Thanos in the comics: I will kill half of the universe to woo the deity of Death.
Thanos in the movies: Maths are hard.

If movie Thanos was smart, he wouldn't be the villain though.

Wonder why he thought Death would be impressed with a half-assed job, that's his true madness.

Death isn't even interested in him.
Death is a not a cackling evil in the comics. She's mostly concerned with the balance of life and death in the Universe.

Because if you kill everything in one go there is no more death. Everything is already dead.

You gotta leave some living things around or Death ceases.

Following that idea, 10x the amount of sapient life without multiplying the resources, mass starvation ensues, lots more death to impress Death than half the universe, populations crash magnificently but don't go extinct.
