I love the MCU and most of the movies, but this movie just wasn't there tbh. Why did they attempt to try and make Thanos a sympathetic villain by giving him what he believed to be altruistic motives, but give the audience no reason to sympathize with him?

There's only a few lines of dialogue in the movie that even remotely attempt to explain his backstory which is literally just his home planet got destroyed.

Why didn't Dr.Strange use the time stone to reverse time and prevent Thanos from getting the power stone and space stone the minute he discovered he was after the stones and that he already had those 2? It's clearly established in The Dr.Strange movie that he's capable of it.

Why didn't Thanos just straight teleport to Earth and take the Mind Stone from Vision? He already knew exactly where it was and he can clearly teleport.

You know the answer to both these questions? Because it was convenient for the plot.

That should never be the answer to a question in a work of fiction. It destroys suspension of disbelief.

I don't think other stones can contradict each other.

The Time Stone would have rewinded back to his possession and use of the Reality Stone at the most.

There was no doubt he was going to get the Mind Stone. He was just going from one to the other. It was just convenient timing Vision had died and he already had the Time Stone.

Thanos used the time stone specifically to contradict the destruction of the mind stone. So yes it can quite clearly.

No he didn't. As mentioned earlier today by someone else, he just reversed a localized field to bring back Vision who possessed the Mind Stone. If he was contradicting it, he would have brought just the stone back, not Vision with it.

This doesn't make any logical sense. The stone is within that "localized field". It's still reversing the mind stones destruction regardless. The argument that the stones can't negate each other is really stupid.

But destruction is not the same thing as activating it and having a physical effect.

Dr.Strange wouldn't have to activate it to prevent Thanos from acquiring it.

It really says something about the movie if the people who like it have to just make up obscure illogical arguments in an attempt to defend it any way. Good movies never have people question them like this to begin with.

Dr. Strange could have prevented Thanos from ever acquiring any of the other stones by just reversing time the minute he learned that Thanos had any of them. There's absolutely no reason that he shouldn't have been able to do so based off the lore established in the Dr. Strange movie.

There is no neccessity of him to activate any of them to do this.

Thanos activated them and had an effect on the Universe. Nothing in Strange or anything has shown that can be reversed. The Time Stone would then be considered the most powerful one and make the other 5 near useless.

The stuff with Gamora doesn't at all explain Thano's back story. It explains hers not his.

He sent his minions to get both the infinity stones on earth, while he was getting the other two he needed. It was only minutes after they failed to get the mind stone that Thanos stepped in.

Strange knows that the timeline where he voluntarily gives up the time stone and allows Thanos to make the snap is the only one they can possibly win. When Starlord was punching Thanos in the face and ruining their plan to remove the gauntlet from Thanos Strange was the only one to not try to stop Starlord.

There's a theory on Reddit that Thanos is emotionally conflicted with his actions after acquiring the Soul Stone because it allows him to feel the anguish of his victims and the deaths of everyone he snapped out of existence. Avengers 4 might deal with Thanos' PTSD and how he is not emotionally capable of wielding the gauntlet anymore.

tl;dr the snap was part of the plan. Iron Man will probably sacrifice himself to undo the snap.

All of this should have been completely irrelevant, because there's absolutely no reason that Strange shouldn't have just used the time stone to stop Thanos from getting all the stones the moment he knew that he had already gotten some of them.

I agreed with this too but the article posted makes a good point. The Ancient One couldnt see past her own death in Dr Strange. So how would Strange know the endgame? >_>

It's been a while since I watched Dr. Strange though. Did the Ancient One say she used the time stone or was it some other magic she used to see the future?

Time travel is as only as precise as the knowledge of where you want to go. Even so, how would he have traveled all over the Universe, gathering up the stones before Thanos could find them? The Sling Ring might allow travel between two points, but it has never been specified what the maximum distance between those two points is.

He can literally just freeze time at will. He can also reverse time at will. Apparently he was doing his time rewinds with Dormammu for thousands of years. There's no reason he wouldn't be able to stop Thanos.

Not a single one of those is an actual plot hole.

Other than the Loki one, that kina dumb.

However considering Loki runs off screen before casually walking back over, it does make me wonder if he really did die.

How does that stop Thanos? Let's say Thanos gets a stone, so Strange reverses time to before he got it. Thanos will just enact his plan to get that stone again and succeed because he's unstoppable.

Dormamu didn't have time in his dimension (which is also him), so introducing it threw him off.

Reversing time for Thanos may result in him just being flat out unaware of what was happening, resulting in Thanos repeating indefinitely which would make Strange break first, as he keeps the memory.

Or if he does, he can simply alter what's going on with the Reality Stone.

Maybe because the only person to do significant damage to Thanos was amped Thor using a weapon specifically made to kill Thanos?

The person with the second best showing against Thanos, was Mantis.

Thanos could easily take on everyone, especially as he took his armor off to proceed casually once he thought he killed Thor.

Why didn't Dr.Strange use the time stone to reverse time and prevent Thanos from getting the power stone and space stone the minute he discovered he was after the stones and that he already had those 2? It's clearly established in The Dr.Strange movie that he's capable of it.

Why didn't Thanos just straight teleport to Earth and take the Mind Stone from Vision? He already knew exactly where it was and he can clearly teleport.


You must've missed the Dr. Strange movie or not paid attention to it. When Strange reversed time in that movie, the villains all broke through the reversing time and were fighting Strange normally. Thanos with the stones may be able to do the same. He did shatter the mirror dimension after all.

And Thanos literally did that right after getting the Time Stone. Titan and Earth battles were happening concurrently.

All of this should have been completely irrelevant, because there's absolutely no reason that Strange shouldn't have just used the time stone to stop Thanos from getting all the stones the moment he knew that he had already gotten some of them.

Time travel is as only as precise as the knowledge of where you want to go. Even so, how would he have traveled all over the Universe, gathering up the stones before Thanos could find them? The Sling Ring might allow travel between two points, but it has never been specified what the maximum distance between those two points is.


He can literally just freeze time at will. He can also reverse time at will. Apparently he was doing his time rewinds with Dormammu for thousands of years. There's no reason he wouldn't be able to stop Thanos.


And the Dr. Strange movie also establishes that fucking with time to that degree could be potentially catastrophic. It only worked in Dormammu's dimension because he brought the entire concept of time there with him and only the two of them were affected.

Nice that you ignored that part of the movie since it contradicts your points!
