How Thanos Won 14,000,604 Times - Finally Revealed 

"As long as there are those that remember WHAT WAS, there will always be those that are unable to accept what CAN BE"

Thanos won 14 million times because he kept his mind on the goal. Be like thanos

So you’re telling me Thor had 14 million tries and he didn’t aim for the head once?

Something you didn’t consider about Tony being willing to sacrifice himself one last time, is that he had a family now. Before he had nothing to lose, but after he knew if he sacrificed himself, he wouldn’t be there for them. Of course he had to, and he knew it because Dr. Strange sort of pushed him by hinting that this was the one future in which they won, because if he didn’t they all would lose.

I said this very thing as I watched Endgame the very first time in awe. Thanos went from trying to save “life” to controlling it. In that moment he changed from an antihero to a villain and that’s why he ultimately lost. I thought the movie makes this pretty clear.

Thanos won 14 million times because the mouse never accidentally released Ant Man

I can't believe Thor didn't go for the head 14 million times.

Tony had much more to lose in Endgame, and Strange heavily implied that his sacrifice was needed, which is why he didnt tell him directly... he may have tried to avoid it.

Now consider this for a moment: in the event of an infinite number of outcomes, 14 million is an insignificant number of them. While Strange only saw 1 outcome where they won, perhaps there were billions of other possibilities that he missed.

Thanos: 14 million wins Avengers: 1 win Avengers: “know your place, trash!”

Marvel: "write that down, write that down."

In Wanda's vision version, Cap: "You... could've... saved... us. Why... didn't you... do more!" Tony seemed to have survived in that version.

Great theory! The main objection I have to it though is Dr. Strange's final message to Tony. When Stark looked at him while they were in the heat of battle with Thanos, Strange slowly lifted his finger in a way that clearly indicated "this is the one thing I was talking about". Tony got that message and sacrificed himself to defeat the Titan. So, at least to Strange, the "one" reason for Thanos' defeat wasn't a change in his mission or focus, it was what Tony had to do. And remember, while destroying the Avengers was suddenly a priority for him, I don't think his overall objective had changed. He still wanted his "grateful universe", one "teaming with life" and thriving. He simply saw the Avengers and all those who remembered the old days as yet another obstical to this and was willing to "shred the universe to the last atom" in order to recreate a more perfect and harmonious one. Even though his "means" had adapted to his new threat, his "end" was still the same. And after all, isn't that classic MCU Thanos? Ends justify the means? A perfect universe at the cost of half its inhabitants...OR... at the cost of its complete destruction and reassembly? THAT is ultimate Thanos craziness...it's the logical outworking of his twisted vision. Slaughter for peace. Thanos was never really kind or merciful...no more than any other lunatic, even in the real world. Hitler really wanted a prosperous happy Germany. Mao really wanted a worker's paradise. Thanos really wanted a balanced and happy universe. He would just get an extra kick out of this one battle because of how much they got in his way. Lastly, I agree with you that Tony's actions in previous movies would make it hard to imagine him not being willing to get his hands dirty even if it cost him his life. BUT, there is one extremely powerful reason for the post-blip Tony not to want to do this. We're way past Cap telling him he's not the guy who makes the sacrifice for the team. He's proven that he can do that. But he's not just "a guy" anymore. He's a DAD. His death isn't just about his own personal sacrifice at this point. Now it's about sacrificing his entire family and his daughter growing up fatherless. She was his reason to hesitate in going all in on the time heist initially. He would leave Pepper, he would leave his kid, he would leave behind the sense of fulfillment that his machines and sexual conquests never gave him. He would leave behind his greatest creation...his home. This was so important to him that he was willing to live in a world where Thanos had won if it meant keeping this picture. For him, and in connection to the theme of Infinity Wars, this was the ultimate sacrifice. In Thanosian reasoning, the greater the sacrifice the greater the victory. So, would there be only 1 universe out of 14 million where he was willing to leave behind the dearest loves of his life to save the loves and homes of the rest of the universe? Yep, I can see that 100% "Did you beat Thanos?" "Yes" "What did it cost?" "Everything"

Imagine being the one version of yourself that's a failure

Just imagine, If Thanos snapped in Endgame, the end credits scene would be, Thanos and his crew eating Shawarma.

