“I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But you’ve shown me, that’s impossible.”
“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
If you know whether those are Thanos quotes or Henry David Thoreau quotes, you’ll perform just fine through this quiz. If you’re already scratching your head, you might be in deeper trouble than Tony Stark facing Thanos without a suit or Henry David Thoreau facing the wilderness without a survival kit. If the latter scenario engulfs reality, consider starting your strenuous studies by watching “Avengers: Endgame” and “Avengers: Infinity War” and reading Thoreau’s “Walden.” When you can differentiate between a purple antagonist and a poetic abolitionist, you may proceed with confidence.
Thanos is a malicious Marvel mega villain created by Jim Starlin. He's physically characterized by tremendous powers, such as superb strength, endurance, teleportation, and speed. These powers were all strengthened by the Infinity Stones. Unlike most villains, Thanos distinguishes himself through rarified brains rather than brawn. He's a prodigious tactician and possesses a much wider vocabulary than typical monstrous meatheads.
Thanos is the quintessential nihilist in fiction. He practices what he preaches through barbaric battles, never settling for victory until half of all existence dies. Sometimes this eye and Earth-popping idea manifests through Thanos' hopeless attempts at courting Mistress Death. Other times (such as in the Marvel Cinematic Universe), Thanos operates under his own destructive desires.
Thoreau shares Thanos' articulation affinity, but he's far more inclined to stroll through woods than wastelands of wreckage. Balancing the universe ranks below enlightening it on Thoreau's considerably more poetic priorities list. As such, Thoreau gained a sizeable fanbase for his thoughtful versatility and ability to capture the societal pulse of a changing world. In his work, he admires all the animals he shares the planet with, whether fellow humans or seemingly insignificant insects. His lauded literature inspired some of the highest achievers of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Leo Tolstoy, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr.
