I think he also stood by and watched Quill go after Thanos when they almost had the gauntlet off of him, when he could have stopped Quill.
I dont know any of the comic book story but that was what I noticed, no idea how they undo whats been done.

I won’t spoil the comic for anyone but at this point it’s safe to say very little will be in the next movie that relates to the IG comic. Not only did they only take a few beats and put them in the movie, quite masterfully I might add, but the story has diverged far enough I’d be shocked if any of the resolution from the comic is used in the movie.
The things you pointed out, I think, are bang on. I posted something similar a page or two back.
These points tie into something I’ve been meaning to mention. IW borrows liberally from quite a bit of source material but does so in a way that pays homage to the source but is far from a direct adaptation.
The thing with most movies that borrow from source material and don’t do them justice is that it ruins it in a couple of ways. First off it pisses off fans of the source material by screwing with it. And second it means that no future adaptation of the source material that’s going to do it right will be possible because someone else already ####ed around with it.
A great example of this would be Batman v Superman. Zack Snyder pissed all over Frank Miller’s legacy and the dark Knight returns. It was shameful the way that he very poorly borrowed from the source material (ripped off is probably more accurate), had no respect for it and didn’t do it any justice. And now that some of it has been done on the big screen if anyone wanted to make an actual adaptation of the dark Knight returns it would just seem derivative of Zack Snyder’s ####ty Batman v Superman movie.
This is where Marvel has hit it out of the ballpark. The things that they borrowed from infinity gauntlet and other properties that focus on Thanos and the infinity stones was done in such a way that someone could still read the source material and enjoy it, not to mention made fans extremely happy because they recognized all of the Easter eggs and callbacks.
Both Spiderman franchises were also very guilty of this. They did a terrible job of adapting a number of story lines from the comic books and really just ended up bastardizing them and pissing off fans.
I’m incredibly impressed with how well Marvel has honored their source material and how well they’ve adapted it into the MCU. Almost no one complains that the source material wasn’t adapted directly and instead appreciates the respect and quality of the film adaptation that was done.
