## Thanos is a narcissist of the highest order.

He speaks in such a commanding way because he believes unwaveringly that his every idea is superior to that of any other being. He twists every action, every event, every failure or victory or random coincidence into evidence that he is right. **Because that's what narcissists do!**

It sounds to me that you want to convey yourself with the incredible confidence of someone who **_can't_** conceive of the idea that they may be wrong. So now you have an idea of where to start. Write your paper as if you were the sole authority on _all things_. I would urge caution if you go that route. It may give you a powerful voice, but academics don't always appreciate people who never admit that they may have made a mistake (Thanos would never admit _that_!)
