DC Just Proved Its Version of Thanos Is Much Harder to Kill Than the MCU’s Version

In the latest installment of the Justice League series, ‘Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three,’ DC’s villain Darkseid is portrayed as virtually unkillable, making him a more formidable opponent than Marvel’s Thanos. Darkseid’s role in the DC multiverse is so critical that his death could potentially unravel the very fabric of reality across various universes. This makes him not just a threat but a necessary evil to maintain the balance of the multiverse.

In contrast, Thanos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while a significant threat in ‘The Infinity Saga,’ shows vulnerability. He faces tough opposition from heroes like Thor and Captain Marvel, who come close to defeating him in ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ Despite his strategic mind and physical prowess, Thanos proves he can be defeated, especially when the heroes successfully use the Infinity Stones against him.

The notion that all DC universes must contain a version of Darkseid underscores his importance in DC’s storyline. He plays a vital role, not just as a villain but as a cornerstone of the DC multiverse. This is evident from his appearances in various media, including a significant role in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

The film ‘Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three’ not only highlights Darkseid’s invincibility but also sets him up as a constant presence in the DC Universe. It suggests that we might see more of him in future DC Universe projects, even though he might not appear immediately, given the current DC release schedule.

The film also intensifies the stakes by showcasing the Anti-Monitor’s destructive campaign across the surviving Earths. As time disintegrates and heroes from different eras rally with the Justice League, their ultimate sacrifice is posed as the only hope for survival. This climactic battle emphasizes the dire consequences of the multiverse’s potential collapse, should Darkseid ever be truly defeated.
