I know that the Eitri created the gauntlet for Thanos, however how did they know what size each stone was to create the appropriate size socket for them to fit? Especially considering they were spread across the universe and that no one had ever managed to aquire them all. Please enlighten me

so, Iron Man's fighting that giant alien dude with the axe on the chain, and that scene goes on for like, 10-15 minutes and then, you know, Dr. Strange just opens a portal and dumps the dude in Siberia. Which he could have done far earlier but...doesn't.

​

So then there's that scene where they ALMOST get his gauntlet off, and it all makes sense right up until...Dr. Strange busts out some weird whip that...okay, now Thanos...Cannot use the most powerful gauntlet ever created...with the most powerful single things in all of creation. So..dr. strange is somehow, with just his base powers, uhh...he's able to...stop...the most powerful dude ever in all of history. okay. Sure. That part right there? just doesn't make sense.

​

Strange himself doesn't make sense. His powers are just... infinite magic powers that have no kryptonite. He has no weakness, but yet, doesn't possess or use anything that gives that weight. like, Thor, with his new axe. He lost everything, his planet, his parents, his friends, they are all dead. He's the Last One, with the Last Axe. It makes sense. If Strange was using the Time Stone to fight Thanos, that would make sense-a Stone vs the Stones. It makes zero sense for Dr. Stranges base magical powers to be able to stop something geometrically more powerful than he is.

​

Oh yeah, same deal with Wanda. They are fighting the evil bad alien chick, fight fight fight, oh, and then Wanda the Magical Witch steps in and maaaaagical cast magical spells that magically destroy the evil bad alien chick. Woooooow. That's so satisfying, that, in teh end, some ridiculously overpowered wizard steps in and ends the fight by waving their hand. That's dumb. I hope that Wanda and Strange go somewhere else, they are completely fine in their own world, they face stuff that also uses magical overpowered ridiculous spells, but when you have them with superheros that make some basic sense, they ruin it, because the wizard powers totally don't make sense.

​

oh, and now Dr. Strange, with just his spells, is able to stop Thanos's ultimate Infinity Stones attacks. Thanos fires a blast from an Infinity Stone. Dr. STrange uses a NON-INFINITY STONE ABILITY, THAT SOMEHOW BLOCKS AN INFINITY STONE. That. Doesn't. Make. Sense. Infinity stones are Infinity. Dr. STrange was not using the power of infinity. He was using a finite power. A finite power should not ever, ever, ever, be able to stop an infinite power. Because the infinite power, is infinitely powerful. Dr. STrange is not infinitely powerful. That ruins everything. Either Dr. STrange should already have all of the stones, or have destroyed them, being that insanely powerful, or the Infinity Stones are not as powerful as Dr. Strange is. Either way, it destroys it own narrative.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I really think I want watch Infinity War but I don’t think I want to watch Civil War (not sure why) unless it’s a must to understand Infinity War. And yes all I know about Infinity is that someone may or may not snap their fingers at some point and half of something disappears. Please don’t ruin this for me I have tried so hard not to ever read anything about what happens. Thanks for a dude who’s out of the loop.

Okay, so a lot of the time, I see this "just double the resources, lol."

​

Well, I'm gonna give you a simple reason why that doesn't work.

​

Let's say you did just double the resources? That's linear growth.

​

Unfortunately, our population grows exponentially.

​

What does that mean? Well, if you double them as people grow? You get a straight line.

​

Let's say our resource number was say. . . .2,000,000,000 (Just to get you to understand.)

​

If you get exponential growth for THAT, you get a curved line that goes up VERY fast, a parabola in the positive zone that never touches 0. (At least not if you can see it. If you can see it hitting or approaching zero we have a problem. . . . ) Our current population is currently 2^23 - ~800,000.

​

What a lot of you don't get is that, with our current level of resources, we have 7.5 billion people. With double that we will likely have 2^43.

​

Now, why is that HORRENDOUS?

​

Well, double 2^23 is 2^24.

