Why didn't he just modify everyone's fertility rates?

Are you incapable of reading

>bro just turn off your brain and enjoy the movie lol

>Uses stones to alter everyone's mind to be more considerate and respectful to resources

Now the Avengers are the bad guys

Doesn't thanos know that the entire unobservable universe is about 46 billion light years in all directions?

There's no possible way any life forms could use up all it's resources. Even given billions of years

It’s capeshit, it has a different world

No more babies for the next two hundred years. Also, everyone is now a vegan.

Sounds good to me.

Who cares about his plan. He's a big bad and hulk has to punch him.

>Lel why did "The Mad Titan" Thanos do something radical with infinite power?

Capeshit intellectuals are a special level of retarded

It was about pleasing Lady Death. He's in love with her.

why not just make everyone else tiny so they use less resources?

why didnt he just make it so that resources never deplete or just regenerate super fast

That isn't true according to the movie, though, because he watched his home planet, and race, die from lack of resources, so there's his justification.

>prevent people dying by killing people
bravo

Not when Earth is in it

Because the actual premise of the movie is bullshit

Why would he kill the individual living beings instead of destroying their factories/machines/industries that are the actual driving forces behind most resource consumption

Why didn't he take a few asteroids and turn them into Dyson spheres or farm satellites

Fuck off, Zeke

why didn't he just do an sql injection

Twisted logic, sure. A millennia of life might alter your perception too.

Based retards still trying to apply logic to an insane man's plan.

Well he ain't a sociopath at least, because he does care for Gamora, as was shown in the movie.

No, he thought it was love, which is why it worked. I wouldn't call what he did to his children love in the slightest. He absolutely was a sociopath.

Pretty sure the point of that scene was establishing that he did actually care for, and it wasn't just a delusion.

That would make sense. But if history makes sense of anything in the future, it'll make sense of the fact that the definition of sanity is to avoid people who negatively impact a person's lifespan and life quality, and instead choose people who don't make one's life a misery, because lifespan is too short to waste on too many people (ergo pick from the top instead of the bottom).
Example: Transfreaks and dilation.
A post-op transfreak cuts off their penis and is left with an open wound called a "neo-vagina" which has a tendency to regenerate and close up throughout the transfreak's entire lifespan.
The solution is for the transfreak to dilate, a painful experience of stuffing a dilation rod into the "neo-vagina" to keep it from closing up, which has to be done their whole life for at least 4 hours a day, and which can at best be reduced to 3-4 times a week.
Result: A person who's basically on a mentally unstable "period" 3-4 times a week, their whole life, with negative impacts on emotions and personality which negatively impact the surroundings and make it a misery and suffering to be anywhere near the transfreak. A person who's also constantly drugged up and has a high tendency to become a drug addict to compensate for the all aforementioned, while also harboring increasing suicidal tendencies as years pass by. The miserable experience of the 1st year of having a baby is FORCED onto the surroundings, except transfreaks are 10 times worse than babies and instead of 1 year you suffer them for decades.
Oh, and those "neo-vaginas" grow hair inside of them and also accumulate a disgusting puss concoction which altogether requires them to dig out the concoction like a cat throws up hairballs.
That's what history will remember. A 0.00001% of society which nobody sane wants to associate with because life is too precious to allow it to be harmed and degenerated by a transfreak virus. Families have to suffer the nightmare of the transfreaks, the rest of society doesn't.

If I beat my wife and yell at her because I "love" her, is it love? If i forced my children into deathmatches to make them stronger, is it love? It's 100% delusion, but the stone doesn't give a shit about true love, does it.

We're not arguing about Thanos and his definition of love, or your perception of it, we're arguing about the fact that the stone, practically sentient and requiring that sacrifice, wouldn't have awarded itself to him if the feeling wasn't genuine. That was the test.

So exactly like killing half the people? If you were to kill half the people on earth in at most 50 years later the number will be the same as before the culling.

Yeah, but from the look of his homeworld in Avengers 3, that happened centuries ago.

He's been brooding on his anger for ages out in the depths of space and lost sight of the idealistic goals he once believed in.

I'm trying to find the driectors talking about this shit, but my jewgle fu is shit apparently. They've gone on to say Thanos's plan "is wholely flawed, but he's so delusional he thinks it's the only way". We jumped off on this love tangent, but delusion is a heavily defining characteristic of Thanos, and if he believed it so deeply himself that he loved Gamora, the stone might think it was true.

