RedState Reports: The MCU’s big bad Thanos is often considered one of the greatest movie villains of all time thanks, in part, to his diabolical quest to gather the powerful objects necessary to literally snap away 50 percent of all life in the universe in order to save its resources being consumed thanks to overpopulation.

In real life, many people saw this as a horrific solution to a problem that could have easily been solved in more creative ways. To environmentalists, however, Thanos became something of a hero they completely understood and seemed to want to mimic.

This includes “Avatar” James Cameron, who seems to think killing off half the population to save the Earth is a “viable answer.”

In an interview with TIME, Cameron commented on films that revolved around themes of environmentalism including the end of the MCU’s Infinity Saga and Thanos’s attempt to save the universe through the elimination of life. A rabid environmentalist and climate alarmist himself, Cameron is part of the “Thanos was right” camp
