A fresh fan theory posits that Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) fateful Snap in Avengers: Infinity War might have had deliberate exceptions amidst its seemingly random eradication of the universe. This theory, gaining popularity on Reddit, highlights a pattern among survivors and their ties to Thanos’ collection of specific Infinity Stones, suggesting strategic decisions behind what seemed like an unbiased purge. Despite Thanos claiming his plan would wipe out half of all life impartially, fans have spotted what they suspect are intentional choices determining who would endure the devastating attack.
The theory that Thanos may have maintained a twisted sense of honor, as suggested by the survival of specific characters after the snap, gained significant attention following a Reddit post by user Business_Reporter420. In essence, this user noted a striking pattern among Snap’s survivors: Loki sacrificed the Space Stone to save Thor, Gamora sacrificed the Soul Stone to save Nebula, and Strange sacrificed the Time Stone to save Stark. According to Business_Reporter420, these characters survived the snap, leading to speculation that these survivals were not mere coincidence but evidence of Thanos adhering to the deals he made for the stones during Infinity War. This observation ignited a broader discussion about whether these survivals hinted at a more complex aspect of Thanos’ character even amidst universal genocide.
As a cinephile delving into the intricacies of Thanos’ character, I pondered over the theory proposed by Reddit user Silvanus350. “Could it be that Thanos was acting unconsciously?” his comment sparked. This led to a more in-depth exploration of Thanos’ psyche, where tangential_quip posited an intriguing counterpoint. “I believe Thanos had a meticulously planned strategy,” he argued. “Despite the flaws in his reasoning, I am convinced that the Snap unfolded according to Thanos’ design, right down to the exceptions for planets he had previously visited.
Was There a Deeper Meaning to the Survivors of Thanos’ Snap?
The manner in which Thanos carried out his survival plan may hint at a more thought-out strategy on his part, as suggested by Reddit user Sylar_Lives. This theory posits that Thanos intentionally kept the original Avengers team alive so they could observe the extent of their failure. In other words, it seems that Thanos didn’t only aim to achieve cosmic balance but also wanted Earth’s strongest heroes to see the results of their inability to thwart him.
This point of view encourages fans to reassess significant instances from “Infinity War” using a fresh perspective. The Reddit user Realistic_Analyst_26 points out that Doctor Strange’s actions in the fight against Thanos on Titan were strategically timed, as he delayed Thanos to ensure Ant-Man (Scott Lang) was in the Quantum Realm at the exact instant of the snap. These insights imply that while Thanos may have thought he controlled the situation, other characters might have been subtly influencing his decisions to achieve their own objectives.
Critics of this theory argue that it highlights inconsistencies within Thanos’s philosophical stance. A Reddit user, bokmcdok, commented: “It’s really a jumbled-up situation when you look closely, which is why Thanos is incorrect and deceitful.” They question whether he ever considered himself as one of the potentially ‘randomly’ chosen. This criticism directly challenges the core beliefs attributed to Thanos. If he truly believed in universal fairness, his deliberate choices would expose his supposed impartiality as a facade, concealing self-serving intentions instead.
