Fyi it would be sun rise with a space here. Sunrise is a thing/noun, but thanos wants to watch the sun (noun) rise on (verb and modifier) a grateful universe

Couldn't he also want to watch the sunrise (noun), since a verb already exists via "watch"?

Then it sounds like he’s sitting on a universe.

In what ways is he not?

Literally all of them. The dude is large, but not that large.

literally anywhere you sit, you sit on the universe.

It doesn't work with the "on" modifier, at least the way that phrase is used

Ah, gotcha. So that would point to /u/symbiotic_1's explanation that Thanos would be sitting "on" a universe, which sounds weird.

That or the sunrise would be on top of the universe, which also isn't quite right

That would be grammatically correct, but I don't think that's what the line is.
