I think I’d much rather buy into it and be interested in the how will they manage to overcome everything that’s happened as opposed to merely looking ahead to the Phase 4 slate and not appreciating how good the ending of Infinity War actually was.

Dr Strange saw that there was only one way to “win” which is why he gave up the stone.
Also.. even if they’d got the gauntlet off his arm he’s stronger than them and none of them could weild it, so chances are he’d just take it back

I suppose
Thanos is going to lose because he failed to predict and pre-empt what the Avengers will do despite having the time stone. This will fit in with the concept of him actually setting himself up for defeat as with the comics
Answered in spoilers.
Sorry I don't buy it, Dr Strange had the time stone, Why didn't he drop Quill through a hole? Even Rewind time? We know from the Dr Strange movie that you cant see past your own death. So, we know that his 1 in 14 million chance was getting the glove off Thanos. Yet He failed to see that Quill would disrupt the plan?
The plan the guardians had did manage to stop Thanos closing his glove eventually, but, not at the beginning of the fight.
And as for the last fight, Only Captain America made any attempt to hold his glove. All the rest of the Attacks were brushed aside, and again, there was a lot of time between Thanos appearing and the fighting starting, long enough for Thanos to use the glove. What about the Witch holding him off, he made no attempt to use his powers then. And he had the extra power of all those infinity stones, yet she was able to hold him off. And again where was Thor for all this?
That brings me to one more thing. Well two actually. These things didn't bother me so much because the start of the movie was so good. But, Heimdall didn't see Thanos coming? Ok maybe Thanos was cloaked or something. Well, why didn't Thor use his new found Thunder powers? There was so much angst in Thor: Ragnarok about him losing his hammer. Then Odin explained that his powers weren't from the hammer, that Thor was the power.

Dr. Strange's powers have limits. He can't see beyond his own demise. So his one in 14 million chance was actually getting the glove off Thanos's hand.
The only reason I can think of is that when they failed to get the glove, he knew he was going to die and Tony was going to survive the cull. So there was no point in both of them dying.
They made a point of stopping him closing his fist after he closed his fist a few times. Then of course why didn't he send Quill through one of the portals before he hit Thanos?
What if they're not dead and all of those souls just belong to the soul stone? I don't read the comics so all I know of the soul stone is what the film has shown us, which isn't a lot. But we can be pretty sure Gamora is trapped in there, hence the pocket universe sequence with her as a child. I don't see why all the others wouldn't be trapped in there too.
If Strange's character saw that he was going to die and Tony survive but that's it, he wouldn't go for that option. He'd much rather back himself and his powers to succeed than Stark. That's why I think he can see past his "disappearance", maybe even into the trapped universe.

There's no 'what if', because there's a GotG3 in the pipeline and it's not going to be a Rocket solo film.

He didn't actually get fat. Check out his social media posts about keeping fit...
We don't know that for sure. The Ancient One said she couldn't but she wasn't using an Infinity Stone. It's entirely possible that when using it he could see past his own death.
I thought he looked like he had put on weight.
My missus loves the guy and she prodded me in the movie and asked if he was out of shape.
This might be because we could compare his physique to Hemsworth in this one!
Obvious answer? Quill's disruption is part of the timeline where they win, a timeline where Thanos does what he wants to do, but the survivors manage to turn it around later, like, oh I don't know, in the second movie
By my reckoning the infinity stones allow quite a few rescue scenarios:
Soul stone - they're all trapped, find a way to release them.
Time stone - rewind back and aim for the head.
Reality stone (with the power stone) - create a new universal reality where everyone is alive again. The old reality still exists but effectively the Marvel universe switches to this new path, something they're quite familiar with considering you have Earth 616, Earth 92131 etc.
How they'd get back to Thanos and the gauntlet, if it even still works properly is another matter.

The soul stone has the power to bring people back to life, it can trap souls. And there is a world inside it that the holder of the Stone can visit. I am guessing that Gamora is trapped in there because she was the price for the stone, but would the stone actually kill her? We know Thanos wouldn't just trap half the universe. he wanted to wipe out it out. He wanted to kill, It showed him in the movies kill vast numbers of people. So it would be completely out of character for him not to.
If Dr. Strange only saw one chance to stop Thanos was something that will happen in part 2, why did they bother with the attempt to get the glove off Thanos's hand. Surely he could have just given the stone to Thanos.

With them trapped in there, he may think that's as good as dead. They're not consuming the universe anymore after all.
He saw a lot of possibilities, but he didn't see the infinite possibilities the universe sprawls into. So maybe he gave it a shot and when it came down to the one character he knows is necessary for the 1 scenario he did see, he saved his life.

Because Strange needed everyone else (including Thanos) to think that they were really trying to do that?

I wonder if the new Ant Man film will address the half of people that have died/turned to dust, or whether the time frame of the film is different. I understand that the Captain Marvel film goes back in time, but I can't place Ant Man and the Wasp on the current timeline.
