Aristotle's concept of "energeia" refers to actuality and movement being the primary reality. This relates to Thanos as his primary role was to enact his cause of population control through any means, without letting anyone stop him. For Aristotle, happiness comes from cognitive and moral excellence rather than general human activities. The greatest happiness is achieved through performing the activity that displays the greatest human excellence. A good man reasons well and acts morally according to Aristotle's ethics. The highest form of reasoning is contemplation. Thanos cannot be considered a good man as his actions were not truly merciful. While Thanos sought to help the universe through population control, Aristotle's ethics do not clearly qualify his methods as successful in life
