The ending of Avengers: Infinity War is pretty emotionally brutal, but we didn`t behold the full scope of the unspeakable horror. Marvel film head Kevin Feige recently confirmed that it`s actually even worse than what was depicted on-screen. Spoilers follow.The Marvel blockbuster ends with the villainous Thanos successfully acquiring the Infinity Stones and slotting them into his magic glove, only to fulfill his deranged mission: ending half of all life with a snap of his fingers to leave the universe`s resources more accessible for those left alive. We get to see this manifest among our heroes, as several of them crumble into dust. What we didn`t see are half of the puppies and kittens crumbling too.Feige confirmed the mass slaughter to Birth Movies Death. In response to a question about whether half of the animals died as well--citing dogs and ants, specifically--Feige replied: `Yes! Yes. All life.`Depending on how strictly we`re to take `all life,` that would include plants as well, which would undermine Thanos` entire plan to solve resource scarcity. Plus killing half the animals will mean sudden shortages of other food sources, but they don`t call him the Mad Titan for his well-reasoned plans.Despite this obvious oversight, Thanos has gathered a fan following. The subreddit r/thanosdidnothingwrong recently engaged in a wild stunt, mass-banning half of its users and turning them into virtual carbon dust. It did this with the blessing of Thanos actor Josh Brolin, though, so at least it`s all on-the-level.
