Every time a new MCU series or movie is announced, the internet gets flooded with new fan theories. Amongst all of them, theories about Avengers are most common.

While these fan theories attempt to predict and assume the adventures Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to offer, the real adventure shows up when there develops a link between the stories of past and current, but in a new way.

With that being said, there exists a bit of doubt that Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War represents the pinnacle of MCU and now, every single detail and Easter egg have been picked over for a long. Moreover, fans will never stop assuming and developing theories about what exactly could happen in such films – that’s pretty much ‘normal’ in the Marvel Universe.

These are the top 4 fan theories about MCU that makes Endgame and Infinity War even better –

Tony’s Sacrifice In Endgame

Everyone has seen how Doctor Strange knew everything about how the Avengers are going to defeat the Mad Titan. In this regard, it is quite clear that Strange knew already that Tony Stark will have to sacrifice his life, but didn’t tell him until the last seconds. Keeping this in a loop, a fan theory claimed that Stark’s sacrifice wouldn’t have occurred if he knew it already. As a result, despite sacrificing his life to reverse Thanos’ snap effect, he’d have invested time to think a way out of it.

The Winnable Future

The events of What If…? and Loki echoed a lot of doubt on Doctor Strange’s assertion. As per Strange, there was only one way in which the Avengers could defeat Thanos and save the MCU. But this apparently falls short when one accepts the fact that Doctor Strange was asserting through a limited field. Thus, it was his speculation that echoed the possibility to survive the tale out of all those 14,000,605 endings. A fan theory, in this regard, echoed that there could have been more possibilities, which were there, but out of Strange’s field.

Thanos’ Sacrifice At Vormir

It was Thanos’ decision to sacrifice Gamora to get the Soul Stone in Avengers: Infinity War. It was perhaps one of the most tragic scenes of the movie, especially when Thanos was viewed as the protagonist. But as per a fan’s theory – Thanos already knew the price that he had to pay at some point in his life in exchange for the Soul Stone. And that is why he adopted Gamora so that he could use (sacrifice) her.

If Only Thanos Knew About The TVA

After acquiring all the Infinity Stones in Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos echoes “I am inevitable,” right before the snap. But a fan theory highlighted that his statement could have been true (or maybe it is) if only he knew about the Time Variance Authority. That’s the only case where his “inevitable” line would have been well justified.
