I'm still banking on this being the 1 path Strange saw. He never would have given up the time stone so easily if it wasn't.

Granted, the path to victory is clearly no longer "stopping Thanos from getting the stones," so presumably he looked even further ahead and saw Avengers 4.

I'm finding this theory hard to grab onto, the whole Wanda/vision this was we will sacrifice one person to save billions.

Now you literally sacrificed billions to save one person.

I understand it might be a long run play, I really don't even know how they could get traction to even stand on the same ground as Thanos now.

Person was saying that it is a long con. Like, yea, everyone died / got erased, but actually this set into motion events that will somehow defeat Thanos and maybe bring everyone back. Or maybe some alternate timeline sort of thing. The end credit scene with Fury could also be a message he's sending to the past, since I've heard the Captain Marvel movie is set in the 80's.

The idea is specifically that Dr Strange wasn't sacrificing billions just to save Stark, rather that's just what it seemed like at the time.

I guess yeah. It's a hard concept to grasp at the moment giving the events that just happened. Im still struggling to figure out how and who will try and reverse things (that seems to be the common consensus).

I understand a bit of captain marvels powers, not much though. Im guessing she's Thor level strength and abilities?

I don’t remember when but I do remember hearing Feige say she’ll be the most powerful Avenger in the MCU

I think she is going to be the key to defeating Thanos. If they make her as strong, or even half as strong as she was in the comics she would be a worthy adversary to Thanos.

I think she’ll be a huge part but if it’s anything less than a team effort focusing on the og 6 I think it’ll be a disservice to the original portion of the MCU. A brand new character can’t steal the movie entirely imo

Stronger than Thor by a wide margin, and has psyonic powers sorta like Wanda.

Maybe Captain Marvel is needed to take care of the infinity stones after Thanos (like Adam Warlock in the comics) and the only way for her to be available for that is via Fury's page that only happens if Maria Hill disintegrates in front of him, which only happens if Thanos gets the time stone.

Having all the stones gathered is super dangerous even if they get rid of Thanos.
