A. its better than the gems already having been collected off screen. B. its better than collecting them from random places in the universe that have no bearing on the stories. C. it shows off each gem's power before finally uniting them all and giving Thanos nearly unlimited power.

You're also assuming Loki even knew what the IG and gems were in the first place. We could attempt to suggest that since Odin was telling he and Thor the story of the casket in the opening of "Thor", there was potential for that with the other stolen relics. So if he knew the backstory of the IG/gems, why would he not take them all given the importance/power we all assume it to behold? If Loki were to have bargained the gem for the cube we would have been shown that. What were were explicitly told at the beginning of Avengers was Loki bargain the the cube for Earth. Quote:

I think it's pretty clear that Thanos was/is still after the Cosmic Cube. Maybe he doesn't want to try and take the Infinity Gauntlet from Odin yet. Thanos is waiting for the perfect time to put all of the events of his plan in motion . As we saw in Marvel's The Avengers, he wasn't exactly expecting resistance. But that doesn't mean that he's any less excited about the prospect of taking on the Avengers.
The last we saw of the Cosmic Cube it was being taken to Asgard. Maybe at the end of Thor: The Dark World we see someone or something stealing the Tesseract and then realizing that the Infinity Gauntlet is in the vault as well. Odin is getting older, Thor is probably in the process of becoming the King of Asgard and the Destroyer is gone. Loki has served his purpose. Asgard will be as weak as ever in Thor: The Dark World. Or, picture this. Post-credit scene of Thor: The Dark World we see a figure in the dark or Odin's vault. He's stumbling around maybe knocking stuff over. He walks up to the Cosmic Cube, we still haven't seen his face yet. Then we see him walk up to the Infinity Gauntlet. The light hits his face and guess who we see? It's Star-Lord! Just an idea. |

I think if any GOTG character is gonna want in on Odin's vault, it'll be the Collector. There was already that rumour of the actor playing Tyr saying he shot a scene with Benicio del Toro. A character who collects powerful artifacts to use against Thanos? Odin's crib is a goldmine.

Not all of the artifacts are known to everyone. I think the only person in the MCU right now that knows what they all do is probably Odin. Thanos probably only cares about the Cosmic Cube and the Infinity Gauntlet. Loki and Thor only know about the Cosmic Cube and the Casket of Ancient Winters. Back to your original question about the vault getting raided. What if Star-Lord raids it and sells all of these artifacts around the universe? At least one or two of them will somehow end up on Earth. Just to set up Doctor Strange and others will be acquired by Surtur and other beings in the Marvel Universe/Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Star-Lord keeps one, probably the Infinity Gauntlet or maybe a gem or two, and is tracked by Thanos and his underlings.

However, do not ignore the obvious here. We know we're getting Dr. Strange, so at least one of those artifacts beyond the suspected IG is going to get removed. Then you have the assumption Surtur will be coming up in T:TDW or the third film and he'll need the Eternal Flame. Based on characters we know we're going to see in Guardians, it would make far more sense The Collector being the one who takes other artifacts than Star Lord. There's no rumor of a Chris Pratt cameo in T:TDW either. |

I know more artifacts will get taken. That's why it makes sense for the Collector to take them all. I just thought it would be funny to see the unsuspecting Star-Lord bumbling around the trophy room in the dark knocking stuff over. Both ways introduce the Guardians of the Galaxy movie but I think showing your lead actor doing it would be a decent idea. I think we will end up getting a Guardians of the Galaxy post-credit scene in Thor: The Dark World. I think it'll end up being the Collector too. But to say that it couldn't be a Chris Pratt, Peter Quill/Star-Lord cameo just because we haven't heard is kind of dumb. We didn't hear about the Nick Fury cameo or the Thanos cameo.

