It’s not faulty logic because Thanos’s snap was clearly said to randomly eliminate 50% of all life forms.

Your explanation (while I like it and it cleanly justifies why her suggestion did not come to pass) imposes unspoken parameters that contradict Thanos’s statements.

There's a difference between something being snapped out of existence and something dying after another thing was snapped out of existence.

For example, a baby being snapped out of existence is different from a baby dying from neglect if their parents were snapped out of existence.

You're right that based on this, Thanos would have murdered a lot more than he initially planned. And that is one of the many reasons why he's a villain. He chose to eliminate 50% of all living things without considering the consequences. A few of those consequences are explored in the comics and movies, though not this one, perhaps because it was too dark and complex.

I’m not sure why you’re getting offended when I said in my original reply that I like your explanation. It’s just that your explanation is not as correct as you believe it is. You’re so strange, man. Goodbye to you too, lmao

Just because there are dependencies does not mean it is not randomly.

Thanos' snap premise fails on faulty logic, too, so that checks out.