I feel like it’s absurd that Strange only saw 14 million possibilities. Out of the infinite number of possibilities that might have happened, 14 million is nothing, so my question is: if he had seen an infinite number of possibilities, would there be another ending to endgame? and if so, what would it be? could it be one without Tony having to sacrifice himself? it’s haunting my mind🥲.

This is a great video. It's fine to assume that Thanos changing his exact goal is a factor to contribute in the victory of Avengers. But I choose to believe that the combination of possibilties required more elements for the desired solution. For example - survival of the right set of superheroes with intellectual,physicial and cosmic properties to revert the doing of Thanos. It is hard to imagine that the result of the snap by Thanos vanished the same characters in every possibility. It's arbitrary as far as I can think, because if it were Thanos making a choice about survivors, he'd perhaps not choose the original set of Avengers.

Thanos lost because of internet lag.

Maybe this is the only reality that the rat released ant man lol

My theory has always been that there were Infinite Outcomes and Dr. Strange only saw the 14,000,605 outcomes, so as many times as Thanos wins there is an equal amount of times that the Avengers win due to infinite different outcomes. It honestly makes it feel much more realistic than The Avengers being on the one timeline that Dr. Strange saw.

Cool vid man! Never thought of it like this!

Out of 14million times, Thor didn't went for the head... smh.

"Now i know your still not convinced" Dude, i was convinced when i found your channel 6 months ago.

It has actually everything to do with the time stone, out of those millions of times only once does strange give up the stone, this results in the ancient one giving Bruce the time stone when he goes back in time. He tells her that strange gives thanos the stone willingly and convinces the ancient one to give him the stone. If strange had kept it Thanos would have gotten it anyway and Bruce would of never gotten the stone from the ancient one. I find it more reasonable that strange would have tried to keep the stone then Thanos changing his mind. I could see Thanos changing his mind almost every scenario realistically

That is actually a pretty brilliant theory. It made sense before I saw this video, but you dove in, now I can appreciate how much of a threat he was to himself. Like most of the top diabolic villains, they kind of kill themselves, but Thanos, got out of his own way to accept his own death because he truly was a hero in his own mind which was divided betwixt being the "frieza" and the "goku" at the same time. I love it.

Actually the 1 time they won was only because the mouse walked over the van controls the right way to bring back Scott while the other 14 million he didn't 😂

So basically, if the mouse didn't activate the quantum realm machine. Thanos won

Hay I want someone to make a video abut how Thanos learning everything he will ever do and changing his mind could’ve been supposed to happen

2:08 "Now, I know you’re still not convinced." No, this actually makes perfect sense. I haven’t watched the rest of the video yet, but at this point, I’m thinking it’s because it’s the only scenario which the TVA would not be cool with happening. Since they were ok with Thanos’ original snap and the Avengers going back in time to restore what was lost. Both in their own way had the greater good in mind when doing what they did, whether each were right or not about what they did. 2014 Thanos’ intentions, however, were no longer in thought of the greater good.

The point of Tony being ready to sacrifice himself more than once.. Just got me! 👍🏻🙌🏻

It’s the rat. The rat is literally the hero.

Thanos be like:I Lost to A Mouse

Bro i am never bored of your videos keep it up!

Only if Dr. Strange just utter the words of “Thanos, I’ve come to bargain.”

TCL: Y'all might be tired of endgame videos We: Some people move on But not us, Not us.

I like to believe Strange just got unlucky and the first 14 million were all the failures but if he kept going the next million would be successful but he just gave up looking once he found 1 win

imagine winning 14 million times and the one time you lose they make 2 movies about it

Everyone's a gangsta until Doctor Strange comes to bargain.

