At the end of Avengers: Endgame, when Tony Stark




snaps the Infinity Gauntlet v2, all of Thanos's ships also get disintegrated. The Chitauri Leviathans are living beasts, so it makes sense, but the Outrider Dropships are clearly mechanical, as seen in Avengers: Infinity War.




We did not see this with the snap in Avengers: Infinity War, where




only living things were dusted.




Why is it different this time around?



See 2m35s of this clip, ignore the Chitauri Leviathan in the foreground.

The snap is just the trigger to have the stones carry out your will, whatever it may be.



Thanos wanted to destroy half of all life so that's what happened. Stark wanted to destroy Thanos' invasion force which included their ships and technology so that is what happened.

  • In the MCU it was also used to destroy the infinity gems. So of the 4 uses seen 2 of them affected inanimate objects. In the comics it was used for relatively mundane things like teleportation or adjusting the orbit of earth. There is no indication in the MCU or comics that the gauntlet can only be used to kill or bring back life.

The Snap just performs the wielder’s will which is made quite clear over the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. It’s made the most clear when Tony asks Smart Hulk what to do with his Snap.




Tony: You remember... everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago and just bringing them back to now, today. Don't change anything from the last five years.



Avengers: Endgame




Later on when Smart Hulk has done his Snap he again makes it clear that he had control over what the Snap did because he tried to bring Nat back.




Smart Hulk: You know, I tried. When I had the gauntlet, the stones, I really tried to bring her back.



Avengers: Endgame




Just to be complete Thanos’ Snap was only to kill half of all life and so that is why it didn’t affect ships or the like.




Gamora: The entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal: To bring balance to the Universe by wiping out half of all life. He used to kill people planet by planet, massacre by massacre...



[...]



Thanos: Little one, it's a simple calculus. This universe is finite, its resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correction.



Avengers: Infinity War




The implication is then that Tony’s Snap was to destroy Thanos, his forces and equipment so that they could win the battle. A deleted scene shows Gamora is still alive and she was originally on Thanos’ side and so the Snap must have only been for those loyal to Thanos at the time of the Snap.

Thanos: Little one, it's a simple calculus. This universe is finite, its resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correction.



Avengers: Infinity War




The implication is then that Tony’s Snap was to destroy Thanos, his forces and equipment so that they could win the battle. A deleted scene shows Gamora is still alive and she was originally on Thanos’ side and so the Snap must have only been for those loyal to Thanos at the time of the Snap.
