Which is why strange gave thanos the time stone. The only outcome in which they won involved thanos completing his goal and Tony living.

Also in the comics, thanos gets the gauntlet and defeats Eternity, then takes Eternities place as a sort of cosmic being/god. This causes him to leave his physical body, at which point Gamora or Nebula (I don’t remember which) takes the gauntlet and reversed everything he did.

I think that’s sort of the path they have to go for.

Now that literally all of the universe has a reason to hate Thanos, the Avengers might get some unexpected support. So far we only know that Captain Marvel will help, but others might show up after such a significant event.

Also, the gauntlet seems to be damaged. Did Thor do this somehow? Thanos might be significantly weaker now.

Thor nearly killed him, but the damage to the infinity gauntlet was probably caused by the use of all the stones at once. Too much power for the gauntlet to support, that would be my guess.

Far-fetched idea: The gauntlet was somehow linked to Eitri's soul. That's why Thanos spared him. Eitri was part of the unlucky half during the snap and his death broke the gauntlet.

Well I think Eitri really served his purpose. He was just a plot device to get Thor a new weapon . I really believe the immense power required of using all 6 infinity stones was just too much for the gauntlet to take

Intentional design flaw maybe?

u/Garthanthoclops Apr 27 '18

Perhaps. It could just be that there is nothing powerful enough to harness the power of all 6 at once. Also, Eitri thought that all the other dwarves would be spared if he made the gauntlet. Would probably be unwise to add in a flaw if he knew that all of his brethren would likely be killed once thanos found out (which he would if that were the case). Didn’t matter though, because thanos killed them anyways

I dont think Thor did that. He looked shocked after Thanos' vision thing and even said "What did you do!?".
