He's not a bleeding heart for Midgard, particularly not versions of it outside his own universe, but what happens to humanity is a pretty good barometer, in his experience, for what happens to the rest of the universe.
And there is Thanos. He never forgets that possibility, which is more of an inevitability as far as he can tell.

He's pleased they get the reference right away, and he smiles at Blaze again. "There's always something, though, isn't there? Paper covers rock, scissors cut paper, rock breaks scissors, and so on into infinity. Everyone has a weakness, and a strength, and sometimes a battle comes down to whether the hero can dodge the dragon's venom for long enough to get a blow in, rather than how well he is trained in the art of swordplay."
