My idea for a different Infinity War
In the MCU they use mass forgetting for Spider Man trying to get into college but it feels to me that the Sentry making people forget about him would have been cooler.
I thought Strange and the Hulk are supposed to remember Sentry, who made the world forget about him because he can't control the Void.
I wanted Strange to approach Banner trying to get him to remember what the Hulk does and, using pocket dimensions to train Hulk, get him to have a Hulk level conflict with Devil Hulk (who is the subconscious source of uncontrollable Hulking in Banner's subconscious I guess. You fight him in Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.) After that, Hulk recalls Sentry and Void.
Then we are given an alternate timeline for Infinity War where Sentry makes the Avengers win but Thanos brings out the Void, who allows Thanos to complete his plan and the Avengers having to bring Sentry back out.
Knowing that he already has been the bad guy, Sentry abandons the conflict and makes everybody forget him.
In the alternate version of him here, he would go on to help them defeat Thanos but once the Void comes out again, they get Sentry to give up his powers for good.
Idk, just some brain fodder I thought up. Obviously this is not what Marvel did. I just thought that by making these characters power scale they also lost the ability to give some cool characters the spotlight.
