So in this fashion, lots of people had different parts of the story, but a limited number of people had the whole thing.
Or everyone got an Infinity Stone, but nobody could enjoy the full power of the gauntlet, if you prefer.
This sounds like a smart approach, and given the fact that Infinity War’s biggest spoilers didn’t leak before the movie released, I would say an effective one too.
Like giving sections of a puzzle to different groups with none of them knowing what the entire picture looks like until it all comes together.