Ofc Loki knows of the IG. He was raised as a son by the Allfather in Asgard. It´s also Loki we are talking about here. It´s not strange to make Loki know of the IG without earlier introducton of him learning it. Why not take the IG given its power/importance? An excellent question ofc. I must admit, I can´t see any reason for why he shouldn´t have taken more gems or the entire gauntlet. If you had to guess on this Rock, what would you think? Would we have been show that? I don´t think so. The Chitauri had big plans using the cube so that they could acess new worlds. Loki would get Midgard. So let me ask you, what would Thanos get? I see it like this. Loki can offer the gem to Thanos. Chitauri can invade Midgard and give Loki the planet. Chitauri can offer tech to get there via the cube. But why would they give Loki tech and help him take the planet? Loki knew of the cube and it was not of importance for him, he wanted to rule. Basically Loki can offer Thanos the gem if Thanos can offer Chitauri the cube if they offer him a scepter which will allow Loki to take Midgard and therefore forfill giving Thanos his gem.

What you're suggesting for Star-Lord because it "would be funny" is again sort've moot. Got to look at these things objectively. There is no way Star-Lord would ever find his way into the vault. BTW, the Dr. Strange relic I mentioned isn't the case. I forgot Feige said a while back it was the Warlock's Eye. He also said there is a sword that may or may not be Eternal (i.e. Surtur) and the fact that there was one sub-chamber missing it's artifact. Clearly we assume that to be for the Cube. Spoiler!!!

The movie clearly spoke the purpose of the exchange via The Other's beginning speech ..... "The world his (i.e. Loki) and the universe yours (i.e. Thanos)." He was referring to Earth being Loki's and the rest of the universe going to Thanos after he gets his hands on the Cube because it's going to open up all the doorways for him. Quote:

Why would The Collector do that for Thanos though? I guess we'd find out. Could be all kinds of neat directions they could go in with that. |

I see. In that case you are correct. I always thought that The Other was the leader/king of the Chitauri and that he met with Thanos so the army would be The Other´s directly but Thanos indirectly since Thanos had promised the Other and his Chitauri army the possibility to conquer worlds with the cube (super fast travel) I mean the Chitauri has 1 goal? "The Chitauri claim to be part of "the immune system of the Universe", wiping out disorder and free will wherever they find it. " Mcu thought could be that the immune system erradicates all the free will people and therefore forfill the one thing that can impress Death. So it´s not strange that Thanos want the cube for the Chitarui. I don´t think you can say it like the Universe was for Thanos. Thanos has 1 wish, he wants to sit by the side of Death and to do so he must balance the K : D ratio by killing half the universe, what better way to do that than with being the leader of The Other in exchange for them having possibility to travel in space? Oh yeah the IG could be better but he tried that once and Odin did beat him. So now that his plan failed, how can he get the cube or the IG? Last edited by Mightyally; 07-28-2013 at 02:29 PM. |

lol. You mean Ultron needing a power source powerful enough to allow him nearly infinite upgrades and what is oft-described as invincible durability doesn't logically allow for him to use such an item that is described as having that exact functionality?
Is there a power source that would allow for that on earth? Or in physical science in general? Perhaps he'll harness the power of the sun? Would that be better logic for you?

Thanos is the one connecting all of these characters though. Except for maybe Groot, Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord.

I'm not so sold on that. I think he is going to be an anti-hero of sorts. He's going to try and track the Star-Lord, much like everyone else is. He's doing it to help protect against Thanos though. While Ronan and Korath and either serving Thanos or Kree interests. Yondu is a space pirate looking for treasure. I think he's going to have a special relationship with Star-Lord. So it's personal between those two. Much like it is between Nebula and Gamora. Nebula wants to be related to Thanos while Gamora does not. So Nebula will try to get what Gamora and the Guardians of the Galaxy have to please Thanos. Now Thanos has another group much like the Avengers who are making things more interesting for him. I think the Collector will be killed before letting everyone know that Thanos is a threat. Thus leaving Thanos to tread around the Universe, undetected. |

"He, who put the scepter in your hand?" ―The Other "He," here referring to Thanos. The scepter was gifted to Loki by Thanos.

I meant that The Other physically handed it to him. You could see it in the movie's opening. But semantically speaking, Thanos created it .... much like the Chitauri race. The Chitauri's handed Loki nothing.

What led you to believe Thanos created the Chitauri? Just wondering, I think I missed that portion of the speculation.
