Absolutely not. Thanos is the least understandable any villain has ever been to me. If a planet barely had enough people to survive? Halve the population. If the planet has 4x the ideal number of people? Halve the population. Neither group knows why this thing happened to them. The first dies out, the second is back to the same level in two generations. Everyone is miserable.
Even ten minutes of half-hearted contemplation will give you dozens of better alternatives. He literally had infinite power. Why not make every being in the universe aware of the overpopulation and willing to act on it? At the very least he could tell the survivors why he did it so they can change their behavior.
His behavior makes no sense. He should have thought of a better plan in the time it took to find the stones.
I like the comic version more tbh, where he has a crush on Death and just wants to impress her by killing a ton of people. Probably would have made for a worse movie but I find that a more relatable reason lol
In the comics, he was trying to fuck Death.
She was not impressed.
