Infinity War Dumbest Character of IW :D

[Bren]

Now let's ignore Dr. Strange's 1.4m different outcomes. This is an individual who doesn't know those outcomes and still jeopardises the win/survival etc

Starlord: Couldn't keep his head and helped 'awaken' Thanos when it seemed they'd get the gauntlet off. What a tool!
Whether he gets points back for having the balls to try kill Gamora himself is up to you.

Eitri: Depending on his understanding of the gauntlet (that I assume is up there based on his and Thor's discussion), he tried to bargain 300 giant dwarves' lives by granting an already monstrously powerful tyrant the kit he needs to become practically invincible. As Rocket would say, "YOU MORON!"

Gamora: "Peter, kill me if Thanos captures me. Promise me!!"
Gamora later: "Stop torturing my sister, I'll tell you where it is so you can gain the virtual omnipotence I'm so apparently terrified of!"
Weak hearted dumbass. Starlord had more guts than you! Seriously???

Thor: "The gauntlet makes him near omnipotent. So I'll aim my shiny new axe at his chest instead of chopping his head (or if he's feeling gentle, his arm). Even Thanos remarks on it.
So maybe it wasn't a choice and aiming an axe isn't easy, you do nothing while Thanos is talking, clearly not dead yet, and still connected to the gauntlet. At least try chop his arm off now???? Err, no.

Wanda/Steve: While I'm iffy in my knowledge of what the Mind Stone brings to the gauntlet game (Thanos never goes after it himself and he did lend it to Loki so maybe not as important?), the heroes still think it's pretty hectic - So just destroy it. Yes, poor Vision, but they virtually acknowledge he could survive without it. Worth the gamble?

Thanos: He had so many stones, surely he could have done more with them? Or maybe they are not 'all powerful'? I'm stretching here but it did seem he almost intentionally nerfed himself. He puddle-sliced Drax and Mantis on Knowhere, why not do that to bothersome gnats like Spidey, Starlord, IM etc?

I might not actually believe all the above because it's a crazy movie and not everything can be justified, it's just a fun thought of who was the dumbest

 

[DalekbusterFitz]

I don't think any of them were particularly dumb. Gamora and Star Lord's actions were driven by compassion, Eitri felt threatened, Thor - well, I think anyone's natural reaction when trying to kill someone would be to strike them in the heart, Thanos literally wins and I don't get your point with Scarlet Witch and Captain America. Scarlet Witch did destroy the Mind Stone in Vision, Thanos just brought him back to life and took the Mind Stone from him.

 

[BigSams50]

Strange bargained with Thanos and Thanos honored it. I wouldnt call him dumb, just maybe Thanos felt like being a dick that day.

 

[Drizzle]

I did love a lot of Star-Lord's lines in this ("What, am I supposed to say Jesus or something?", "Grimace"), but him losing his cool on Thanos was a dumb move. We've seen him do it before, like when he shot Ego to hell after finding out he killed his mom, but the stakes weren't as high at that moment. Getting the Gauntlet off should have been the priority. He could have even helped Tony and Spidey get it off. Once it's off and Thanos is properly subdued, THEN you interrogate him about Gamora. But I get why it had to happen.

 

[Guts]

If Thor is going to throw his axe it's going to be easier for him to aim for the center rather than the head when he only has one eye.

 

[JeetKuneDo]

Not close. Starlord. He was at his dumbest/most selfish in the very moment when Thanos was about to be defeated. And he knew exactly what was at stake....half the life in the universe. No excuse for that level of selfishness.

Yeah, because nobody is allowed to feel compassion when they lose a loved one...

 

[007]

Star lord hands down.

I also wonder we he didn't do what he did to them on knowwhere on Titan either, seemed strange.

 

[JeetKuneDo]

Yeah, because nobody is allowed to feel compassion when they lose a loved one...

Never said anything close to that.

He can feel anything he wants. But how about not directly contributing to killing half the life in the universe? That's pretty much the worst thing any character has done in any movie to date.

 

[MbJ]

Eitri seemed less like being dumb and more like Thanos acting somewhat out of character. It's established several times throughout the film that he lets half of his victims go, and he genuinely seems to have no malice or enjoyment in killing people. And he's true to his word, as we see during the fight on Titan, where he spares the lives of the Avengers and Guardians after Doctor Strange gives up the Time Stone.

So the fact that he made a bargain with Eitri and then slaughtered his race anyway seemed kind of weird. I can only assume this is because he didn't want them to be able to forge a weapon that could potentially ruin his plans.

Yeah I'm going to go with that. Just for ease of mind.

That leaves one inconsistency...
Wonder if Thanos knew Asgard was destroyed. Didn't seem like he spared any Asgardians.

 

[Knight-Tale]

Gamora should have commited suicide but that's too dark for a marvel movie
star lord is an idiot so expect him to act like an idiot
Thor really should have hit thanos in the head or cut off his arm but he got cocky and arrogant

Strange should have destroyed the time stone but hey apparently he saw all the outcomes and this was the best they could have hoped to achieve

 

[007]

Actually ganora, all she had to do was not go to where thanos was and he would never of got the stone.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Leave Star-Lord alone dammit, dude's been through enough.

 

[JeetKuneDo]

She tried.

 

[CoherentChaos]

Yeah but, with the Space stone I think that would only delay the inevitable.

Vision did explain that Wanda's powers originate from the mind stone, so it is possible that she would be able to destroy it. Even though the operation of the time stone uses similar magic sigils, it's not like all magic originates from the time stone.

 

[SkyIsBlue]

Starlord.

 

[Frankeh]

StarLord. Put his emotions above the greater good.

 

[Arachnerd]

Leave Star-Lord alone dammit, dude's been through enough.

People are allowed to criticize his decision, even if was understandable.

 

[psylockolussus]

Star Lord.

 

[Spiderine]

I totally understood when Star Lord got peed about Gamora and his emotions took over but the moment he flew up and started bragging about his "plan" he was being a total A hole while they were in the mist of trying to get the gauntlet.

 

[legendkillin]

Not sure why no one blames Nebula. She was the one that spilled everything not Thanos. If she just kept quite or told Quill later the plan would have worked. She knows how Quill reacts and loves Gamora. She did nothing but blurt out she died and stood there. Nebula did not attempt to pull the gauntlet or hold Star Lord back.

 

[SPO2 Dalisay]

I caught something else. That Dr Strange had run through over 14 million different battles and they only won a single one. As he was going to dust his last words were something to the effect that this was the only way

 

[jr24tw]

Star-Lord, hands down.

I found that a weird choice by the writers considering he already had the blood of thousands if not millions on his hands after GOTG2. And all because of him 'wanting a daddy' so he ignored all the red flags about Ego.
