He wasn't. Or, at least, the rock obviously was only around the suit.
StreetStrider2025-11-21 20:05
He wasn't solidified in rock because he was obviously solidified in stone.

It is very nice of Thanos too. Gently push him into the wall instead of just killing him as he's about to kill half the universe in 5 seconds.

TimedRevolver2025-11-22 00:35
Wild to think of, but Thanos only fought people who either attacked him first or kept the stones from him.
He wasn't actively trying to kill the Avengers or Wakandans.
Frankie_T90002025-11-22 00:55
What about gamorras planet
Amaakaams2025-11-22 01:17
That was before his quest for the stones. He tried to go world to world and cull half the sentient life.
Delicious_Bat_62272025-11-21 22:05
totally the rock was just around the suit and it bugs me

this is literally the only answer that makes sense, it just went around the suit

the rock did not wear the suit

So what happened to the rock that the suit displaced ?
Can the infinity stones destroy matter ?
CaptHayfever2025-11-22 00:39
They can move it. Space stone.
Alert-Ad70972025-11-21 19:53
Effect was most likely temporary
crazycoolname2025-11-21 19:53
If you watch, you'll note Thanos deliberately defeated but did not kill the avengers. He was a purist and wanted the "luck" of the snap to decide who died and did not. So he simply phased Banner into the rock to detain him.
EvilPete2025-11-21 19:57
What about Vision and Loki?
OnlyNameICouldGet2025-11-21 19:58
And Heimdall
EvilLibrarians2025-11-21 20:07
That was a minion who killed Heimdall I believe
StellaRamn2025-11-21 20:23
No it wasn’t. Thanos took the weapon from one of his minions (Corvus Glaive) and impaled Heimdall himself.
NobodyQuiteLikeMe2025-11-21 19:58
Those two got in his way. Vision isn’t a living thing anyway
quakeroatsboatsman2025-11-21 20:00
They all got in his way
Federal-Captain11182025-11-21 20:03
Well to get the mind Stone, unfortunately Vision had to die. It's not like Thanos was just going to sit and wait for them to remove it. Loki failed already once, Thanos was not pleased with him already. Then he tried to trick him?
Even Strange and Stark who were threats he didn't kill.
N7Panda2025-11-21 20:06
One could argue stabbing Tony in the gut was an attempt to kill him, but generally I agree with you. If he had wanted to just outright kill all the Avengers, he probably could have pretty easily.
Federal-Captain11182025-11-21 20:08
Meh, I think if he wanted to kill Stark he would've after Stark sat down from the stabbing. Thanos could've easily finished the job there. I don't think he was interested.
vinny4242025-11-21 20:11
He was about to kill him with a blast(I assume he'd have used a blast) from the glove. And then strange bargains for Tony's life.
He raises the gauntlet and points ot at Tony. I'm not 100% sure but I think some stones may have even lit up.
Jet-Let46062025-11-21 20:21
They were. He was 100% going to kill Tony until Strange intervened.
mlnd_quad2025-11-21 20:31
He literally says “I hope they remember you.” That pretty much confirms his intentions in that scene
Kgaset2025-11-21 20:56
He was absolutely going to kill Tony until the deal was made. One could argue he was posturing, but he knew who Stark was and how he foiled Thanos before.
StellaRamn2025-11-21 20:22
He didn’t kill Stark because he gave Strange his word that he’d spare his life.
Odin0432025-11-21 20:04
He was feeling more remorseful after killing Gamora.
He didn't need to kill them at that point, so he let the snap decide.
Purrmymeow2025-11-21 20:17
How dare you? He has soul.
StarlightZigzagoon2025-11-21 20:21
Yeah but that soul was stoned.

