He has a reality stone. Why not use it to make a reality what he wants it to be?

Probably this. It looked pretty rough in the last scene.

Also probably he doesn't care anymore. He did his job, he saved the universe, and now he'll relax. Nothing else matters.

Because he is mad. How do you have all the power in the universe and you believe the only way to save the universe with that power is to kill off half of it?

I thought the reality stone was only effective on a local level. At least thats what was shown in the film.

Thanos is a pure utilitarianism. Commit genocide so that people can thrive.

With all the stones though it probably works on a universal level

Maybe. Have to wait until the next movie to see if they elaborate.

In Thor 2, Malekith almost used the Reality stone to remake the 9 Worlds. The stone can affect a much larger area than Thanos apparently believes is possible.

not mad. just determined.

this all stems from his original solution(fair, balanced blabla genocide) which he apparently calls his destiny.

hard to change what you think is your destiny even with all the power in the universe, moreso after murdering your own "daughter".

I don't understand how he thinks this. It's a temporary solution at best. In 50 years we're going to have the same problem.

And then he kills half the population again.

Where does it even hint he can do this? Why does everyone assume he's omnipotent when it's shown the opposite.

How do you know? He did it once with Gamora's planet and claims it to now be a paradise. Maybe it only has to happen once. We don't know, it's not our plan.

Obviously

What I'm saying is....at one point, before THanos...3 of the 6 stones were on Earth. All these planets in the universe, and half of these powerful stones just happened to be on Earth at one point?

makes sense since earth is the origin of the MCU so obviously it's the most important planet in the universe.

xd.

but anyways was loki's scepter with the mind stone part of this equation? because that was obviously given to him by thanos which loki in turn brought to earth.

Yeah Iunno where Thanos got the mind stone but I think he figured he could gamble it and get both it and the space stone back

The Tesserect was on earth
Mind Stone was with Thanks
Time Stone is protected on earth.
Soul Stone was on an abandoned planet
As was the power stone.
Reality stone was buried, not on earth.

That's 2 stones.

I'm not saying they were found on Earth.

Hence Farmer Thanos. Nothing says he can't snap again when he feels shit is getting out of control. He's just chilling and farming for now.

I get where you're coming from, but outside the Time Stone, there was a reason they were on Earth, and those are right now directly related to the Avengers.

Odin found the Space Stone elsewhere in the Nine Realms and hid it on Earth purposely because at the time it was a backwater

His motives were super flawed, he really just wanted to kill at least half of the beings in the universe, and that's it.

You figure, he had already waged wars for at least decades where he would eliminate half the population of various planets through traditional warfare. Do you think he left those groups out of his 50/50 execution? Nope, just purged them in half again.

And did he take in to account sentient beings who had taken efforts to reduce their consumption of goods? Maybe long-lived races who already moderated their breeding and used minimal resources to live? Nope, 50/50 for everyone.

He was simply a mass-murderer and that's all he ever wanted to be. Couldn't he have used the magic glove to make resources more bountiful, or reduce the amount of resources all advanced beings needed to exist? But his solution was just eliminating half of the sentient beings in the universe.

Marvel has generally had problems with weak villains in the MCU, with a few exceptions, but Thanos was certainly one of the weaker ones.
