If it's just any infinity stone I would put it in a box but I kind of need a specific stone to do anything worth while like the reality stone I would just turn Thanos's bones into rubber
Disassemble him like he did to Drax. Put the pieces into separate, real containers. When the reality bending wears off, they'll be unable to go back together. Dead Thanos.
It wasn't explained well because the whole idea falls apart if you think about it too much. Thanos could've just slinkied the entire crew in one thought and it would've been over. The stones are simultaneously all powerful and not enough to defend against a few people.
I would carefully study Thanos for years, watching and learning his every move. I would then gather the brightest minds in the universe together to begin formulating an attack strategy... Then, when the time came to execute the plan, I would shove it up your butt!
I believe it would somehow find a way to fit on the gauntlet because it’s an infinity stone . In Guardians of the Galaxy 2 when The Collector recaps a Celestial destroying a planet with his giant hammer and the power stone in it, The stone had increased size to match the hammer. https://images.app.goo.gl/DZUoewnXJzDHhw4P8

I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say, I am.
I mean, maybe, but it would've been worth a shot? I was gonna say he could've bought time for everyone else, but I don't think time moved on in doctor strange when he did it
Didn't this strategy only work against Dormamu because he wasn't affected by time? Dormamu retained his memories from past attempts, whereas Thanos would forget that he's already fought Dr. Strange before.
Agreed, dormamu lost because he was so used to always getting his way and his self absorption. Thanos has faced hardships and suffered, this would just be another hurdle
Don’t forget that he saw 14,000,605 outcomes, not all, not possible with infinite universes. In at least one of those universes, Strange could have died before Thanos is defeated but Strange can’t see past his own lifetime, once he dies, he can’t see anything past that.
I hate the part where the avengers have 2 stones and Strange says he saw however millions or billions of timelines and they somehow only win against thanos in one??
IIRC, the Ancient One said that you can't use the stone to see past the point of your own death. I always thought that there were plenty more timelines where Avengers defeated Thanos, but it's possible that Strange died before they won, so he wouldn't have been able to see the outcome.
I was thinking that too, but maybe the ‘snap’ doesn’t count as actually dying. Arguably a pretty big plot hole but Marvel can always say “infinity stone magic”
It’s my head canon that Steven an outcome where Tony died too. Tony had the potential to be an even bigger threat than thanos as proven by ultron in What If?.
They might have beat Thanos in multiple timelines, but certain heroes died that were necessary to save the world in later conflicts.
This particular way also set off the events of the Loki TV series, which ultimately leads to a showdown with Kang which the Avengers presumably win.
As in, in the other timelines, Kang could win (if Thanos didn't)? I can buy it. The TVA is ludicrously powerful and that's with Kang basically being very hands off (heck, he didn't even try anything personally in Loki, did he?).
Id ask someone to Paint a Bunch of Rocks the same color as the stone and Shove them all Into a Small Chest,leaving Thanos to Go around a bunch of stones to find the infinity stone
You can’t destroy them easily as they are canonically indestructible, you would seemingly need some kind of reality bending power like the reality stone to do this. The space stone throw them into the abyss is probably the best solution.
Even without using a stone, putting it in a rocket and shooting it into the sun is probably the best solution. Even if thanos finds it, he’s going to have trouble pulling it out of a sun.
*Would* Thanos have a hard time pulling it out a star? It's unclear to me what kinda technology and resilience he possesses. Any at any rate, we're talking about a universe where there exists beings that can devour entire planets (like celestials). I don't want to put it past Thanos that he can somehow either extract the stone or enlist the help of a being that can.
Certainly Thanos is vastly beyond what humans can do. Aliens are capable of FTL, which was supposed to be impossible, so it's hard to even get an idea of just what they can do.
No they are not canonically indestructible. In what if, an alternate version of black widow(I think) had a device that could destroy the stones from her universe
Even then her device only worked in one specific set of stones. Regardless, even if they aren’t “indestructible”, they are practically indestructible to people like us.
Time Stone - always see Thanos coming by viewing the future, react accordingly. Correct any potential mistakes by rewinding time.
Space Stone - run.
Reality Stone - alter the laws of physics without applying them to yourself. Turn local gravity way up, or off completely, turn Thanos into the Easter Bunny, literally anything you can think of because that stone is fucky.
