This means Strange considered two different possibilities. Either Tony had a 50/50 chance to survive the Snap, or he knew once Thanos took him up on his offer that Tony would survive. If Strange had opted for the 50/50 option, those were still far better odds than one in 14 million.
Characters like She-Hulk, G'iah, Gilgamesh, Adam Warlock, Hercules, and Wolverine also have the potential strength and abilities to survive the impact of using all six Infinity Stones.
Even assuming Tony was the only one who could have killed the Mad Titan, it wasn't exactly impossible for him to be healed. The critical damage he received could have been reversed by Doctor Strange.
Hulk intended to bring the dusted back; when he snapped, it happened. Tony intended to destroy Thanos and his army; when he snapped, it happened. The effects of snapping your fingers with a full Infinity Gauntlet aren't set in stone, it's just what you want to achieve.
What If Iron Man SURVIVED The Snap-In Avengers Endgame?
Why Tony was not worthy even after snap?
The main argument against Tony's worthiness of Mjolnir post-Endgame is all about how self-sacrifice doesn't mean being worthy of the hammer – Tony had already been close to death in order to save the world before he tried to lift the hammer in Age of Ultron, so self-sacrifice wasn't an immediate pass to being worthy of ...
However, Red Skull told Hawkeye that Black Widow's death is permanent. Later, the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) says that he tried to wish Black Widow back into existence when he held the Infinity Stones, but that it wasn't possible because, as Red Skull confirmed, the magic of the Soul Stone requires a permanent sacrifice.
looks to Doctor Strange near the end of the final battle, and Doctor Strange holds up one finger, indicating they've got their one chance. This spurs Tony to make the ultimate sacrifice: Taking all the Infinity Stones for himself and snapping his fingers to destroy Thanos' army.
Why didn t Dr Strange use Time Stone against Thanos?
The short answer is that he *could* have (Thanos proved that one stone can affect the weilder of another when he used the Time Stone on Vision), but Strange had already secreted away the Time Stone magically, to prevent Thanos from using his own immense power to take it from him.
Consider: if Thanos' snap had killed half the universe's population at random, there would have been a fifty-fifty chance that Thanos himself would have been erased in the process, leaving the Infinity Gauntlet behind.
However, his ability to hold his own through much of the fight proves that despite his weight gain, he was still an MCU powerhouse. It was Smart Hulk's opinion that only he could do it, but it's possible that Thor too could have managed the snap, but perhaps not without suffering even worse side effects.
Because Iron Man's death is an absolute point in the MCU, Tony Stark can never be brought back without cataclysmic consequences. Of course, the Multiverse does allow some loopholes.
If Tony Stark had never died, his legacy as the brilliant and brave Iron Man would have lived on. He would have continued to build cutting-edge technology, use his resources to do good, and protect the world from any threats.
It was only through the nano-tech design of the latest Iron Man armor that Tony could interact with the Iron Gauntlet and take the stones back. Thus Iron Man died in Avengers: Endgame, sacrificing himself to protect everyone he cared about.
clearly, doormamu wins. Dormammu would just bring Thanos into his world. The Infinity Gauntlet won't operate there, and Thanos would be squashed by Dormammu. In Thanos' realm, it would take the combined strength of the Gauntlet and all six Infinity Stones to defeat Dormammu.
Why didn t Dr Strange rewind time in Infinity War?
Strange saw 14,000,605 possible outcomes. Only one resulted in Thanos losing. Strange knew that no matter what, the Snap had to happen in order to win later on. So the simple answer is that he didn't see a point because no matter what he could do, it wouldn't work.
In order to save Tony Stark's life, Strange gives Thanos the Time Stone, which effectively makes his victory an inevitability. As the Sorcerer Supreme fades into dust, he tells Tony that there was "no other way" despite the fact he foresaw 14,000,605 other potential futures.
In one of the film's most important scenes, Stephen Strange used the Time Stone to peer into millions of alternate futures and work out a way for the heroes to beat Thanos. He emerged from the experience shaken, revealing that he had witnessed 14,000,605 different ways things could play out.
Why are Wanda's fingers black in Doctor Strange 2?
In "Wandavision," she faces off against a witch named Agatha Harkness, whose hands also become stained after trying to absorb Wanda's chaos magic. It's likely Wanda's hands are also becoming stained because she's been studying the dark arts.
Everyone forgets that Peter interrupts the spell so many times, and that's what corrupted it. That's what lets it in. Peter, through the ability he has with his powers, affects the spell with his words. It's not really Strange's mistake.
The fact that it severely wounded the Jade Giant emphasizes just how powerful the gauntlet and its constituent stones are, and if the Hulk can't wield it without injury, it doesn't bode well for more fragile, and crucially mortal, human Avengers like Tony Stark.
With all this armstory between them, when fans saw Nebula had a new arm in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, they suspected it might be related to Bucky's stolen/borrowed limb. But James Gunn has confirmed that is not the case. Nebula's arm is not Bucky's; instead, it is its own creation.
Either way, Hulk definitely wanted to revive Black Widow at the time he wielded the Infinity Gauntlet, so it's highly likely that she would be the one to greet him in the aftermath of his snap. Seeing Black Widow inside the Soul Stone would've provided closure.
