I mean if we’re gonna play this game, why didn’t Strange just use the Time Stone to go back before the fall of Titan and strangle Thanos in the crib?
For Scarlet Witch and most of the "well that mission failed" moments in the movie, I think it comes down to the "being human" aspect. Empathy can be a problem (something villains like to bring up a lot as a weakness). For once Tony Stark wasn't the cause of everything wrong happening.
For SW, she stayed next to Vision to destroy the stone the second the separation was complete. Out in the field, the others thought it was too risky for her to be out there. The extra time to get her back and the possibility of not getting her back to Vision because of the fight was too much to risk (also, she's a great defense to have next to Vision). They had no intention (or real chance) of defeating that army, just buying enough time for the separation to be done. And this whole scenario happens because of the "being human" aspect. She should have destroyed the stone when they found out Thanos was coming but the effort was made in the hope that Vision didn't have to be killed. I've been wondering if Black Panther's sister did anything to the stone before she got chased away.
because this isnt minority report
It's always interesting to me to see other peoples' interpretations of this stuff, though I do wonder if you're doing a little trolling via the, "It completely took me out of the movie," comment. Anyway, a followup question: What about his behavior during the Reality Stone sequence? In other words, did he seem to have plot motivation outside of the Time Stone sequence?
Exactly. Though that definitely doesn't clear up some of the stuff about the portals on the donut, as he hadn't checked things out then... OR HAD HE?
I haven't seen Justice League and wasn't planning on doing so for this reason. Anecdotal, of course, but everyone makes this comment about the writing.
Ant man and The Wasp was excellent. An entertaining movie that was stand alone. Didn’t really explain why he wasn’t in Avengers though. The ending was great. Rudd and Fishburn trading Giant-Man sizes like penis sizes was lulz. Interested to see how this ties in to Avengers 4 because the quantum zone had subtle ramifications. “Do you guys just say quantum in front of everything?” was a great line.
So Hope, Pym, and Janet all got dusted in the end credits. I’m a bit bummed because I’d like to see The Wasp help out the Avengers.
Also spoiler theory: Almost certain Scott goes back in time via a quantum vortex to warn the Avengers of Thanos around the time of Avengers 1.
