It's laughable. Because he witnessed the rise and fall of his own race and Planet, Thanos arbitrarily concluded that population growth needed to be restricted.
What would happen if the population inexplicably halved? What theories are there? Let's put that aside.
Why the hell don't you treat other people's lives as important? What's the difference between your actions and those... people in society who inexplicably represent others? You have your ideas; that's your right. Even if your ideas are a bit extreme, considering your experiences, we can understand.
But if you want to put these... extreme ideas into action, then we're not going to stand for it! Why the hell should we? You're just doing whatever comes to mind; aren't you childish? Stubborn, inconsiderate of others' feelings, and reckless; aren't you insane?...
"Is that so?"
"Don't you think that the Universe's resources are limited, and unchecked population growth can only accelerate the Universe's demise?"
Thanos retorted.
Thanos had thought he'd met someone who agreed with him, but before he could be happy, the sudden twist slapped him in the face, turning his purple face almost black.
I, Thanos, am insane? You probably haven't seen a fist the size of a casserole, have you? Well, the seemingly frail Michael in front of Thanos was, in fact, a powerful being who easily defeated him.
Never mind a fist the size of a casserole; what if it was a fist the size of a Planet?
In Knowhere, that enormous head, comparable in size to a Planet, was silently telling a story.
At least, Thanos understood his current predicament.
Michael hadn't killed him, not because he didn't dare to.
That was merely Michael's benevolence towards him...
"Not at all!"
"Have you ever considered that while the population can surge, can't the Universe also evolve?"
"The Universe is a constantly expanding sphere. There are still many galaxies in the Universe that haven't been fully explored, and you're already worrying about the Universe's destruction?"
"Besides, when resources are consumed, do they just disappear into thin air? No, they don't!"
"Just like our human Planet, we are indeed consuming its resources."
"But the resources haven't disappeared; they've simply been stored on this Planet in a different form."
"What we lack is merely the scientific technology to utilize resources rationally!"
"The destruction of Titan, besides the... drastic increase in resource consumption, also had many other multifaceted reasons, and you failed to find that... path of sustainable development!"
"This cannot blame everything on population explosion!"
Michael gave a definitive answer.
"Moreover, even if it truly is because of excessive resource consumption that the Universe will accelerate its demise."
"Then why don't you go after those... powerful Cosmic Elders, go after those Gods!"
"Tang Tang, Titan Star Lord Nors, how many... resources did you consume to grow to your current strength?"
"Don't you even know this simple principle that stronger people consume more resources?"
"Or are you saying, all along, you only dare to bully ordinary people, and when it comes to Cosmic Elders and Gods, you just run away like a coward!"
To be honest, Michael still admired Thanos's... spirit of not giving up until he achieved his goal.
But as for Thanos's methods, heh heh! He didn't even want to complain! Looking at Thanos's actions, Michael only saw four words! Four bloody big words! Bully! The! Weak! Fear! The! Strong!
He clearly knew that the Space Stone and the Time Stone were on Earth, but Asgard had Odin, and Earth had the Ancient One, so Thanos just... didn't dare to come.
According to the normal flow of the plot, even sending cannon fodder to probe would wait until Odin's power declined.
And now, as soon as he heard of Odin's demise, he immediately came out to wander around.
He's really something else... Avoiding misfortune, Michael understood this principle, and in fact, Michael himself acted in the same way.
However, bullying the weak and fearing the strong to Thanos's extent, Michael actually found it despicable.
The whereabouts of the Power Stone, honestly, Thanos didn't know? Thanos, who had always been dedicated to collecting all the Infinity Stones, wouldn't go to collect information on other Infinity Stones? Impossible! He knew exactly where the Space Stone was on Earth and that the Time Stone was in the Ancient One's hands; would he not know where the Cosmic Orb was?
But why did Thanos, despite knowing, never go to 'take' it? Did he really think Thanos couldn't bear the so-called 'curse of not being able to possess two Infinity Stones at the same time'? In Michael's opinion, he was just 'afraid'!
Afraid that even if he got the Power Stone, he wouldn't be able to defeat Odin.
Afraid that even if he got the Power Stone, he wouldn't be able to defeat the Ancient One with the Time Stone.
Even more afraid that if he got the Power Stone, he would be jointly eliminated by Odin and the Ancient One.
To be honest, a dignified Universal Overlord reduced to this state, Michael really couldn't stand it.
What's the difference between this and Zhang Sanfeng's strategy of staying hidden to become the number one martial artist? To be continued: Feilu reminds you: three things for reading: bookmark, collection,
