Galactic population also would have been right back where it was in, at most, a few centuries. It was a stopgap solution at best. And his comics motivation wasn't anything noble; he just wanted to bang Death and thought omnicide would turn her on.

Thanos spending decades trying to become the most powerful being in the universe in order to make sure life doesn’t outgrow the resources it depends on without once thinking that there was a solution other than murdering half of all life is not a convincing storyline.

Thanos spending decades trying to kill trillions of people because he was horny is a 100% convincing motive.

Disney would rather villainize environmentalism than incels.

same, I went into the movie hoping for a relatable "need goth gf" motivation and not the nonsensical Malthus stuff

I don't know about the comics, but there is real life result from having better education curtailing overpopulation. The Earth's population as we speak is expected to plateau, as the rest of the developing countries are catching up economically and becoming better educated. I don't see why the galactic population can't be the same.

Except that we are going to get fucked globally when developing countries become richer and have better standard of living while producing a shit-ton more waste and fucking climate even more.

Only if every developing country becomes like America.
