What would have happened if they took him to Earth to stand trial?
>>222309256He's not human. It'd be the equivalent of doing a trial for a dog.
several years of bureaucracy
On what charges?
>>222309274If a dog had a moral capacity and chose to try and annihilate half of life and could talk and fight and snap his paws, why wouldn’t it stand trial?
>>222309274his eyes have more soul than yours
>>222309256Gotten off on a procedural error
>>222309290homosexual charges
>>222309290That's the thing about it, no real charges are needed. They call it extraterrestrial rendition.
>>222309290disordely conduct
>>222309326>FINEST ADULT READING
You could argue Captain Marvel would want to take him to some cosmic judiciary committee, but he technically committed the crime on Earth, so
There’s no law that says you can’t snap your fingers while wearing a gaudy space glove
>>222309256isn't his wish just kicking the can down the road? in 100 years nobody's going to give a shit about half the universe dying
No solid physical evidence he did itOnly one witness (Thor) The supposed murder weapon (the stones) is gone A group of people say he did it but that doesn't hold up in a court of lawThe Avengers jumped and maimed a disabled farmer and tried to pin the crime on him, I say they're the real villains
If snapping your fingers while wearing a single glove encrusted with gems is a crime, then lock up Michael Jackson.
>>222309397Valid, but it’s not like Thanos wouldn’t proudly admit he did it and go on a diatribe about how it was the righteous path and everyone should be grateful, etc
>>222309395Yes, it doesn't make a lot of sense. As many people have pointed out, it would be more sustainable and presumably take less energy to use the magic wishes to grow more food. The new Spider-Man movie makes this question into a self-referential joke, but acknowledging that it's shit writing doesn't change the fact that it's shit writing, Marvel.
>>222309460If he was smart he'd just plead the 5th and demand a lawyer, avengers BTFO
>Can’t prove he did it>Weapon was destroyed >“Space magic did it” lol okay>arrested and assaulted by vigilantes, some of whom are wanted felons>jurisdictional conundrums>federal or state charges?>hate crime additions for all the dead Jews?>issue of restitution
>>222309473Thanos is a scientist, so I have to assume he juggled the different variables. He probably considered people’s nature and the humility it might serve to erase half of life rather than give everyone more shit. Like, a bunch of food showing up isn’t going to stop a tyrannical classist ruler from continuing to starve a large percent of his population, but if you just annihilate random people, it is pants shittingly scary and can also nudge people into different moral clarities.
>>222309256how come the only time I see Thanos, I have to stop myself from laughing. Is it the fact that its just a big purple Orc with Brolin's dumb face scanned in. He looked way better in the first teaser when it was just a fully CGI character.
As far as actual, probable charges, what do ya got?>assault and battery by mutual combat>illegally parking his ship>no flight plan filed>owes import duties for the stones and glove
>>222309381Does Marvel have anything equivalent to the green lanterns? Maybe it's all seperate systems over different regions of space
>>222309395Well the source material motivation is that he wanted to impress the grim reaper, I don't see why they needed to change it
>>222309407
>>222309737Living Tribunal is supposed to “judge” larger cosmic issues.
>>222309477wouldnt work because thanos doesnt have tony stark's power>money
>>222309755possibly because this premise is even dumber
>>222309576he could've wished that people didn't need food to survivenobody in 100 years will care about this, it'll just be some story grandma told.
>>222309589I think it's deliberate, they were smearing someone in real life with this character and didn't want him to be taken seriously as a villain. I agree with you and hate the look of this movie so much that people who even mention this character disgust me
>>222309873Pretty sure it doesn’t work like that. There’s parameters I think, in the comics. Like, you can’t “wish” for shit, you can only alter the state of things as they exist in nature. The gems are universal existence in different states, so you can only manipulate those different aspects.
>>222309852It's dumb and you're right people would find thanos wanting to seduce the anthropomorphized version of death lame but it at least makes more logical sense. Still probably best they changed it to make thanos feel like a more compelling villain even if he his plan has a lot of holes in it.
