No he wasn't, his idea was shit.

Halving something means that, at 7% growth per year, you're right back where you were in 10 years. Traumatic events usually make people multiply like bunnies for a while so yeah.. Even in the best case scenario, he'd murder trillions of people, traumatize the rest, and all that to buy "the universe" what, 10, 20, maybe 30 years.

Instead he could go out and teach everyone how to become responsible. Slowly have less babies until, you know, the world evens out in a good number. Earth can be quite nice and stable with, say, 5 billion people, and then you make sure that in average, just as many people are born as they die. Use taxes and other things to control that. Nobody needs to suffer or be bloody murdered or winked out of existence, no dictatorship necessary, just nice teaching.

Or he could've just doubled all the resources in the universe.

If you can kill half the universe you could create an infinite resource glitch.

Doubling or halving anything would not solve the problem if growth is the problem.

I mean he has a glove that can rewrite the fundamental nature of the universe. He could've figured it out.

The funniest part though is that in the comics he only wanted to wipe out half of all life to impress lady death who Thanos was in love with. But apparently a dude wiping half the universe to try to stop getting cucked by Deadpool doesn't make a great story for a movie.

Lol. Some people get way too involved in some mythical lore.

It's all irrelevant with the time travel bullshit anyway in Marvel universe. Nothing bad can happen because you can just reverse it all.

Eh, it's not that I'm involved in it, I saw the movies, that's about it. It just struck me as a seriously dumb idea. This enormously powerful guy who wants to make the universe better by killing half of the people. it was just dumb.
