Not just once but many times we have seen Thanos declaring himself to be inevitable.

This is one of the most iconic conversations in the history of MCU.

One of the most famous Thanos quotes, where he thought that by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But the Avengers have shown him that’s impossible. As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those, that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist.
This happened after Thanos has wiped out half of the population and sees that people on Earth are opposed to change and couldn’t move on because they’re still drowned by grief.
9. THE HARDEST CHOICES NEEDS THE STRONGEST WILLS
Although crazy, Thanos was someone who never did something out of impulse. Every action of his was calculated and planned. That’s why when he chose to destroy planets and wipe their population, he will have to stay strong-willed or else the guilt will eat him alive.

“You were going to bed hungry, scrounging for scraps. Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I’m the one who stopped that. You know what’s happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies.

Perfectly balanced, as everything should be. This Thanos quote is probably the only one that somewhat makes sense. Though his obsession with finding balance in the world is creepy and dangerous.
