I think he wants it to thrive in a way that is exactly in line with the standard he has already decided - the arbritary standard of "half the people are fucking dead." Thanos would consider the method AND result equally important. This deliberate process of following a specific ideal and wanting to make the entire universe follow for its own good is what I view as lawful. My big hangup is I don't feel like Thanos's plan doesn't really makes sense to come from the mind of a lawful person. From a neutral mind makes sense as you could buy that as a path of least resistance. From a chaotic mind it could actually make sense too if the idea of randomness is inherent to the plan being the ideal on enforcing it-- that's why I initially said I could even see an argument for Chaotic Neutral more than lawful. While it is an ideal that could technically be lawful if you're thinking it absolutely has to be done that way and you're forcing that on the populace, if nothing else I feel like a lawful mind would be more calculated in how they make the distinction in their mass genocide rather than just randomly doing it. This feels more like a process generated by the conclusion of a mind who doesn't care how, just wants half of the things removed ASAP. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! <cite>Lopen posted [p:914460575] in Has there ...
