Haha, but its indiscriminate, see? It just kills anyone caught in the water. Trust me it'll be good for everything.

aka the poor that doesn't own a big cruise ship

But would Thanos save ~~one man~~ eight people and two of all animals except unicorns?

No, didn’t think so.

We’d have unicorns.

Edit: more than one man but still

[-] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the dinosaurs that were saved but died out anyway because it were only gay couples

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

And chupacabras!

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That's why I call "God" the Tyrant. Mogo is a malevolent alien jerksss.

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That's not what Thanos was doing though?

Thanos' plan was so fucking stupid. He wanted to eliminate half of the population to reduce the lack of resources. This completely ignores how populations grow exponentially and will be back to the original quantity in a generation or two... His plan kills half the population while not actually fixing the resource problem.

Should have just snapped his fingers for unlimited resources. What a dum dum.

[-] bufalo1973@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

In the comics is much more direct: he wants Death to love him so, as a present, he wants to kill half of everything in the universe.

[-] ADTJ@feddit.uk 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Also by destroying half of all life, presumably that includes animals and plants (and therefore food resources).

Doesn't really seem like it solved anything at all

Marvel story is not thoroughly thought through and bad

Color me shocked

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm busy, colour yourself. But you can borrow my crayons, because I'm nice.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

You have too many crayons so I’m taking half of them

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

strategic crayon reserve

[-] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

i guess that explains how T'Challa was just straight up able to talk him out of it in What If. Thanos legitimately just needed someone to explain to him everything wrong with his plan.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Well this is where I think they did get it right. He was blind with power and no one cared to oppose him. If they did, they died.

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

can an apostrophe be racist

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

This was annoying. I love sci-fi so I don't need realism but the writers should at least make some effort for plausibility.

Same with The Matrix (my favorite movie) and their human battery shit that "combined with a form of fusion" solved their energy needs.

[-] JeffreyOrange@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The original idea was that the humans were used as a kind of biological processors. Like a botnet but with humans. That idea is so much better, but studio execs shot it down because "people wouldn't understand".

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't know why but for some reason the Thanos one bugs me more, it feels more fundamentally wrong. Like I understand the flaws with the matrix, I went electrical engineering to software development, but to me I'm still willing to accept some wand wavy bullshit about how they need to harvest humans for power, more than I am that a population won't double immediately. Like the biology of consciousness and brains and electricity have a lot more room for complex weirdness than the weeds in my walkway always immediately regrowing.

[-] bufalo1973@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The original script of The Matrix didn't day that. The original purpose was to use human minds as computers to fight other humans. Butt if you think about it, Morpheus though he was living in the real world.

[-] egonallanon@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Even just halving a population of a speices isn't actually all that much in cases where they aren't already threatened. In humanity's case it would drive set our population levels all the way back to the distant and barbaric times of the 1970s.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Back in the 1970s when we believed there’d be mass starvation by 2000

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Thanos is exactly what you get when you combine infinite power with a mediocre imagination.

[-] SpaceXplorer_8042@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Fucking hell I never though of that 5 years ago

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

50% dead is progress!

eliminate yourself.

[-] Lepsea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Fun fact, in this ship Sun zoo gathers 2 of each animal and beat the crap out of every single one of them and that's why anytime a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a zoo!

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Unless it's a farm!

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Does this scenario remind anyone of a contemporary political situation happening somewhere?
