Thanos killed 50% of living creatures. That doesn't mean 50% of black people.
For example, say there are 1000 people, 500 are asians, 200 are black, 150 white, and 150 misc (latinos, middle easterners, etc). If, by chance, Thanos happens to obliterate 500 asians, that's already 50% of the people. And there's still 100% black people intact.
That would still make Thanos racist tho'. But just againts asians, so it doesn't count.
Yeah he could of been more racist, the snap didn't judge by skin color, so it killed more than 50%.
shareWait a minute. I thought Thanos wiped out 50% of all life on planets where there was life. Evenly distributed.
If he simply wiped out half of ALL living creatures then technically just a handful of humans could have been wiped out and the vast majority of the removed 50% could have come from Blorgon 5 and 6 and so on (aliens of other worlds dying is something I think the movie should have shown us).
Anyway, pretty sure he insinuated it was half of all civilisations.
The number of single celled organisms vastly outweighs the number of all other organisms on the planet. By several orders of magnitude. I also can't help but wonder if "organisms" that don't fit the traditional definition of life, such as viruses, were also on the chopping block
I think if you look at it in terms of cold probability, not many humans should have been affected. Yet when this movie rolls around I I bet they'll make it clear that 50% of the human population died. Overall, the concept of killing 50% of living things, and Thanos's motivation for doing it in the movie, was a dumb idea
Killing a bunch of living things would create massive chaos in our ecosystems. If a bunch of our gut flora just went kapoof it could leave us vulnerable to normally innocuous microbes. Species that have co-evolved into tight symbiotic partnerships with other species over thousands of years would be very vulnerable, and could go extinct
Thanos should have been portrayed more as a megalomaniac and less as some kind of compassionate sad boi. His plan is stupid as fuck, even by superhero movie standards. Nobody with a brain (very few of those among MCU fans and moviegoers in general) would buy into it for a second. So one is left to assume that Thanos is a fucking retard, which makes him way less impressive as the mega villain of the franchise
Actually, he's a massive sentientist. Notice how he let all the non-sentient things survive.
