It's a bare fact that populations of any given species cannot keep doubling (or more), given that resources for it are finite. This is even more true for all life in the universe. Therefore, it follows that some kind of control is necessary at a certain point. Thanos just acted out this logic; props

What I like about thanos is he has the ultimate hero complex. He thinks of himself as this misunderstood hero that knows what s best for everyone but in reality everything he does is in service of his own ego and is incapable of excepting any reality in which he his wrong.

The thing that makes Thanos both sinister and understandable is that his want for destruction does come from what seems like a a genuine cause. It’s a cause that many in the real world agree with, so it makes his relentlessness feel real.

thanos in a warped way is trying to make the universe a better place. basically thanos serves as the ultimate answer to what do we do when the bigger universe nick fury warned tony about gets too big

Guys, he's the MAD Titan. Why are we debating weather or not hie plans make sense. Of course they don't make sense! That's why we're trying to stop him!

I loved him as a villain, but I voted this way because I do think he could have used the infinity stones to solve his problem in many other ways. He could have created more planets or whatever he wanted. He could have figured it out without wiping out half the population, which is temporary anyways.

Yes, he could use the gauntlet to create infinite amount of resources or something, but that wouldn't teach anyone a lesson in his eyes. For him, it's all about proving that his people should have listened to him.
That's because the Infinity Gauntlet was made for a crazy evil death obsessed villain, it wasn't made for villain whose out for the greater good, it doesn't work for the character they gave us.
He's elevated by Brolin's performance, but on paper he's generic as hell, if you did this character in a comic book or a novel nobody would find him interesting. Brolin is able to bring a sincerity and passion to a frankly goofy motivation and philosophy. His motivation is a combination of clichés.

Compared to comic Thanos, MCU Thanos is a pale shadow. Didn't buy the motivation. I know impressing Lady Death would have been tough to pull off in the movies. But kill half the universe to... do what? What was his point? A survival of the fittest thing? Not clear. It's too crowded? Not buying it.

His motivation isn’t the problem so much as his sadistic nature doesn’t mesh with the motivation that gave him. You can’t have a “greater good, but bad methods” villain, while also saying he has fun beating people and is an overall sadist. Seems like they wanted it both ways, which hurts character.
Reply
Also his the ends justifies the means motivation doesn't work with the infinity gauntlet, it's a device that can literally do anything.
That's most of my issue with him. You've gotta explore the sadism or totally retcon it once you decide it's a necessarily evil motivation. Maybe he lost himself along the way and is corrupted by his power, even before the gauntlet, but we're not told that.
We definitely ought to do away with fossil fuels, and EV's are a way to do it, but we ought to address our out of control car culture too and make vast, revolutionary investments into robust public transit.

What you do mean "reconsider"? I considered one before, now I'm strongly considering it.

No one can afford one in this economy and Biden. Think buying a electric vehicle will help the environment, climate. Does not exist the climate is always changing
I can buy a ****LOT**** of gasoline for the money an Electric Vehicle would cost... ****AND**** my gas-consuming vehicles are a ****LOT**** more cost-effective over the next 10 years ***AND*** much less damaging to the environment NOW and in the FUTURE. I will NEVER buy an EV.

Electric cars are great for around town. They can not replace my truck for towing. Taking a boat to prineville reservoir from bend and back is pretty taxing if not impossible for most Electric vehicles currently. I don't want to make it home with 3% battery hoping nothing happens along the way.

They are still to expensive, don't have a far enough reach and there is not enough infrastructure. We aren't there yet. Maybe in 10 years, but not now.
Reply
I am considering an electric vehicle, but gas prices really don't play a part in this decision.
Reply
Will never buy an electric vehicle! The cost and maintenance over the long term just don't pencil out.
Reply
The arrogance of our country thinking we can make a difference in changing the climate is laughable. Especially when countries such as China, India, Russia and those in South America do not pay attention to any of it.
Reply
NOT HARDLY! First of all I do not like them and would never buy one! Secondly I will not be forced by the liberal lunatic left!!!
Reply
I will when they are feasible they are not I am in the auto business they have just as many negative's as positives. But in 5-10 years maybe we will see Hydrogen or Bio fueled would have been a better way to go but whatever Politicians think is best for us
Reply
We need to find a better way to store electricity before electric vehicles will be feasible for the whole of society.
