    There's also how even with the gauntlet. His plan makes no gosh darn sense. Ok his whole deal is about there being a problem with resources. Alright that's something I can get behind. But then he jumps to wiping out half the population of the universe. Umm. How does that solve anything?

    What about planets and places where there are an over abundance of resources?

    What about places where there is a small population and culling half the number dooms the populous to extinction?

    What's the exact number that's sustainable but not threatening?

    What about places where they are stable, which means that they get back to a high population again. Are you gonna wipe them out again?

    The problem is compounded by him saying that when he gets rid of half the universe he'd stop. Umm No, if you believe in your heart of hearts that this is the way to keep the universe safe and you're willing to kill untold trillions to do it. You'd also know that the only way something like this works is if it's a repeatable cycle. You'd have to do a constant culling of the universal population for it to make any lick of sense. Not only that you'd need to take a census to see that the population hasn't gone past your arbitrary. 1/2

    Why Half and not 1/4 or 2/3? Why? Because that's what they did in the comics, but the problem is they took the comic action but with a motivation that doesn't match it.
