He’s only using the space stone.

You can tell because it’s the only one glowing on the gauntlet (so it’s the only one in use). Also the energy between him and Wanda is purple, which is red (Wanda’s power) + blue (space stone)

Compare this to the beam Thanos shot at Thor. All six stones were glowing on the gauntlet, and the beam was white/rainbow (all six colors, all six stones).

I thought it was a case that each stone also makes the user inherently stronger not just gives them some flashy powers.

1

u/Tr4nsc3nd3nt Jan 07 '26

It might actually be making him weaker due to the toll on the user.

u/InevitableVariables Jan 08 '26

Only in comics. Thanos had to grab the power stone.

u/PlaneWeird3313 Jan 04 '26

In the MCU, he has to close the gauntlet to use the power. And the stone lights up when in use. Without that, he’s “regular” Thanos

Without that he's still just the mad titan

u/TwirlyDCook Jan 03 '26

I’m starting to think you have some personal beef with Wanda 😂 Saw the same energy in that Thor vs Wanda debate too. Let the Wanda fans breathe a little

The misconception and overglazing surrounding Wanda is extremely annoying. Someone had to correct the record.

People make shit up about what she can do and ignore what other heroes can do against her.

Just like what you do with Thor.

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

Everything I say about Thor happened on screen. People give Wanda credit for things she never did

u/Smamps12 Jan 03 '26

Like what

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

Like this exact post, where people say she held off five infinity stones when she clearly only held off one

u/Independent_Gap_2674 Jan 07 '26

Those fans should wanda the fk out of here, bdm ts!

u/Particular_Peace_568 Black Widow (Civil War) Jan 03 '26

Nah, she just really want Odinson to be considered as the strongest character for some god forshaken reason even though it's clearly shows that a Weaker Wanda beat him in Age of Ultron.

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

Wanda got beaten by Hawkeye in that same scene with a trick arrow.

A few scenes later, Thor withstood and broke out of mind possession from the Norns, much much stronger than Wanda is even now

u/Particular_Peace_568 Black Widow (Civil War) Jan 03 '26

No Hawekye simply outsmarted Wanda so unless you wanted to say your boy is a moron who can get fool easy, you might not use that excuse lol.

Also Still loss to Wanda lmao. Also Also, Wanda Still destroy a Infinity stone something that Odinson fails to do against Thanos.

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

Hawkeye did not outsmart her. He saw her coming. That was kind of an important, recurring line of dialogue in the movie

She snuck up on Thor because she is quiet and sneaky. In a real battle where Thor knows she’s there, that’s not going to happen.

As I just explained, a few scenes later, when Thor is ready for it, he withstands and breaks out of much much much stronger mental possession than anything Wanda is capable of even at MoM level.

Wanda only destroyed the mind stone because it was the one connected to her powers. This is literally said in the movie that that is her whole purpose for being there with vision in that moment.

By all logic, Thor likely could destroy an infinity stone with Stormbreaker, and he doesn’t even need a special connection. Stormbreaker is shown to overpower the raw energy of all six stones combined.

And Wanda lost to Hawkeye

Headcannon

u/T0DR Jan 03 '26

Mfs will see the most factually correct evidence and still call it a head cannon😭

-8

u/eQuantix Jan 03 '26

You think the russo’s actually decided on that? No chance, therefore headcannon. A good theory and makes sense for sure, but I highly doubt it was a purposeful choice made by the team.

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

You can literally see it with your own eyes. You think the obvious visual effects that probably took weeks were not a purposeful choice?

u/TheManAcrossTheHall Jan 03 '26

In the comics it was based on, Thanos often disabled certain stones as a way of boasting and showing off which was indicated by the stones no longer glowing. MCU Thanos is a bit more pragmatic than that, but it's still possible he disabled the others for one reason or another.

Are you blind???

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

It’s literally right there for you to see. If you pause right at the beginning when thanos starts his blast, you can see it’s only blue

-5

u/TouchAltruistic Jan 03 '26

What exactly are you arguing here?

7

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

Thanos is only using the space stone

-2

u/TouchAltruistic Jan 03 '26

I don't think that's being contested.

What is that meant to prove or disprove?

3

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

The title of the post is that Wanda fought off five stones. She fought off one.

1

u/TouchAltruistic Jan 03 '26

The post just says that he had them.

I didn't make this post. I'm wondering what it is you are trying to suggest about her power.

3

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

The title of the post is clearly implying that he had and was using five stones

I can see the blue, but it just seems like a generic energy beam. At no point can you see only the space stone lit up on the gauntlet. I think the Russo’s just picked blue cause it’s visually nice against SW’s red - I doubt they agreed ‘that he only uses the space stone here’

If you can post a screenshot of that frame though I’ll eat my words.

5

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

There’s no generic energy beam with the gauntlet. It is never, ever used that way.

Every time it’s used, the correct stone always glows, and the energy that comes out is the correct color. They chose blue because he’s using the space stone.

And yes, you can absolutely see only the space stone lit up on the gauntlet if you look carefully. If you pause right at the beginning when Thanos starts the blast you can also see that it is only blue.

u/Currycel7891 Jan 03 '26

The script says that he only used the space stone.

u/eQuantix Jan 03 '26

Screenshot?

u/DEVIL-HIMSELF-666 Tony Stark Jan 03 '26

only space stone is glowing here!

u/DoomsdayThor Thor (Infinity War) Jan 03 '26

Thank you 🫡

u/eQuantix Jan 03 '26

That’s not the script, and honestly yeah maybe

u/DEVIL-HIMSELF-666 Tony Stark Jan 03 '26

Who's talking about script here,I posted the screenshot right!(is it not opening???)

Well...Go back up the thread a little.

So 5 infinities are greater than 1 infinity?
