Avengers: Endgame

Doctor Strange does his vision of the future thing and this determines his actions from then on. “Only 1 scenario in which they win.”

=

“The plot has to go this way, BECAUSE MAGIC.”

Other win scenarios seem plausible without this.

Consider this:
1 After losing on Titan, Dr. Strange takes his people (or just him) somewhere Thanos can’t follow, even with the Space Stone (Mirror Dimension, maybe?).

2 Dr. Strange then arranges some scenario in which when Thanos comes after the Mind Stone, which is guarded by the Scarlett Witch and Thor wielding Stormbreaker. Dr. Strange locks them all in a time loop which EITHER repeats forever (stops Thanos) or until Wanda/Thor kills Thanos

Dr. Strange was willing to lock himself in an endless time-loop to save the earth. Wouldn’t he do it for 1/2 the universe?

And “Should’ve gone for the head” seems to suggest they could’ve won of Thor had, in fact, gone for the head.

So locking Thanos in a time loop where he has to fight a Stormbreaker-wielding Thor—and let’s add the Scarlet Witch too—seems like they could in fact kill Thanos, eventually, if they were in a timeloop that runs over and over. They only have to win once.
