Howl posted... It isn't a logical explanation based on the arguments you've made. It doesn't explain in the movie that that's the reason. You have used the argument repeatedly that because it doesn't explain powers that the time stone should logically have and could be utilized by Dr.Strange that he can't use them or that it's beyond the limit of the time stone even though none of that is explained in the movies. This is why I said you aren't being logically consistent. If you wanna go with the argument that he can see beyond his death because of the time stone even though that isn't explained in the movie, then you have to accept the premise that Dr.Strange could just rewind time at will or freeze time at will or that Thanos could just use the reality stone to create a new reality where he has all the stones instead of having to actually acquire them. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3 ...

Thanos broke Strange's mirror dimension with no effort at all. We also saw Kaecilius break free of the effects of the time stone in the Dr. Strange movie. It's not safe to assume that Strange can simply use a portal to cut through Thanos or use the time stone in a straightforward manner to defeat him.
Possible reasons the snap had to happen: -it's the only way to permanently fry the gauntlet -Thanos isn't vulnerable until he thinks he's won -It will ultimately unravel Thanos and destroy his motivation from the inside (it cost him "everything") Strange could plausibly see past the snap if he isn't fully dead, but trapped inside the soul stone. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

These explanations for obvious plot holes are even worse than the actual plotholes themselves. How many ridiculous explanations do people have to pull from the deepest parts of their asses before people just see the movie for what it is. An entertaining blockbuster with terrible writing, pretty much on the same level of the Transformer movies tbh. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3 ... Copied to Clipboard!

"they didn't explicitly say it in the movie, it cannot be possible" No, them saying they didn't explicitly say it in the movie is their explanation for why Thanos didnt just solo the shit out of everyone with the reality stone. Or why Strange didn't just use the time stone to freeze time take the stones from Thanos and kill him. Or any other number of possible things they should have and logically would have done if the movie was logically consistent. I'm telling them to apply that same logic to their braindead explanation for why Strange was able to see past his own death even though the movies don't explicitly state that. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.3 ...

What's even worse is that Captain America is able to catch Thanos' hand and put up a fight against his strength, yet Thanos was shown to be stronger than the Hulk. Suddenly Captain America has Hulk level strength? Lol

No possible way that Strange could have viewed realities that included future events that included Thanos rewinding time in a million and change possibilities. That would have to include quntillions of possibilities for that to be true. It could just show Thanos using the Time Stone or worse, Strange's future just...ending. --- http://www.warwithwords.com Run: 4 Stars and IndieReader Approved:https://www.amazon.com/Run-M-N-ebook/dp/B076R7DCHN ...

I've never seen another movie have so much "why didn't the character just do this thing" criticism thrown towards it until now. It's more that the explanation is lazy as fuck. Every single argument you can make about what they should or shouldn't do comes down to "that's not the way Strange saw it so it can't happen" It shuts down all debate. Every thing happened by Strange's design and will be ok in the end because of that. The writers took the easy way out. That's all there is to it. --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD ... Copied to Clipboard!

The ancient one used her own ability to not be able to see past her death.

Ok, what exactly was Strange doing with the time stone to see the different outcomes? I figured it was like in his movie where he can keep rewinding time until he gets a favorable outcome. So how does he see the future of a timeline in which he loses possession of the ability to rewind? Why didn't he stick with the one timeline he saw them succeed? To do it again slightly better? I have to assume I'm just misunderstanding what the time stone can do because otherwise it makes no sense. Or maybe the next movie will address it...

Say the one outcome is like "okay everyone grab his hand," so that leads to one of them being reckless when grabbing it and ending up dying early instead of letting it play out. The very act of telling them the outcome effectively changes the outcome. --- Not removing this until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.

What if Star Wars had a scene where Obi-wan sat down and explained to Luke why it makes more sense to have a sword fight instead of simply using the Force to take people down who are weaker than you. Then he can go into detail about the limits of the Force and boil down exactly what will work and when it will work. People like this stuff in movies yeah?
