I don't think that was Sadism! I think it was boasting! Like when he showed us how he had imprisoned Kronos, the Supreme Titan! Why, instead of killing us when we escaped, did he merely disable us, so that we had to witness his Transformation! Thanos wanted an Audience, someone to feed his Ego, someone to see him change into and gain control of the entire Universe and everything in it! What Fun is there in becoming God if there is no one to watch?

During this flashback, Heather encounters Eros and Thanos as children, though Thanos here is shown as an adult.
