Eh, I don't know. Thanos did a very good job as a villain, but the more you think about it, the least it makes any sense. For starters, if he killed half of all life in the universe, what has he really spared? You'd have half the demand, and half the supply as well. Only material resources wouldn't be halved, and he was specifically talking about food in the film. If he only killed half of intelligent life, then it makes a little more sense, but it's still dumb. Couldn't he just double the resources in the galaxy with the Infinity Gauntlet or something? I mean maybe I'd get his point if it was more of a rush of blood, but he's been clearly wanting to do this for centuries or at least decades, surely he must have thought this through and realized he could just do the opposite of what he did? Ah well, whatever. When you don't think too much about it, it does work. |
In the film they show him slaughtering the people of Gomorrahs home world. Which improved greatly since his genocide. It worked once so it will work on a larger scale. I assume that is the angle he is going with.
The thing is creating more resources might cause problems As well, where do they go, does he have to create more planets for them. Cutting the population in half will solve a lot of problems, adding more stuff will likely lead to more issues.
