And da babies in-utero? Did the Infinity Gauntlet go by conception or 24-weeks?
There were zero reports I've heard from any TV, movie, or comic reference to the snap of unborn (but possibly viable) babies being left behind (by any species even) when the pregnant mother disappeared in the snap. That suggests the Infinity Gauntlet doesn't consider the unborn as a separate individual until birth.
This scenario didn't even enter my head when I posed the question. That's some Stephen King-level imagery though—a snapped mother disappearing only for an amniotic sac to drop in her place.
Following that logic conjoined twins would either both be snapped or neither would.
I think the Gauntlet counted any beings that either depended on another to live or supported another to live as all one unit for simplicity's sake.
I would love a comic series where each Infinity Stone has a representative entity of some kind and we get to see the "thought process" each goes through in fulfilling the request of its wielder. I'm envisioning a format like the Pixar movie "Inside Out" except each stone's entity is very judgy on how the wielder is using it.
"Ugh, Goddamit Dr Strange, how many more times do you want to do this Dormamu thing. Its getting really repetitive." - Time stone
Or when multiple stones have to work together, they have to hash out what each is going to do to fulfill the desired wish. The conversation between all the stones during "the snap" being the longest and most complicated conversation with questions coming up like "okay Mr Soul Stone smart guy, what about pregnant women?! Is that one soul or two, huh?"
imagine the stone suddenly surgically removing your conjoined twin but leaving you with a typical body afterwards. then 5 years later your twin - now noticably younger and alien to you - is reattached
Now you got this idea in my head, if it would have been possible to know if the Infinity Gauntlet considered conception, couldn't a species, lets say humans, knowing "the snap" was a possible risk, create massive stores of zygotes kept on ice? Lets say 10 zygotes to every 1 living human. After the snap of "half" that would mean that instead of 50% of humans disappearing it would only have been 2.5%.
Moreover, since every other species would have lost 50% and been in chaos it would have been prime opportunity to conquer other species still in disarray.
Now I'd love to see a story about a species that has huge numbers of young but also incredibly high infant mortality. So in the snap they mostly lost a bunch of kids who were going to die anyway. Then they decide to take advantage and invade their neighbors, and Captain Marvel comes to help.
Why would zygotes get dusted at a higher rate than adults?
Same rate, but higher * total number* of zygotes dusted because there would be far more zygotes than grown humans.
