Why did HULK not get angrier when thanos was beating him?

Yep, and Hulk was about to get right back to it. "Big monster...!!" Thanos is the same size as Hulk and brushed *him* off even harder than Surtur did.

I thought hella was going to be his love interest when she was introduced. She was the closest to the personification of death at the time.

Yes, thank you! People get caught up in Thanos’ flawed reasoning, when the whole point is that it isn’t about logic.

His people died because they refused to go along with his plan to cull the population. It was insane. But it would have worked. They didn’t have an Infinity Gauntlet to make resources. So there is an argument to be made that Thanos was right.

And as a result, Thanos becomes obsessed, and feels vindicated to the point of zealotry. He’s insane. He only sees one possible solution. He *can only see* one possible solution.

Surely someone would have pointed out the option to create more resources instead. But we can easily assume he figured out some way to convince himself that wouldn’t work. In his mind, the only conceivable solution is killing half of all life. He is committed to the idea to such an extent that it is ingrained in his sense of self.

But then, in End Game, the facade falls away. The core of his motivation is the desire to not only execute his plan, but to be thanked for it. That’s the truth he himself likely didn’t even realize. He was scorned by his own people, who died because they wouldn’t listed to him. They “didn’t have the will to do what must be done”. He expected to be hailed a hero, not branded insane and exiled.

So when it becomes clear that no matter what, nobody is going to thank him, he immediately shifts to "I will shred this universe down to its last atom and then, with the Stones you've collected for me, create a new one teeming with life that knows not what it has lost, but only what it has been given. A grateful universe".

Thanos wasn’t stupid. Far from it. He was mad.

I take it from a different angle. Thanos always talked about how grateful people would be when his work was finished. I think he believed it would teach the universe a lesson.

Double the resources is fine until the population quadruples thanks to all the resources. By doing this he felt like everyone would self-cull from then on.

Also, even if he wasn't insane, doubling the universe's resources is just as problematic. Life would keep expanding and deplete those resources eventually. And worse, how do you define a "resource" when you make the snap? Does that include meat? Now you have more animals that need *more* food to reproduce. Is water a resource? Try doubling all the water and see what that does to life on a planet like Earth. Even with the reality-bending abilities of the stones, it's not a clean solution either.

Uru is stronger than Vibranium
