No its pointing out morons who pretend he's onto something when hes batshit crazy and the only fricking way to discuss that is pointing out how irrational his plan is.
Y'know, now that I think about it doubling the resources is also a bad idea because it discounts placement, distribution, space, et cetera.
Like you snap and then the place with a housing crisis has a bunch of trees popping up in the existing houses.

>mountains of rotting food >forests so dense you can't walk through them >oceans become overcrowded with fish >crops grow so high that you can't see over them >livestock everywhere
Wouldn't the simplest answer be to soft lock reproduction?
That probably requires more mental power than a single being could handle. Cutting life in half is simple and instant, and that nearly killed Thanos. Imagine if he tried to set up a bunch of conditionals for every species to only have the ability to reproduces as long as resources are sufficient to sustain it.
All he would have to do is limit the amount of babies you can have to one or two. They might even enjoy that since people love sex but can't be bothered to take care of all the kids that might result from it.
I'm pretty sure the entire premise itself is bullshit.
What does it even mean to not have enough resources when you're at a point that you have interstellar travel?
Neither version of the idea works. The infinity gauntlet controls all of reality and thensome. He could have come up with a more reasonable solution that didn't kill or destroy anything, but instead he chose the high school edgelord's philosophical reasoning that just killing a ton of people at random would fix things.
is what humanity have been doing from the start. If things are running out just kill everybody, take what's theirs and problem solved. No need to use magic.
>kill everybody >the issues don't get fixed and come back >kill more people >the isuees don't get fixed etc. >"constantly living in a paranoid ouroboros lifestyle of self-destruction is good because I think some people are annoying!"
Yeah great plan, edgelord-kun
Humanty also doesnt have the option to have a wishmaker. >shrink half the population >make it so that all species consume solar energy like plants >snap populations into terraformed planets >no i gotta kill half the population
Doubling the resources doesn't fix it because the population would expand to keep up with supply. Halving the population suffers from the same problem. You're a fricking moron Thanos. He also removed half the farmers and half the resources along with them. moronic mfer.
*deletes hunger*
"Ok, everyone good? I know this isnt perfect but it should help a lot." >gee thanks mr thanos!
"Dont thank me kids, youre the real heroes"
That's not an easy solution to visualize using the stones. Eliminating half of all life is much easier to visualize and make reality. Just double the resources? Which resources? It gets fuzzy.
Did the movies even attempt to point out holes in Thanos' plan? You have all these super-geniuses running around, but I don't remember any of them bothering to acknowledge the apparent problem Thanos' intentions are based on, they just immediately jump to punch him on the grounds of "don't make people I like disappear."
I can only think of Captain America reluctantly saying something post-snap about how things really haven't been that bad for the five years where people were gone. Weird how they didn't have Tony "I just invented time travel" Stark make some quip about how short-sighted he thought Thanos was being.
The whole point is there is no easy fix to the universe's problems especially since the universe isn't having all the same fricking problems.
The issues were self-evident and Thanos was a committed madman who'd sunk his soul into this. There's no negotiating with that, it's like trying to talk down a guy building an atom bomb after he's shot up several towns already. It's a terrorist plot, not debate club.
>There's no negotiating with that, it's like trying to talk down a guy building an atom bomb after he's shot up several towns already. It's a terrorist plot, not debate club.
I didn't say anything about negotiating, my point was about simply acknowledging. Are the issues that Thanos built his entire plan around not actually something to be concerned about because his general solution was extreme? Alternatively, are they no longer issues just because Thanos was taken out? Again, it feels like the only real acknowledgement of this by anyone is the the small line Captain America gives in Endgame. Nobody has to debate Thanos, but you would it would bring up a bit of a debate amongst themselves.
It just feels like something that would retain some kind of "echo" in the MCU in following entries. Although admittedly I haven't been closely following a majority of what has come out after Endgame, so maybe it has been brought up again at some point.
Are the issues that Thanos built his entire plan around not actually something to be concerned about because his general solution was extreme?
Yes thats it exactly. Plan A before Plan B.
If you broke your leg and say the local witch doctor says the only cure is amputation of both your legs and arms would you take him seriously?
Frick no and if you say yes you're a damn moron.
>If you broke your leg and say the local witch doctor says the only cure is amputation of both your legs and arms would you take him seriously? >Frick no and if you say yes you're a damn moron.
I don't feel like this works as well when Thanos actively brought some of the Avengers to his planet as a demonstration of the issue he was trying to work against.
Sure, they can disregard Thanos himself due to his solution painting him as a psychopath, but the problem itself still persists. Or are they just going to shrug it off completely simply because they considered Thanos mad? Seems like an odd thing to do when you have several apparent geniuses on the team.
The possibility of you crippling and hurting yourself continues to exist unless you have no limbs. He was doing you a kindness so that in the future those things would never come to pass.
The logic is just as sound as thanos.