>>222309982the film never says anything like this
>>222310071They hint at it with the different showcased usage of each stone. It’s not meant to be a magic genie lamp when used together. It also takes an intense amount of will and strength. The complexities of digestion and nutrition and what it would take to alter that so that people could live without food without it cascading into some sort of monkey paw situation would be a lot more difficult than just getting rid of half of sentient life
>>222309290IP case against the California raisins
>>222309852Killing half of the universe to seduce a goddess is epic. Killing half the universe because you're an environmentalist fucktard is lame.
>>222310803It’s cool in a comic, but it would be retarded edgelord shit in a movie, let’s be real.
>>222310147there's no hinting, this is a complete fabrication
Isn’t this sort of mass murder a real plan? All these marvel movies have a “revelation of the method” portion. The new spider man has an mrna plot point
>>222311451How’s it fabricated? They literally show what each stone does. So why would it turn into a magic lamp if you put them together? What are you drinking? (I’m drinking bourbon)
>>222309256Making him not a weirdo who wants to bone Death and kills people to impress her was lame. A villain doesn't need a reason for what they do beyond "the personification of death is hot"
>>222309395He thinks everyone will realize he was right and learn to be grateful for what they have and love sustainably. He’s not supposed to be reasonable, he’s convinced his one idea is the solution to everything and it will be obvious to everyone else as soon as he implements it.
>>222309630>no flight plan filedWas getting caught part of his plan?
Remember when Thanos hung out with Mar-Vel in the afterlife? That was kinda cool.
>>222309290Antisemitism
Why would he go to trial? he did nothing wrong
>>222309589>>222309893It's funny how much DC fans despise Thanos because he's more well known and liked than Darkseid (proto-Thanos). That one single distinction works for Marvel vs DC as a whole. Marvel is beloved and breaks box office records on the regular and nobody knows or cares about DC. Hell, even Spider-Man is more popular than Batman and DC had one hell of a headstart. Tldr - YOU LOST don't blame it on Thanos
>>222311814penile status?
>>222309256>The charges, officer?
>>222312791>What is my crime?>Eating s meal? A succulent big blueberry meal??>Thor touched my PENIS!

THANOS. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW????>On the advice of council, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
>>222309395wait for the reveal behind his actions being the same as Doom
>>222312921>>222312974Retard, Thanos isn't a US citizen
The glove wouldn't fit
>>222313427that's why he destroyed itu bitches have no proof!
>>222309256jew-appointed negro judge would've given him 200 hours of community service
>>222309323...but accurate
Hers a genocidal mass murderer who kidnaps and tortures small girls, so we'd elect him President.
>>222309397The Avengers jumped and maimed a disabled MINORITY farmer.Never forget what planet you're on.
>>222309256Get his rags off!!!
>>222309256Do you think Ron Perlman was pissed they never bothered to ask if he wanted the role?
>>222309326bro just want an excuse to write "dramatizations" of gay sex acts
>>222309473Here's what I think is the far bigger and more glaring motivation hole: why does he care this much?He seems to be an atheist, his plan is to destroy the stones after using them for his ultimate purpose, he knows he'll be weakened after the first snap, and the second snap to destroy the stones nearly killed him, leaving him vulnerable on the cosmic scale. Thor just shows up and kills him instantly. He had to have known this would happen, so what's his fucking motivation? >He just happens to care so greatly for all life in the universe that he'll sacrifice his own life to see it continue?This makes no sense. Men sacrifice themselves for their family, their friends, their neighbors, their country, their religion (most effective), but just to prevent something bad from happening to all planetary sentient life in the future which he'll probably have long since been dead when it happens? For whom, though? He has no family that will carry on his lineage, he has no friends, he has no country, he has no religion, and he doesn't even have a species, since Titans are extinct. No "Project Hail Mary" motivations to even speak of. He gets NOTHING for doing this, precisely fuckall.All the did was take the snap in the comics and try to adapt it into some kind of weird morality play for Thanos, making his motivations arguably even sillier than in the comics. At least in the comics Death, the entity, is confirmed to exist, though why he'd be into her ever is still massively unclear, and why he's want her to be an equal, psh, I guess you could just chalk that up to the minds of the jewish authors.No motivations whatsoever for his quest.