Gsusruls2025-11-21 20:38
How did Loki get in his way that was different from all of the other avengers getting in his way?
Jeffffff45872025-11-21 20:45
PeaceMaker_IXI2025-11-21 19:59
Vision was a means to an end, he needed his stone.
He has personal beef with Loki for failing him then trying to stab him.
Jet-Let46062025-11-21 20:22
Also Loki ws part of him cleansing the Asgardians.
Treacle_Pendulum2025-11-21 20:50
Thanos killing half the population of a bunch of worlds and then halving their population again with the snap sure was a dick move.
ArcDraco2025-11-21 20:56
In his messed up mind, he probably thought the Asgardians and any race he already halved would be spared from the snap.
HolyMolyOllyPolly2025-11-21 21:01
Why wouldn't he? If his will when he snapped his fingers was "purge half of all life in the universe I have not already balanced myself," isn't that what would've happened?
SamwellBarley2025-11-21 20:58
Yeah... Now that you mention it, he is kind of a dick
Rare-Secret-46142025-11-21 21:25
Omg I can’t believe I never noticed this before!
Stride3452025-11-21 20:50
For one, I’m not Asgardian
TotallyNotAMarvelSpy2025-11-21 22:34
I always saw Loki dying because he was Thors brother and only one could survive. Perfect balance and all.
greenroom6282025-11-22 00:24
also, thanos probably didn't consider vision as "alive."
StinkyStangler2025-11-21 20:00
In the beginning he was acting like a warlord trying to accomplish a mission, once he gets the time stone he knows he’s essentially already won so there’s no reason to kill anybody else, he will be halving the population anyway and will just let the stones handle who lives and dies.
As for Vision, as far as Thanos is concerned he’s a robot, not a living being. Just a really smart robot that happens to be powered by a stone.
Ok-disaster20222025-11-21 20:07
Also after the soul stone he has a better appreciation for loss
Slayer_of_Goblinns2025-11-21 20:01
Loki was personal. Vision had to die for him to get the mindstone.
Earth5132025-11-21 20:05
Both were mostly rage/irritation induced.
Wanda had effectively destroyed the stone which led Thanos to have to rewind time to get it.
He didn't look furious per se but it must have been at the very least an annoyance due to the risk of the time reset not restoring the stone or simply the annoyance of having to intervene in that way.
You can tell he takes some pleasure in killing him after.
Also, likely he didn't perceive it as murder but more him plucking one of the stones from its current housing unit.
Similarly, Loki messes with him, attempting to betray him when handing him the tesseract and going for his daggers.
Loki had also irritated him due to his failings during the attack on New York and he's frequent betrayals.
So again I'd perceive that murder as out of irritation towards Loki.
The other battles you can see he barely needs to spend any energy so Wanda, Loki, and the surprise wound by Stark would have been especially impressive to him or at least intriguing.
I'm more surprised didn't kill Mantis when her sleeping powers almost got the drop on him, or Pete when he grabbed the glove.
But I think that's more because he nearly lost so his focus was on snapping more than anything else knowing they'd lose as a result. Where with Wanda and Loki it was still early days so he may have perceived them as a threat and acted accordingly
Ysara2025-11-21 20:09
Vision couldn't be helped. His death was a necessary part of attaining the Mind Stone.
Thanos had a beef with Loki. He very possibly would have killed him anyway for failing his task on Earth.
SinginGidget2025-11-21 20:13
There was no way to get the stone from Vision without killing him, so he saw it as having no choice. And Loki failed him. I think he saw killing Loki as retribution and justified.
StellaRamn2025-11-21 20:22
Vision isn’t a living being and Loki had failed him too many times before.
morphballganon2025-11-21 20:35
Loki was Thanos's former associate who turned against him immediately after swearing fealty. This is after Loki failed to take New York.
Vision was not alive in Thanos's view, and thus taking the stone wasn't killing anyone.
Photoguppy2025-11-21 20:39
Their deaths were.....
...
......
Inevitable..
micksandals2025-11-21 20:00
