How could Thanos ... *SPOILERS*


... use the stones to destroy the stones?

Didn’t the ancient one explain that the stones balance the universe and prevent rampant evil? Then wouldn’t the destruction of the stones plunge the universe into instant chaos?

It was unclear, but I’ll play Devils Advocate.

In the Ancient One’s case, she knew Doctor Strange would need the Time Stone to stop Dormammu.

The Infinity Stones also allowed underdogs like Captain America, Peter Quill, and Iron Man to destroy big threats like Red Skull, Ronan and Thanos, as well as empower superheroes like the Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel.

he thought he destroyed them but he didn't. he "atom-ized" them. The russo brothers explained this in a recent interview.