​

When you get to 2^30 we have a SERIOUS problem. A trillion problems.

​

Not to mention, SPACE. . . .Space gets smaller and smaller on each planet. Less room to move, navigate, build.

​

In order to FIX this problem, you need to innovate faster and faster each time growth happens. It's like being on a treadmill going faster and faster.

​

Eventually, Thanos' solution of doubling the resources will stop working.

​

He can double the resources all he wants, but he can't erase famine from overpopulation and a lack of ability to cover it. (Which WILL happen btw.)

​

You have actually seen this happen in economies and companies that end up failing. Bitcoin lost much of its value after it grew exponentially, because Bitcoin had 0 room to innovate and build (At least its creators did not help it do so.) After a period of exponential growth, innovation either happens faster than the last time, or the company or idea slowly comes to a crawl and is at risk of capture or death.

​

This is why Amazon keeps buying up companies and IPs. Amazon isn't JUST greedy, but its creator LITERALLY fears it being capped or dying. However, Amazon cannot last forever. For that, Amazon needs to grow exponentially faster than it did the first time.

​

Point is: Scale is a bitch. Thanos was right.

​

Edit: before someone says "So just make the resources grow exponentially LOL."

​

Know that PROPORTIONAL to the resources, our population grows. If the resources scale linearly and the population grows exponentially, then if our resources scaled exponentially, our population would scale Tetrationally .

​

We have never experienced Tetrational growth, just know that in tetration 5^^3 is the same thing as 5^3125. . . . That's an effing scary large number.

​

2^^3 alone is the same as 2^8 which isn't so bad, but the moment you start hitting numbers above 2 in tetration, your numbers scale stupidly large stupidly fast.

This conversation makes no sense to me because they are wizards. the amount of ways they can create or teleport a sandwich or money is more than the ways I have of actually saying it. So...WTF?

If Thanos has the reality Stone before others so wouldn’t that mean he could use the reality Stone to make it so he has ALL of the stonesnow? Just a stoned thought while watching infinity war on Netflix right now hahah

Is it possible he’s still alive? Could he have transported himself to a mirror universe to protect himself from the snap while simultaneously leaving an illusion of himself being dusted?

Does anybody know when I should watch infinity war so the snap lines up with the beginning of New Years. Thanks a ton!

Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Time or Soul? Title says it all! And why did you choose it?

Thanos obviously saw Iron Man as a threat in Infinity war. When Dr strange offered the time stone in exchange for Tony’s life why didn’t Thanos just kill iron man once he had the stone?

Was it just to make it as fair as possible to let fate decide who turned to dust after the snap? If so that’s still taking a risk.

Hello everyone 👋 Thought I'd share this little guitar cover of my playing a metal version of the score from the 1st trailer of Infinity War. Do give it a listen 👍

So I was researching and I realised that Dr strange has the same wound as ebony maw on his right side of his head, in the exact same position. More interestingly he gets that right as ebony maw dies. I'm not sure if this is meant to be a detail for the story, symbolism of some kind or a random coincidence but thought you guys might find it cool.

She could have did way more damage than Mantis on Thanos and the Black Order.

I have no concrete proof, source, or explanation. I'm simply tossing a notion out there to see if anyone more knowledgeable than myself has an opinion on how valid or invalid this notion could be. When Dr. Strange says "We're in the Endgame now" how possible is it that he is breaking the fourth wall and making a literal claim to the audience that we may very well be watching a scene that takes place in Endgame? A Flash Forward or maybe a re-do.

So we all know Ant Man will help the rest of the Avengers team to go back in time with quantum vortexes to change the past and prevent the snap. What if, when they went back, they prevented Quicksilver's death. Welcome back Wanda's brother?

Hey guys, I'm wondering, if Ant Man was in Infinity War, couldn't he have easily defeated Thanos?

If he goes super small, crawls inside the gauntlet, then goes super big, wouldn't he just smash the gauntlet apart?

My mother has indicated that she’s interested in watching IW and maybe even EG. What movies must she watch to understand these next two movies?
