Topic	I saw Avengers: Endgame this weekend, and I don't think it was good SPOILERS

She was saying that removing such a powerful object from a timeline will have huge consequences (e.g. Strange can't beat Dormammu), not that a timeline that's missing one of the stones will just blow up. I'd have to watch the scene again to be sure, but either way it's still the same motivation. "I can't risk this reality on a promise." She doesn't want to give the stone away because losing it will harm her reality. The heroes have to return the stones to avoid doing that harm. They're not willing to sacrifice four universes to save their own, because they're heroes. Especially when solving the problem after the fact is an incredibly easy fix. They don't return the stones to prevent branching timelines or other alterations to the "intended" flow of events, because they literally cause those things the moment they appear in those timelines anyway. If it was JUST a question of future consequences, they'd probably be better off NOT returning most of the stones anyway. Yes, Strange needs the Time Stone to stop Dormammu, and the Mind stone is necessary to create the Vision (but on the other hand, it also creates Ultron, kills a LOT of people, and ultimately leads to the Sokovia Accords), but the Space stone leads directly to the alien invasion of New York, the Power stone leads to Ronan's attack on Xandar, the Reality stone leads to Malekith's attack on Asgard (and the death of Thor's mother), and the Soul stone... doesn't do much of anything at all. Most of the potential consequences caused by half those stones are BAD, and removing them from a timeline forever actually saves hundreds/thousands of lives. Though the real benefit to any reality losing a stone would be that, in that reality, no one can ever assemble the full gauntlet. That would prevent at least three different Thanoses from ever killing half the universe (it would be four, but they killed that one themselves). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:926595817] in I saw Aven...
