The Silver Surfer #35

[cyberghostface]

"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

Why didn't MCU Thanos use the gauntlet to create infinite resources?

See: "I'll show them all!"

Also, he is the Mad Titan. Emphasis on MAD.

Lol

Because he's an idiot. I remain convinced Titan was in the state it was during the movie because of him. He didn't present his plan to the government and get called mad, he just started with the mass murder and refused to admit it was his fault when civilization fell apart.

Also, the murdering of so many Asgardians at the start after their population had already been reduced by over 50%. He's an insane idiot.

Thanos is that one guy who thinks he's solved all the worlds problems because he took one economics class in college. They even make fun of this in parodies and some of the lighter material (I think they threw in a dig at Thanos plan in the now defunct Avengers Academy mobile game).

I like your reasoning.
