Comment on If Thanos had, instead of randomly wiping out 50% of all living things, he had instead in each species wiped out only the dumbest 50% what would the reaction of each avenger have been?

  I’m frankly astonished anyone could genuinely think the Avengers would ever somehow be more ok with letting Thanos kill “only the stupid people”. Like…that’s a very strange read on these characters to think they’d ever react any differently in this scenario.

  You think none of the Avengers is in the “dumb” 50%?

    Of course not, didn’t Drax have a calculus scene in guardians 3?

      He’s still dumb even if he can do calculus

        You missed the sarcasm mate. I chose Drax specifically because he’s clearly not in the top 50% and I havent even seen gotg3.

        I thought it was obvious but actually I could totally see James gunn putting a tongue in cheek maths scene in a film.

  And given that they’d be at full strength they’d probably find a way to stop him and reverse things faster than they did in OTL

  Good point. But I dunno. Thor is a big power loss, and unless Captain America gets a free pass for emotional intelligence counting, they’re short in leadership, too.