Didn't stop him from killing Loki. Or Heimdall. Or half of Thor's ship. Or all of Eitri's mates.
crazycoolname2025-11-21 20:02
My personal theory is that he didn't respect Heimdel nor Loki. Vision is obviously different as he needed the stone.
siestarrific2025-11-21 20:04
I don't see a reason why he wouldn't respect Heimdall. The in-universe reason why Heimdall was killed is because he defied Thanos even in defeat. Thanos would have let Tony die if Dr. Strange hadn't intervened.
Federal-Captain11182025-11-21 20:04
Those all had reasoning behind them though.
enlightnight2025-11-21 20:05
Loki was a former member of "Team Thanos" so I'd imagine this was a disciplinary action for direct betrayal(s).
Heimdall's power is too convenient and potent - the "all-seeing" combined with Instant teleport is enough to thwart his search for the rest of the stones, knowing that he couldn't use or manipulate it.
OreoYip2025-11-21 20:06
I figured it was because Thor and Loki did not give up the stone so he chose violence to get what he wanted. I do think Loki was more personal though for switching sides.
Joe-Schoen2025-11-21 20:04
Yet he killed half of the asgardians on the ship? And half of many other planets
AgentMV22025-11-21 20:18
He killed some Asgardians in the opening scene. Heimdall was also skewered.
Riegn002025-11-21 20:28
I think while your concept is somewhat correct, I don’t think he did it for the stones to have a choice. I think the idea of what he did was to show how insignificant they all had become with the level of power he has.
AceofKnaves442025-11-21 20:31
I remember being so convinced that when Thanos acknowledged Tony by name on Titan that that was building to something. Tony was the only one he acknowledged and knew by name.
Crazy_Yak85102025-11-21 20:59
Doesn't he choose who dies one by one, and needs the time stone to do it all at once/stay fresh?
rob_harris1162025-11-21 19:53
You're asking the right questions.
Federal-Captain11182025-11-21 20:05
Serawasneva2025-11-21 19:55
I’m assuming the idea was that it only cut into the suit and not him, but it obviously covered where he would be, so I guess the answer is just it wasn’t animated very well.
In universe, there isn’t really an answer that makes sense. But then Thanos’ reluctance to kill avengers was a bit silly in general, considering how fast he was willing to kill Heimdall and Loki.
Vadersblade2025-11-21 19:59
There’s some speculation that Thanos actually kills Bruce, Cap, and potentially other Avengers when he arrives on Earth. Then when he uses the time stone to bring back Vision’s stone, he brings them back as well.
I’m not a subscriber to this theory, but it has good arguments for it.
MaterialPace88312025-11-21 20:03
I've heard that theory. It's not a good theory.
Federal-Captain11182025-11-21 20:05
That's a terrible theory.
j1h152332025-11-21 20:34
No it doesn’t
cooscoos32025-11-21 19:59
The rock was only around the suit. As we saw with other effects, like with Mantis turning to springs and Drax breaking into blocks, the effect was temporary and he would have been released when Thanos left.
Unknown_0212025-11-21 20:05
This is the most logical reason
siestarrific2025-11-21 20:06
I still remember being shocked when he did that to Mantis and Drax and then feeling a wee bit of disappointment when they snapped back to normal once he left. I thought it was a harbinger for how Thanos was going to cull the heroes over the course of the movie.
GoodShark2025-11-21 21:14
He did it with the reality stone, didn't he? So it just changes the current reality. As soon as the stone isn't effecting that person or thing anymore, it goes back to normal.
sam84482025-11-21 21:17
I had always assumed the reality stone literally changed reality, not that it was a temporary change.
I feel like the infinity stones were built up to be very powerful and turned out to be not that powerful, which was a bit disappointing.
GoodShark2025-11-21 21:23
Individually they aren't THAT powerful. They're essentially on par with some of the stronger heros.
But all together? They wiped out half of the galaxy.
Competitive-Employ652025-11-21 21:59
idk about that the purple stone could literally wipe out whole planets
jtfjtf2025-11-21 23:16