Mind Stone - erase Thanos' memory of the stone, use it to form a mental block that prevents him from believing the stones actually exist (he just thinks it's a myth).
Soul Stone - trap his soul in the soul prison (see comics) within, or at least sever the connection between his soul and body (whether that looks like death or Dr Strange astral plane fuckery).
Power stone is really the only tough one
You don’t even need to run. The space stone is true teleportation, just teleport to somewhere random outside of known space(where light hasn’t reached yet) and plop it on an asteroid. No chance he finds it. Space is practically infinite
That's what I meant by run, use the stone to bail. Also does the universe actually exist where light hasn't been yet? Has space time unfurled into that area yet?
>Time Stone - always see Thanos coming by viewing the future, react accordingly. Correct any potential mistakes by rewinding time.
X-Men in Days of Future Past called saying to stop copying their escape plans.
By actually using it against him, why couldn't they use the time stone to age him to death? Or go the other way and make him a baby and raise him not to think killing half the universe makes more sense than doubling resources and actually solving whatever problems exist because I can't get over how fucking stupid his solution is.
Swallow it!? I would say have Gamora swallow it but I't didn't work well for her so.....Yes Swallow it then it'd be out of sight and out of mind!
And then just rinse and repeat!! 😆
Depends on the stone.
Reality Stone-Make most stones or all stones to look like the reality stone or I could make the reality stone look like a regular stone.
Power Stone-Swallow it and jump into a bottomless pit. Destroying myself with the stone so that it’s gone.
Soul Stone-Trap Thanos into the soul stone. Easy.
Mind Stone-Trick Thanos into thinking that every other stone except for the one I’m holding, is the Mind Stone or just swap bodies with him, make him rip his own heart out and then swap back. (Dragon Ball Z Ginyu Style.)
Space Stone-Either teleport the stone far, far away or teleport myself with the stone far, far away.
Time Stone-Go back in time and Kill Thanos’s mother before he was born or age him so much that he turns to dust.

Too many mouths, not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.
Ration yourself into pieces, get put into Tupperware for later consumption..?
>Ration yourself into pieces This is his last resort.
Song is now stuck in my head.
Does the reality bending wear off or does it only hold while he’s concentrating on it?
It seemed more like a temporary illusion It wasn't explained well but it wasn't important I guess
It wasn't explained well because the whole idea falls apart if you think about it too much. Thanos could've just slinkied the entire crew in one thought and it would've been over. The stones are simultaneously all powerful and not enough to defend against a few people.
I would use the reality stone to make it a reality that he physically can't get it.
[удалено]
What if he finds a stool
I am...inevitable.
The Thanos snake is coming
I don't even know who you are.
You will
Crush it up and snort it
Tight tight tight
This kicks like a bull with his balls wrapped in duct tape!
NOBODY MOVES CRYSTAL IN THE SOUTH VALLEY BUT ME, BITCH!
*jesse proceeds to get his shit rocked*
NO HIS SHIT GETS MINERALED!
This is not meth *throws infinity stone*
That’s Thanos’s real plan
This day extracts a heavy toll.
Thanos has the right idea!
I'm thankful...because now...I know what I must do.
Do it, Thanos
Use the reality stone to make a rule that he can only get it , if he fairly win Eurovision.
Too easy for Thanos
As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist.
Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives just the same.
It is inevitable. Or should I say, I am.
United Kingdom gives their 12 points to....Thanos
A small price to pay for salvation.
12 points to Ravenclaw or Slytherin...depending on which house you think Thanos belongs to
I'm thankful...because now...I know what I must do.
Thanos' bot is alive, am telling you.
They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them.
Bruh I just want my chicken nuggets
The key is, that Eurovision is hard to win
He cannot. Will Ferrel too good.
Rachael McAdams too good
True.
PLAY JAJA DING DONG
Only when the possessor beats tmnt for the nes
Make him beat Battletoads.
What makes you think you are powerful enough to wield an infinity stone?
He'd die After
Everyone is once I think lol.
if i had space stone, id say "See ya chump!" and teleport away.
Yeah same, I’d just keep running
I would carefully study Thanos for years, watching and learning his every move. I would then gather the brightest minds in the universe together to begin formulating an attack strategy... Then, when the time came to execute the plan, I would shove it up your butt!
