People keep saying Thanos' plan was really flawed. But that's the point. That's what makes him a villain. If it was the perfect plan, nobody would be against him and there'd be no movie.

I'm not super into the comics but was there ever a chance that he himself would have been killed from the snap too or was he immune?

I think the gloves protected him from it. Or maybe he said half of life, except him...

In the comics he's literally an omniscient god when he has all six Infinity Gems. When he snaps and makes half the universe go away, he's essentially actively choosing every single person who stays and every single person who goes on some conscious level.

The movie implies he's not that powerful, and the Gauntlet itself is more of a tool of infinite power rather than something that makes the wearer themselves a god. So he probably deliberately specifies half the universe that isn't him, but it's mostly random choice. Though it's possible that he could be just as much in control of who stays and who goes as he was in the comics, and in that split-second moment he's essentially aware of everyone and everything in the entire universe and can pick and choose in an instant.

Either way, the likelihood that he would have been one of the ones who vanish is pretty much zero.


I think in a way it would've been better if he acknowledged he could die because of it too, but to achieve his ultimate goal he did it anyway as the ends were more important than the means to him.