2019 thanos: i am inevitable 2014 thanos: write that down write that down

Doctor strange was too afraid to mention the one with Bully Mcguirre 🤣

We never get tired of the endgame content. I be rewatching these videos from time to time lol

*Thanos dies* Thanos: And I took that personally

Infinity war Thanos : Hero still after being a villain. End-Game Thanos : Just a villain.

Hey The Canadian Lad can you release your theory on my thanks lost I’ve been waiting for the longest 😅

in endgame, when thanos from 2014 finds out he succeeds. why didnt he just wait four years, let things play out like they did in infinity war, and then restart the universe? he probably did that at least once in an alternate universe.

When he said Endgame released almost 2 years ago.. I felt nostalgic.. Damn like it's been 2 fucking years..

If Yondu was here in Endgame, Thanos would get his little purple ass kicked.

"endgame came up 2 years ago" Me, watching it 2 years later: What the actual fuck?

Respect for Doctor Strange he played his role very nicely in that 1 win out of 14 Million outcomes

It actually makes a lot of sense. When someone is angry, things tend to go wrong more often than not

Strange only saw 1 win because the TVA keeps resetting the timeline.

Well done Canadian lad, I was wondering if anyone else saw that.

Dr. Strange saw 14,000,605 different outcomes of the coming battle. He was asked "how many do we win?, and he responded "one". Nothing else was revealed. There is also ONE sacred timeline. So if anything, out of the 14,000,605 possibilities, Dr. Strange saw one outcome that was the sacred timeline, and 14,000,604 outcomes that show the TVA stepping in because those outcomes went against the one outcome that is the sacred timeline. This is why Dr. Strange says "it was the only way" during the wedding scene in Multiverse of Madness, because it LITERALLY was.

"hey everyone. I'm the canadian lad...." These are the golden words..

Plot twist: Canadian Lad was the real writer.

If there is no Hawkeye the avengers always fail

I always thought that TVA destroyed the other 14M timelines. Therefore, Dr.Strange only see the 'Endgame' route can save his timeline.

There was a second way they would've won against Thanos as well, if Thor went for the head.

There were actually 5 possibilities. 1. Thor goes for the head 2. Nebula doesn't break the news to quill like an idiot till the gauntlet is off. 3 Quill doesn't fuck things up when the gauntlet was almost off 4. Quill kills Gamora without melo drama. 5. Antman goes inside thanos and grows big to tear him out(this is everyone's favourite. Not thought by me either so credit doesn't go to me) but i think this isn't possible as thanos has the reality stone. 6. The one we saw.

Thanos was probably fighting the celestials and kang too 😢. I love how smart Thanos was. He turned his daughter into a robot that records everything. The guy was always thinking ahead.

Thanos: I hope they remember you stark 30min later: as long as there are those who remember

I genuinely think Thanos is one of the best villains I've seen in quite a while, his story, his goal, his plan and his execution is elite.

Thanos: (takes a piss) CanadianLad: This is actually a metaphor for how Thanos looked down on the greed of living beings

I do think this is reasonable, but I also think it's cause of how unprepared Thanos was. 2018 Thanos had seen everything and knew everyone's skills and abilities. 2014 Thanos was still observing and hadn't seen it all, which was evident when he told scarlet witch, "I don't even know who you are." He'd never seen her in action before and went in head on, which is why he almost lost against her. Thanos was always like Tony in the sense that whatever they saw, they adapted to their problems and opponents, but when Thanos switched his goals like you said, he threw out all his opportunities to watch and view more carefully

I’ve got a better theory. Continuity errors. They only had enough Pym particles for each of them to go 1 round trip. So how did Ant-Man have additional Pym particles to change size during the end game battle?

Plot twist Thanos never dies he changes his vision and became Canadian Lad

I thought this was gonna be a long ass video with 14 million ways he won.

Being a JJBA fan I know the importance of thinking when you fight and when you get irrational an immortal being that cant die and has an IQ of 400 get trapped in space by some random 16 year old with sunlight magic

Hulk used the Infinity Gauntlet to change the future, but he wasn't snappy enough...

The point where you said Tony would've sacrificed himself more than once was good observation 👍👍

my theory: the avengers already lost in one movie so they had to win in the next one.

