Trevor Noah has pointed out a major issue with Marvel’s The Avengers. From Iron Man to Hulk, the superheroes’ lives, struggles, and major battles against formidable enemies like Thanos have intrigued people across the globe. However, not everyone seems to be impressed with the strategies the Avengers use to solve problems.

And one such person is Noah. The comedian feels that the superheroes are not doing their job properly.

Trevor Noah is not happy with the Avengers

Trevor Noah, during a recent episode of his weekly podcast, What Now?, spoke about the Avengers. The comedian and writer pointed out that the Avengers only try to save the world when it is already in danger. He explained that the superheroes do not do anything to use their power to prevent the danger from happening in the first place.

“When you watch it now with fresh eyes and not surprise, the whole movie is a group of heroes who are not doing the thing that they need to do before it happens,” he said.

The comedian added that the movie is about people who want to act like superheroes and fight bad people but do not use the same power to make decisions to prevent the incident. He pointed out the issue with the Infinity Stones. Another debatable topic raised by Noah was that Thanos is a good guy. During the podcast, he claimed that people believe him to be the villain because his version of the story is not known to them.

Now, Noah is not the only one who has defended the Mad Titan.

Antony Starr has praise for Thanos

One of the notable names from the famous series The Boys, Antony Starr, once joked that he could relate to Thanos. The actor, in a conversation with Wired, revealed that Thanos is his favorite villain. Starr explained that while Thanos’ strategy was terrible, the villain’s philosophy was not entirely bad.

"He was doing a horrific thing, but he had such a good philosophy behind it about balancing the universe. And there's a little part of me that's like, 'He's got a pretty good point,’” he said.

Starr was quite clear that he did not agree with Thanos’ extreme measures to eliminate half of the population. The Mad Titan wanted to maintain balance by taking out half of the population to save useful resources for the rest of the population. While such opinions and strategies could be up for debate, the Avengers will have time to fix themselves in the next films. And whether the superheroes are able to fix things remains to be see
