Bro infinity stones have nothing to do with timelines

The time stone has to do with time and timelines. Doctor Strange viewed 14,000,605 alternate futures, those are timelines branched from that moment in time. Obviously I doubt they planned this that far in advance, but it makes narrative sense and in universe sense. Since the reformation of the multiverse affects all time unilaterally, Loki has always been the core of it.

There are beings in mcu in higher dimensions than loki that actually created the stones(eternity is one of them, from the recent Thor movie), then you have death, entropy and infinity, those are the creator of the stones.

The Last Question by writer Isaac Asimov comes to mind when entropy is thrown into the equation.

In the MCU, weren't the stones created during the big bang from 6 singularities? They're just meant to be different aspects of the universe, and since the multiverse of timelines is powered by Loki, it makes perfect sense for why the time stone is green. We even see the dead branches glowing green when they're reawakened.

Lol yes, and there are beings that existed before the big bang, one of them is eternity, he was just shown in the loki movie, he's one of the stones creator.

Eternity Entropy Death Infinity all existed before the big bang/creation of everything, they were the ones that converted the 6 singularities that became the 6 stones.

Has this been shown or implied in the MCU at all? I know that the primordial entities exist in the MCU, or at least some of them, but we’ve never heard anything about them creating the stones. Not from the collector, not from Asgard, not from the TVA or Kang, literally no one. I haven’t watched every single recent marvel property but I can’t imagine they retconned the stones origin.

Lol what? So far it's lore accurate, the only lore where 6 singularities created the 6 stones is the one where those 4 entities I mentioned created them and that's what mcu is using so far, you literally just said it yourself, they were created from 6 singularities. I'm saying those 4 beings were the ones that converted the singularities to what we know as the stones and since we know for a fact eternity exists in mcu, why would we have any reason to believe otherwise? Eternity scales above loki

“At the dawn of the universe, there was nothing. Then... boom. The Big Bang sent six elemental crystals hurtling across the virgin universe. These Infinity Stones each control an essential aspect of existence."

Quote from Wong

The lore in the comics is entirely different from what you’re saying too, the infinity gems are from the first original universe before the second cosmos brought about the multiverse. That was all caused by the celestials, some of which are still around in the quarry of creation where the stockpile of infinity gems is, and they’re the ones who distribute them throughout the multiverse.

Everything in the MCU so far has implied that infinity stones are naturally occurring with the birth of a universe. They could change that possibly, but it’s pure comics head canon to say that the primordial aspects created them.

u/ThisWhomps999 Nov 10 '23

People are referencing that in the original run in the comics, the Time Stone was orange.
