(Thanks for nothing, Doctor Strange.) Although Vision looks pretty dead, we don’t know how far Shuri got in her attempt to separate his consciousness from the Mind Stone before she was interrupted - but she did grab the holographic file before her lab was attacked, so perhaps Vision can be resurrected in Avengers 4 without his life being tied to that pesky gem. Unfortunately, now that Thanos has the Time Stone, he simply turns back time so that he can snatch the Mind Stone from Vision before Wanda can stop him, leaving him with all six stones.

Luckily, Scarlet Witch is one step ahead of him, and despite her heartbreak at needing to sacrifice the android she loves, Wanda succeeds in separating the Mind Stone from Vision and destroying it before Thanos can reach them.

Vision May Have SurvivedOnce Thanos retrieves the Time Stone, he hotfoots it over to Wakanda to take the final Infinity Stone from Vision. Never tell us the odds! While we don’t know what Stephen sees, it’s a safe bet that the key to defeating Thanos relies on Tony being alive for some reason, even if that means the Sorcerer Supreme has to sacrifice himself (and billions of others) to give Tony and the other surviving Avengers a fighting chance somewhere down the line. Out of millions of potential scenarios, Stephen tells Tony that they only win in one. But why would he make such a huge sacrifice, after previously warning Tony that protecting the stone is his only priority? For the answer, we have to rewind a bit to before Thanos shows up, when we see Doctor Strange looking ahead to see “all the possible outcomes” of their battle with the Mad Titan. Thanos easily takes down all of the heroes and is about to strike the killing blow against Tony Stark when Stephen Strange offers Thanos the Time Stone in exchange for sparing Tony’s life. Explaining That Strange ChoiceAfter their initial plan to separate Thanos from the Infinity Gauntlet is ruined by a grieving Peter Quill, who’s furious that the big purple dude sacrificed Gamora to retrieve the Soul Stone, all hell breaks loose on Titan.
