Actually, this is good scientific thinking. You have a problem, you don’t start with the most complex solution, you start with the simplest solution and see whether it would work. If not, you move on to the next simplest solution and so on and so on.
So, in this situation: The problem is that Thanos needs all 6 stones and they don’t have a lot of time to find a solution. Easiest way to fix the problem is to deny him 1 or more of those stones. Easiest way to deny him a stone in a short space of time? Destroy it.
Given that Tony has dealt with 2 infinity stones thus far, I doubt he thinks it would actually work but the other part of science is the concept of ‘there is no such thing as a stupid question’, especially when presented with new and/or unknown variables. So, even if he doesn’t think it would work, he’s dealing with an object that’s a little bit outside even his breadth of knowledge and he’s talking to people who have abilities he doesn’t, so… you ask the stupid question. Can we destroy it?
#it’s funny because tony made plans (destroying an infinity stone/getting the gauntlet) and the other characters scoffed#but in the end the movie went through with them (wanda killing vision/team titan teaming up and nearly succeeding in getting the gauntlet)#don’t be fooled: tony stark is an excellent strategist @tincanmans

Whatever happens tomorrow you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.

Reputedly a scene was filmed where during the final battle Captain America saves an old man trying to protect his grandchildren. He tells him to ‘Get them to cover’ but as he walks away the old man asks him “Cap, is that really you?’. He turns and noting the man’s World War 2 veteran lapel pin trades salutes with him. As Captain America sprints away the children ask their grandfather ‘Do you know him?’ and he replies ‘We all know him’.
Where is this scene? WHERE?
