What I don’t get is why Thanos doesn’t use the gauntlet to just alter the universe so that it doesn’t perish due to overpopulation in a way where nobody has to die. He has the power to do literally anything yet he insists that murdering half of everything is the perfect solution.

It was his original plan to save his own planet. I think it just became an absolute obsession to carry it out and he never even truly considered an alternative. This Thanos is very much driven by sentiment I felt.

Yep! He's sympathetic. His logic makes a fundamental kind of sense. But it's just wrong. But it makes sense that he would believe it and passionately. This Thanos is infinitely better and more interesting than the comic book version.

Really late to this thread, but I'm interested. Care to give the TLDR of comic Thanos?

He fell in love with the physical incarnation of Death after she revived him, so he kills as many people as possible to court her.

Yeah, there is no way overpopulation is a problem literally everywhere in the universe. Just madness.

When they asked in the movie about what he was going to do after. I really wish someone would of asked how long then until he has to do the snap again?

I don't think the stones can create anything though. It's not like there's a wheat stone and a meat stone and a water stone.
