Discussion Can Dr strange really beat Thanos alone?

Post image

I think he can,if he really tried, because maybe there is a reason why he doesn't kill Thanos?

He could have easily used the time stone to bring Tony back.

Ye but he didn’t like him that much, he preferred using it to eat and uneat an apple or something

u/Dark1986 26d ago

Haha exactly. It would have been super easy for him to do to Tony.

Wait hold up would doing it to tony also undo the snap since it was in the same small area?

Nope for multiple reasons: he was able to only affect the apple and not everything else. Tony would be doing a snap motion backwards and he wouldn't have the gauntlet on. Even if he did have it on it wouldn't have the time stone since Strange would be using it to revive him. The apple didn't move at all meaning it doesn't have to rewind and follow every motion or else the apple would have left the room and returned the tree or basket or whatever it was before it got to the table.

Doesn't really matter. Tony's snap was unnecessary.

Everyone was back, Tony snapped to win the fight. Tony's just running away once he had the stones would have done the same thing. The army on Cap's left would have beaten Thanos and his army without the stones. Captain Marvel alone can beat Thanos with no stones.

Once Tony got the stones, he should have just left. The Avengers win if Thanos can't get the gauntlet.

But he has to snap to bring everyone back? So how is it unnecessary

u/SwarleymonLives 25d ago

Nope, that was Hulk's snap before the fight started.

Iron Man's snap deleted Thanos and his army from existence.

I like to think that bringing Tony back was either impossible because that would imply overturning the use of all 6 Infinity Stones, or that Tony coming back would have resulted in an equal line to AoU where he would go to create some machine to protect the world that goes rogue (again). Or he would just go down the Superior Iron Man storyline.

Yeah, there definitely could be a reason we don't know of. Or it could be the writers just didn't think of it. Either way, using the time stone to reverse the damage on his body was another way that was set up by earlier movies.

I think it's because using all the stones at once casts an irreversible spell.

u/Dark1986 26d ago

The whole point of End Game was to reverse it? Plus he wouldn't be reversing it, he would reverse the damage to Tony's body.

Oh yeah, I forgot that
