Doctor Strange: "There are 14 million ways this could go but only 1 of them is a winning scenario for us. Yes, I know what is the 1 winning scenario for us out of 14 million scenarios. But I'm not going to tell you, Tony Stark, or anyone else what that winning scenario is. Instead, I'm just going to disintegrate into dust and take my knowledge of that 1 winning scenario out of 14 million as a secret to the grave and let half the universe die. Good luck beating Thanos on your own!"
This is why I give low ratings to MCU movies. The writing is just so awful.

It was 1.4 million, not 14.
Anybody want to bet that the winning strategy was to let Thanos get the time stone and win?

So giving the time stone to Thanos and letting Thanos kill half the universe is a winning strategy? Yep. Because it will lead to... something... and the something will allow the surviving members to defeat Thanos and use the same power to bring that half the universe back to life. Or something. But I'll bet you anything you like that letting him achieve his goal was the winning strategy. |

Like I said, really awful writing! |

If Doctor Strange told them what the 1 winning scenario out of 1.4 million scenarios is, why would they do anything differently? If someone told you "These are going to be the winning lottery numbers", why would you not choose those numbers? When Biff had Gray's Sports Almanac, do you think Biff placed any bets that he knew wasn't going to win? Doctor Strange supposedly knows the 1 winning scenario out of 1.4 million scenarios that would defeat a madman from killing half the universe, but he's going to keep that 1 winning scenario out of 1.4 million scenarios a secret all to himself and take that secret with him to the grave? Like I said, really awful writing! |

Since we don't know what this winning strategy is, it is futile to speculate on the hows and whys of it. Or unimaginative viewing, anyway. Why not ask why Thanos didn't use his mitten power to just double the amount of resources in the universe instead of halving the number of people? Then you'd have an actual complaint. |

But he didn't want to share the winning strategy with anyone. Probably because he didn't want anyone else to take credit for saving the universe. So he took the secret with him to the grave. |

So you're saying that if they were told what they should do to achieve the winning scenario, they would do something different instead? Why would they do something different if they're told what they should to achieve the winning scenario? If you're given the correct answers to a test before the test, why would you give different answers when you take the test than the correct answers that you've already been given before the test? Like I said before, really awful writing in Infinity War! |

I thought he said 14 million. And maybe the one way was exactly how it ended which was why he did it.

Had to laugh -- when not face-palming -- at some of the MCU fanboys on certain forums (not here) who trashed the living hell out of BVS: DAWN OF JUSTICE for "killing" Superman, only to resurrect him in JUSTICE LEAGUE... and yet they love, love, love INFINITY WAR.
...Even though some of the Marvel heroes "killed" in it are already on tap for future stand-alone adventures -- that will NOT be prequels to INFINITY WAR.

Don't bother. he is just repeating stuff from the Marvel boards where it was explained to him using examples including BTTF, Groundhog day and even the butterfly effect. He still doesn't understand. It's as if he has never seen any sort of time loop, time travel fiction before. He also doesn't understand how dumb it is accusing MCU of bad writing for something that hasn't and may not happen |
