More than half of the population would have died.

What about planes were both pilots got dusted (and space ships). Even being on a highway at that time would have been pretty damn dangerous. A baby starving to death because his parents dusted away.

You could probably make a few movies solely about the repercussions over experiencing something like that. It would be ridiculously dark.

I know the movies will skip over it but still.

I haven't watched that yet but isn't that only 3%?

50% would be catastrophic in comparison.

50% of the universe. It's possible that 50% (or more) of earth would have disappeared or less. Still shows a decent impact in the show though.

Thanos was initially planning to wipe Earth. Tony's courage and bravery legit impressed Thanos enough where he changed his mind. He'll only wipe half of it.

Thinking about it couldn't that potentially mean entire planets and species could be wiped out through random chance?

That's literally not it at all. Half is what he determined was necessary to maintain balance.

Yeah it seems non discriminatory at least. I don't think he took 50% of every planet's population individually. I could be wrong though.

I think his plan would have made more sense if he hit each species/planet individually with 50%. Otherwise some places would be barely affected and others would be completely destroyed.

Then again it's not like this solution is that well thought out to begin with.

Then why would he tell him this? It's more likely that he didn't care enough for Earth until he saw how hard Tony tried. It would mean some others would get wiped elsewhere but Tony indirectly gave everyone a chance.

I don't think it was literally half of everything, just half of all the disruptive species. Like he'd kill half of humans but not half of lions.

I don't know what you think he told Tony but it was never "I was going to kill everyone but you changed my mind"

He went out of his way to say "I'll only leave half". Hell, he wanted him to be remembered. There is no logical reason to tell him that if he was always going to do that. Thanos did not strike me as that kind of person.

that's how he did it when he conquered the old fashioned way. I see no reason to believe he'd change his MO.

Yeah I don't think he meant animals. But there's a shitload of different aliens out there in different situations that we see in GOTG. How were they hit?

There can't be many Asgardians left for example. If everyone had an equal chance there's a high chance they'd be completely wiped out.

I guess we weren't meant to think about it that much lol.

he already killed half of the Asgardians
so either the snap didn't do anything to them or there's only 1/4 of them left

I never had the assumption that he intended to completely wipe out anyone. He doesn't think he's evil. Wiping out humanity seems to contradict that belief no?

He was reassuring him. Tony already knew that Thanos was only going to kill half the population (or at least the audience did). Thanos was just saying, "Don't worry bro, there will still be half of humanity left to remember you." He wasn't changing his mind for Tony or anything.

The point was he was culling population to keep them in balance with nature. Culling half of nature seems counterproductive.

In wakanda not a single plant died (except Groot), but lots of people did. Half of every living thing is an abstract.

Wait how many Groots are there? If he's the only one of his kind he shouldn't have been dusted if it was 50% of each race.

Unless it's decided by planet but I think more than half of the people on Titan got dusted so it's not that either.

Yeah I was thinking about this today at a friend's kid's birthday party.

Like just imagine being parents and playing with your infant child and that child literally disintegrates into ashes in your hands.

Hopefully you wouldn't have to deal with it much because an airplane now being without pilots would land on your house.

That's another good reason to believe that it's 50% of all life in the universe. Like, why would Drax go? Isn't his whole race gone?

Does anyone think its a good idea? I do.

Though id hope it wipes my entire family or none. Stinks losing half your family. Emotionally attached n all. Aside from that. Solid plan.

Interestingly, if half of the people on this planet disappeared, the global population would be just slightly less than it was when I was born (1970s, about 4 billion).

With his statement, it implies that he has some control over who dies or not. Maybe not down to the individual, but some control. At first, Earth was beneath him. Now that he sees what an Earthling is capable of, he'll show "mercy" and allow half to remain.

I don't think he meant it like that. He was already aware of Tony (and respected him) before they fought.

His statement was basically "When half of humanity is gone, I hope the remaining half remember you" His plan was never to wipe out all of earth and you were not paying attention if you thought it was. His plan was always to erase half of the universe's population at random

Gamora says when he would conquer planets, he'd kill half their population. there's no hint that he cares whether that's 100 thousand or 100 billion. There's also no real reason to doubt he only cares about civilizations (or, at most, sapient species).

I have little doubt it was half of each sapient species, no matter where they happened to be in the universe. my only question is if he spared those species he had already culled.

I also have little doubt it's not actually important to the story, and if it gets an answer, it would be by Word of God, not in dialogue.
