So far Thanos is pretty much only tell, don't show when it comes to why he should be a threat. He's just been sitting on a chair for the last few years.

All his appearances thus far have the movie visual vocabulary of
The Thanos appearance in guardians wasn't that great and kind of took away from the movie but put me on the side that it was intended to make him look like a badass and didn't really fail at that.
There I was, 3DS: 2621-2671-9899 (Ekera), Wii U: LostCrescendo
they have some heavy duty lifting to make anyone really care about mcu thanos, really
or even make him credible
so far all he's done is show up in two teasers, give loki a loser army that the avengers defeated, and spend all of guardians of the galaxy being betrayed by people
like, he's a stone cold chump as far as i'm concerned and that feeling ain't exactly mine alone
The Avengers didn't really defeat the army. They were getting worn down and beaten when Black Widow shut down the portal. If the battle had continued the Avengers lose.

Yes
But it didn't
So they won
There was also the nuke that Tony tossed at their mothership.
I think that probably had something to do with things as well.

Possibly.
We don't really know.
Probably insult to injury.

That was more so they could tidy things up a bit more for the ending. The portal was already closing but there were still Chitauri troops on earth, so instead of having to root out all those troops, they Phantom Menaced it.

They didn't beat the army though. They beat Loki's terrible plan.
thanos army for sure winning but getting cut off because Loki's plan was full of holes hardly makes Thanos look weak.

It literally didn't. Before the Nuke they were already closing the portal. Tony nuked an army that already couldn't reach earth in any way.
You might as well say that Avengers was 2 hours of them fighting one guy.
Or Avengers 2 was 2+ hours of them fighting one guy.
Avengers was also about them assembling the team and bickering/fighting among each other.
Avengers 2 had Strucker, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver. In fact, Scarlet Witch probably did more to hurt the Avengers than Ultron.
Yeah, if you're not being silly and reductive about plots, then there is definitely more going on than just fighting the major antagonist.
You're the one who said that Infinity Wars doesn't need any more villains than Thanos.
And unless they're going have the "good guys fight each other before making up to fight the real villain" thing like they did with Avengers and Avengers 2, how are they going to have Thanos be the only villain?
They established that Thanos and Ronan had a conversation that was something to the effect of "Find me this artifact that I will not tell you what is exactly and I'll totally destroy the homeworld of an entire stellar empire." and Ronan went "I completely believe that is within your ability to accomplish, even without knowing the artifact you seek is one of the Infinity Stones, so I will put all my support behind you because I believe this is the most effective way to destroy my enemies."
He's also referred to as the most powerful being in the universe by Korath.
That's about it.

I wouldn't consider Thanos' army to be 'villains'. He could use fodder, to be sure, but he could certainly be the focal point of the movies as they assemble the teams to face off against the Mad Titan.

BIG MAJOR FUCKING THREAT ON THE HORIZON
plastered all over him.
Then people can know exactly what's coming for Earth
Just randomly showing up saying it's his turn. Completely disconnected from anything else in the movie.

Do people still think this? Like it's pretty clear he wanted the Mind Gem host to destroy the planet for some reason and it didn't work.
Oh yeah he gave the mind gem to Loki didn't he? Totally forgot about that.
