Warlock in the end. After that the Infinity Watch broke up.
from a bio I googled.

The Infinity Watch have infinite control over everything: Mind, Power, Soul, Reality, Space, and Time.
The Justice Legion is soooo out of their league.
If Thanos was on their roster, they could create the IG and blink the JLA out of existance.
Theoretically the Gems give the wielder infinite control over each aspect but the only ones who use the gems to their full extent is Warlock and Moondragon. Drax, as powerful as he is, only subconsciously uses the power gem. Pip only uses the space gem to teleport. And Gamora doesn't even know how to use the time gem. The reality gem is (or was) with Thanos but that gem doesn't work on its own, as a ruling from the Living Tribunal.
However, against the Justice League, Warlock and Moondragon using their gems are all you need. Warlock could just steal their souls or trap them all in soul world. Or Moondragon can just mindwipe them all - no telepath can withstand someone expertly using the mind gem.
Now if the Infinity Watch didn't have their gems, the outcome would be the complete opposite.
Gamora knows exactly how to use the time gem. It took her some time, but she eventually learned to control it. She has stopped time, traveled through time, etc.
Pip has done more than just teleport. He has used the gem to defend himself with space distortion, and manipulate gravity. He is an idiot, but he's not useless. No one with an infinity gem is utterly useless.
