Hell when you get right down to it if we go full determinism here one has to ask why one considers the result of one set of cultural norms to be the true self :P

After everything he's done I literally have no reason to prefer a Donald Trump who is just some harmless old guy who likes sudoku over a Donald Trump that simply doesn't exist. Even if it weren't death, you don't get to be rewarded for being a bad person by becoming a good one.

It wouldn't really be him, though.

If we're assuming Infinity Gauntlet-style reality revision, his soul is as subject to change as anything else.

The point of there being a Soul Gem (that's as necessary to power the Gauntlet as all the others) is that this is a meaningful distinction in the MCU but having the Gauntlet lets you change things at that level too

There's some vague hints the movie gives you as to what this means in practice Like why before he gets it, you'd think the Reality Gem by itself would make Thanos omnipotent but it's not as powerful as you'd think

It's even weirder because going off what we see done with it, the Gauntlet's Reality-warping effects are only temporary without the Soul gem. But honestly so many of the gems are just kinda generic power phlebotinum when used outside of that film.

Without the *Time* gem, surely, although Soul might also play a role sure

Come to think of it, Time was the only one actually portrayed as having a specific dominion in its own movie.

Yeah because the MacGuffins being disguises for the Infinity Stones hadn't been established yet in the others

Yeah. But also just like, notably in the scene in Knowhere they seem to wear off as soon as the Reality Stone is absent from the scene.
