Why didn't Thanos just use the reality stone to turn the Avengers into ash?
Why didn't Thanos just use the reality stone to turn the Avengers into ash?
The scene where he confronts the Guardians kind of establishes that the Reality Stone's effects are limited and temporary, things turn back to normal when he leaves. Which isn't how it should work, but it's how it's shown to work
On a related note, his reasoning in Endgame for why he has to destroy the entire universe and start over
so that no one remembers what came before and resists his plan
is retarded considering the stones include the MIND and SOUL stones and with control over those things you could do a memory-altering snap
why did he care about saving galaxy in the first place
the power of the stones by themselves are really downplayed in the movies, they only seem to have value when all put together and when all put together the best you can do is either snap half the universe away or back
Because his beloved home world was destroyed by overpopulated and over-consumption, and he doesn't want to see the same thing eventually happen everywhere else
Thanos was really asshurt that his fellow Titans shunned him and died out, made him want to start halving all the things
childhood is when you idolize the avengers, adulthood is when you realize thanos makes more sense.
so the avengers are the bad guys?
why didn't he just kill everybody? or not even bother at all. the population of earth doubled between 1959 and 1999.
wasnt his planet destroyed by big guys from gotg
Because he wanted the notoriety of being the guy who killed half the Universe. His speech at Stark "I hope they remember you". is Thanos projecting his own Ego at Tony.
He's a madman who wants to be immortalized in Universal History as the one who taught everyone their lesson.
He was fair. He just wanted to use the stones for his plan. Using all of them almost killed him. Using each one individually must take its toll
And when I say he was fair, it's already shown: when Dr Strange gives the time stone in exchange for Thanos not killing Tony, he accepts and he leaves him alive. He could have killed him right then and there
During the Wakanda fight he didn't kill anyone other than Vision (because he needed to)
It's a movie for kids
No, in the movies his planet was destroyed by overpopulation and resource depletion.
In the comics it's not a planet, it's Titan as in Saturn's moon right here in our solar system, and Thanos personally destroyed it for fun basically, just because he likes death and considered the rest of his race to have been inferior.
This. In the movies he's the Mad, Evil Environmentalist. In the comics he's the Trolling Simp for Lady Death.
No, its deeper than that. His people failed while everyone else is thriving. The "I'm trying to save you" thing is bullshit. He wants everyone else to suffer as much as his people did
Yes. In the comics, combining all the stones basically makes you omnipotent. Anything you want can be done. Permanently. I guess that's hard to conceive/visualize in film and also to make a compelling story since big T could just rewrite everything, instantly, to whatever he wanted.
In the comics he's the Trolling Simp for Lady Death.
No my Thanos
Thanos is basically the boss from that dilbert comic about firing the bottom 10% of workers, ie an idiot
This is the better written Thanos who doesn't hate them as much
I think a better question is why the Avengers have to cheat instead of fighting one-on-one.
cheat
How?
And many of them do fight Thanos one on one and lose.
It's a flaw in Infinity War how the Wakanda group didn't bother to come up with a good coordinated plan for how to fight Thanos if he showed up there, while the Titan group did that and almost beat him
The guy with "Fair Play" on his jacket is on the Justice League, not the Avengers.
things turn back to normal when he leaves
he turned things back to normal before he left
And many of them do fight Thanos one on one and lose.
Which is why they have to cheat. You're one of those people who think election fraud is fair.
why didn’t he double the available resources instead of halving the population?
He's an Evil Dickhead and troll is why.
Populations grow exponentially. If he doubled what was available, they'd consumed things in half the time.
ok then increase resources exponentially
Genie grants double resources
Every planet immediately flooded, scorched by the sun, and consumed by plants.
Or just take out the population, the root cause of the issue.
ok then he can make all living organisms survive without consuming resources. Or he could make all resources non depletable
The actual answer is to halve sentient fertility throughout the Universe, which is essentially what is happening now in 1st world nations.
Or really just expose them to immersive vidya gaems and tranime and let nature take it's course.
isn’t halving the population retarded also? in a few years we are back to the initial problem
Depends on who you take out.
Maybe that would be too complex of a task given the gauntlet's limited uses and the physical toll the snap takes on you.
While "erase half of all beings" is a relatively simple command
They fumbled the ball hard with him not simping for Death in the movies. They could have modified it so he was simping for Hela "The Godess of Death". But then again they also fumbled Hulk, he wouldnt have been a scared bitch after getting knocked out by Thanos. He would have been mad as hell and looking for a rematch.
Then he's just a one-dimensional, more powerful version of the villain in Dr. Strange, who's simping for Dormammu. Or Ultron who instead wants to kill all sentients, not just humans.
Or every genocidal DC movie villain from the last 20 years.
because thanos is a gay retarded faggot
What do you mean "cheat" ?
You guys don't get it. He wasn't just trying to solve the problem of resource consumption, he wanted to *punish* life for it's lack of foresight & self control, the same lack of foresight & self control that killed off the other Titans. It's about teaching those stupid kids a lesson.
no one explained anything to the survivors so they have no idea why it happened
I think he was sort of chaotic good in IW and willing to give them a fighting chance or something. As long as he can help it he wants the snap to be the judge

Got it — you want afunny, insightfulcomic,Sunday Dilbert size(bigger, like 6–9 panels), withThanosacting like thepointy-haired boss.
Here’s aconcept/scriptfor you:
Title:"INFINITY CORPORATE"
Panel 1:
(Office cubicles. Thanos stands behind Dilbert's desk, wearing a badly fitting business suit over his armor. He’s holding a coffee mug that says "World's #1 Manager.")
Thanos:"Dilbert, I've decided torestructurethe company..."
(Dilbert looks wary.)
Panel 2:
Thanos:"...using the Infinity Stones for optimal synergy!"
