Thanos is a cartoon villain, accordingly his plan was pretty silly to be begin with:
1. Limitless recources: when you have a civilaization that masters interstellar travel with ease you do not have a Small Earth/Limited Recources problem. You'd get real estate and entire planets of carbon-diamand, gold or any other element-recources set out in the periodic table. The real problem would be inflation if your currancy are linked to raw materials (most civilized currencies are not anymore).
Yep, if your civilization is capable of interstellar travel, then you don't have a population growth problem because your civilization can expand to other worlds.
2. Who loves you, baby? Randomly and blindly killing off half the population is pretty stupid, it would hit your best people, family including yourself. If you want to engage in psychopathic genozide to "better" the world you better limit the killing to one specified target group.
Yep, even in Deep Impact, when they had built underground shelters that could save a few million people, they made sure to select scientists, teachers, etc. people who could contribute significantly to rebuilding society. Randomly killing half the population could result in killing off some of the most brilliant minds and thus hampering the efforts to rebuild a thriving society.
