What commonly comes up when people talk about the ethics of Thano’s iconic *SNAP* is this:

“Well why didn’t Thanos double the resources and/or make them infinite?”

Short answer, he can’t

None of the stones (except the reality Stone but we’ll talk about that in a second) can produce matter like that on a large scale. You just gotta look at their names and you can tell that 5/6 of them cannot create resources.

Now the big exception is the Reality Stone which in the comics, COULD double the resources/make them infinite, but 1. Thanos didn’t do this in the comics because in the comics Thanos was just evil for no particular reason and had a death-boner that day 2. The reality Stone kinda got nerfed for the movies and now just makes you stronger.

Thanos is trying to delay the inevitable, it’s like being asked to solve world hunger with a nuke.