(He proudly shows the Infinity Gauntlet, now bedazzled with corporate buzzword stickers: 'Agility', 'Innovation', 'Synergy', 'Optimization', 'Engagement', 'Scalability'.)
Panel 3:
Dilbert (deadpan):"You're planning to vaporize half of us, aren't you?"
Thanos (beaming):"Correction:Half of every team! We value balance."
Panel 4:
(Wally peeks over his cubicle wall, coffee in hand.)
Wally:"Will it be based on merit?"
Thanos:"Of course not. That would hurt morale!"
Panel 5 (Final Panel):
(Outside the office. Half the building has literally vanished into cosmic dust. Thanos stands proudly in front of a whiteboard that reads "Q2 Goals: Half the Costs, Double the Synergy.")
Caption:"Another successful leadership initiative."
thanos was characterized as honorable
stones felt powerful in infinity war
end game is a dogshit movie
He wanted to be proven right as much as he wanted for things to get better. Presumably he formed his hypothesis before he even knew about the stones and everyone was calling him crazy for it.
If a godlike being wiped half the population the fuck out I doubt they would be quick about going back to the way things were which triggered that being's wrath in the first place
The Avengers explained it to them
so powerful he can wipe out half the universe
still wont say the n-word
so am I more powerful than thanos?
The Avengers explained it to the whole universe? The Snap didnt only affect Earth
he respects them and wants to teach them moral lessons about why they are losing/undeserving of the infinity gems. This is what makes him a layered nuanced villain, whereas youre supposing there should be no story and he insta kills everyone like the people who suppose he should institute a galaxy spanning perfect economy to solve all labor and socioeconomic issues because killing half of life is unpractical and unrealistic, but this too is baked into his psyche and complex of wanting to be seen as a God or father for all of reality. So I hope that answers your question, im a little concerned at how stupid people are becoming when a superhero villain is too complex for you.
No he falls for death after being defeated by Captain Marvel (the man not Carol) and several run ins with omnipotence via the cosmic cube and other macguffins. You only saw some shit on youtube talking about the comcis and now think youre some hot shit.
He falls for death after he is revived and has a "near death experience" where he realizes how powerful she is. Since he has to 'die' for this realization to happen, it logically follows he cant be 'into death' in his first movie appearance where he needs to be killed for that to happen. You havent actually read any thanos material youre talking out your ass basically. Its like asking why doesnt spiderman have the black suit in his first movie hurr durr. Because it happens later, so a spiderman needs to exist and be established prior.
DUDE WHAT IF WE JUST MADE THE PROBLEM TWICE AS BAD LMAO
Don't be daft. The story is earth-centric so the majority of Avengers members would have explained it there. Then there's GotG, Thor and Captain Marvel who are intergalactic. And there's also Thanos' armada. News would have spread. And because you're so fucking stupid I will elaborate a bit more and say that said news would spread with broadcast communications and whatever else they have. They would visit each planet one at a time like they were selling vacuum cleaners.
that reminds me on an unrelated note I thought Endgame would have been awesome if Thanos was expecting retaliation when we find him on a farm making stew instead of getting blindsided like a retard, the movie pretty much goes downhill from there imho. If it was a marvel comic that would be the plot, Avengers in space vs Thanos, off their home turf out of their element and outgunned, but nooooo....
They could have modified it
Do you know what modified it means? There are a number of things in the movies that arent "exactly" like they are in the comics. For example, in his quest for the stones he could have encountered Hela, and she nearly kills him. That then kicks off his simping.
this is the only vs scaling i want to see on this site
Because he needed to kill a lot to court lady Death
Wrong again because youre unfamiliar with the source material so you have to make shit up. The movie is actually a combination of Thanos appearences from the Silver Surfer 90s run, the Infinity Gauntlet arc, and Hickman's 'Infinity' storyline. The henchmen from the start of infinity war are literally pulled directly from Hickman's event, it is a proper adaptation of Thanos greatest hits while serving as an origin for him. What you are proposing is stupid because it would eliminate any meaningful nuance to his relationship with death just because you think it would be cool.
"infinity" stones
are actually limited
because hes not a redditor who echoes every idea he hears from essayists and grifters
You really need to put this argument to bed. The courting death thing really isn't as interesting you're making it out to be and you keep forcing it down everyone's throats
It instantly closes the plot hole. Deal with it
There isn't any plot hole. Death isn't a character in the movies and Hela was already dead. STFU already
Kinda fucked (or heckin based and redpilled) thor nuked his homeworld and got everyone killed when if he had submitted to hela she wouldve just killed thanos when he eventually arrived
they also fumbled Hulk, he wouldnt have been a scared bitch after getting knocked out by Thanos. He would have been mad as hell and looking for a rematch.
They cut a lot of the hulk stuff because they didn't have room for it in the already too busy movement. The hulk was sulking because he only gets called out to solve problems and he was tired of it. Like banner never brings the hulk out for never ending pancakes at ihop, and I bet the hulk would love a big stack of flapjacks drenched in maple syrup.
It isn't a plot hole. Thanos wants to kill half of the universe because he's a crazy monomaniacal immortal titan who has been trying to prove his theory right for thousands of years.
Even if he never got the stones his plan was to do the same thing but by conquering every world one at a time. He wasn't really interested in other applications of the stones or the gauntlets besides snapping half of the people out of the universe, which is why he destroyed it shortly after he achieved his goal.
He also believes that might makes right, and if his plan wasn't the right one, someone would be able to stop him.
I think the real problem is that in endgame thanos from the past finds out his plan doesn't work and the heroes are going to try and undo it quickly shifts gears into wanting to remake the universe.
Bringing thanos back, but having him basically be a different character just felt like a weird choice for endgame, but what else do you do, I guess.
