No it does not mean “nothing”, it’s short for Thanatos which is a name for the fraudian concept of “death drive”, the drive compelling organisms to kill and destroy
Yes I know what you really meant but I got curious about where the name came from
Thanatos is the name of the Greek god/personification of the moment of death. Freud (lol fraud) would’ve been using that name as everyone reading his work would have been familiar with The Illiad and other works featuring Thanatos.
Does the name Thanos mean nothing?
We’re being technical here…
Thanos did kill a lot of people, but the snap didn’t kill a single life.
So he might be on top, but I’d assume most of the time he ordered people to press buttons to destroy planets.
So if we’re using that, it’s whoever was ordering the Sith around when the death Star did it.
Palpatine?
Honestly no idea how they’d stack up.

Lol both my google-fu and phone autocorrect failed me
It’s where Thanos got his name too.
In the OG comics his only motivation was to impress Death because he was in love with her. So he killed as many people for no other reason.
I think Death just loved Deathpool instead tho, because he was what she could never have?
Anyways, all the OG nerds learned about Thanatos from Venture Bros:
