When I fleshed out, I don't just mean explaining his reasoning behind it, but also making it more grounded. If Thanos instead planned to reset the universe or to turn the universe into a totalitarian society, where he and his men oversee all resource distribution, then I feel like he may have had some reasoning behind him. I don't think for a five seconds that the movie wanted you to agree with Thanos, I just felt that if certain parts of his plan were changed (namely how extreme it is, or that it isn't much of a solution), then he would at least have something resembling an argument behind him.
