I finally saw Infinity War. I have two questions:
1. Who was the protagonist in this story? Whose eyes were we seeing this story through?
(And don’t say “The Avengers” because a collective of individuals cannot be the protagonist. The rebel alliance was not the protagonist in the Star Wars trilogy. Luke Skywalker was. The X-Men were not the protagonist in the X-Men movies. Wolverine was. The Avengers were not the protagonist in the previous Avengers movies. Tony Stark was.)
2. If snapping his fingers at the end eliminated half the life in the universe, wouldn’t that have also eliminated half of the plant and animal life in the universe, too? If Thanos’s point in exercising population control was to provide relief to depleting natural resources, his action at the end of the movie simply cut those natural resources (particularly food resources) in half, which doesn’t solve his problem at all.