I view the stones as something more like a fuel source and then the device that is made for them harnesses that fuel. So the gauntlet could do some things, but ultimately it was to grant a wish. The Celestial device was for destroying a planet.
Middle_Cranberry_5492025-11-21 23:16
I mean it is the power stone. For it to have the most raw power of the lot makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that God dam blue box space stone. That thing has no rules or consistency. Why does second 2012 loki know he can use it to teleport.
CaptHayfever2025-11-22 00:44
> Why does second 2012 loki know he can use it to teleport.
The Asgardians already knew what the Tesseract was. Odin had used it in the past, and when Sif & Volstagg took the Aether to the Collector, they implicitly referred to it when they said it wasn't safe to keep 2 Infinity Stones in the same place.
williamlucasxv2025-11-21 22:09
It’s also a case of “greater than the sum of their parts”
Grabthar-the-Avenger2025-11-21 21:40
It does change reality, but Thanos wasn’t interested in killing his daughter’s friends. His intention was giving everyone, including them, a 50/50 chance once he got the final stone
the_last_n00b2025-11-22 00:42
Which is weird because a few hours ago he slaightered half of the Asgardians on Thors ship without giving them that chance. I suppose his stance only really changed once he obtained the Space Stone?
Grabthar-the-Avenger2025-11-22 00:49
He did give them a chance to surrender, and Thor declined because Thor. But he didn’t have a fancy Reality Stone at the time, just the Powerstone, so he had to use his army and his fists to get Thor, Hulk, and the entire Asgardian population to submit the old fashion way so he could get their Tessaract
In contrast the Guardians were a small team and he already had multiple stones. He could have just left them entirely as they had nothing he needed, but what dad wouldn’t want to give his daughter’s boyfriend a scare
belladonnagilkey2025-11-22 01:26
Don't forget, he does the whole "testing the boyfriend" thing after he's already got what he came for. He could have left the party at any moment but he chose to stick around and grill Peter to make sure his daughter was dating someone worthy of his approval.
Tinmanred2025-11-22 03:16
Ya and while he’s sadistic asf he doesn’t view himself as it. He’s not gonna just kill Gamoras best friends for no reason when she’s what he loves most besides his plans
BurnieTheBrony2025-11-22 11:08
At that point he probably still expected Gamora to survive his campaign, too.
jack00712025-11-21 21:53
I think the concept they were going for was "to make the changes permanent, you need the time-stone so it affects it for all time" type thing
siestarrific2025-11-21 22:00
And Soul Stone too
santa99912025-11-21 21:54
They could change reality, he just wasn’t trying to do that
He has 3 kills during the movie. Heimdal was a message to Thor, Loki was personal, and Gamora was necessary for him to finish his quest
He could have completely wiped them in that scene if he wanted, same with the avengers at the end
cabbage162025-11-21 22:22
This is Vision erasure and I won't stand for it.
santa99912025-11-21 22:38
Arguably the biggest of all of them and I didn’t even think of It
Would probably fall under the Gamora area, no way to get the stone without doing It
PreAmbleRambler2025-11-22 00:27
Granted; he now erases Vision twice.
b2bpaul2025-11-21 23:24
He also might have killed The Collector. That was left ambiguous.
sarkastiktaurus2025-11-21 23:53
In Vol. 3, The Guardians said they bought Knowhere from the Collector. Besides, he is one of the Elder Gods of the Universe (comic/MCU)
Party-Doctor-41012025-11-22 04:56
Loki wasn’t really personal. He killed Loki because Loki tried to stab him in the neck. If he hadn’t done that, it’s possible Thanos would have just let him live. Loki was the only one unharmed before he did that.
santa99912025-11-22 05:00
That is fair
The way he does It feels very personal to me though
chiefbrody622025-11-22 08:37
I mean killing someone for trying to kill you after they swore their allegiance to you seems pretty personal to me. But I agree, he would've let him live had he not done that.
shaxamo2025-11-21 21:43
