  • No spoilers in this. In Infinity War, Thanos wiped out half of all life to "save life", but how would that work out in the real world? No Endgame, no resolution. What is the aftermath for Earth if half of life died in an instant?

      @@giantcrack8079 Ok, true, but that only serves to complicate the problem rather than fix it.
      There are populations all over the universe in the MCU, if we assume the universe is homogenous we can say that the whole universe contains a spread of civilisations all across it. Each of these will expand outward in a sphere centred on their planet of origin (or at least we can make that assumption). Eventually these spheres will meet, and the whole universe will be filled, no matter its size (could even be infinite - there would just be an infinite number of civilisations) or expansion rate.
      There are some more practical problems. Even assuming there's only one civilisation in the universe you still find it to be near impossible:
      Populations grow exponentially; the volume of a sphere grows polynomially. This means that without cutting off the population growth (by killing people or enforcing birth control laws - two things most first world societies are incredibly averse to) a civilisation will need to start expanding its borders at an exponential rate (an exponential divided by a polynomial is still exponential). So essentially you would need some kind of warp technology developing fast enough to allow its maximum velocity to outpace the space requirements for continued existence of life. This will likely require exponentially more energy to keep warp vessels running at these higher speeds. To prevent this energy from forming gravitational fields that will collapse into a black hole you'll need to start building exponentially bigger and bigger vessels, and after that also less and less dense vessels (large black holes have less effective density than small ones - the largest are less dense than air), eventually becoming so sparse that no-one can stand in them.
      Even if you somehow avoid all those problems you still have to hope that the required expansion of your civilisation is slower than the expansion of the universe - which is itself an exponential - the limit is doubling in size (eight times the volume) every 12.2 billion years. So, if your civilisation grows faster than eight times every 12.2billion years (incredibly slowly - we've done that over the past 200 years or so) you're completely screwed.
      Tl;dr: you're right, but it doesn't help.

      A culling isn't a solution, it's a stopgap. He's not mad, he's just stupid. And if we listen to Kevin Feige, Thanos is *even stupider.* If the Avengers wanted to stop him, all they had to do was get him in front of a mirror and he'd have eventually picked a fight with "that purple guy over there." They could have put a ring of twigs on the ground around him and he'd have thought he was trapped. If they threw a blanket over his head he'd have assumed it was night time and fallen asleep. Play a never-ending loop of The Big Bang Theory's theme song on their phone and he'd sit there waiting for the episode to start until he starved to death.
      No, it would have be great if he was mad. Say, insane enough to murder half of existence to try and impress the abstract concept of death--just spitballing here. But no. They gave him a rationale, and I spend the entire film wondering why the hell anyone follows him, because they made a lot of noise about him being powerful and a threat, but just like calling him "the mad titan", all it seemed to be was lip service. "Purple man stronk--he punch good" is about all we got, and this does not a vast army gather, let alone hold. That's even assuming he was able to string enough words together into a believable coherent imitation of speech to get people to follow him in the first place.

      I'm not a biologist but I thought about what would happen to the ecosystem and symbiosis of the very smallest life. If half of all life is gone, then ALL large multi-cellular life would die. Half of life gone means half of microbes dies. It would upset the ecological symbiosis between unicellular life and multicellular life to collapse. There is a saying that bacteria don't need us to survive but we need bacteria to survive. If half of the bacteria in our bodies are gone, my guess is that we would all be dead in a matter of hours or even minutes. Those who survive would have to be so lucky that the probability of most of his inner bacteria were not snapped away to a point below the critical threshold. What are the odds? 50% to the power of millions and billions would give a percentage so low that if multiplied by the sum total population of all humans, or even all big multicellular organisms, would still be less than 1. So mathematically speaking, we would are be doomed.

