[x] Plan: Keep Moving Forward & Fix Scarecrow
As an aside, does anyone else feel like changing how exactly the Infinity Stones function? It always felt to me that the more esoteric applications and meanings behind the stones were sort of ignored for the movies, and rarely did Thanos combine the functions of two or more stones.
Originally, in the comics, they were a sort of physical representative of a fundamental force/aspect of the universe which is why they've stuck around for eons without being destroyed. To destroy them would potentially lead to catastrophic results, as if you were destroying a linchpin of the universe. Likewise, they gave you complete authority over that part of reality and the limitations of that are constrained only by the imagination.
In the MCU... this is not really the case anymore, the stones are significantly less powerful until the point that Thanos managed to gather them all where their combined power took a sharp jump upwards back to the universal scale. That is potentially a good thing, because it makes Thanos losing more believable, but it's also feels like they gutted the wonder and awe of the stones a little.
Personally, I kind of want this version of the stones to still be unimaginably powerful, but be heavily dependent upon the users capability to handle the amount of power they are channeling. Thanos would have a far more easy time of it than say... Pepper, and Galactus would be leagues more terrifying.
