Don't throw stones at me yet! Lol~I just need to get this out of my system.
That aside, I just had enlightenment while I busy myself with my MCU fanfic, I realize there might actually be a more profound reason why Thanos annihilated half of life in the universe instead of doubling the resources. I am not being an environmentalist if I say it's because more resources would catastrophically shift the environment or anything.
What I do know however is that more resources would result in people wanting more... Fewer resources don't really mean wanting war as Thanos suggested either.
I think his ideal would be an overarching plot for the continuing phase 4 of MCU. That's a wild guess on my part, but damn, I love MCU despite the shitty She-Hulk even existing.
Returning to the topic at hand... If a civilization has more resources, and more people, it would have more leeway and chances of advancing, developing, and inventing. I mean, a civilization that thrives in multiverse technology is not impossible. If civilization continues to survive, and improve itself, it will come to a time they'd start exploring planes outside their universe.
Using a time machine to travel to the past to steal the past timeline's resources seemed a viable option for me too. The idea is insane, but I think the same reason why Kang the Emperor became so powerful is exactly this. By exploiting almost an infinite amount of resources from other universes/timelines, he was able to build an empire! This is what the TVA has been trying to stop since its founding.
Multiverse technology had literally infinite possibilities.
For example. If I have a time machine... Instead of going to the far past to save Dodo Birds from extinction, I'd rather steal a couple of Dodo Birds and bring them to my timeline. Who knows? Though far, the Dodo BIrd might actually live and reproduce in my timeline. The idea of multiverse technology is so powerful it is giving me wild fantasies about how the MCU will pan out.
TVA thriving in multiverse technology since the Loki TV series is the most insane sci-fi thought I encountered in the MCU. Though similar plots are explored in other fiction like in the Ben 10 movie how the villain is manufacturing clones of himself through time travel, and the famous Back to the Future of a lad's escapades through time, it has never been addressed how these phenomena can be used to improve civilization as a whole. A Multiverse Civilization is just that awesome.
Thanos didn't care about civilization. he cared about the peace of the universe. And what is peace if not the opposite of war? It is a very thought-provoking question. Does Thanos's act of annihilating half of the life in the universe actually so that the 'Multiverse War' won't even happen? Maybe he is aware they exist in the sacred timeline, and maybe even had contact with He Who Remains. My argument doesn't have much backing, but if Thanos really succeeded in Infinity War and the Avengers didn't even bother to time travel and do Endgame, the Sacred Timeline could have bought more time for itself to 'exist' in peace.
What do you think?
