Avengers: Infinity War Writer Discusses Beating Thanos, Forgets the Obvious Answer

If Avengers: Infinity War proved anything, it's that Thanos is an unstoppable force that no one can take on by themselves (aside from Thor). The mad titan was able to kill half of Asgard with only one Infinity Stone, proving that he was already quite the beast by himself. No one knows how they will be able to beat the Mad Titan when Avengers 4 rolls along next year, though one of the Infinity War writers has some ideas.

Christopher Markus, one of the co-writers of Avengers: Infinity War, discussed taking on the villain in the film's artbook. Considering how Thanos has all of the Infinity Stones in his Infinity Gauntlet, there's no way beating him will be easy. Markus does suggest an interesting strategy; taking away one or more of Thanos' stones from him. I'd suggest the Time Stone so he won't be able to reset reality.

"They've been misused by people who didn't understand their true power. And now that the real master of them, Thanos, has shown up we can see what they actually do. The problem is, as you can imagine, as you gain control over these things, your story just goes haywire because why are there any stakes for the man who can control time, space, reality, your mind, your soul and power? He can reset as many times as it'll take. So you have to build in a lot of bumps in the road or maybe keep one stone away from him for long enough in order for the thing to have any dramatic structure at all."

However, Markus seems to be ignoring how Thor's new hammer, Stormbreaker, can deflect the full-fledged might of the Infinity Stones. During the film's climax, Thor throws Stormbreaker at Thanos and it completely deflects the full might of all the stones without any trouble whatsoever. Sadly, Thor "didn't go for the head" and Thanos was able to snap his fingers and change reality.

Expect Thor and the rest of the Avengers to get their revenge on Thanos, albeit with a cost. It can't be too bad if it's bringing back Spider-Man and Loki, two of the only confirmed characters returning in Avengers 4.

Avengers 4 comes out on May 3, 2019.
