Thanos had the reality stone, he could create a reality around Dr. Strange where by the Time stone simply didn't function the way he would expect it to, it's why he wasn't even wearing it during the encounter but had teleported it elsewhere. Strange would have seen many instances of the 14million potential futures where he tried to use the stone against Thanos and failed and was killed doing so... think about it, the way he surrendered the stone every death there was done by the Soul stone power of Thanos there by storing those people within the stone, if he had fought until Thanos killed some of them then submitted and gave him the stone those people who were killed would not be restored. |
This is a good point. Him surrendering the Stone to save Stark life is the big give away. The less permanent death the better. I was thinking about that part as well and thought it plugged some holes in Dr Strange decision. Especially since Thanos specifically asked Dr Strange why he never used the stone as if he was ready for him to try.
