Can’t snap without all the stones
Sami_Steen2025-12-03 19:53
you use time stone to bring back the stones like thanos did the vision and then snap with these stones

The film Dr Strange makes it clear that using the time stone is inherently risky. Users can end up in time loops or worse.
Thanos was only able to use the stone the way for two reasons: one, he didn’t care about the risks. And two, he was only turning the clock back a few seconds.
For Endgame, the Avengers would have to turn back the clock several years and risk causing permanent damage to the time stream.
Also, Dr Strange only learned how to use the stone by studying forbidden texts. In the post-snap world, there may not have been anyone with the knowledge to use the stone.
Most importantly, we don’t know that the time stone could undo the snap. The snap involved the usage of all six stones working together. The time stone may not have been powerful enough on it to overcome that outcome.

I was thinking avengers could restore the gaunlet that thanos destroyed but you are right

I'll explain it. When Thanos snapped, he erased half of all life in the universe at the same time. All six stones together projected the necessary power.
The soul stone removed their souls from their bodies. The time stone by itself would perhaps restore the bodies, but probably not because the reality stone's effects aren't countered. And the time stone by itself has a strictly local effect.

Each stone is needed for a different part of the effect:
Space - the whole universe
Reality - changing the universe
Time - happening at once everywhere
Power - enough juice to do it
Mind - control which souls are randomly chosen
Soul - target and reach each soul in the universe
In game terms, think of it as each stone adding an additional effect to the spell. Without one, you're missing part of the end effect.

Not at all. He needed every stone to do the snap. This was just one way to get the stone from Vision.
Currycel78912025-12-03 19:46
Not at all. Because when Thanos snapped, he used the soul stone to remove their souls.
The time stone would merely restore the bodies, that too only the ones in the immediate vicinity. It also might NOT restore the bodies because the reality stone's effects aren't countered.

They explained this in endgame. Time travel by itself doesn’t fix the issue. It just creates a branch.
Use time stone to rewind - stop/change/prevent event = new timeline formed. In the original timeline The people who lost family will still have lost their family. The hero’s who got snapped are still snapped.
They had to bring people back in their timeline and that required all stones.
