      Eh, I'm going to go with "killing the people trying to kill you + trillions of innocents" is okay, even if some of them were conscripts. If we accept the premise of the story, then lethal violence is justified here.

      I think the angle with Tony's snap specifically would be, "Is lethal violence *still* justified granted the other options that near-infinite power might grant you?" But bearing in mind that he has exactly one shot and very little time to think.

      Doctor Strange's statement that out of over 14 million scenarios this was the only one that ended in defeat for Thanos heavily implies that any solution less than the utter annihilation of him and his death cult was doomed to failure.

      yes, propagandists often say they have no other choice but to invade Iraq, drop an atom bomb, or muder all the Jews.

      How exactly is killing the Children of Thanos a better metaphor for the Holocaust than for the Nuremberg Trials

      I mean the Children explicitly aren't a "race" or a "culture" We're explicitly shown this, they're randomly chosen individuals from each of the species Thanos has genocided who get inducted into his army

      They're all combatants, they're a military They really tried to remove as much moral ambiguity here as they could

      (The Chitauri explicitly WERE presented as a species and/or culture who were all Chaotic Evil Space Orcs and the new idea of the Children of Thanos was a deliberate revision)

      Hell, the Chitauri are basically a bunch of cyborgs who might well be reanimated corpses for all we know seeing as they die instantly when the connection to their ship is severed. And the Outriders are mindless engineered flesh-drones.

      As Rocket points out in the deleted scenes, they really aren't a very good army, and they might be the way they are because of the necessary compromises you have to make when raising a military whose political purpose is universal genocide

      Like the Children of Thanos are a demonstration that Thanos *can* induct other people into his omnicidal megalomaniac worldview without completely destroying their personhood and agency, if he gets them at an early enough age

          But that much brainwashing takes a lot of work and it's hard to make it scale up quickly

          I mean he's claimed that some of the planets were grateful for the prosperity they supposedly obtained after he killed half their population. like, maybe he's lying, but it seems more likely that he's just cherry-picking a few unrepresentative examples

          Like, if *Steve* of all fuckin people can say "maybe he had a point, there's whales in the Hudson now" it's not that far-fetched that there were at least a few planets whose survivors collectively ended up settling on that attitude. Couldn't they have sent volunteers?
