And once again , it ’s his ( grand)daughterNebulawho pays the price .

In the comic Word , Thanos does n’t occupy about take apart Nebula , he suspends her in a place between liveliness and death . Using the Infinity Stones , he sculpts her into a " Walking expiry " as a gift for his love . Keeping Nebula in this limbo , he take , is his " tribute to the blasphemy of life and the splendiferous promise of expiry . " When even that is not enough to gain Lady Death ’s philia , he wipes out half of the population … with a piece of cake of his fingers .
