Honestly Thanos could have solved 'overpopulation' without even the magic wanking glove. Access to education, healthcare and egalitarian policies distributing wealth all lower birth rates and waste. He coulda just scoured the galaxy and supported every single burgeoning but beleagered socialist or protosocialist state with a spaceship that massively outguns anything even modern tech today could throw at it.
He could have just doubled the amount of resources!
Of course the whole thing is ridiculous because with even a cursory understanding of ecology you'd know that populations will grow until they reach the carrying capacity of their environment.
The cowards should have stuck with Thanos being in love with Death.
Did they ever mention why they changed it? Literally no point in cramming in Malthusian eco-fascism in place of a completely serviceable plot, unless the bazingas at Marvel had a private boner for it. They could have even had the spoopy sexy skeleton lady for extra sex-appeal.
I read a couple of sci-fi stories where Earth had colonized a bunch of planets in the full misery of colonialism tradition. Earth kept vastly better technology for itself and every so often "Gamers" from Earth would remote-control super powerful bodies on other planets and go on a rampage of murder, sexual violence, and terror basically playing CoD but in real life in the middle of real cities. It was so incredibly disturbing it kind of ruined some otherwise great Sci-Fi stories.
Okay look I hate running marvel defense as much as the next person but I'm not going to do the Cinema Sins and pretend like this is a plot hole. The reason he didn't use the gloves to make more planets, or resources, or invest in education or whatever is because he's been a tyrant fascist general for a long time and he wants to kill a bunch of people. It's the most believable part.
Yeah his death crush is cute, good on you guy, bone those bones.
Yeah the chuds took his plan and loved it and it's because they always do, "I can fix this situation if you let me kill enough people" is classic fascism.
This is how End Game should have ended have ended if the writers weren't cowards. Thanos does the snap and gives his mushy love speech to Death, but she's like visibly skeeved out and is like "Uh, that's sweet, but I actually have a date right now..."
And then Deadpool rolls up on a moped and is like "Hey babe let's go! I got tickets to Cats and we're gonna be late!"
