but I thought the universe is infinitely expanding

Because infinite resources in a finite universe wouldn't be perfectly balanced at all, it would be excess and disorder.

>Wish for infinite resources
Great, now you have an apple in every inch of the universe. You literally suffocated the entire universe in Apples.
What's your next trick?
Noah Perez
Not OP, but fine. Then better question, why didn't Thanos use his infinite power to instantly fix the complex and nuanced problems that result in the universal formation of life, and it's subsequent overpopulation. Like, while didn't he install some subtle rule in physics that puts a soft cap on population growth?

I don't know, user, you tell me.

Why didn't Ant-Man beat Thanos?
Colton Bailey
Maybe point was not in growth, but in ambitions.
Space faring civilizations more likely would have stable population.
But personal needs will be always growing.
Like there is billion of titans, each of them want their own city, continent, planet.
Changing minds of all universe and make everyone to limit wishes would be literally Universe-scale mindrape. And its... questionable.

Why didn’t Thanos just shrink all life to half the size?

Realistically, there would still be problems, and potentially worse than the snap.
Infinite resources might lead to infinite waste. If there were infinite pools of oil, there'd be no reason to conserve it or use efficient engines. This would lead to tremendous amounts of greenhouse gas emissions.
It'd also completely fuck economies. Markets are controlled by supply and demand and that would lead to some weird shit when supply is infinite and demand has infinite growth.
Everyone would want manufactured goods, and you'd need people to extract them, but the raw goods themselves would be so common as to be essentially worthless. Why pay someone to pick apples or dig up diamonds when there are so many diamonds and apples that literally everyone has them? Mechanizing the workforce would be ideal to avoid wasting capital on wages for functionally worthless materials. Manufacturing would also want to be automized as much as possible to maximize profit.
Thus the only functionally scarce items are those that required some degree of manufacturing, in a process that requires as few workers as possible.
You'd get a caste system of low skill laborers in things like the service industries, and incredibly small number of individuals in managerial, accounting, or entertainment roles, essentially positions that cannot be automated, and an isolated elite class with ungodly amounts of money and power. Worse even than what's seen in hyper-capitalist countries. We're talking quintillionares vs wage workers at or near third world country incomes (

Shitpost gets a shitpost
Brandon Morgan
He didn’t want to make infinite resources, he wanted to kill half the universe
Carter Lopez
How would that work?
Blake Brown
Why didn't Thanos just wish for a second infinity gauntlet?

WOOK MOMY I POSTED IT AGAIN

This massive inequity could lead to absolutely terrifying conflicts. Less nation vs nation, more class conflicts. See the French Revolution and how the underclasses act when there's tremendous rifts between the haves and have-nots.
Even worse, with near limitless resources, such struggles would potentially last indefinitely. Modern economic systems require scarcity to function, so the underlying problems that inevitably lead to class schisms cannot be resolved. There will always be resentment and insurmountable market barriers causing tensions. Neither side would be likely to stall out due to disease (reproduction rates would be skyrocketing far faster than death rates from disease could ever overcome, though it is worth mentioning that with near limitless populations, only the upper echelons would be able to afford medical care (due to manufactured good scarcity and skilled labor shortages relative to population).
You get this endless cycle of the vastly more numerous underclass rebelling against those at the top, fighting in and amongst the populations until some arbitrary faction gets enough power/influence to force temporary stability. This leads to merchantry and power consolidation until we once again have elites and lower classes on the verge of war. Those in the lower classes would fight over access to services, jobs, and what few manufactured goods might be available.
Some nations might be able to avoid this cycle of turmoil, or at least delay it by going to war with neighboring countries and artificially creating war economies. Now you have countries at war with infinite supplies.
We know how Russia plays with a hard cap on an admittedly large population, imagine the gross loss of life from wars with populations permanently in exponential growth. Oh, and there's infinite nuclear materials.

because marvel movies are garbage. jesus, how many times do I have to remind you fuckers

eh

because he's horny for DEATH you fucking retard.
John Baker
Ironically the mcu gauntlet does not have infinite power to support this
Lucas Cruz
WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST SEND THOR BACK TO THIS EXACT MOMENT AND SLICE OFF THANOS’S ARM HERE?
Ethan Fisher
Addressed in the movie, going back and just killing Thanos before the snap wouldn't bring back the snapped in their original timeline because multiple timeline bullshit.
Matthew King
why didn't he use the infinity gauntlet to turn into a fucking?
