Doctor Strange claimed that there were 14 million possibilities and only 1 possibility would result in a win and that giving Thanos the time stone was "the only way". I've been saying that was really awful writing and now it's been confirmed that I'm right. Another thread on this board asks the question: Why didn't Doctor Strange chop Thanos' arm off? Chopping off Thanos' hand would've definitely resulted in a winning scenario. Also, after Thor hit Thanos with the axe, Thanos himself told Thor that he should've gone for the head. So if Thor had chopped off Thanos' head, that would've definitely resulted in another winning scenario. So there was in fact more than 1 winning scenario, meaning that Doctor Strange was bullshitting when he claimed that giving Thanos the time stone was "the only way". And that also means that I'm right in saying that the writing was really awful. So my 4 out of 10 rating for Infinity War is appropriate. They are still in that 1 winning scenario. The point of what they did on Titan was a distraction. From everyone except Dr. Strange they were actually trying to get the gauntlet off. For Dr. Strange, they were keeping him there for a bit longer so he wouldn't go get the mind stone before all the heroes were in the same spot. Even if they cut his arm off, he would not stop trying to get the stones. Also, how do we know a Dr. Strange portal can cut his arm off? It worked on Cull Obsidian, but he's not Thanos. You do know this is the 1st part of 2 movies right? And you should never ever criticize a movie for terrible writing considering the movies you like.
