For Thanos to be so smart. That sure is a dumb plan.
It makes a lot more sense when it's to please Death than to "balance the universe." But of course a plot involving Death wouldn't work for these movies.

And I'm sorry, but the 'deaths' don't carry much gravity when you already know they're coming back.

Movie was straight. It was entertaining. But the emotional trainwreck people are making it out to be, it is not.
