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?

Would they have all still fought against him?
You're viewing a single thread.
They'd still be appalled and try to stop him given their strong moral code. 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
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.
But even if they were so morally and ethically bankrupt to think it may not be such a bad idea, the truth is killing "the dumber 50%" is still causing catastrophic secondary effects. People would lose loved ones. That's enough of a reason to go Avenging.
Hell, how are we defining "dumb"? Because you may have just murdered every child under a certain age.
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.
Drax DID actually subvert his intelligence in the third film
Deep cut

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.
