Squidward

Don't know the character's name but I enjoyed his presence when he was in the film and thought it was a cop out for him to die the way he did. He seemed a very powerful character compared to others, and for someone who was simply a "child" of Thanos.

Seeing as how he could manipulate objects at will, and neutralise Doctor Strange fairly easily, I wouldn't have a hard time believing he could take out Thanos (without all the stones) himself, such is his power, and an even less hard time believing he couldn't have prevented himself dying by being sucked out into space.

Yes, specially considering he could fly

Most characters who can levitate objects can't levitate themselves, but he could, he could fly on Earth, so flying in space should be even easier for him

Being able to levitate objects doesn't stop you from getting killed in the vacuum of space.

Ebony Maw or Squidward? The former has a nice ring to it but Squidward fits him better. :D But true, he was as formidable as a villain can be. While his screen time was cut short, he made every moment count and left his mark. His voice, design, powers, dialogue, etc. all of it couldn’t have been executed better. Hands down one of the best villains to ever grace the entire MCU, as far as I’m concerned.

Now initially, I was let down by how he was eliminated so unexpectedly. His presence was so dominating... and yet before you knew it he was no more! I would’ve no doubt loved to see more of him. With that being said, as far as it see it there was no better way to take him out — especially at that moment. They ended up getting the best of him (believably so) and there was nothing he could do to save himself. Molecular Telekinesis can only do so much when you’re floating helplessly in space.

Besides, in all his years of helping Thanos conquer the universe, I doubt he ever came across anyone like The Avengers... or more specifically, someone with vast movie knowledge like Peter Parker! ;) As for him being able to take on Thanos... maybe. Maybe not. Wanda is a different story.

Yeah definitely this.

Have you guys never read a comic before? There is no such thing as dead, and since it's pretty safe to say the time stone is going to reset a lot of good guy deaths, why not his? More than that, he might have simply been frozen in space, but perhaps that isn't enough to kill him.
