    Killing off half the population of the galaxy isn't actually a good way to solve any social problems, including so-called overpopulation. For one thing, it would take most species only a generation or two to return to old population level.

        If they had only made Thanos an incel (as in the comics) the movie would've been more realistic and timely.

        Yes but if you've got a magic death glove you can just keep doing it, no problemo.

        Thanos doesn't get the "On what day is the pond half-full of lily pads?" riddle.

        look.. it is the 20-80 problem. 20% of people consuming 80% resources. He should have been more selective. and that would also be a stronger deterrent for consuming too much for future generations.

        OK, but, with the civilized part of the population, the second order effects of a catastrophic wiping out of half the population would probably lead to another halving in a matter of days or weeks

        It's still better character motivation than "Friendzoned by the personification of Death."
