He really is the dumbest villain of them all.
It will take 20 years to get those lives back anyway. On every planet.
Fuck, that movie was bad
This actually seems like a pretty reasonable solution.
Avengers Endgame x Downsizing.
This made me think, he removed half of all living things right? So plants and animals would’ve also been halved which means he did nothing to solve the problem and just kept it going with half as many people and more chaos has figures of power were removed.
I’m not sure I’ve seen a film where the takeaway people get for a character motivation is so different from my own.
It isn’t about resources.
It is about what we value and a belief that pain, loss, and sacrifice are required to force a population to appreciate what they have in the aftermath. The legacy is the trauma being so vast that nearly all are impacted. It is about changing the trajectory of a planet via a reset.
Thanos constantly pushes this demanding people to be willing to sacrifice and he judges them accordingly. Loki fails to sacrifice Thor, Gamora fails to sacrifice Nebula. However when Quill pulls the trigger to sacrifice Gamora Thanos admires him and ultimately Thanos sacrifices Gamora. He believes in will and how to attain his goal he has to lose everything and live out his days in a farm alone.
Now, he is the villain and I don’t agree with such a horrible solution, but I do think it was well constructed as a motivation.
That whole plotline was a philosophy statement.
If Thanos was truly all-powerful, he could have made everyone in the universe randomly infertile for a few generations until the population was 1/10th what it was when people were at war over limited resources.
He killed half the people under the auspices of “if half of them don’t die now, everyone will starve soon”
He was the adult making the “hard choices” that the children refused to do.
He can literally change reality. He could have just changed reality to make it more sustainable.

Why not double the resources
ROCK AND STONE FOR EVERYONE
Everyone now half sized. Americans: Still drive monster sized SUVs and Trucks
But there’s a background line showing either height or distance in panel 1 and 3 and it’s completely at the same height in both?
If I’m remembering correctly the current movie reason was he is a eternal of his world, he doesn’t quite understand what happened to his world (a celestial was born from it) and is assuming that cutting the population in half will prevent it from happening to other worlds