>>222310147Motherfucker turns Drax into a sentient pile of rocks, Mantis into a sentient slinky humanoid, and a plasma pistol into a toy bubble gun.Motherfucker just up and shows Strange what Titan looked like when it was healthy on a whim with the reality stone.This is some hand-wavey shit.
>>222310147Whichever species has the highest birthrate and the highest drive for expansion will inevitably end up monopolizing the universe after the ballchinian gets his wish. If anything dividing all sapient creatures' population by 2 is more of a monkeys paw than just spending some time using the stones for smaller non-universal feats like creating machines in orbit around each planet that all produce infinite food and regularly deliver it across the planet. Something he probably doesn't even need the stones for, but they make it trivial once he has them.
>>222310147In the comics after Thanos gets all the stones he takes time out consider what it means to basically be God, to have absolute power, until he realise that he need not be concerned about making decisions he might regret, because with absolute power he can simply reverse any decision that doesn't work out in a way he's happy with.ie. God need not concern himself with petty mortal issues like regret.
>>222309290Killing half of Israel
>>222311818DCfags despise Thanos because he represents everything they were not mentally capable to accomplish (a shared universe)
Darkseid is a better villian anyways
>>222309256Your Honor, by killing half of all lifeforms he prevented the entirety of life from starving to death. No, he couldn't have just doubled the number of resources because he's clinically insane.
>>222314946Remember the heat map? This was written by those people. People who think worrying about the abstract welfare of all the rocks in the universe is the highest moral concern.
>>222312833>A succulent big blueberry meal??
>>222309256My friends and I asked this after we left the theatre in mumbai. You are right sirs. what could we do? Those infinite stones are a problem.
>>222318238Ha, that's cool to know some people in another country were pondering the same thing I was. Reminds me we're not all that different deep down. Glad you guys had fun with the movie!
>>222318253Can i please have some money? My sister cancer. Be superhero i will send cash app? $bbaragimughal thanks you bless
>>222317735>Darkseid is a better villian anywaysNobody that matters knows who that is.You lost. DC just needs to go away. It's embarrassing at this point.
>>222309290Lots and lots of murder, plus whatever death and damages caused by half the universe suddenly disappearing.
>>222314946I thought it was cause he grew up on an overpopulated planet or something
>>222309256If the gauntlet doesn't fit, you must acquit
>>222309381Makes me wonder, if you do something that affects multiple judiciary bodies at once who has the right to get you.Like if you threw a nuke that hit Switzerland,Austra and a US embassy at the same time, who gets dibs? Do you have to go through multiple court cases?Thanos struck half the universe, so every single planet with some law system?
>>222310017>people would find thanos wanting to seduce the anthropomorphized version of death lame but it at least makes more logical sense.Especially once you know that Death in the MCU is Aubrey Plaza.
It would've been nice to have someone (maybe Tony, Steve, and Thor in their fight with Thanos in Endgame) lay out why Thanos' plan wouldn't work, and we see Thanos slowly come to realize they're right, and then he just fucking loses it in rage and denial.
>>222309256His defense lawyer from the law firm of Hershel and Chaim:>"Did he really do bad? He cut global traffic and pollution down by half. He elimated world hunger and there's now plenty for everyone. He made housing practically free with all the surplus houses. He ended homelessness and poverty. He eliminated overcrowded cities and schools. And your honor I propose those so-called heroes with the Avengers want to bring it all back because they're a selfish evil group founded by a rich White Supremacist!">gets found innocent>statues raised for him and holidays are named in his honor>the world is a better place for it.
>>222314946When he suggested they do that on his planet, they banished him, and went extinct, so it's understandable that he became fixated on this
>>222309256I'm sure he would be rehabilitated after a few years in prison
>>222313427this, you must acquit
>>222309256Dcucks unironically think like this
>>222309332half the people on earth died though
>>222309395He'd become a boogeyman and people will start to think he'll come back if they don't stay in check
>>222320183this, people are going to pass this down for generations to avoid a repeat
>>222309256They would have listened.And that's what no one did.