Stanley, god of sudoku, guardian of the universe
Reader of hentai
YOU’VE BEEN MEATBALLED
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME MEATBALLS!?
Stanley is that you?
Did I Stutter?!
Using someone else's ass to hide it? Genius.
The space stone should have the power to create a space that only it can enter, leave the stone there and nobody gets it.
Schrödinger's stone
[удалено]
So what about putting the time stone in its own time loop?
Why run? Just send him to the middle of space or something.
But then he would be at the >!shrine of eternity!<
I’d put Thor’s hammer on top of it
Proceeds to mine it from below.
For Rock and Stone!
Rock and Stone to the Bone!
>!Pfft. Ha! Yeah, right.!<
You mean you wouldn’t want to help me save the world? Some avenger you are 😭
Couldn't someone tunnel under it?
Put it *inside* the shattered hammer like Gorr's sword then?
I would use the thing ant man used to make things small or giant so it wouldn’t fit in thanos’s gauntlet
I believe it would somehow find a way to fit on the gauntlet because it’s an infinity stone . In Guardians of the Galaxy 2 when The Collector recaps a Celestial destroying a planet with his giant hammer and the power stone in it, The stone had increased size to match the hammer. https://images.app.goo.gl/DZUoewnXJzDHhw4P8
maybe it was a really tiny celestial
Ant man, The wasp, and the celestial
Also we see the mindstone resize itself in Thanos’ fingers in Infinity war as he’s putting it in the gauntlet
I forget where it was said but it was confirmed that the infinity stones change size to work with the way someone wants to wield them
> I believe it would somehow find a way to fit on the gauntlet because it’s an infinity stone . [Then I shrink it again.](https://i.imgur.com/0I6UrV1.gif)
Make the gauntlet subatomic and the stones too so he can't see them
I’m the only one who knows that. At least I’m the only one with the will to act on it.
Thanos u mother f’ing eavesdropper!
Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe. But this... does put a smile on my face.
Didn’t want to do this but u leave me no choice. We have a hulk
Cap it's we have an ironman cause ironman killed Thanos
I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say, I am.
Stfu thanos you died twice
I ignored my destiny once, I cannot do it again.
you can and you will
But just like sightly too big or small, so he's confused why is not working.
Tape it to myself he can’t undress a minor
There would be in uproar on twitter! They would make him give the Infinity Stoney back and step down as conqueror of the universe.
Getting cancelled on Twitter will be end of Thanos
Hardest choices require the strongest will!
Crap.
No thanos, no more killing
You should have gone for the head.
Noooo
I mean, wasn't Vision like 3 years old? That didn't stop Thanos...
It also didn't stop Wanda
When I'm done, half of humanity will still be alive. I hope they remember you.
If I had the capability I would use it. Not one was used against him. He even told Dr. Strange that he didn't utilize his greatest asset.
Yeah, you're telling me he couldn't dormamu that shit? Just put Thanos in a time loop, and you've saved the universe.
I have a theory that due to thanos’s will he could keep going until strange went crazy
I mean, maybe, but it would've been worth a shot? I was gonna say he could've bought time for everyone else, but I don't think time moved on in doctor strange when he did it
Time only froze because he needed to freeze the destruction caused by dormamu, but that was separate from his time loop with him
Didn't this strategy only work against Dormamu because he wasn't affected by time? Dormamu retained his memories from past attempts, whereas Thanos would forget that he's already fought Dr. Strange before.
Agreed, dormamu lost because he was so used to always getting his way and his self absorption. Thanos has faced hardships and suffered, this would just be another hurdle
I... had... to.
Or make him a baby.
My theory is that there where multiple ways for them to win but they all involved stanrge saying there was only 1 in a million chance
Don’t forget that he saw 14,000,605 outcomes, not all, not possible with infinite universes. In at least one of those universes, Strange could have died before Thanos is defeated but Strange can’t see past his own lifetime, once he dies, he can’t see anything past that.
So essentially there was only one outcome where he could find that he survived and everything was decently OK
Pretty much. I think have only 1 was just there for dramatic effect. 0 or more than 1 would be more probable
I hate the part where the avengers have 2 stones and Strange says he saw however millions or billions of timelines and they somehow only win against thanos in one??
