Thanos’ plan was so fucking stupid. He wanted to eliminate half of the population to reduce the lack of resources. This completely ignores how populations grow exponentially and will be back to the original quantity in a generation or two… His plan kills half the population while not actually fixing the resource problem.
Should have just snapped his fingers for unlimited resources. What a dum dum.
i guess that explains how T’Challa was just straight up able to talk him out of it in What If. Thanos legitimately just needed someone to explain to him everything wrong with his plan.
I don’t know why but for some reason the Thanos one bugs me more, it feels more fundamentally wrong. Like I understand the flaws with the matrix, I went electrical engineering to software development, but to me I’m still willing to accept some wand wavy bullshit about how they need to harvest humans for power, more than I am that a population won’t double immediately. Like the biology of consciousness and brains and electricity have a lot more room for complex weirdness than the weeds in my walkway always immediately regrowing.

Also by destroying half of all life, presumably that includes animals and plants (and therefore food resources).
Doesn’t really seem like it solved anything at all
In the comics is much more direct: he wants Death to love him so, as a present, he wants to kill half of everything in the universe.

Well this is where I think they did get it right. He was blind with power and no one cared to oppose him. If they did, they died.
Fucking hell I never though of that 5 years ago
This was annoying. I love sci-fi so I don’t need realism but the writers should at least make some effort for plausibility.
Same with The Matrix (my favorite movie) and their human battery shit that “combined with a form of fusion” solved their energy needs.

Thanos is exactly what you get when you combine infinite power with a mediocre imagination.
Color me shocked
I’m busy, colour yourself. But you can borrow my crayons, because I’m nice.
You have too many crayons so I’m taking half of them
