This revision will tackle some stuff that I wanted to add for a while, but couldn’t due to time costrains. I hope it wont be too much problematic, so let’s start with some simple stuff.
Thanos Standard Tactics:
So, first of all I would like to add a “Standard Tactics” part for Thanos’ profile. I know we don’t have them for most of the other characters in the MCU, but Thanos’ case is a bit peculiar considering that there are two version of the same character, the one from 2018 (Infinity War) and the one from 2014 (Endgame), both with vastly different personalities and fighting styles.
Here is a rough draft of what should be added in my opinion:
“Thanos’ fighting style greatly varies based on the version used and how many stones he has. The two main versions that this profile covers are the one from Infinity War and the one from Endgame.
The first one is a honorable warrior, that prefers not to kill his opponets if not needed and will first try to incapacitate them, unless he sees them as a serious threat to his plans, in which case he wont have problems killing the opponent if he has a chance to. It’s unknown how he fight with his Double-Bladed Sword, but with the Stones he will try to quickly defeat the opponent with powerful attacks from his Power Stone or by incapacitating them with the Reality Stone and the Space Stone, but if that doesn’t work then he will go for more lethal attacks. When equipped with the Complete Gauntlet, his first move will be to snap his finger in order to destroy his opponent, deconstructing them and turning them into ashes.
The second one, instead, is much less honorable, being far more ruthless and sadistic with little regards towards anyone. He wont have any problem with trying to kill his opponent even if they aren’t an immediate threat to him. This is reflected into his fighting style with the Double-Bladed Sword, since with it he will try to continously attack the opponent, without giving them the time to counter-attack. He was never seen using the Stones singularly, except for the Power Stone which he used briefly against Captain Marvel. His first move when equipped with the Complete Gauntlet, instead, is to use it to destroy the whole Universe with a snap of his fingers.”
As said before, this is mainly to differenciate between the two versions of Thanos since I believe they behave extremely differently, so nothing big or extremely important, just something that I think should be specified. If anyone disagrees or would prefer to write something else then do not hesitate to let me know.
Time Stone Immortality Type 4 and Type 8
Strange was able to use the Time Stone to create a time loop in which everytime he died, time would reset, bringing him back to a specific point in time before his death. This means that he and those that uses the Time Stones should get Immortality Type 4 (because he is using the time loop to resurrect himself continuously) and Type 8 (reliant on the time loop and the Time Stone itself), but only with Preparation, so it would be limited to specific battles in which the characters have a Preparation time or in which it would make sense for the character to have the time to properly do it.
Straight forward, Alioth is stated to be able to consume matter and as such he should have Limited Matter Manipulation.
Dormammu Acausality Type 4
This is what I think will be the most controversial part of this CRT, and something that I’m not fully sure myself.
So, according to our current standards, being beyond or outside time is evidence for Acausality Type 4. This can be seen in the Acausality page, more precisely in the notes for Type 5:
“Note: Being completely independent of time or laws; or similar forces, does not make you completely independent of causality without the relationship between these forces and causality being clarified, with it only being considered as evidence for an irregular relationship with causality otherwise.”
The last part confirms that being beyond time or laws would be proof of existing in a irregular system of causality. The Dark Dimension, as we all know, have multiple clear statements of existing beyond and outside time and laws, so I think that Acausality Type 4 for Dormammu wouldn’t be so absurd.
As supporting evidence, he is also stated to be older then time, meaning he would be older than our regular causality systems, so it wouldn’t be far fetched to say that he exist in an irregular system of causality.
According to our standards, I believe all of this would be evidence of Acausality Type 4, but I would like to hear other opinions on the matter. In the worst case, it might be something similiar to BDE, so limited to the Dark Dimension, but this should be discussed after deciding if this is enought to warrant Acausality Type 4 or not.
5-D Citadel at the End of Time
This might be controversial too, but I hope that after the most recent revision regarding the cosmology there won’t be many problems.
So, in this CRT it was accepted that the Timelines in the MCU branches off in every point of time, creating infinite new separate Timelines with every single possibility. And obviously, each Timeline is a 2-A structure as explained in the Cosmology blog.
The Citadel at the End of Time contains inside itself the Sacred Timeline and every single Timeline that branches off from that. Considering that there are infinite diramations that extends infinitely, the Citadel obviously needs to be infinite too. So, it should be 5-D for containing a Timeline (2-A structure) and all of it’s infinite diramations, being infinitely bigger than said Timelines for it’s own nature.
The only thing that would change with this is that Alioth should get a Low 1-C range with Dimensional Travel, nothing else. In the after-credit scene of Quantumania we see some Kang’s variants reaching the Citadel, but since it’s unknown how they did it I think we should wait before giving them Low 1-C range with the technology.
And that’s it. It took me too much to make this revision despite being fairly short, so I hope this won’t be much controversial, after all.
Do you agree with it fully or are there some parts that you disagree with?
