Why Tony Snapped So Easily But Hulk Struggled ?

Video Description

One of the questions I had after watching Endgame is that how come Tony snapped the infinity gauntlet fairly easy compared to Hulk and Thanos. If you remember in Infinity War, once Thanos placed the mind stone in the gauntlet, he had to absorb the power of the stones and we could see the energy of every stone going throught his body. In addition, when he puts the gauntlet on in Endgame, even more energy can be seen g which may do to the fact that this time he wants to destroy the Entire Universe and not just a half of all life. Similar energy release happened when Hulk put the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand. Before snapping, the power of the stones already started to cause damage to his hand and to actually snap Hulk had so much difficulty that he had to hold the gauntlet with his other hand Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRDMFl145QE However, a slightly different thing happens when Tony get’s all the stones. His nano-armor transforms into a gauntlet and assembles the stones into right places. We can still see the energy going through his suit but Tony doesn’t seem to struggle to contain the energy of the stones, instead he snaps fairly easily, after saying that he is Iron Man, which I though was an incredible moment. So how exactly he was able to snap relatively easily compared to Hulk and Thanos without strugling to handle the energy of the stones ? There are 2 possible theories to answer this question. The first one is based on Tony’s intelligence and his suit. If you’ve been paying attention and following every MCU movies, he can notice that everytime Tony encounters some kind of problem with his suit he fixes it in the next movie. For exmaple, when Thor hit him with lightnings in the first avengers film, he then redesigns his suit to be capable of absorbing energy. He also solves the problem of always carrying his suit with him by breaking down the suit in multiple parts that can kinda of fly to him anywhere he goes. He then replaces with with nano particles which is even better. In Avengers Endgame, before Tony snaps, Thor charges his suit with lightnings on purpose so that he can strike Thanos. In the same way, once all the infinity stones are in place on Tony’s hand, his suit actually absorbs the evergy that is released from the stones. Another important thing to remember is that after gathering all stones from multiple timelines, Tony and other avengers spend undetermined amount of time making the Gauntlet. During that time Tony probably adjusted his suit to be able to absorb the energy of the stones in case he would need it. That’s why he didn’t have to struggle the same way as Hulk or Thanos. There exists a second theory might offer a better explanation. When Thanos added the last infinity stone to the gauntlet he had an intention of whipping out half of all the living creatures in the universe. If you think about how big if the universe in the marvel fantasy world and how many different planets there are populated with life, then it’s clear that Thanos snap required an extreme amount of energy. Same thing with Hulk, bring back everybody that Thanos snaped away need an equaly large amout of energy if not more. For these reasons, Hulk really struggled to snap his fingers. However, Tony’s snap required less energy since his intention was to eliminate Thanos and his army. Much smaller objective that bringing back half of all life in the universe. For that reason he could snap fairly easily. However, despite the suit, using the infinity stones was enough to cause irreversible damage that led to Tony’s death, which was a sad moment and an anticipated conclusion to his character. To conclude these are possible explanations on how Tony could snap fairly easily compared to Hulk, Let me know in the comments which theory do you think is the most accurate.
