What did he mean by this?

Seriously, is there something obvious mentioned in the movie (that he passed up on)? Did something happen in one of the previous movies that explains what he "ignored"?

imagine unironically legitimately caring about capeshit

I don't have a girlfriend. Let me have this.

>he hasn't read the tie-in novel series

If you wanna be super specific I think he blaims himself for his people dying and his failure to save them was like ignoring his destiny in his mind. This makes him a psycopath by this point in the story which is why he works as a great villain

>Thanos: It was. And it was beautiful. Titan was like most planets: too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.
>Strange: Genocide.
>Thanos: At random. Dispassionate, fair. Rich and poor alike. They called me a madman. And what I predicted came to pass.
>[...]
>Thanos: With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers and they would all cease to exist. You know what I call that? Mercy.
>Strange: Then what?
>Thanos: I finally rest. Watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills.
How did marvel write such a great villain?

This. pay attention to the movie OP

Why didnt he just snapped his fingers to make more resources

>dude why won't we just give more resources to africa, this will solve all the problems

Goddammit. I was thinking there was something I had missed in another film or they were referring to something major that they were going to reveal in the next movie. I invented this crazy thing in my head...but I missed the obvious.

Thanks.

>pay attention to the movie OP
Yeah, I'm a doofus.

people need problems to overcome, but not too much or too little, just balanced.

>dude just kill half the africans that will solve all the problems

Thanos is fucking retarded, hilarious how people think this guy is a good villain

Why he didnt just gave them all an universal flash vision from the future of whats gonna happen if they dont solve the problem and how to solver and give them more resources and also raised their iq points to they can be sustainable on their own

Because he wanted to prove to everyone (and himself) that his original plan was good.

I find the flaws in his logic is what makes him a believable psychopath.

it 100% would tho?

This doesn't make sense. He doesn't have any remorse/guilt over not being able to save his planet and he doesn't see himself as a failure either. Thanos's people ignored him, not the other way around. And he was massacring plenty of populations, like Gamora's, before this movie - if doing that is his destiny then he's busy about it. It's just shitty nebulous writing to make the scene seem more dramatic than it actually is.

No it wouldn't they'd still be poor and starve
Why would he want to prove hes capable of genocide

Damn, you're right. Best go for 100% then

I imagine he thought of exterminating half of Titan before it collapsed, but ignored it because it would be 'evil' and was likely argued down by scientists and councils etc.

Now he considers his purpose greater than any morality, so looking back he considers his hesitation an act of ignorance rather than optimism, especially because he ended up manifesting that destiny anyway.

>like most planets: too many mouths, not enough to go around.

Name FIVE planets where this happened.

He didn’t ask Death out and now she’s banging Deadpool.

>don't give me fruits give me trees
>but user you need to work the land and put effort to make the trees grow
>I SAID GIVE ME FRUITS WHITETOID
Truly a smart nigger

Watch the scene where he talks with Doctor Strange. Thanos explicitly says that he suggested to Titan that they have a "random genocide", and they told him he was crazy and ignored him. He doesn't say anything about feeling guilt over any failure; instead he calls himself a survivor. He had just as much chance as anyone of dying on Titan but he managed to come out alive.

The "ignoring my destiny" line probably is meant refer to Titan but it's completely inconsistent with his later story and is supposed to just make him seem prescient to the audience. It's a bad, meaningless one-liner.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter's IO, Klaxion V and soon Terra

moar

Or just a bad written character