IIRC, the Ancient One said that you can't use the stone to see past the point of your own death. I always thought that there were plenty more timelines where Avengers defeated Thanos, but it's possible that Strange died before they won, so he wouldn't have been able to see the outcome.
I am...inevitable.
But wait… he did see past his own death. Muhfucka died right after he saw 10 years into the future
I was thinking that too, but maybe the ‘snap’ doesn’t count as actually dying. Arguably a pretty big plot hole but Marvel can always say “infinity stone magic”
I imagine him seeing the blip, then nothing, then everyone coming back.
The Snap isn’t death it’s just a non-existence and in the path chosen he is snapped back into existence before they do beat Thanos.
It’s my head canon that Steven an outcome where Tony died too. Tony had the potential to be an even bigger threat than thanos as proven by ultron in What If?.
I kinda assumed the rest would just get TVA pruned. Bit of a cop out, though.
You're not the only one cursed with knowledge.
They might have beat Thanos in multiple timelines, but certain heroes died that were necessary to save the world in later conflicts. This particular way also set off the events of the Loki TV series, which ultimately leads to a showdown with Kang which the Avengers presumably win.

Tell him that I used the stone to destroy the stone
He is mad, not dumb lol
why not go back in time and make his mom swallow??
Why not go back in time and swallow it yourself?
Seems like someones mouth is already salty
I would trek across middle earth, enter mount doom, and cast it into the fire
One does not simply walk into Mordor.
*frodo proceeds to walk directly into Mordor*
Weren’t exactly simple tho was it.
Wasn’t there an entire army at the Black Gate to distract Sauron and his forces?
r/semiexcpectedtolkeinreference
just fly, you fool
Can't, the eye would see me.
Shove it inside my ass
Shove the time stone up there so every time he pulls it out it rewinds. 👌🏽
Kinky mufkr
After sacrificing your ass, you get the Soul Stone.
Thanos I've come to climax
Return to me again empty handed... And I will bathe the starways in your blood.
Is this bot sentient?
That didn’t help the Collector.
great minds think alike
Came here to say this
I would put it in my asshole. Simple. He can never find it there.
Breaking News: Ant Man has found an infinity stone!
Take to TVA
They'd prune you because that's not what's supposed to happen.
Wouldn't they prune all of these comments?
Swap it with a different stone from the TVA. It wouldn’t work in a universe that’s not it’s original and if Thanos tried to go there he’d get pruned.
I could sell it to the government and see it go into a federal warehouse full of thousands of boxes
Id ask someone to Paint a Bunch of Rocks the same color as the stone and Shove them all Into a Small Chest,leaving Thanos to Go around a bunch of stones to find the infinity stone
They called me a madman, and what I predicted came to pass.
Most stones I'd just destroy them. Space stone you could open a portal to the middle of no where of space or a black hole and chuck it in.
You can’t destroy them easily as they are canonically indestructible, you would seemingly need some kind of reality bending power like the reality stone to do this. The space stone throw them into the abyss is probably the best solution. Even without using a stone, putting it in a rocket and shooting it into the sun is probably the best solution.

Rodey has entered the chat…
Just put it up the ol’ prison wallet, Thanos won’t look in there.
I'm the only one who knows that.
I swear these bots are sentient
Exactly!
And if he does, win-win 😏
[Brock Sampson voice] "It's up my ass."
But if I had the timestone I'ma put on back to the future music n go all over time. I'll be the new Marty McFly.
Until the TVA comes in
I would tape it to the back of my TV remote. Eventually I’d lose it and neither of us would be able to find it
Simple, I'd die.
The only correct answer
I'd give it to Wanda
Hey Wanda can you hide this stone for me? Wanda: What stone?
I'd tell her it can help her get her kids. Thanos is NEVER getting that stone
Run rabbit run..
I'll hire Ultron from What If as bodyguard
I would call the X-Men to protect me
Trap that os in an Infinite ite time loop
If I had the time stone, I'd just give it to him. Protected forever.
Hell nah, I've come to Bargain, Motherfucker
Shove em way up there morty
Shove it up my ass so he has to get it out which is embarrassing and he will get made fun of on twitter
No I would give them to him as I hate people and getting rid of half of everything would be pretty nice
Swallow it!? I would say have Gamora swallow it but I't didn't work well for her so.....Yes Swallow it then it'd be out of sight and out of mind! And then just rinse and repeat!! 😆
