The video explores why Doctor Strange did not use the Time Stone to trap Thanos in a time loop, similar to how he defeated Dormammu. It explains that the strategy worked against Dormammu because Dormammu exists outside of time in the Dark Dimension, making him susceptible to an endless loop of his own actions. Doctor Strange, bound by time, experienced each death repeatedly but forgot them instantly, while Dormammu was forced to endure the same fate eternally, eventually leading him to surrender and make a deal. In contrast, Thanos exists within the flow of time. Applying the same time-loop tactic to Thanos would result in both Strange and Thanos endlessly repeating the loop without any progress or resolution, as neither would be outside the temporal constraints. Therefore, the tactic effective against Dormammu was not viable against Thanos.

Have you ever wondered why Doctor Strange didn't trap Thanos in a time loop? Just like he did with Dormamu.

See, with Dormamu, Strange used the time stone to lock them both in an endless loop. Every time Dormamu killed him, the loop restarted from the same point. But here's the twist. Strange is a human bound by time. Dormamu isn't. He exists in the dark dimension, a place beyond time itself.

"What is happening?"

"This is time. endless looped time."

So, while Strange experienced every death but forgot them instantly, Dormamu didn't. For him, it was happening again and again forever. That's why he finally gave up and made a deal with Strange.

Now, Thanos is different. He lives within time. He's not outside of it like Dormamu. If Strange tried the same trick, both of them would just keep looping endlessly, never realizing it. No progress, no victory, just infinite repetition.

So, yeah, Strange couldn't just pull another Dormamu. I've come to bargain moment.
