No, Thanos is not a villain

This position holds that Thanos is not truly a villain. It argues that his cause—balancing a universe of finite resources—is just and that his approach, however drastic, is reasonable, since his logic makes sense and his actions follow a coherent rationale.

  1. Thanos has reason for his actions
    Although maybe skewed, Thanos did have a good reason for his actions.
  2. Thanos's logic makes sense
    The logic behind his actions does make sense. In the 2018 movie Avengers: Infinity the character Thanos claims that by wiping out half the universe he will save it from destroying itself. His argument is a simple one, less people means more resources for each person.
