Why didn't they just arrest Thanos like in the comics?

In the 1970s comic books were all about whatever fun shit you could put on a few pages that would entertain kids. Keep in mind there was absolutely no internet or anything of the sort. These days comic books are a thing that only nerds enjoy(and even most nerds hate todays comics), but back then it was pure fun. Comic book writers sat around thinking of the most fun badass stories they could possibly think of and then they did that.

Superheroes were also not as well established so you had all sorts of different comic book ideas being thrown at the wall like a dart board. Some succeeded and got popular, and some weren't popular at all.

Btw today you have to go to a specialized nerd comic store to buy comic books. But back in the 70s, 80s, etc, comic books could be seen for sale at your local grocery store or convenience shop.

The show had Spider-Man segments in each episode
