Thanos destroyed half the life in the Universe because he had to. Not because he wanted to.As he says time and again, the resources are limited for the beings living in the Universe. Now, Thanos is a smart Guy. [Forget that Shuri vs Tony crap, he's got to be smarter than both of them combined if he's able to somehow use the Stones to their fullest and can trace their locations accurately].I believe that Thanos thought about creating more resources for people using the Infinity Stones. But in the end, He Couldn't. The reason "Even with the use of Infinity Stones and Gauntlet, Thanos cannot create something out of nothing and vice versa."I have a couple of points supporting this. Every time Thanos has used the Infinity Stones, he has transformed one matter into another, the knife into bubbles for instance. Even when Thanos smashed Tony with that mini-moon, he used the Gauntlet to bring rubbles from around him to create it. My point being, In no scene, does Thanos create something out of nothing. Time and again the Infinity Stones are described as relics filled with unimaginable power dating to the Big Bang, that can only rule over a specific domain. Not something that can create things of nothingness, and destroy things into nothingness.This would also explain why all the people who died because of thecrumbled to ashes. My take on it is that people's soul was rapped in the Soul Stone, or sucked by Soul stone, and the remnants of their physical bodies were converted into ashes.Furthermore, Thanos seems sympathetic. Yes, he is ruthless, but only when it comes to his goal of balancing the Universe. Otherwise, he's sympathetic. Proven by the fact he could've killed Star Lord in Knowhere, but he didn't, and so on. So, we know Thanos doesn't want to spread misery and despair. That begs another question, "Why didn't Thanos didn't vanish half the life from the Universe into nothingness and also erased other people of their memories?" That would've been far less traumatic for the rest of the living.So, why didn't he do that? Just vanish people out of existence and make others forget them. Because he couldn't. My whole point is there's a limit to what the Infinity Gauntlet could do even when it has all the Infinity Stones. And that limit is the fundamental theory about Energy and Mass They can neither be created, nor be destroyed, but can only change from one form to another.That's why I prefer MCU Thanos, he actually doing for the "greater good", not to impress Lady Death.
