Was it even possible to write this movie without time travel?

>>Gauntlet like in the comics, is at half power and has no power to unsnap
How else does Avengers Endgame or IW deviate from the comics? Did iron man die in the comics too?

/thread

Yeah, keep the stones around, come up with some way to get the Gauntlet off of him.

When Thanos said
> They're reduced to atoms
I was totally expecting them to
Travel to the quantum realm and reassemble the stones atom by atom

That way, you could still have Time Travel Shenanigans and Fanservice moments , but it would be more of a biproduct of having to spend so much time In the quantum realm as opposed to the directive of the characters

That's how I'd do it, anyway.

It deviates a fuckton, from the comics moviefag. Like, the avengers aren't even a fucking thing in the original infinity war run until like the last 3 issues, the rest is Adam Borelock attempting to not be boring for 6 issues, while Thanos gets cucked by Death.

Yeah. Leave everyone dusted.

In the comics, the Infinty Stone saga is almost completely different.

>The Story begins with Thanos completing the gauntlet and performing the snap

>The Avengers themselves are mere bit players. The biggest thing they do is distract Thanos while Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer carry out their master plan

>The whole thing ends when everyone has fought, everyone has lost against Thanos, Adam Warlock gets the gauntlet at one point but fucks up, and Thanos only loses because he let his guard down around Nebula, who earlier in the story Thanos put into a I-have-no-mouth-and-I-must-scream situation, very nearly (but not quite) completely incapacitating her. She swipes the gauntlet and banishes Thanos's soul to drift in space forever.
Later, we learn that Adam Warlock was
>only using 10% of my power
and lost on purpose specifically so he would let down his guard around Nebula, because he could see into Thanos's soul and saw that Thanos deemed himself unworthy of wielding the gauntlet, and he only needed the outward justification for self-sabotage.

It was pretty epic for its time, but upon retrospect?

It's kinda dumb.

No. You'd have to come up with a different asspull to reverse the damage of Infinity War. Time shenanigans were on the table the second that they decided that Dr. Strange had the time stone.

Yeah, upon trying to destroy the stones Thanos learns that new ones will take their place, so it's a race to collect all the stones again.

>Adam Warlock gets the gauntlet at one point but [purposefully ] fucks up

God that's stupid.
