The Silver Surfer #35

"I consider [Thanos] to be an anti-hero…because he’s been the good guy as often as he’s been the bad guy in the stories. So I don’t consider him a villain. But because he’s not in that hero category I always found him more fascinating to write. I didn’t have to get restricted on where he would go and how he would react to things. I could make him not as appealing as I would have to make him if he were a hero. He could go off on his own little dark ways and it would still make perfect sense." -- Jim Starlin

In the MCU, Titan was ruined by overpopulation. Killing one half of Titan was Thanos' idea, but he was voted down. So, Thanos is now killing half of every planet he comes across in a weird "I'll show them all" thing.

Here it seems to be "Death told me to."
