Thanos believed eliminating half of all life would solve the universe’s resource problem, but his plan has a massive flaw. He treated scarcity as if it were a permanent condition that could only be solved by removing people. With the Infinity Stones, he possessed the power to reshape reality itself. He could have expanded resources, restored damaged ecosystems, or changed the conditions that created scarcity in the first place. Instead, he chose mass extermination. That is what makes Thanos interesting as a villain. His problem was not a lack of power or imagination. It was that he became so committed to his own conclusion that he stopped considering any other solution.
