DCEU is really fukking up. Darkseid and Orion came before Vader and Luke. Thanos is just a character Jack kirby created because he couldn't legally bring his New Gods/ Fourth World saga with him to marvel. It's just sad.

Darkseid is an amazing comic book character but maybe outside Superman TAS. They never really fleshed out how powerful he really is.
I don't really think it's about how powerful he is, it's that he lacks any depth (at least in any comics or shows I've seen).
Vader has the whole fallen Jedi thing going on, not to mention his relationships with Luke and Obi-Wan. Thanos thinks he's saving the universe (MCU) or is in love with the personification of death (comics) and at least cares about certain characters like Gamora.
Darkseid? Has no real depth to his character. He's just evil because he's a god of evil and that's what he does. I'm not saying that makes him a bad villain but it does make him shallow compared to most others.
Those DC movies after Flashpoint show how powerful he is.Darkseid is an amazing comic book character but maybe outside Superman TAS. They never really fleshed out how powerful he really is.
