![]() So, even though Doctor Strange knew ways in which Thanos could have been successfully defeated, he nudged Iron Man towards the one which rid Earth of the Mad Titan and the Avenger at the same time, allowing the rest of the team to be the protectors of the planet as well as of the Universe. Maybe in some possible futures his genius and manic drive to protect Earth ended up turning his goodness to villainy and he became the Superior Iron Man, a feared villain in the Marvel comics or he might have reactivated Ultron thinking that he can put him to good use. But when he went ahead and observed these futures, he must have seen how Tony and his creations continued to create more supervillains and bigger monsters. Thus the theory postulates that when Doctor Strange searched through the outcomes of the different ways they try to defeat Thanos, there were many that resulted in the Avenger's victory. In a way, the reason they become supervillains is all connected to, and often because of, the Avenger. The Iron Monger, Ultron, Helmet Zemo, Aldrich Killian, Vulture, or Mysterio, all of them were either Tony's creation or pissed because of something he did (or his creations did). Whether it was Anton Vanko, Obadiah Stane a.k.a. If we look back at the history of the MCU up until now, some of the major villains were, in a way, a creation of Iron Man. According to the redditor, the idea of the Avengers not winning in any way except Iron Man sacrificing himself seems like an absurd idea as the real motive was to get him out of the way along with Thanos. In other words, as well as thanking Strange for his foresight, we should also be tipping our hat to Thanos for being the terrible bastard that he was.And that's why we can't help but almost nod our head in agreement to what Reddit user u/Omegared says. The Emergence happens as planned shortly after Infinity War and that would be that for Earth. Take away Thanos' actions and Ajak probably doesn't choose to betray Arishem and these events never happen. While he might have assumed he'd take over as leader, it ends up being Sersi, and when she learns the truth, she's the one to lead the majority of the Eternals to fight back against their intended purpose. ![]() Without the Snap, she wouldn't have given that speech to Ikaris who, in turn, wouldn't have fed her to the Deviants. Yes, she might not have been around to stop Tiamut, but her decision sets in motion a crucial series of events that leads to the Emergence being stopped. ![]() ![]() If the Avengers had just notched up a regular victory against Thanos, there's no guarantee that Ajak would have felt as compelled to betray Arishem. Ajak might already have been swaying towards helping humanity, but the fact she namechecks Thanos and his defeat in her speech to Ikaris shows it was important to her decision. Had Strange helped the Avengers defeat Thanos back in 2018, then the Emergence would have happened shortly after the events of Infinity War. Even the Avengers couldn't fight back against a Celestial bursting from the Earth's core. "Īs retcon theories go, this one holds together better than most as there is no doubt that without the Eternals, Earth is pretty screwed. "Strange purposely gave the stone for the Snap to happen to delay the Emergence, and later on bring everyone back for the Eternals and Ajak to see that Earth is a planet that is worth betraying Arishem. "I think Strange saw the future where they beat Thanos on Titan and the Snap didn't happen but later on the Emergence happened," they write. The new Marvel theory from Reddit user LuckyMe111 suggests that Strange saw Ajak's change of heart coming – and that's actually the main reason he chose to let Thanos win and set this timeline in motion. The cost of Arishem's design – it's not worth it. This planet and these people have changed me. I have seen them fight and lie and kill, but I have also seen them laugh and love. "After I let you all go, I travelled the world, living among them. But the people of this planet brought everyone back with a snap of a finger," she notes. "Five years ago, Thanos erased half of the population of the universe. Ajak explains to Ikaris that it was the Avengers bringing back half the population that confirmed her belief that humanity was worth saving. ![]() She tells Ikaris (Richard Madden) about her decision to save humanity, defying "millions of years" of service to Arishem, the Prime Celestial. ![]()
