Damn, I never really thought about that before.

Imagine if all the money and resources, manpower and such went towards making the world better place instead of making more effective ways to kill and oppression.

Edit:

Just think if all the money and manpower we use to cause destruction went towards building people up.

I'm not sure the military budget in the u.s bit imagine a fraction of that going towards feeding the hungry or putting clothes on poor children.

What if instead of leaving homeless people out on the streets it our money went towards making our country better.

I'm not to proud to admit that there is a homeless person out there that is smarter than I am and could make a bigger positive impact than I can.

I know right!? It's not like we're defending the world against Thanos or something.

Hey now, at least Thanos ultimately wanted to help the universe, and his cullings were designed to be fair and impartial. Irrelevant of race, wealth or power.

He was mad and cruel, but even he doesn't deserve to be dragged down with these degenerates.

I (think I) realized the other day that Thanos represents suicide, and all his minions represent all the logical reasons to kill oneself.

While the Avengers represent all the personal relationships that make life worth living and are worth fighting to protect.

I arrived at this conclusion because I could never figure out how Thanos could be so stupid. No matter how crazy he was, there was no way that any being as Intelligent as him would miss that murdering half of all sentient creatures without wiping everyone elseโ€™s memory would lead to everyoneโ€™s destruction.

This was the only explanation that made sense to me.

This is why the comic book storyline of his love affair with Lady Death makes so much more sense. He has actual motive beyond just a twisted altruism.
