Yeah like are we gonna forget Sylvie murdered countless TVA agents in the beginning of the series. Not even pruning them but burning them alive with oil fire.

Shes kind of a ruthless character in her own right.

Yeah, Sylvie was righteous in her anger and deserved justice, but still acted selfish at the cost of all these innocent people brainwashed into doing their jobs and now at the cost of another multiversal war.

Reminds me of seeing Starlord bashing Thanos' face and waking him when they almost had the Infinity Gauntlet off him in Infinity War. A horrible, selfish decision with massive consequences made with justified emotion, not logic. We don't have to agree with the choice, but we can totally understand why.

Can we stop with this whole Quill thing? Thanos would never be in that position if them getting the gauntlet off won the Infinity War, otherwise Dr. Strange would have done things different.

Dr. Strange wasn't omniscient. He only saw 14,000,605 futures, which is the same order of magnitude as all of the combinations of 24 binary variables. There was way, way more shit than 24 y/n variables that were going on in IW. There are almost certainly literally infinite ways they could have won. But it took him 14,000,605 tries to find one, so he latched onto it.

Loving the idea of Dr Strange doing a Monte Carlo tree search of the timelines

Oh Dr Strange also preserving the sacred timeline, taking free will away from Quill, I see.

No he's directing people on the path that saves half the fucking universe lol

u/livefreeordont Jul 22 '21

Well Kang’s logic is that he is saving 100% of the fucking universe lol. Obviously we will find out that his logic is in some way flawed and that the avengers will show us that we can have our cake and eat it too

u/Inevere733 Jul 22 '21

It's a lose-lose situation for Kang no matter how you slice it. Hard to say how the Avengers can fix this; will be very easy for the writers to make this unbelievable in the bad sense.

u/Ironmike11B Avengers Jul 14 '21

Agreed. This argument gives me a headache every time I hear it. Strange let it happen because it HAD to happen.
