I don't wanna sound like an idiot, but wouldn't Thanos have been smarter if he had decided to just wipe out half the DOMINATING species on the planet which was wasting resources instead of the other organisms which were not harming the ecosystem?

Again again again- because unless he’s going to repeat the snap every few decades he’s achieved nothing.

He clearly thought he had achieved what he set out to do, because he destroyed the stones. So very short term, yes, goal achieved. Mid to long term, absolute failure.

But yeah, odd that he felt the need to wipe out birds and fish too. That was a weird flex.

Surely wiping out half of intelligent life And other animals would just put them back where they started. Yes, they would have a smaller population to feed, but there would be a smaller food source too.

Both of those plans are insufficient and short sighted, for reasons already stated. They're the products of minds obsessed with their own egos and closed to any outside opinions and considerations.

They both have done much wrong.

Both the villains are wrong with their ideologies

Everything must be left to nature alone, and they haven't got the rights the alter nature's plan

Thanos simply wanted to impress Lady Death, so his plan ultimately becomes a personal matter for him

Humans already mess with nature enough

You got that right abf. I don't understand this trend with electric cars. You still need effing cobalt mining and shit for the batteries.

Thats a good point but thats far from being one of the top pollution concerns rn. It definitely is one form of pollution though. The emissions of several gasses leads to ocean acidification, acid deposition, obviously unsafe air, ground level ozone and smog, especially in China, and ofc all of this is killing marine and plant life. Not to mention that its speeding up global warming and at this point we have basically lost control of it already. Then there's also ozone depletion but that problem has been recognized at least but without the ozone layer there are severe impacts on humans. The smog I mentioned earlier is as damaging as smoking and worse in some places. Other places have chemical waste leak into groundwater sources. And then ofc theres hunting, poaching, and solid pollution bring dumped into he ocean.

And after all of this thetes still people who deny climate change or want to burn any source of fuel possible even if its going to harm the environment.

@DarkDemon2099 Well that's the goal of Thanos in the comics, not the MCU

The Lady Death arc was mentioned in the post-credits scene of The Avengers (2012) where Thanos' personal servant, known as The Other says - "To challenge them is to court death", at which Thanos smiles and reveals himself

But it's not canon, so yeah his main intention might not be impressing Lady Death in the MCU
