Many of the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have failed in some form, but it wasn’t until Thanos snapped his fingers in Avengers: Infinity War that each hero witnessed a seemingly irreparable defeat. The Marvels director Nia DaCosta recently suggested that the snap was Steve Rogers’ responsibility; yet, it appears that the failure felt in Infinity War was more of a collective effort. DaCosta feels Steve is to blame since his desire to save Vision’s life set off a chain reaction that resulted in the extinction of half of all life. Rogers’ convictions have always led him to believe that rescuing one person is equally essential as saving the globe. While it is a noble morality, it may have had no place in Thanos’ struggle. However, this isn’t the first time that one individual has been blamed for Thanos snapping his fingers. For the longest time, Peter Quill was the most infamous target of blame in this one-of-a-kind debate.

During the Battle of Titan:

During the fight on Titan, Thanos was tied down for long enough for the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Iron Man to almost remove his gauntlet. During this moment, Star-Lord insulted Thanos and enquired about Gamora’s fate. It was revealed at this point that he sacrificed her in order to gain the Soul Stone. Instead of letting the crew finish the task, Peter assaulted Thanos, allowing him ample time to escape and incapacitate the squad. It’s also feasible that Gamora will have to shoulder part of the responsibility. Because Gamora was the only one who knew where the Soul Stone was, she should have distanced herself from her father. While this may have meant abandoning the Guardians, it could also have given them ample time to devise a better strategy to stop Thanos. However, after catching Nebula, he would have discovered she knew the place. There’s also the quandary of futility surrounding the Mind Stone’s demise.

Thanos would be unable to complete the gauntlet if they had destroyed Vision’s Infinity Stone, according to DaCosta. Thanos would have gotten the Time Stone if the events of the film had continued in the same order leading up to the Battle for Wakanda. As a result, even if Vision’s stone was shattered, Thanos could go back in time and retrieve it, exactly as he did in the film. Granted, he might not be able to if it happened too long in the past, but given the Time Stone’s limited limitations, it’s likely that period doesn’t matter. It’s evident that Avengers: Infinity War is a narrative in which every decision has huge ramifications. As a result, choosing the correct selection is critical. To make things even easier, Doctor Strange affirmed that any decision taken today would result in an overall win. In theory, if Steve chose to surrender the Vision, he may have faced a full loss rather than a partial defeat. It’s tough to point the finger at one individual when the only way to win is a series of bad decisions.