      But I believe he truly did only kill half of all sentient/intelligent life, we saw this throughout the movie when he went planet to planet killing half of the dominant population before leaving. He didn't stop and begin burning down half of all crops, killing half of all livestock, followed by half of all wildlife; his intent was only to kill those that mattered to leave an abundance for the remaining population.
      As a modern day farmer you know that farming today doesn't require much manpower as it used to aka a single farmer with the right equipment can grow and harvest as many crops in a season as thousands of farmers back in the day would, meaning if half of all farmers disappeared but all their crops stayed intact the remaining farmers would be able to give the world just as much food as we had before the snap while having half the amount of mouths to feed.

      Yes. Feige was talking out of his ass, the story was about political control and sentient races competing for resources. Feige may have been imagining that the plants & animals died but he failed to show it in other ways too, as humanity (almost all the sentients shown in the film are human) didn't all immediately get extremely sick as all the gut biome and other living creatures in their bodies immediately dies. The necrotic shock will most likely kill many normal humans.

      Let's also consider it would not be literally half of everything. In the film all 6 Avengers are saved but nearly all the Gaurdians get snaped. Therefore the groups dont die by 50%. Based on the movie math......90% of plant life might exist but 90% of fish might die.
      .
      This video is great but it also assumes 50% of farmers would die when that might not be the case. Randomly only 30% might die and scientist might have the higher death rate. 50% of all life in the universe doesnt mean every microcosm will be divided by 50%. You could have more spiders die while most snakes live

      @@Jellofreeze law of averages pretty much makes all of that a moot point. On such a massive scale, you'd expect the trend to hold wherever you look. He didn't snap for a 50-50 chance a living thing would die, he snapped to eliminate 50%. The difference is small but meaningful as the first option allows for exceedingly rare scenarios where the snap kills all life or none and also allows for situations like you mention.

      Well a lot of animals are already going extinct.... what I'm wondering is.... if there is 1 left of a certain species... does it go away with the snap? As an ecologist, i can tell you that, yea, extinction is inevitable, because of climate change and loss of habitat. The snap only exacerbates it. Plants though, well within a generation perhaps 40% of the plants will come back. We have seed banks and farmers are generally good at keeping a store of seeds (unless it is certain Monsanto seeds, those you have to buy every year).

    It would also have an extreme effect psychologically as well physically, even if everyone was eventually restored. Knowing that at any time half of humanity can be wiped out and that no one could see it coming, let alone stop it, would completely destroys any perception of humanity’s security in the universe. Everyone would have the same thought in the back of there head, ‘this can happen again’

    Hell, this is accurate even with the world shutting down because of the pandemic. Sure, it’s a lot of hyperbole to consider a few million dying on the same scale as half of all life dying, but it would take a lot less than half of all life dying to shut down what we’ve worked so hard to build.

      It sounds correct, it really does. It probably isnt however, it was most likely either
      A. Blindspot. Thanos just forgot literally everything else existed.
      B. (Probably more likely), Thanos likely specified sentient life, due to their ability to manipulate large ecosystems and landscapes and plays back into his backstory.
      There are probably a large number of variations in between or something even more unique but yeah no, it did not include plants.
      Edit: So apparently the video states otherwise via Word of God from Kevin. But my point not only stands, but it is a little unfortunate because it would have been just as cool to see half of ecosystems just go. Like, yikes that is a big plot hole but whatever if Kevin said so but doesn’t wanna show us, then I am inclined to believe he is wrong, either by omission or by clearly missing a big part of the picture.

    Kevin Feige never said Thanos wiped out plants. He only said the Snap dusted half of people and animals (and their equivalents on other planets). Even looking at Infinity War, there are no plants vanishing. If there were, we would have seen it, since Wakanda is in the middle of an African grassland. And in Endgame (which I’m aware came out after this video), there aren’t any massive bare patches where plants used to be, even before the five-year time jump.

      In the MCU after Endgame you can call him The Imbecil Titan. Only an Idiot would create the weapon of ultimate power, became an omnipotent being and after wipe out half the life in the universe destroy it and make himself defenseless and helpless before his enemies. Say whatever you want about Palpatine outsourcing and micromanaging everything but be that stupid he never was not.
