There are a bunch of different versions of Thanos in the comics. This version was whatever Marvel thought would put butts in seats. The rationale is that he survived a famine and his dumb little brain thought the best way to help others avoid famine was to disappear a bunch of them randomly lol. He didn’t even make all superheroes that wanted to kill him disappear. Total idiot.
Yeah, I like the version where he has a crush on Death and wants to impress her by killing half the people in the universe.
But I think they wanted to set up an infinity war where he deserved to win, which IMO he absolutely did. I was disliking it the first time I watched because I expected it to do the typical hero movie thing where the heroes pull off a win even after fumbling things as hard as they did in infinity war, but then he did the snap. Advantage of not paying attention to their plans, as I wasn’t aware that there was going to be a second part until I saw how that ended, so it was a surprise.
But all he really did was turn back the doom clock by one doubling period. You can’t stop exponential growth with a single cull, unless that cull is pretty much 100% (or leaves the remnants so scattered they age out of reproduction age before uniting).
Never really understood why Thanos thought this action would provoke much change besides killing a shit ton of life.

Yeah I suppose I shouldn’t take comic books or their movies too rationally. I’ll turn my brain off and enjoy it for what it is.