Starlord got pissed that many times, Thor didn’t go for the head that many times, Ironman didn’t know how to snap his finger that many times

He won so many times because Dr. Strange always went a little further into the future after any other scenario- and the world was destroyed within a few years. This is the only version where the Eternals change their mind and deviate from their mission as a result of the THREE SNAPS.

“Despite the movie coming out almost two years ago.” No, it only was one... OH MY GOD, IT’S ALMOST BEEN TWO YEARS! WTF?!?!

thanos always win because the rat didn't press the button that pull out ant man

Good one Canadian lad, you are actually on something. Also I believe this is the only time line when the lady sorcerer supreme gave the time stone willingly, most of the out comes they wouldn't have come close to time hiest as well;as she said she made a mistake. And in what if the watcher see to the last detail before imprisoning Zola and kilmongar saving the multiverse. So Dr.Strange would have seen this to the very detail.

I can't believe Thanos litterally Snapped 14M times

I will never get tired of you talking about Endgame. I can do this all day.

in simple words: Thanos lost because he took personal

Counter theory: this was the only universe where a rat stepped on the button that brought back ant man

Jesus Christ every time I rewatch these movies or watch videos like this I always catch little things like that and it elevates the experience. I'm so incredibly lucky that I was able to see both of these movies in theaters. This kind of universe, the build up over the decade will never be replicated again in cinema history

2014 Nebula: They suspected nothing 2014 Thanos: The arrogant never do Boy did those words came back to bite him

Plot twist: There was one more way of winning but dr. Strange didn't chose that because he was dying in that.

Thanos won 14 million times because in every one of those instances, Tony Stark died. That's why he sacrifices himself only once. Dr. Strange exchanges his life for Tony's, and before he turns to dust he holds up his finger saying "one" to remind Tony of that one possibility.

HOW DARE YOU SAY TONY STARKS SACRIFICE DIDN"T MATTER!? IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!!

You guys are forgetting that Dr. Strange said “this is the only way” when he surrendered the Time Stone to Thanos. I think the reason they won was based solely on the fact that he gave up the Time Stone, but he also saw that Tony was going to die. That was the one way to victory that he foresaw.

Russo brothers: “ oh that’s why “

The avengers won two times in doctor strange 2. The other 838 doctor strange killed thanos

He went from being an Antagonist (but a Hero in his own eyes) to a typical Villain, and villains always lose.

Thanos never lies, but this time he did to his own destiny.

Thanos: I am inevitable *steals the stones sneakily* Drax: and I am invisible

This is a great theory, I never thought of it that way

Truth is Dr. Strange just really, really, really hated Tony and picked the one timeline where he dies and convinced him to shoot for it.

"He's not the Thanos we deserved, but the Thanos we needed" " And when the chips were down, Thanos totally become a new person" I love all the Dark Knight lines.

It can all be boiled down to Strange saying, "If I tell you what happens, it won't happen," meaning Thanos failed because he jinxed his own destiny by seeing into the future. So, really, you can think about it in the sense that only 1 in 14 million scenarios had Thanos being confronted by his own eventual legacy and thus cancelling out the events. Which is a testimony to just how ridiculously powerful Thanos really is. Only the universe itself was able to stop him.

Personally if I had written it I would have Dr. Strange say something like, 14 million loses, 6 wins, three of which the Earth is destroyed in the process. This would leave open a lot of possible story lines.

Avengers 1: Tony Was Ready To Die Avengers AOU: Tony was also ready to die Avengers IW: Tony Almost Died Avengers EG: He Died 😓

Also that thanos found out about his future, like doctor strange said “if I tell you what happens, it won’t happen” to stark. And thanos found out by the memory’s of nebula, and then changed his mission

The reason Thanos wins in 14 Million scenarios is because Thanos learns from his mistakes

It makes sense... Thanos goal was to make "the universe better" but once he saw he died.. he realized he didn't make it better he signed his death warrant and in doing so wanted to kill the people that killed him before they did ultimately changing his end goal.. and changing his fate
