although, lately his resurrection leaves a lot to be desired nor does he appear to be written as in the past.

if thanos and DS were kids in high school.. thanos would be the smoker bad boy dude who has family connections to the mob and would beat and kill a teacher.

Darkseid would be the over weight ginger kid with freckles who plays football and picks on the small fries and is one bullying moment from getting his butt kick for messing with the wrong kid who has brass and isnt intimated by his over weightness

As a character... Darkseid by miles, his character is just written better. I don't know where Castle is getting this idea that Thanos is some sought of cool bad boy type. He's a Deviant (a pariah in his culture), essentially he was the guy everyone called weird in highschool, but who hit the gym after highschool.

He's not a smoking bad-boy type with tatts, he's the awkward boy that got muscles, almost literally.

Darkseid more accurately isn't the fat school yard bully, he's the manipulative smart ass with anti-social tendencies.

If he were to fit into the sterotypical highschool group he'd be the delinquent preppy, not the schoolyard bully.

I think you're both off. DS is a lot like the gangbanger trying control the guns/drugs in the school, Thanos is the Goth kid who's decided to "go Columbine" on the high school.

Gangbanger=better villain.

Allankles was arguing that Thanos was a social deviant I think, which he completely is.

By definition all villains are deviants.

They're both pretty lame, but DS's been a lot lamer for the last decade.

Also, both designs are retarded and not frightening at all. Thanos looked much bettter with that priest robe than with his ridiculous costume, they should have sticked with it.

I disagree. Who's a more compelling movie protagonist: an up and coming criminal mastermind or some whiny kid who snaps one day?

what if it is the movie of a kid who grows up to be a criminal/mastermind?

Origin story.

i personally liked DS motivation nor comic history, i guess it has more to do with how he is currently written.

the old school DS was cool, though.
