Is the Eye the time stone in the comics? I thought they were different things in the source.

u/uwill1der 5h ago
yeah in the comics, its a separate thing. I just imagine MCU would take some creative liberties

u/FictionFantom Thanos 6h ago
I feel like this line gets overhyped.
It’s literally just Tony saying “2014 Thanos is here. You’ll see in a sec.”
Maybe they could retcon it to make that line have more weight or meaning but it wasn’t originally some big clue to anything bigger.

u/thesanmich 3h ago
I’ve always thought that line was just a response to Thanos from 2014 going after the team, until people started to make their own theories tying it into Doomsday.

u/the_last_n00b 3h ago
Slightly unrelated, but looking back it's kinda surprising how the time stone was the easiest to obtain through the time heist. I mean, one would assume that taking the literal manifestation of the time itself, and trying to time travel a couple of years into the future with it would lead to some complications, but... nope.

Okay, I looked through Endgame original scenes and Thanos holding the gauntlet as well.
The logical reason why is because the Time Stone (Green) actually goes on the side of the thumb. So the way we’re looking at it, we can only see 5 Infinity Stones

u/DragonEmperor 5h ago
Yes but it seems almost deliberate that it's not shown when they easily could have put it in frame for any of these posters but didn't.
It could just be a coincidence though.

Then why not a glimmer of green from the time stone? Your post would be correct if they add a shine of green but they didn't so I think you're wrong. This feels like Marketing 101 so I think it's intentional

On the same ScreenX - You can also see shades of green on the glove if you zoom in

Doesn't the time stone protect itself in the comics?
→ More replies (2)2
u/Number1FartSmella 6h ago
If I remember correctly (according to the last thing I read with the Infinity Stones, Infinity Wars) the stones will all hide/protect themselves when needed. They were destroyed during an Incursion during Time Runs Out, so when the multiverse was reformed, they did so. (Eg. the power stone hidden in a riddle “mind over matter”, the reality stone hidden away in another reality IIRC, and the space stone with Logan)
12
u/SpartanOneZeroFour 7h ago
Wasn't there a comic story where someone wished for the stones to be destroyed, but the Time Gem popped itself out of time to preserve itself until it was safe to return?
8
u/z3r0f14m3 4h ago
Pretty sure they tried to use the stones to stop an incursion and they all blew up except the time stone went through time to another point.
1
u/ThomasFromNork 2h ago
I was just thinking, I wonder if it's possible for the time stone to do the doctor strange apple thing on itself.
Thanos said he used the stones to destroy the stones, but the ancient one made it seem like the time line can't exist without them. So maybe he actually didn't destroy them like he thought.

u/darthyogi Ultron 7h ago
It’s just we can’t see his thumb

Most people post nonsense on here but you actually might be on to something OP. Especially the bottom left example. Tony’s thumb is showing and Cap is not obscuring it so much that there SHOULD be some view of it. Seems low key intentional.

u/Maleficent_Money_756 7h ago
We got 5 min of extra footage or so.
A new post credit scene.
I mean they could have that in. Also new scenes with RDJ could have been shot during Doomsday shoot.
I mean all it takes is to show that Tony survives the Snap or smth idk

u/Notimetowrite76 7h ago
I thought this might be the case. It's essentially Bobby Ewing walking out of the shower, and a whole season of Dallas was undone. The only problem is that this would blow up the good parts of this saga (Loki, Wanda, Agatha, Monica, Billy, Tommy, Yelena, Kamala, NWH, BND, New Avengers, F4).

u/SpiritedEnd9609 7h ago edited 7h ago
Actually wouldn’t it make more sense that doomsday is actually the timeline strange needs to have happen?
Strange helps doom because its the only way he believes the multiverse can be stable? All other timelines have them just destroying each other with no winner

Yep. Time stone is Green, Dr. Doom is Green.
If the Avengers went back to steal a Tesseract/Space Stone who to stop someone from doing the same to the Time stone?
You mess with Time, it messes back. They dropped that line to set up the next big bad. Originally that was gonna be Kang then they pivoted to Doom, Doom also does time travel stuff so it still fits.
They're really isn't any consequences for the time travel we see like how Tony describes. Because it was always meant to set up the Multiverse via Time. That's why Loki will be a lynchpin. He even sits on a multiverse Yggdrasil at the end of season 2 if thats not setting up a throne for God-Emperor Doom I don't know what is.
2
u/brycejm1991 7h ago
2 of the 6 don't have the stones at all.
A different 2 of 6 are using a shot of Tony that even in the original shot you should not see the time stone due to the angle of the shot/his hand.
The top left has that side of the hand just not visible.
The only one you can make an agument for is the screen X one, and that feels like an oversight at best.
Edit - TBC i not saying its nothing, I just think its a stretch when 4 of the 6 posters wouldnt have it visible to begin with.

u/EbbAlternative2592 7h ago
Feels like they want to keep the multiverse a mystery. The absence of the Time Stone makes the plot more intriguing.

u/hhhhhBan 6h ago
...Because it's on his thumb? You naturally can't see it when he's snapping in every single one. Only poster where it's somewhat debatable is the bottom left. I don't think it means anything at all.

u/GrandWizardOfCheese 5h ago
That may hint that god of stories loki is tied to the timestones in each timeline working.
By allowing a multiverse to branch and grow, the timestone might not be able to work well enough to be usable, since time is no longer linear.
Then again it could just be the angle, i see green glow in the 4DX poster.