No doubt. He was definitely an edgelord, but even edgelords have feelings and convince themselves of what they think is the proper course of action. Usually ending themselves, but Thanos is clearly above that.

>the stone might think it was true.
This is where you're making a mistake. Granted, we can't know the depths of the reasoning behind the stone, we can only go by what is shown to us, and what was shown is that the only way it would work is if the sacrifice was genuine, and we're talking about a piece of rock that is beyond omnipotent, is literally the galaxy itself, and clearly has powers beyond the scope of our imagination. To think it can't understand the difference would just be odd.

Edgelords kill themselves because it's the ultimate middle finger to those who would seek justice otherwise, as well as the easiest way out. Imagine if you had an edgelord with the power to actually battle the dozens of police officers after their regular school shooting, kill them all off, and flee into the night, to prepare for your next shooting. Do you think they would kill themselves, or would they instead spend the effort battling their way in and out of schools and causing panic on international scale? Thanos is fully capable of fighting the police, military, special services, and more of every planet in the cosmos.

That isn't necessarily true, though. Friend of mine killed himself summer of my junior year. He wasn't an edgelord at all, at least on the outside, and no one knows why he ended up doing it. One of those out of left field actions that makes no sense however you look at it. He didn't hate everybody. Maybe he was just bored, I dunno.

Why is it so weird to presume that Thanos genuinely loved Gamora and wanted for her to be his surrogate daughter so much that his sacrifice was genuinely agonizing? Other than his overwhelming presence and status as a virtually unkillable titan in the galaxy, we know nothing of his bond with Gamora other than he wanted her to be incomparably fierce and powerful in a galaxy that is ridiculously fierce and powerful, and was not willing to let her soften up under any circumstances.

Honestly if I met a capeshitter IRL I'd bea the living shit out of it.

shouldve killed everything desu

Why don't you stop making this thread?

If this was comicbook Thanos, he would have wiped the entire MCU universe in a short period of time. MCU Thanos is too soft and weak.

No one wants a shit MCU version of Children Of Men

how exactly are people going to "run out" of resources in an infinite universe with infinite resources and established space travel

Why didn’t he just read out birthrate statistics until they were convinced to change their ways?

the universe isn't actually infinite

All he needed to do was delete everybody beyond a certain shade of brown and make the world a thriving utopia

i was JUST about to zekepost in this thread

Zeke-mind

resources, outside of fossile fuels and electricity, mostly come from living beings as well (cattle, farming etc.)
by killing half of all living beings including plants he significantly reduced 'resources' as well

It might as well be

why are you theorycrafting about capeshit trash

Why didn’t Doctor Strange go back in time and kill Thanos?

Isn't this the logic gun grabbers use? That by having gun rights, and shooting the school shooter/mugger, the number of killers remain the same since you become a killer yourself?

but doubling resources would over-cramp planets. it would be stupid for thanos to have to create a duplicate of each planet. doubling resources just speeds things up faster. thanos obviously doesn't care about killing people so why would he do anything else?

why didn't he just make more space?

But now there's twice as many resources available per capita, so people will just baby boom and it will be at the exact same population again in a generation.

>If I beat my wife and yell at her because I "love" her, is it love? If i forced my children into deathmatches to make them stronger, is it love?
Yes and yes

This sounds fucking cool, should've left it in the script

He's the Mad Titan Thanos.
The idea is that back before he was on his quest for the Infinity Stones, before he even considered them as an option, the only way to save his world was to do the 50% culling on his home world.
They didn't listen, his world and his people got destroyed, and he was driven insane with guilt over not managing to stop a catastrophe he saw coming.
Past that point, he isn't thinking rationally. He's convinced that the one thing that can be done, is what must be done, what should have been done, except everywhere, because if he couldn't save his home, he'll save everywhere else.

So yes, it doesn't make sense that he doesn't do a million and one other things, but he's not thinking rationally. He just sees a chance to do what he couldn't do before and looking for alternative solutions, the very idea of which cause his world to hesitate and die is beyond him, even though with the Infinity Gauntlet it would be easy.

That motivation is still silly for general audiences, they wouldn't be able to take it seriously.

"Ends justifies the means" is the go to motivation for big villains.

Because he is convinced that his method is the right thing to do, yes it's illogical.

They went out of their way to explain his motives. It's a freaking marvel movie, pay attention.

best use.

Does he snap his fingers again every few decades? The universe is going to repopulate, or does he only intend to do it once?

Why didn't he just understand the concept of non-linearity or rudimentary population dynamics.
