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”