I'd assume the Stone is powerful enough to leave them as is, and Thanos actively undid the effects. I've always taken that scene to show that Thanos would much rather incapacitate than kill outside of his crusade. MCU Thanos is The Mad Titan because his goal is seen as lunacy, unlike the comic book Thanos who is just straight up insanely evil, with heavy emphasis on the insane part. When comic Thanos cubed and coiled, it was torture and butchery while he was straight up slaughtering heroes left and right for kicks, despite the fact he could have snapped every one of them out of existence the moment he has the full Gauntlet. MCU Thanos straight up avoids killing anyone who isn't judged as part of his plan to erase half of all life.
tiggoftigg2025-11-21 22:50
Nah. That’s the users choice.
His whole thing is “fairness and mercy”.
PlatonisSapientia2025-11-21 20:07
The Rock really hasn’t been the same since he asked for Cody Rhode’s soul…
heresjonnyyy2025-11-21 22:58
That was reality stone. Thanos used the space stone to phase banner/hulkbuster into the rock
cowpool202025-11-21 20:01
How tf are people confused by this?
PeaceMaker_IXI2025-11-21 20:02
As a kid, did you ever get suited up in snow gear that was a little too excessive that you could barely move, then dive into a mound of piled up snow from the plows, and see that you could move around inside your snow suit a little but you were encased in snow so you couldn't actually *move* move?
Herbizarre172025-11-21 20:30
Just keep your tongue away from frozen flagpoles
Ambitious-Pirate-5052025-11-21 20:05
Thanos intentionally wasnt trying to kill any of them.
OneAngryDuck2025-11-21 20:06
That’s his secret… he’s always rock hard
Federal-Captain11182025-11-21 20:06
It's a movie series with magical glowing stones that can do whatever the user wants.
There's your answer.
Reinier_Reinier2025-11-21 20:06
The same way Thanos used the Reality Stone to "dismember" Drax & Mantis on the Collector's planet (Knowhere). And Drax & Mantis went back to normal after Thanos left.
I figured Banner being stuck inside the rock was the same type of Reality Stone tricks.
fremo86172025-11-21 20:11
Since this was a film, based on a comic, anything is possible.
UnfavorableSpiderFan2025-11-21 20:15
...He was in armor. The rock shifted around him.
xineirea2025-11-21 20:15
The same way Drax and Mantis survived being spaghettified in Knowhere.
Etticos2025-11-21 20:16
Banner’s matter displaced/deleted the rocks matter. There is a perfectly formed Iron Banner shaped hole in the rock.
Grayx_28872025-11-21 20:17
Just luck, I guess.
carlitospig2025-11-21 20:17
I have this same question every time.
My lazy guess is that Hulk finally stops being a prick and gets them unstuck.
Killbro_Fraggins2025-11-21 20:18
Has to be Engagement farming.
Fickle-Ad-71242025-11-21 20:20
It’s the reality stone, it’s a reality where the rock closes in around him so he can’t move.
Front-Advantage-70352025-11-21 20:22
It’s Wakanda Bro. They have lasers
Complete_Salt10382025-11-21 20:23
His suit probably helped.
diomune2025-11-21 20:28
No idea. People will say the suit was placed in the rock but that doesnt explain what happened to the displaced stone where the suit goes into. Probably just best to chalk it up to cosmic magic
sogwatchman2025-11-21 20:29
I assume the rock is wrapped around the suit otherwise he would have been dead immediately. So he just got out of the suit.
dark_knight9202025-11-21 20:31
Inside The Rock you say
Smooferang2025-11-21 20:39
I just don't understand how he couldn't break free out of that when the rock was simply just around him. Surely the suit that supposed to withstand the hulk could break free of that...
Altego19992025-11-21 20:42
In the process of undoing Vision's demolition by Wanda (which was done to protect the mind stone), Thanos also undid all the other deaths of the Avengers he killed while getting to vision. So even if Banner died in that instance, he was revived when Thanos used the time stone when he was reviving Vision.
IronBobBerserker772025-11-21 20:47
The effects weren't permanent. Same as what he did to the GotG on Knowwhere.
PezDiSpencersGifts2025-11-21 20:50
The same way Drax and Mantis survived their spaghetti-ing and dicing once Thanos left
SexyTimeSamet2025-11-21 20:54
Look like they wanted to end that version of the hulk somehow...but..the method wasn't set...in stone.
Tackit2862025-11-21 21:02
The same way he survived all the other massive hits he’s taken over the years.

