Thanos, the Great Liar

Say, Thanos, I recall you telling your adopted space daughter (who you routinely abused, by the way) that her home planet of Zehoberei was now thriving because you killed half its population – including her birth mother – because ‘balance was restored’.

Do you know what I think about that?

I think it’s nothing more than a

BIG

FAT

LIE!!!

So apparently her planet prospered to the point everyone spontaneously died? Troll-logic yourself out of that one, you insane oversized prune.

Welll… TECHNICALLY he would point out that

  • No one is starving on that world
  • The crime rate is reduced to zero
  • The economy is very stable.
  • Pollution is no longer a problem.

It’s all in the spin….

In some biological experiments with flour beetles, they studied chaos in populations, by placing the beetles in an environment where all their needs were met in a finite environment, and after a certain point they would remove a percentage of adults (because larvae and pupae were slightly harder to collect) to simulate a mass die off, and from around fifty percent in some cases and up in a few studies caused massive uncontrolled population growth, or massive uncontrolled population decline causing the beetle cultures to collapse.

 It’s very likely that Gamora’s people suffered a massive population crash after Thanos “Saved the Planet”, and now that he’s had the infinity gauntlet and won, you can expect the rest of the universe to follow suit in to chaos, either extreme population growth in some places, and massive death and huge power imbalances in others.

Thanos did not save the universe, he made it worse.

Here’s a source, but you can find many more articles like this on Google Scholar if you enter in “Flour Beetle chaos population dynamics” or “bifurcation analysis of beetle dynamics”

best lines from infinity war (spoiler-free)

  • “you’re embarrassing me in front of the wizards”
  • “he looks like a pirate…had a baby with an angel”
  • “i don’t want another pop culture reference out of you for the rest of the trip”
  • “why is gamora”
  • “kick names, take ass”
  • “we didn’t think of that” “i’m sure you tried your best”
  • “it will kill you” “only if i die” “…yes, that’s what ‘kill you’ means”
  • “i am steve rogers”

Everyone jokes about Thor losing everything in a span of like two days but it is honestly so heartbreaking.

He lost his mother, his father, he had to kill his sister, he tried to save all his people but mostly all of them died anyway, he lost his best friend, and then he only had Loki left but he was also taken away from him.

He chooses to believe Loki’s death is just another one of his practical jokes.

His “I don’t have anything to lose” line really hit me hard. He has truly lost everything.

Just to add onto this, he literally became suicidal, he didn’t care wether he lived or died holding the entrance for the star open.

His whole talk to Rocket about how everyone he loves is dead was heartbreaking, especially when he wiped his tears away.

I’m glad Marvel has done a good job at letting him show emotion.

no matter how u personally feel about infinity war, you have to agree that thor’s arrival in wakanda is just about the sexiest piece of cinematography ever. i literally will never get over the sheer level of badassery and style with which he Did That. loki would’ve been so proud
