The only one who has ever been ultimately responsible for his downfall.....Is himself...
He has never been defeated at the height of his power by force
I don't wanna get too deep about a comic villain, but many people, readers IRL and characters in the stories as well have speculated that it's the pain of rejection throughout his life, from a young child all the way to falling in love with death that drives his hunger for power, but deep down, he never really wanted it.
Warlock explains it to him a CPL times and he contemplates in the closing pages of The Infinity Gauntlet.
Edit: I was thrilled to read that Kevin feige had said that Infinity War part 1 was basically fences movie.
It will pretty much be his movie, and he will be the main character in it.
I have always said that a hero is only as good as the villain he's facing and this guy is the villain of all villains.

That is going to be a legitimate challenge to this duology, and honestly it could end up being Infinite Wars' biggest problem (aside from having like 50 superheroes in it).
Thanos was completely unbeatable in IG. He was so unbeatable, the conflict on the comic book page could play out as boring on the big screen.
He's a god. And as a god, IG had to invent a ridiculous deux ex machina for him to be defeated. That will absolutely not fly on screen.
X-Men: Apocalypse ran into this same problem: mortals can't beat a god. In IG, even gods couldn't beat Thanos.
So what brings him down?
Almost certainly, nothing sensible will bring him down. He can't lose, so the writers will have to invent something stupid in order for him to lose.
