If Thanos had, instead of randomly wiping out 50% of all living things, he had instead in each species wiped out only the dumbest 50% what would the reaction of each avenger have been?

Would they have all still fought against him?

I can't think of an Avenger or even sidekick who I would put in the bottom 50% of the earth's population. Even the dumbest are probably in the top 10-15%.

Edit: I didn't really think of GotG as "Avengers", but yeah, Drax and Mantis are probably gone, unless they're somehow smart for their species. Or unless emotional intelligence is enough to save Mantis. I don't know if we ever find out enough about Groot to know, but I'd assume he's in the top of his species. I still think everyone else survives (Hulk survives via Banner, or at least Banner survives).

Draxx believed he was invisible if he stood still, he even thought he was invisible while eating a bag of chips. I'm not sure he's gonna make it.

naw I'd say Drax, Starlord maybe, and Hulk if he was in Hulk mode are all written to be comically stupid

but yeah that's probably it, most would survive

There's a lot of generosity toward Thor in this thread. And I think that's great.

Even though he's going to rule Asgard someday, while his brother is clearly more qualified. /s
