I'm surprised nobody started a thread about this.

We haven't seen a malthusian megalomaniac like this since Hugo Drax in Moonraker 40 some odd years ago.
This film, of course, takes for granted that all life in the universe will breed itself into extinction, and so Thanos' solution must work on pumping up the death-rate, but the fact is that his prescription for sustainability is not far off from people I've seen post here, such as "Montequest" or figures such as Al Bartlett and his right-hand-list.
Considering this film's scale, it will likely beat Black Panther to become the biggest grosser of all time, which in turn beat Avatar, another film that covered limits to growth (in a noble savage sort of way).
What do you think this has to say about the zeitgeist of the developed world?
