That seemed like a reference to the comics where Thanos is obsesses with the metaphysical representation of death.
The assumption was that his goals in the movie would be similar.
But that was 2012 and a lot has changed since then.
He trailed off, shaking his head.
Do we even have metaphysical characters yet?
On the one hand, I can understand why they made these decisions.

To make Thanos just really passionate about overpopulation renders his motivations sadly mundane, and also too narrow.
His plan feels less about balance than shaking things up and letting the chips fall where they may.
At least when it comes to love, we as viewers understand doing dumb things for love.

And whats frustrating is that they didnt need to introduce a new character.
They already had her: Hela, the Goddess of Death fromThor: Ragnarok.
But I guess that will have to remain an intriguing, What if?
