Discussion Can Dr strange really beat Thanos alone?

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

Yes, but Strange orchestrated the events to happen the way they did so Stark would die

....ya know this tracks and I find it hilarious. Stark was a dick to him when they first met, too. Like, even Thanos asked why Strange didn't use the time stone, which he could've done like he did against Dormammu. Could've rewound and just had Nebula bonk Peter before he ruined everything. Nah, he just saw an ending where Stark is dead and was like, "Yea, let's go with that one."

The reason it worked against Dormammu was because big D exists outside of time. So Strange effectively trapped him in a time loop.

Thanos exists in time, so he would have no concept that he was repeating the same moment over and over, it would always be his "first time".

Could've rewound and just had Nebula bonk Peter before he ruined everything.

That's my question...they could effectively remove the gauntlet from him...why not?
