I do.
Thanos only wanted one Universe.
Eternity and company go to LT for help against Thanos:
LT will not interfere because Thanos only wants One Universe
Magus had an incomplete IG = NOT Omnipotent.
"Warlock and I gave the Magus a Taste of GodHood ... just a Taste"
"the Magus merely had the illusion of Omnipotence, no more"
That's an Incomplete IG, it's just an illusion of omnipotence, a taste of Godhood,
and yet Magus Owned the UN.
Magus Owned Two Universes in an instant.
Now put that in perspective, and think about a Complete IG.
Warlock didn't want any Universe at all.
Warlock wasn't collapsing the Universe or the Multiverse.
Warlock was not at the moment a threat to the Balance.
The second most powerful Entity in Marvel,
only appears because of threats to Multiversal imbalance:
The Living Tribunal still interfered, (never been done before)
On one last note
If the IG is just a Universal power,
why would TOAA himself, place a restriction on their use?
"Let it be known the Power that the Living Tribunal Represents (TOAA)
will never again allow the Gems to work in Unison"
