Thanos was a great villain by this standard. He had lived through the suffering and collapse of his homeworld due to overpopulation, so his motivations actually made sense.
Omg the Thanos thing drives me CRAZY and I don't know why everyone else just gives it a pass.
There was no attempt at diplomacy with Thanos. If they just had a few diplomats talk about their needs, Thanos would have realized pretty quick that killing half of the humans wouldn't be the best way to obtain his goal.
Here's the proposition: how about you snap your fingers and make 99% of the population of overpopulated species sterile?
It would be wayyy more effective at meeting Thanos' goal (of reducing suffering caused by overpopulation) and literally nobody has to die!
His plan was childishly idiotic which ruined any good will his motivation had
Funnily enough I watched Avengers yesterday and was reminded of the sheer stupidity of Thanos' plan.
Kill half the living beings. Great. After a traumatic event, people typically nstart banging like bunnies and you'll get a great amount of offspring and within 30 years things will be worse than before because of what you did.
Instead, bring the miracle of contraception and improve living standards for everyone and watch a miracle unfold with so much less resources required than maintaining huge armies to cause suffering
He could have just made half the people born ever again sterile
Idiotic, yeah, but at least it’s more thought out than “because fuck you, that’s why” which is all we get a lot of the time.
I would prefer an honest fuck you then an idea that doesn't actually make sense and is pretty obviously flawed.
That's not the taking into account hours much effort it took to pull off
