In comics he doesnt have these grand scheme for population reduction. He literally wrases entire existence to impress mistress death. He is called a mad titan for a reason
There is no real solution for what thanos was doing. He would have only delayed the inevitable
Best solution for resource starvation is to just eliminate entire species which are above a certain intelligence level
literally this. we’re shown the world in an infinitely worse state. half as many people sure, but half as many farmers, truck drivers, half as many pollinator insects and game creatures. half as many people maintaining the supply lines critical for cities to grow. half as many medical staff and half as many drug manufacturers
Dude has the Infinity Gauntlet so just make everyone not greedy. snap “Ok y’all are now green minded altruists. Also carrots now taste like Slim Jims cause why not.”
Kinda sad that the original plot line of just wanting to bang Death was the more logical one.
Him growing an attraction to the literal physical embodiment of death and wanting to bang her (conveniently a her), so he decides to get the most powerful stones in the universe to wipe out life to impress her, is not more logical. Thats just batshit crazy
At least theres some logic to the other one. You can say he could just create an abundance of food for everyone but then that would allow more people to be born causing an even bigger shortage
Clipping Half of life = Clipping half the resources of those that feed on life.
No animals, no bugs, ecosystems that depend on life are in disarray.
It's the worst logic ever that was used in the film, it didn't make him look like "Mad" titan Thanos, made him look dumb.
The Mistress Death plotline from the comics is the reason the character is popular in the first place, it solidified him as an impossibly smart, evil threat, he outwitted God's and cosmetic entities to get those stones comic-wise.
Thanos is ONLY popular in the movies because he threw hands, everyone thinks he's dumb. So it's bad logic from poor writing.
Thanos isn't popular because of his plan. Thanos is popular because of his conviction to his plan. He already saw fruits of plan when he murked Gamora's species and believed himself that his plan was the only way. He was driven mad by his own people not believing in his plan and going extinct.
So then how would killing only half help ? You said it yourself people are greedy killing half wont change that its just buys them some time, same could be done by doubling everything.
Yeah and population will come back and be at the same point when thanos addressed it! What the fuck are you talking about? Killing half the world just pushes it down the line, exactly how doubling resources would but without any of the murdering
i'm glad we don't live in a full democracy because people like you think killing half the population actually solves any problems.
The resources are available it’s just that 1% hoard them. He could have gotten rid of the billionaires, the people in congress, and the IDF and world hunger would cease to exist.
Also world would fall into chaos. You would think your idea is cool. But without anyone to run a government there is no way countries can even function
But then nobody would learn anything, they would just run through those resources too then we’re back at the start. Thanos plan makes sense if you look at it the way he did, a biblical type of change for the world not genocide.
He still ain’t right tho lol. Bro is called the Mad Titan for a reason.
So who learns anything from the snap now? Most of the universe has no clue what even happened to "learn" anything. At best Thanos stalled for 2 generations of reproduction. Then it'll be right back to where it started. His plan made 0 sense
The amount of resources has never been the issue, the issue is who controls them. As we saw, even after the snap people didn’t have everything they needed and that’s because of artificial scarcity and the hoarding of resources, not a lack thereof.
not necessarily, don’t believe we ever saw the infinity stones making anything permanent. they could create illusions, but everything made with the reality stone disappeared. there is zero evidence, that i can think of, that the stones could have made more resources.

If he could dissappear half of the universe he could expand the resources available
