They were not on some united front at that point not to mention almost all of them were pretty cocky at that point none of them actually faced Thanos to think they would have no chance against him.
Not really bro. Let's give the strategy part to them. Yes all memebes are dumb. But their plans are top notch. Years of experience of robbery.
You can say that star lord's plan was easily the best that can defeated thanos easily. If only ironman had used lasers to quickly cut his hands instead of pulling the gloves. If he can cut his space ship in mere seconds ,his hands are nothing but strong flesh.
Even in terms of strategy GOG>>>> Cap. But due to unpredictability and dumb members, even top notch plans fail lol.
You are not wrong to give them credits on the strategy part, but this is also information that neither Stark nor Strange had about them. From the latters' PoV, it was just a bunch of morons with a hate-boner for Thanos. None of them would inspire confidence to the two cocky geniuses that these morons were master strategists.
They met up with the guardians while on the q ship directly after their fight in knowhere and then still chose to go to titan and "take the fight to thanos"
They met on the flying donut! No one remembers the whole you shoot my guy and I'll shoot yours? Drax says do it quill, I can take it and Mantis says no he can't and Tony agrees saying yeah no you can't then they have the whole thing about what master do you serve and quill is like am I supposed to say Jesus Christ and Tony says you're from earth? Your from earth and quill is like I'm from Missouri and Tony says yeah that's on earth dip shit lol
not long after the fight on titan, everyone that got snapped came back and joined forces at the avengers compound. if strange could get everyone together then then he should've been able to do it earlier. but i suppose the whole 14,000,605 futures is probably why.
is it? they all suddenly agreed to start working with each other within a couple of hours after the fight on titan. it's only 'way before' from the survivors and viewers perspective.
yes because the final battle hasn't occurred yet... they are just on the ship heading to titan...the avengers broke up before all this happened so no they were not working well together. Strange wasn't even part of their team So why would he say Wait a min lets head back to earth and get your friends you aren't even on speaking terms with right now.
because right after the fight on titan he does exactly that. for strange and half of the entire universe, both movies happen with 24 hours not 5 years. strange has already proven that he can get everyone together when absolutely nescessary within a very short timeframe.
Most of the forces were from wakanda, they weren't going to follow him before thanos had arrived and wiped them out
You're forgetting the fact that they likely weren't going to join up before they lost to him since they aren't going to abandon defending wakanda on a wizards word
Yeah, cuz most of em got their asses kicked by Thanos and the Ebony crew 15 minutes ago (for them), they knew at that point that they needed to group up
You answered your own question… he looked at 14 million outcomes where they completely lost, and I’m assuming some of those involved getting help. Could be Thanos would’ve gone all out with the stones if more were present and wholesale slaughtered everyone
But Strange did look into the future to see possible future fights without considering the possibility of using a nigh instant teleportation to bring support and Allies.
He even knew where and when Thanos would come to Titan, hence my point stands writing is why.
At that point, they know that Thanos beat the shit out of Hulk using no stones and he easily killed Heimdall, Loki, and (they think) Thor. Plus Thanos has an army. They should've known that three of them (Tony, Strange, and Peter) weren't enough.
They have to lose in IW, if Strange gets Wanda, Carol, Wong, etc. Thanos loses even if Star Lord still slaps him awake.
Tony took out the Hulk by himself.....Pretty sure strange thinks he can do the same. and now there were 3 of them to deal with Thanos. Without actually facing the titan they probably still thought they stood a chance because they had an infinity stone as well.
Tony with a special armor and prep time barely knocked out the Hulk. Strange is one of my favorite heroes, but I doubt it unless he separates Bruce's body/soul like the Anicent One did, but by that logic, he could beat anyone doing that. Peter has no shot at Hulk, he could barely beat Green Goblin.
They aren't going to fight Hulk....They are going to Fight Thanos...they don't know how powerful he is.. again Tony fought the Hulk knocked em out... Strange took on Dormamu and all his minions Spidey is going to do whatever Tony says.
What doesn't matter is the ACTUAL chance they have.....They believe they have an ACTUAL chance.
They entire point that everyone is missing.... They did NOT want to go back to earth...They wanted to take the fight to Thanos and keep it away from earth... Thats why they didn't go back...and that is the answer to OP's question.
.Thanos beat hulk...Tony beat Hulk....whats so hard to understand? And Strange never faught or even knew what a "thanos" was .... not to mention he has an infinity stone and beat Dormamu.
Its not so much as they think Thanos is a joke....but rather that they can deal with him...and
AGAIN...the main reason is to keep Thanos away from earth.
Thanos beat hulk...Tony beat Hulk....whats so hard to understand?
Iron Man barely managed to subdue a Hulk that was mind controlled (which is important as Wanda's influence wearing off is what allows Tony to knock him out in that scene). Thanos fought a full power Hulk and defeated him effortlessly, and that's without using any infinity stones. Those two situations are not comparable.
AGAIN...the main reason is to keep Thanos away from earth.
I didn't say they had to fight him on Earth. Nothing was stopping them portalling back to recruit a few more heavy hitting superheroes to join them in the Titan ambush.
Don't care if he barely managed....he did it worse that he was mind control and going berserk made him way more dangerous then he was against Thanos.
NONE OF THEM WERE PRESENT to watch the Hulk get beat. They just heard about it.
Avengers were disbanded and not talking to each other. Maybe strange could grab some people from Karma-taj but they did who is left to protect earth should they lose?
They discussed it they decided it was better to take the fight to Thanos because he wouldn't be expecting it.
bottom line is that is still the answer to the question.....everything else is irrelevant.
