The best shows and stories are ones where both sides believe they are doing what is best for everyone, but disagree on what’s best for everyone… Like Thanos. His idea was good in concept, his execution? Not great.

Man, bit of a tangent, but even as a fast thought experiment, Thanos’s idea was bad. Just his motivation was (debatably) good.
The problem is, the vast majority of species populations can easily double in a generation, given plentiful resources - and plentiful resources was what he was aiming for! Even if everything went exactly as he thought it would, he’s just kicked the can down the road for one generation.

Exactly. The concept was sound, that resources were limited and something should be done about that, but the implementation needed so much work.
He imagined a solution for a very real problem, then went straight to making it happen without allowing the solution to undergo any scrutiny.
It’s the only way! Clearly! People just don’t see it like he does! Right?
