Spoiler Thread: Avengers Infinity War

So I think the “let him have his fun” line before the Hulk fight insinuates Thanos was legitimately just letting Hulk get a few hits in before “having his fun”. But this is all going deep into theory at that point.

I also don’t know if the stones actually augment Thanos’ physical strength, so I’m also making an assumption there. I just kinda assumed the more stones he had, the stronger he is. The music (when Thanos teleports into Wakanda) is what led me in that direction.

I think the stones do augment his strength to some degree, but it seems to me it's more about augmenting his power to utilize one, a couple or all of the stones at the same time. I tend to agree with Ward in that Thanos was sorta toying with Captain America. But, Thanos did have a measure of respect for CA's valor as well as Iron Man. Tony fought the good fight, but he and the Avengers really were no match for Thanos. Only Thor truly pushed him. Interesting Thanos' comment that Thor should have gone for the head. Would it actually have killed Thanos if he did? Hmmm.

IW was a fantastic movie. There's so much to unpack and of course they leave a lot to speculation as to what's next in the Avengers series.
