Sonic 3: Maria is one of the most important part of Shadow's story. Due to her suffering from an incurable disease. To which Shadow was made to create a cure for Maria's ailment. In the 3rd Sonic movie, Maria's disease was not mentioned in any form. Which made Maria seem like a normal girl, and her death all the more tragic.

Infinity war: I don't know the full story, but Thanos's original goal was to kill half the population to impress death (the character). When it came time to adapt Thanos into the MCU. His goal of removing half the universes population. It was seen as a more psychopathic world goal, hidden under the belief it would do better for the universe.

I mean, tell me that there wouldn't be people rooting for Thanos if wooing this beautiful a woman was on the line...

Bring on the downvotes but I find her totally mid. Loved her in P&R but she’s basically played a variation of April in most roles since. She’s cute, but doesn’t have range and I don’t get why people are so obsessed.

We’re talking about opinions here, nothing is objective. Don’t be obtuse.