He just phased into the rock, effectively replacing what was there. My question is how the fuck did he get out of it lol. We see him out and walking around in the suit, who got him out? Only explanation I can see is we saw the effects are temporary once Thanos leaves, so maybe he just phased back, but that’s pretty flimsy lol.
Then again I’m thinking way too much about this

I always assumed he didn't. I figured Thanos killed everyone trying to stop him from getting to Vision, but when he reversed time to get the soul stone back, it reversed all of their deaths as well.

That was what I thought. Because he punched Cap in the head and then he didn’t have a bruise, Rhodey was getting scrunched up like a crumpled soda can then the suit was fine, Bruce and Nat were out of their respective traps etc.

We physically see that he isn't affecting all time around him because Wanda isn't affected.

Was he phased using the reality stone ? The effects would disappear after like Thanos on knowhere

Thanos reversed time so even if he did die the time stone brought him back

Because he's the hulk

Didn't Thanos rewind time shortly after this? To bring back vision, I like to think that he reversed this which is why Banner was free at the end

ROCK AND STONE
He wasn't actively trying to kill the Avengers or Wakandans.
Can the infinity stones destroy matter ?
Even Strange and Stark who were threats he didn't kill.
He raises the gauntlet and points ot at Tony. I'm not 100% sure but I think some stones may have even lit up.
He didn't need to kill them at that point, so he let the snap decide.
RUDE.
He has personal beef with Loki for failing him then trying to stab him.
As for Vision, as far as Thanos is concerned he’s a robot, not a living being. Just a really smart robot that happens to be powered by a stone.
Wanda had effectively destroyed the stone which led Thanos to have to rewind time to get it.
He didn't look furious per se but it must have been at the very least an annoyance due to the risk of the time reset not restoring the stone or simply the annoyance of having to intervene in that way.
You can tell he takes some pleasure in killing him after.
Also, likely he didn't perceive it as murder but more him plucking one of the stones from its current housing unit.
Similarly, Loki messes with him, attempting to betray him when handing him the tesseract and going for his daggers.
Loki had also irritated him due to his failings during the attack on New York and he's frequent betrayals.
So again I'd perceive that murder as out of irritation towards Loki.
The other battles you can see he barely needs to spend any energy so Wanda, Loki, and the surprise wound by Stark would have been especially impressive to him or at least intriguing.
I'm more surprised didn't kill Mantis when her sleeping powers almost got the drop on him, or Pete when he grabbed the glove.
But I think that's more because he nearly lost so his focus was on snapping more than anything else knowing they'd lose as a result. Where with Wanda and Loki it was still early days so he may have perceived them as a threat and acted accordingly
Thanos had a beef with Loki. He very possibly would have killed him anyway for failing his task on Earth.
Vision was not alive in Thanos's view, and thus taking the stone wasn't killing anyone.

Inevitable..
Heimdall's power is too convenient and potent - the "all-seeing" combined with Instant teleport is enough to thwart his search for the rest of the stones, knowing that he couldn't use or manipulate it.
In universe, there isn’t really an answer that makes sense. But then Thanos’ reluctance to kill avengers was a bit silly in general, considering how fast he was willing to kill Heimdall and Loki.
I’m not a subscriber to this theory, but it has good arguments for it.
I feel like the infinity stones were built up to be very powerful and turned out to be not that powerful, which was a bit disappointing.
But all together? They wiped out half of the galaxy.
The Asgardians already knew what the Tesseract was. Odin had used it in the past, and when Sif & Volstagg took the Aether to the Collector, they implicitly referred to it when they said it wasn't safe to keep 2 Infinity Stones in the same place.
In contrast the Guardians were a small team and he already had multiple stones. He could have just left them entirely as they had nothing he needed, but what dad wouldn’t want to give his daughter’s boyfriend a scare
He has 3 kills during the movie. Heimdal was a message to Thor, Loki was personal, and Gamora was necessary for him to finish his quest
He could have completely wiped them in that scene if he wanted, same with the avengers at the end
Would probably fall under the Gamora area, no way to get the stone without doing It
The way he does It feels very personal to me though
His whole thing is “fairness and mercy”.
There's your answer.
I figured Banner being stuck inside the rock was the same type of Reality Stone tricks.
My lazy guess is that Hulk finally stops being a prick and gets them unstuck.