>>222314946His plan to kill half the people made sense in the context of his home planet but doesn't make any sense in the scale of the universe. He is lying, maybe to himself, by pretending to be a philanthopist when in reality, he is driven by spite. He just want to do the thing he wasn't allowed to do to save his planet. Since he's now omnipotent with the gems, he could solve the problems of the universe without killing anybody, but that's not what he wants. So the people who think Thanos was right have no critical thinking, they are typically the people who get fooled by charismatic politicians.
>>222316845Good catch. Yup, he’s fucked. Big guy was lucky Thor had a melty and killed him.
>>222320183>>222320204This is only assuming they know why it happened and don't just consider it some weird terrifying random thing that happened once that one time. Unless Thanos broadcast a message to literally every planet in the universe and explained his plan, who the fuck is going to go through the Blip and think "Oh, some alien guy was trying to teach us a lesson about resource management"? At BEST, they might think it's a Rapture-type event, but that'll just inspire them to be good, religious people, not consume less resources.
>>222309256When he did the snap, half of Epstein list banished.Let that sink in.
>>222320315Its clear that its widely known Thanos did it, in Brand New Day students in Banner's class pester him with this exact question. Though they might only know because they know a guy who was there, i don't know if its been brought up elsewhere
>>222309274He's a humanoid alien being, just 10 ft and extremely strong
>>222318415>who gets dibs? Do you have to go through multiple court cases?Go big enough and you get your very own court, with the results chosen well in advance.
>>222320418Earth knows because 1) It happened on Earth and 2) The Avengers live here and told everyone. What about worlds that have never heard of Thanos or the Avengers, or don't even have off-world travel technology? You're just an alien guy hanging out with your friends Blorp and Skibz and all of a sudden they just burst into ash for no fucking reason.
>>222320480This is exactly what Phase 4 was supposed to explore but all the writers complained about it being hard to write around the snap and they just gave up
>>222320480All the worlds in the mcu are potentially in communication thanks to the gods in their god realm so that'd be a way to spread the news of thanos even to backwater bumpkins
>>222309395He should've wished for both the snap and cutting the fertility for sapient species in half, that's the only way it would've worked. Ironically enough doubling the resources wouldn't have worked for the same reason just snapping wouldn't have worked.
>>222309290Crimes Against Humanity.
>>222320738Why wouldn't making more resources work though? They pass over this question in the new spiderman as if it's obvious but it seems like a plothole they can't solve
>>222320774Because extra resources would cause a galaxy-wide population boom until the population-to-resource ratio was the same again, which is the opposite of what he was trying to do. It's basic Malthusian math. It's just like how sending food aid to Africa doesn't solve hunger no matter how much you do it since more kids are born and survive causing the food demand to stay above supply.
>>222321043Why doesn't he make more galaxies, an entire new universe, or just make people require less food to be healthy?
>>222321043>can litearlly change the laws of reality itself on a whim>best he can come up with is killing half the population>which will only solve the problem for a generation at most anyway>could at least create a gorillion gorillion more galaxies, to keep everyone occupied for a few million years or something, but nahunironically, this plot point was more retarded than the "human as batteries" shit from the matrix. legit just "wtf were they thinking?"-tier nonsense. defending it is so insanely stupid I can't even comprehend how it is possible for anyone to do so.
>>222321043Sending food aid to Africa doesn't work because the aid never arrives. Warlords take the grain then sell it, and use the money to buy gold plated AKs while the people starve.No amount of resources can fix an issue if the resources are misplaced. A first world equivalent is the government printing infinite amounts of money but somehow none of it is going in to my wallet.
>>222320585Basically the entire point of the gods in Love & Thunder was that they're all lazy selfish dickheads who barely even acknowledge their followers except maybe to laugh at them. There's no way they'd sit them down and explain the Blip to them. And even if they wanted to, what if a planet's god got Blipped?
