(I believe I’ve credited all the people who came up with the theories that aren’t my own / I’ve seen around the internet, but if I haven’t, then please, let me know! Otherwise, the rest of the notes are my own little thoughts:) )
You’ve probably already seen a bunch of these theories circling the internet, but I just wanted to share a list of some of my own / my favourites that I have seen.
Also, this may be a little messily put together, sorry about that!
(I’ll be adding to this as I find more over the year, but this is what I have as of posting)
Feel free to reblog and add your own theories if you like, I’d love to hear more!
Most relatable moment in Infinity War: Tony Stark staring blankly into the void and deeply questioning every life choice he made since that point for a full minute after having one (1) conversation with the Guardians.
Most relatable moment Pt. 2: Thor crying one minute and then jumping to his feet and pretending everything is Absolutely Fine and he is totally 100% ready to take on Thanos the next
Have people realized that after Loki says “Odin’s son” and looks at Thor teary eyed then drops his gaze and says “swear to you my undying fidelity”, he’s actually saying that to Thor? It was around the same moment the knife appeared in his hand. He decided he was dying for his brother then, and he wanted to settle all the history between them and he wanted him to know he was loyal to him until his dying breath. The look in Thor’s eyes shows that he understood what it means and he’s so goddamn scared. It fucks me up.
Even Thanos, the evil purple ‘cool motive, still murder’ dude respects Tony Stark. When are some people on here gonna start doing that?
MCU TRINITY
My current theory for Avengers 4 and Dr. Strange’s plan has come down to the following points you need to pay attention to.
1. Gamora’s soul is bound to the soul stone. She was bound because she was sacrificed in exchange for the stone.
2. After The Snap, Thanos found himself at a quiet, orange colored, watery place, where he briefly speaks to Gamora as a child. This place was inside the soul stone, and it was Gamora’s soul. Note that the color fits.
3. Everyone who became dust and Gamora’s soul can be saved. Other manual deaths may be permanent.
4. Dr. Strange has seen the one possible future where the heroes succeed. Strange is planning to set up everything so that this timeline occurs.
5. Likely on Titan, Dr. Strange travels into the past via the Time Gem and recruits Heimdall, The Hulk and possibly Loki.
6a. The Hulk is crucial for the victory timeline, and he must do something at the right moment. For this reason, Heimdall sacrificed himself to send Hulk back to Earth, and Hulk refuses to show himself until the time is right. If Loki was recruited as well, his job was to ensure Thor’s survival, because he is crucial for the victory timeline.
6b. Note that Dr. Strange had Heimdall send Hulk to himself on Earth, so Strange knew beforehand that someone had sent Hulk, and he may have realized later that it was himself. This is how he knew what to do.
7. Dr. Strange sacrifices the Time Gem at to correct moment to save Tony, because Tony is required for the victory timeline, saying to Tony: “It was the only way.”
8. Furthering point 7, all the major technicians (Rocket, Tony, Bruce, Shuri) are still around. They may be required to combine their brilliance in order to beat Thanos.
9. For each infinity stone, a character sacrificed themselves or someone they loved, at least attempting to do so. These sacrifices usually happened in the presence of a particular stone. It may be that these sacrifices make different characters the real masters of the stones.
Power Gem: Groot sacrifices himself out of love (Guardians vol. 1) Space Gem: Loki for Thor Reality Gem: Quill -> Gamora (attempted in presence of the gem) Soul Gem: Gamora -> herself (for Nebula, but not in presence of the gem) Mind Gem: Wanda -> Vision Time Gem: Strange -> unclear at this point (maybe himself & his duty)
Even with Dr. Strange’s sacrifice being unclear and Gamora not being in the presence of the soul gem, all of this is a pattern, and pattern implies purpose. This leads me to consider that these characters, when working together, have full control over all the stones, and the stones may refuse Thanos even if he wields them.
side by side, forever.
I expected it to end with the gif of Loki dying in front of Thor in Infinity War
Can we just talk about how in the middle of the battle Groot just says “I am Groot”, and Steve thinks he’s introducing himself and Steve just points to himself and says “I am Steve Rogers.”
Steve thought that Groot took his time to introduce himself, but really he could have been saying “lets kill these things” It’s just adorable!
- Tony Stark and Doctor Strange’s banter
- Banner pleading for the Hulk while the latter outright refuses to come out
- Edgy teenage Groot
- Thor calling Rocket ‘rabbit’
- Rocket promising to steal Bucky’s metal arm
- Peter Quill feeling threatened by Thor’s looks
- The Guardians of the Galaxy (except Peter) being entranced by Thor’s muscles
- Peter Parker referencing pop cultures and being an absolute dork!
- “WHY is Gamora”
- Shuri showing up Bruce Banner and putting him to shame. “I’m sure you did your best”
- Natasha, Okoye and Wanda fighting side by side!! “She’s not alone”
- “I am Groot” “I am Steve Rogers”
- The post credits scene with the Captain Marvel logo!!
ALMOST ALL OF THEM TURNING TO DUST
- A scared Peter Parker clinging onto Tony Stark and begging that he didn’t want to die and then apologising to Tony with his dying breath. “Tony, I’m sorry... I’m sorry”
- Bucky turning to dust as Captain America looks on helpless and broken
- Rhodes calling out for Sam while Sam turns to dust
- Thanos throwing Gamora off of a fucking cliff to get the soul stone
- The fact that Rocket is the only Guradian still alive
- Wanda and Vision dying
- T’Challa helping Okoye up and telling her that isn’t a good place to die before he’s subsequently killed
- Hill and Fury dying
- LOKI
- “Thanos will return” instead of “The Avengers will return”