Nothing about it is an analogy, it was a rhetorical question made to help illustrate the already-established point.
Because there's really no point, Cap's line about the whales was pure fricking cope trying to get people to look on the brightside of what seemed like a settled situation. His whole fricking job had become grief counseling and there wasn't much upsides in a world that was nothing but loss. There would be no organic character reasons to weigh Thanos' plan. The only reason to have it is so idiots in the crowd feel the obvious flaws were addressed. What the frick is there to debate amongst themselves especially since the underlying point of Thanos is he's projecting the problem that destroyed his world onto the Universe. This whole ordeal is him trying to prove to dead people that it could've worked.
If I was on the clean-up writing team for this franchise, I'd point out that killing half of the people in the universe is a lot easier to mentally conceive while snapping than formulating all the resources they could need as the needs per region would be granular. A herculean, perhaps impossible task given Thanos isn't aware of the entire universe to begin with.
Pseuds pretend this is a debate to be had and not the insane ravings of a mad titan. Cull half the universe or double the resources. Either option is not an answer but merely kicking the problem down the road for someone else to worry about.
>Pseuds pretend this is a debate to be had and not the insane ravings of a mad titan.
Thanos is the ultimate example that humans have not moved on from demagogues.
They just HAVE to believe he's perfectly rational, because he SOUNDS fatherly and shows bare bone forms of reason.
Without a villainous soundtrack and slasher smile, people are lost.
Not even a realistic problem unless you're in... I think a hunter gatherer society. And some early agricultural ones that don't understand chemical balances and all.
But I don't know that it's a topic that works well for a movie's format or time table. Might be interesting as a longer running series or some such where they can properly explain why each thing works or doesn't.
The entire reason this works in universe is because the marvel cinematic universe is canonically set within a simulated universe on an alien computer which starts to increase disasters and generate villains as a resource saving measure once too many minds start inhabit the simulation. So instead of crashing, it just starts making life harder and killing off the population.
I wonder what part about peoples brain blocks them from absorbing media like this and not being able to notice how badly written they are unless pointed out.
Thanos isn't poorly written....well for one movie he isn't poorly written. The issue is morons thinking he's rational and that point out the irrationality of his plan is somehow a plot hole.
There's literally a scene where Gamora confronts him on that bullshit and he just says "Nopenopenope, I'm right"
>double resources instead of wiping out half the world >all resources are consumed >there are also now 4x the amount of people
I am not surprised the afro character is saying "why don dey juss gib mo" but abstract thinking is hard for Marvel fans in general.
Nah, Falcon wouldn’t give you an alternative answer. He’d just tell you to do better.

The actual response to the double resources meme would be to do a what-if where it spawns the cancerverse.
Just make self regenerating resources.
We call those "plants". But too many people still eat them all.
Maintaining a stable population size is a more efficient solution than endless resources.
Humanty also doesnt have the option to have a wishmaker.

The only time Thanos's plan works is when the population realized how much nicer it is to have fewer people and does not replace the lost people.

I wonder what part about peoples brain blocks them from absorbing media like this and not being able to notice how badly written they are unless pointed out.
You know the bell curve and the average IQ? Those people are in the bottom 50%.
Thanos isn't poorly written....well for one movie he isn't poorly written. The issue is morons thinking he's rational and that point out the irrationality of his plan is somehow a plot hole.
There's literally a scene where Gamora confronts him on that bullshit and he just says "Nopenopenope, I'm right"
Destabilize an echo system by doing that could make everything go to shit.
