Let's say you had the Infinity Gauntlet with all the stones. How would you solve the universe's overpopulation problem?
Please make sure that your suggestions are actually supported by feats that the IG/stones were shown capable of doing. Don't just invent something like "I'll create 10 other universes" when the IG has never shown the power to do that.

There is no such thing as an "over population problem". The universe obviously handles that one. There can never be more species than resources can support. As soon as one more person exists than food to support them....they die. The universe is always "in balance". There is a reason why the human population increased so dramatically over the past 150 years....it's because things got BETTER. It's good news. Yet some actually try to paint it as a negative. ....People like Thanos. Any time in the past when things were bad, the population did not increase or even decreased. That's how it works. |

I'd argue that the reason human population increased so dramatically over the past 150 years is because we got better at not dying. The numerous ways that nature kills off our species to balance our population, well, we found ways to counteract a lot of them. |

I'd argue that the reason human population increased so dramatically over the past 150 years is because we got better at not dying. The numerous ways that nature kills off our species to balance our population, well, we found ways to counteract a lot of them. Exactly. And that is getting better...not worse. We don't even talk about measles, mumps, whooping cough, or even the flu any more with any fear. That used to wipe us out in droves. People used to die from diarrhea. Now it's a joke we laugh at in movies. Women used to die in childbirth at a high rate. Now it's another skit in a sitcom where the husband is in a panic for no reason while the wife rolls her eyes. Our teeth used to kill us too. By age 30, most people were starting to lose their teeth and that caused all kinds of other health problems that killed people...including not being able to eat properly. Now we have fluoride in the water, brush and floss our teeth, and get regular dental checkups. Exposure used to be a big killer. People died in winter....a LOT. People still die from temperature related causes more in winter than in summer by a wide margin, but it's not close to how bad it was in the 1800s. Any time there is a need for "balance"...it happens. When there isn't enough food....there will be less people. It's a biological law. Thanos just didn't understand how that worked. |

As the moniker suggests, I would extinguish all life everywhere.
And, in its filthy place, a glorious underverse --- shining ever new. Hee hee hee...

Don't just invent something like "I'll create 10 other universes" when the IG has never shown the power to do that. I would make it so ONLY people with high I.Q. could have children.
As for your suggestion of what the IG could or could not do... We don't know what that is, so "I'll create 10 other universes" IS actually valid. If it can end exactly half of all life why couldn't it do the other thing? In the comics it could literally do ANYTHING, and in the movies we didn't actually get to see it do much of anything really except for some colorful light shows and finally the finger snap. Oh and that time when it turned Starlords laser gun shot into bubbles.
