We only have Thanos’ word that the planet is better off now than before. Even if it is “better off” now, it came at the cost of the brutal slaughter of half the population. How do those who lost a loved one feel about that trade off?Even if the planet actually was on the verge of collapse, and even if what Thanos did prevented that collapse, it’s still an anecdotal example and no logical person should have any reason to believe it would work in all cases, and even if it did, it’s still an act of pure evil. Thanos is a sociopath who is completely disconnected from reality. He is not smart, deep, or interesting. He is just a force of nature.  Killing his adopted daughter to fulfill his quest doesn’t humanize him, it further locks him in as a sociopath. Making him the protagonist of the story is akin to making a volcano or a hurricane the main character.  You can’t empathize with a volcano or hurricane, so they can’t be characters. The same is true for Thanos. They should have set up the film as a disaster movie.</blockquote>
