Avengers 4: Thanos will be defeated by THIS devastating blow – Guess who is the key?

Thanos has six Infinity Stones. He just wiped out half of life across the universe.

Who can possibly stop him? Perhaps that question should be what can stop him.

Everyone has been concentrating on time travel theories and alternate dimensions but the filmmakers have already said that nobody has come close yet to guessing the full story.

A powerful new argument uses the following evidence from Infinity War to explain exactly what will bring down Thanos in the most devastating way.  

Revisiting the movie it is clear how Thanos’ behaviour changes drastically.

At the start he is utterly relentless and also takes clear pleasure in his killing those in his way. 

Ebony Maw telling Cull Obsidian to “let Thanos have his fun” when fighting the Hulk. The Mad Titan almost gloats as he tortures Thor physically and emotionally before killing Loki. He smiles when torturing Nebula.

Everything changes with the Soul Stone.

It isn’t just his sadness over sacrificing the only person he loved, Gamora. Mantis says he mourns for her, but his behaviour across teh board has changed.

Red Skull said the soul stone comes with knowledge. Redditor user 8isak1 argiues that the stone “gives the wielder insights into the emotions and motivations of those he comes into contact with.”

Red Skull immediately knows that Thanos isn’t crying because he can’t complete his mission, but because he loves Gamora. 

After this scene, Thanos never shows any joy in killing again. He feels compassion for Tony Stark on Titan. He takes much longer than he should to defeat Captain America in Wakanda. Why?

He can feel their pain, their suffering, everything they have been through, everything they fear to lose.

Thanos struggles against Wanda, who must be giving out overpowering grief after killing Vision.

The theory adds: “He isn’t struggling because Wanda is powerful, since he has 5 goddamn infinity stones at this point. He’s struggling again because her grief is the same grief he feels when he has to kill Gamora. They both had to kill loved ones to complete their mission. He can’t bring himself to easily overpower her because he’s again reminded of Gamora.”

After the snap, he looks around confused and dazed. I think he can actually feel the connection to half the souls in the universe being severed at once.”

Infinity War has always been following the arc of Thanos. I really don’t want Avengers 4 to just be a rehash of the battle on Titan but with more heroes. It would be extremely disappointing if Avengers 4 was Infinity war but this time the Avengers overpower Thanos. I think it would be a more powerful statement for the avengers to stumble upon Thanos and just finding a broken, hollow man. Maybe the final confrontation happens in Avengers 4 and Thanos is forced to put on the gauntlet in the latter half of the battle, but it’s too much for him to handle. No matter what the Avengers throw at him, he is easily defeating them, but the entire time we see him being overwhelmed by all the sorrow he feels when he wields the gauntlet. Maybe the Russo brothers would constantly have him being pulled into the soul stone world where he is haunted by the people he killed. So he shatters the gauntlet, killing himself in the process, and separating the infinity stones believing that no one can safely undo the snap without him. Thanos’ arc is over, and instead of just being defeated, he has become the ultimate hero in his own arc and sacrifices his own life for what he believes to be universal salvation.

This completes his arc and shows that even though his viewpoint was flawed, it was completely selfless. He truely believed that what he was doing was right and he is forced to kill himself to ensure the snap stays permanent. He worries his will is not strong enough to resist the temptation of undoing the snap for the rest of his life, so in a final heroic act of selflessness, he kills himself, believing it is the only way. This also ties into the fact that he said “I was the only one with the will to do what is necessary”. He always believed the culling of the population should be dispassionate, but it is literally impossible now that he has to bear the burden of all the sorrow in the universe.
