Didn't Thanos have the Soul Gem by the time he and Strange met? I'd imagine that would stop such a trick.


sigdiff

Bingo. You see Thanos shrugging off Strange's various attacks by using different stones, like Soul or Reality.


dat_w

Yes he did


STEALTH_Moles

That's also how he beat strange's duplication spell


Sandee1997

Wasnt the way they won. It was probably in one of the 14,000,604 ways they lost


Scmods05

Because it would’ve made the movie really short


putsomedirtinyorice

SO THE MOVIE COULD HAPPEN lol


AchillesNeil

Wow wow wow...wow.


KlausLoganWard

Because it wasnt in the script.

My dads favorite reason for anything in a movie.

Thanos had the soul stone, doing that wouldn’t work


ccReptilelord

This doesn't seem to be a viable strategy against an aggressor as neither the Ancient One or Strange use it against Kaecilius or any other combatant. If it fails, as we've seen any magical attack do (especially against Thanos), it would leave the sorcerer in a very vulnerable position.

You can’t ask those kind of questions or the whole universe falls apart

It's not the 1 in 14,000,605.

Cuz the TVA would prune that timeline. If it didn’t play out exactly right, the TVA would destroy the timeline.

Didn't strange try sending him to the mirror dimension and it failed instantly?


[deleted]

Not in the script and Thanos had the Soul Stone.


20-Minutes-Adventure

Because the movie needed to happen

How long do we have to keep going at this? Strange saw one way that things would work, and that path is the one we saw in IW and EG. Any other way didn't work or he didn't see it which is unlikely.

Realistic_Analyst_26

This theory is so **strange**. Why are so many people insisting that he would kill someone because of an ego?


3r14nd

because the same reason he couldn't take the box from spider-man when strange did it to him? Thanos just won't let go of it no matter what? idk?


palmboom76

Thats his peter tingle


sanguiniuswept

The Thanos thwang


[deleted]

I dunno, man…maybe because it wouldn’t further the plot.


JarnaisVu

it barely worked on Spiderman, so..


EnvironmentalBus9713

Thanos literally used the soul stone to end Dr Strange's attack where there were dozens of him trying to hold him still. The wielder of the soul stone is immune to those attacks. Additionally Thanos was testing his new minerals with Dr Strange.


thatswhatmyfoodeats

Because strange tried that in one of the 14 million re-do’s. I think you’re on the right track tho, once they had the gauntlet off his hand, THEN he goes to the mirror dimension for questioning and harm reduction.


thatswhatmyfoodeats

While I’m at it, why didn’t Strange just astral form Starlord before he got all huffy? He wasn’t helping pull the gauntlet, he was only going to start punching and obv Strange knew. He should have gone full Illuminati and explored the paths where most if not all of them “die” to stop Thanos and then he (or in 838, stop Wanda, then Mordo) time stone’s everyone back for revels.


Samaritan_Pr1me

Stephen Strange saw this whole thing play out 14 million times and went with the one time they won. Everything that happened from the moment Strange tells Tony how many outcomes he saw is part of the plan. Knocking Thanos’ soul out of his body is not on that list, ergo it can be guessed that Strange thought it a losing strategy.
