Like Thanos, the Warriors also didn't ever seem to relish laying waste to the competition. What made the Warriors such a bummer was the same thing that made Thanos horrifying: that someone could destroy the entire universe and just be going through the motions. Of course, the Avengers ended up defeating Thanos, which was supposed to be great and inspiring because they triumphed in the fact of what certainly seemed like inevitability, so the meme never really worked to begin with.
