How dare she be friendly.

But yes, it's important to keep in mind that, while George CAN be helpful, he's ALSO, well... George.

When he makes that last face, I see his facial hair as wrinkles.

I thought it was Thanos at the end, with the face wrinkles

Ellen stirring George's cold heart with the power of positivity. Poor George! Edit: George, not Greg

That darn Ellen, stepping on George's schadenfreude.

George. Greg is the huge martial arts instructor that we haven't seen for some time. https://elgoonishshive.fandom.com/wiki/Sensei_Greg?so=search

Well, Thanos DID have to wipe out half of planets and adopt and brainwash kids to have children cuz the girl he liked mostly ignored him so the forever alone bit still fits 😏

You right! Thanks! Don't know what my brain did there...

The "wipe out half of people in order to solve overpopulation" thing isn't just cruel, it's horribly ineffective--just how long did it take Earth's population to double? Answer: less than a human lifetime. We already have more than twice as many people currently as there were at the end of World War Two. Thanos would have to kill half of the population at least once per century in order to make any long-term dent in growth. The real way to stop population growth is for people to not produce more than three children.

Well, the idea, in the movies, was to create a cultural shock that would ensure people would stop having more than three kids (well, two for most, with a few allowed to have three for accidental deaths). Is that really efficient? No, but it could be argued to be at least on the right track (he should have brainwashed those populations so they would stop thinking in the present and only about themselves and actually plan for the future and the “greater good”) In the comics, the motive was only to make an offering to Death, who was offended that...there were more people alive in the universe at that given point that dead people throughout its history?! Yeah right... See, this was a really Earth-centric premise, as the comics was published at a time where it was purported that, indeed, there were more humans alive than had ever been alive previously. But this did not take into account the fact that most galactic civilisations had been around for several millenia, with more or less the same number of planets as a whole, meaning that the galactic/universal population was probably rather stable. And, as such, after only two or three generations died, the numbers would have completely been in favour of the dead and never to be overcompensated again.
