Mild spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War below.

Have mercy on me, Josh Brolin.

If you're not frantically refreshing Reddit today, you clearly aren't subscribed to Thanos Did Nothing Wrong. This popular sub honors/trolls/obsesses over the destruction of half the Marvel universe in the final act of Avengers: Infinity War.

Today, the subreddit moderators are kicking things up a notch by banning half of their over 630,000 subscribers—making the universe once again "perfectly balanced." This will mark the largest ban in the site's history.

The IRL Thanos, Josh Brolin, added to the terrifying subscriber purge by recreating the famous Thanos snap via the Russo brothers Twitter.

I can't tell if it's the ominous "Here we go, Reddit users" or Brolin's bizarre decision to shoot this shirtless and in bed... either way, I've got chills.

Want Josh Brolin to decide your fate? As of 10:30am ET, you've still got time to subscribe to r/thanosdidnothingwrong. According to sub moderators and their overwhelming power trip, the ban will happen today, but only when "Thanos is ready."

If it's my time to go, I'm ready. Peter, honey, mama's coming home.
