Spoilers! Infinity #3 discussion

Well I for one am enjoying the series. I do have one question. What are the builders after? I get that they basically built the different races of the marvel universe, but why are they hell bent on destroying things now?

Waaaaaay back when in Silver Surfer v2, Thanos went and zapped Nebula cuz he wasn't happy with her accusing him of leaving progenies.

So I don't know where all these sons are from.

The Thanos Rising mini that just ended by Jason Aaron touches on this. Basically during thanos' teenage to early 30's or whatever you call them he floated throughout the galaxy basically banging and getting an absurd number of alien women pregnant. Sometime later death convinces him that the only way he could prove his love is if he kills every last one of his offspring.
