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. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is the premise of the Leftovers. I haven't watched that yet but isn't that only 3%? 50% would be catastrophic in comparison. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

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. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ...

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. --- The most relaxing version of Aquatic Ambiance I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl61y1XM7sM ...

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.

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. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

He went out of his way to say "I'll only leave half". 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."

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.

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. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

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

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).

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. --- Boom! That's right, this is all happening!
