And while we're at it, wouldn't the Reality Stone trump all the others because reality is all there is and contains everything the other stones represent?

It is by far the most powerful one in the comics, though most beings are not able to use it because it's use is too abstract.

Notably The Magus was given a fake one for his Infinity Gauntlet and didn't even notice.

Only in reality? Doesn't your theory fall apart with the fact that Marvel is not reality?

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Oh, are you starting to get the picture?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

As far as I know, reality doesnt actually contain the reality of the marvel universe. Only an imagined one.

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, correct, the logic of reality does not apply to works of fiction, which may have their own rules that may or may not be logical or internally consistent.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (3 children)

So the reality stone is limited to only the reality where it exists. The other stones could exist in a reality that doesnt require the reality stone.

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You'd think so, but get this: all the stones only work in the reality they're from, and are worthless trinkets in any other reality. It's ridiculous! They're not called the "infinity (of only this reality) stones" ffs!

Wait, so all they had to do was bring thanos to a different dimension? Shouldn't the mirror realm have been enough to defeat him?

Right! Unless he had the enots ytilaer he should have been powerless there.

They're trying to point out how the bible stories are fiction too and that is the real answer
