Bring Tony back to life the same way that Thanos brought back the Mind Stone and Vision back to life only to kill him by taking the stone?

Because the writers didn't think of it.

They legitimately never had the idea when it came up in a Q&A. I don't know how you miss that but they somehow did.

I think he's probably got some personal code about using the Time Stone to just bring folks back to life. He'll make an exception for a universe ending event, but to bring one dude back probably isn't worth it.

Thinking about it, probably? I don't know.

Just give him some Kree blood

If he rewound time to before Tony died, it'd have to be before he snapped. And then Tony wouldn't have snapped, and Thanos would presumably come back.

Plus, Strange is a dick.

1 stone can't override 6, so he would only be able to go back to the point after the snap, which means he would just die again.

it might be paradoxical cuz if strange uses the time stone on tony right after he died, then either tony would not have the time stone when he snapped, or there would be two time stones.

If he went back in time to before Tony snaps, Doctor Strange would lose the time stone while using it because it would be in Tony's gauntlet. How can he go back any further than before he's possessing the stone to go back in time at all?

would he though?

Do we know that the pages from the tome in Doctor Strange weren't just duplicated when he restored it?

Strange literally went through an elaborate 5 year scheme of stupidity just to let Tony die. It's clear he doesn't like him and planned this (half jk).

They ruined the stones by making them a snap only plot device. Someone in control of all those things including time should effortlessly snap whenever. He can manipulate time yet cant snap his fingers?

In the comics the IG could effortlessly win the last fight.

The time stone fixed a machine. Whos to say slapping someones body back together doesnt exclude the soul, something outside the time stone's jurisdiction.

cause itll be another world where Dr strange used the time stone to revive Tony Stark.

---------Endgame------
--------\_____________Tony Stark Time Stone_____

with the 4th phase having a Dr Strange multiverse movie theres a possibility Iron Man is in one of those worlds.

i hope eventually this multiverse mcu thing leads to God Emperor Doom somehow...

Isn't it similar to how they couldn't bring Black Widow back? Using the stone or having anything to do with it seems pretty permanent, with or without other stones

Because it wouldn't change their current time line, the snap still would have happened and half of the population would still be gone

I get this response every time then never get to reply to it. Heres my chance.

The reason you go back to that moment is because all SIX Infinity Stones are in one place: the Infinity Gauntlet. Thanos is heavily injured but still able to perform the snap. But you arrive right at that moment and finish him there? Now all six stones can be claimed in one instant, allowing Thor to return to the present in one trip, the mission complete. And the ONLY fork in the timeline is a reality where Thanos FAILS.

Terrrrrible plan. Holy shit.

Thanos snaps a second sooner as you time whoosh in front of him. Boom. Snap happens, maybe takes out the time traveler now, and now hes got a time machine and knows of time travel. Awful plan.

The only reason Thor failed to kill Thanos originally was because he felt he had to look him in the eye and stretch it out. A second Thor who knows better would just kill him while the original Thor is gloating. Alternatively he could just cut off Thanos arm before he completes the snap. Remember: they can go to any moment and place in time just by exiting the Quantum Realm at the right moment. They can pick The perfect time to strike.

The only reason? Thanos stopped for that little chat too. He couldve snapped long before the Thor thing, or anytime during their talk. With the talk of "dark timelines", dropping in on a Thanos with all 6 Infinity Stones is definitely NOT a good idea.
