Did Dr Strange see all possibilities?
One of the many meme-able scenes from Avengers: Infinity War sees Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange look into the future 14,000,605 times in order to find every possible scenario in which the Avengers could face off against Thanos, and what the outcome would be.
Can Doctor Strange defeat the ancient one?
The Ancient One was approximately 500 years old by the time of her death, giving her a massive advantage over most sorcerers as she’d trained and mastered her skills for centuries. The Ancient One convinces this new Doctor Strange to defeat his counterpart, telling him that he’s the only one powerful enough to do so.
Can Doctor Strange tell the future?
The only reason Strange was able to see this future though is because he was brought back to life from Hulk’s snap. As explained in Doctor Strange, sorcerers cannot see beyond their own death. That’s why Strange had to live through each of the 14 million futures until he found the one where the Avengers won.
Did Dr Strange save the Avengers?
During the final act of Avengers Infinity War, Iron Man was about to be killed by Thanos on Titan. However, Doctor Strange willingly gave up the Time Stone to spare Tony Stark’s life. As a result, Thanos managed to collect all six Infinity Stones and snap away half the universe, including the Sorcerer Supreme himself.
Did Thanos fear The Ancient One?
The theory posits Ego, Odin, and The Ancient One as three of Thanos’ greatest fears, and he waited until all of them were dead to make his move. Of course, this was before time travel was introduced, so while the Ancient One was able to return in Endgame, Thanos didn’t know that was possible.
Why did Dr Strange not use the Time Stone against Thanos?
5 Answers. In universe, because Dr. Strange saw all 14+ million possible futures and there was only one that led to victory for the Avengers and co–the one he took. Presumably taking any other path, including going back to warn the others, would lead to one of the futures wherein Thanos “won” forever.
