Guardians of the Galaxy To Infinity and Beyond: The Thanos Thread

[Imjenn]

Nathan Fillion for Thanos.

Only if we can have a Captain Hammer style Thanos. That's right, you heard it here first. Avengers 3 will be a musical!

 

[jaqua99]

As for Death, I want her to be a figment of Thanos imagination. He's so crazy that only he can see and hear her.

I want a mid/post credit scene where Thanos has just destroyed Asgard. He's standing by himself around the bodies of fallen Asgardians, including Loki, and the camera is close up on his face. He looks down and we see the Infinity Gauntlet. Then it shifts over and we see Death standing on some rubble. Thanos looks over to her. We the hear a voiceover from the first Avengers, "To challenge them, is to court Death." Then Death begins to fade away and cut to black.

Wouldn't make any sense. Especially when stones aren't inside it. Though, I'd be willing to bet the stones contain the energies of the gems.

[Dr. Thanos]

I wouldn't have him destroy Asgard, though it does sound intense. I would just have him burst his way in, get the Infinity Gauntlet, and while Sif, the Warriors Three, some guards and Loki, who is standing in the back corner "hidden" are looking at and surrounding him, he slides the gauntlet on, closes his eyes, glares up at Loki, showing he can see him when no one else can, grins, and disappears. (Holy run-on sentence) He would then appear on his little moon throne thing and *your interaction between him and Death*.

Here's the thing, though. It's been established in The Dark World that the Infinity Gems are not in the gauntlet, given that the Tesseract and the Aether are separate from it. Additionally, Sif said something about being dangerous to keep two gems together, and since the Tesseract is already on Asgard, it's safe to assume the gauntlet we saw in Odin's vault doesn't have any real Infinity Gem.

So, the Infinity Gauntlet from the first Thor movie is probably only just a replica or, most likely, a background easter egg that won't hold any value in the future. It wouldn't make sense for Thanos to barge in and take something that isn't the real deal.

 

[AlexanderLykins]

I never said that Thanos had all of the gems did I? You guys might want to go back and read my post. He destroys Asgard with only three or four oft he gems, maximum.

But you said...

... I would just have him burst his way in, get the Infinity Gauntlet...

Why would he take the gauntlet in the vault at all, if it's not the real one? The only reason he would invade Asgard is to recover the Tesseract. Getting a powerless glove seems superfluous.

That's someone else's quote.

Also, what do you mean it's not the real one? Are you privy to information that we aren't? The Infinity Gauntlet is on Asgard, that's a fact.

Oh, sorry, mixed up the quotes a little.

Yes, the Infinity Gauntlet we saw in Thor can't be the real thing. It conflicts with two established facts of the movies:
One, that the Infinity Gems are scathered throughout the universe (as seen with the Tesseract and the Aether), and can't be the gems on the gauntlet.
Two, the Asgardians worry about keeping two Infinity Gems in the same location. That's why they gave the Aether to the Collector, because the Tesseract was already on Asgard.

I don't believe they're going to give real weight to a small cameo, especially since it contradicts more recent information. It's going to be the same as Captain America's shield in Iron Man.

 

[AlexanderLykins]

The thing about Captain America's shield was that it wasn't really his shield.

Regarding the Infinity Gauntlet, I have a feeling that the gems are already in the gauntlet. The power was probably stripped from the gems and put into all of the different artifacts.

 

[Eddie]

Both of the stones we've seen were essentially power sources. I'm thinking the stones will charge the gems in Avengers 3 (Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet?).

As for the Cap shield Tony had, it's probably a prototype of some sort. His dad did make the real deal in the MCU, after all.

Instead of responding to each, I'll just have a blanket response.

I was the one that said Thanos just "burst his way in" to Asgard. The point I was getting across there is that two Frost Giants were able to sneak their way in with Loki's special paths. They were only stopped by the Destroyer. Thanos is more powerful and knowledgable than the Frost Giants AND Loki, even without the Gauntlet. I'm sure he could find his way in and defeat any defenses Asgard would have in any secret pathway. And as AlexanderLykins said, he may already have the Space, Power and Reality Gems by the time this event comes around. And it's not like the Destroyer is there to even attempt (and fail) to stop him.

In the end, the only real difference between my idea and AlexanderLykins' original idea was to not have him destroy Asgard, but disappear (using the Space or Reality Gem) after obtaining the Gauntlet.

Also, I really don't think Odin would give a crap about a replica Infinity Gauntlet in his vault. And as others mentioned, the Gauntlet could be the real thing, with "gems" in it, but without the powers because they were stripped. I really think the gems in the Gauntlet right now could just be basically rocks that are "vessels" for the powers of the Tesseract, Aether, etc.

 

[Wildcard]

I honestly haven't ever paid much attention to the whole "Infinity Gauntlet appears in the first Thor" thing.

 

[The Endless]

What if the IG in Odin's vault is real, but at some point in the past he stripped the power from it and spread it around the universe in these different vessels (tesseract, aether, orb etc).

Maybe Odin/Asgard and Thanos have clashed before? Thanos and The Other are obviously familiar with Asgardians. Thor asks Loki "who rules the would be King". Talks about Asgards enemies and a higher form of war.

 

[JLMHodge]

Someone thought up a good idea a while back that Loki planned to take over Asgard as king in order to repay Thanos for his failure in The Avengers. The Other warned Loki about what would happen to him should he fail; perhaps Loki plans on giving Thanos the Infinity Gauntlet, assuming it is the real thing, as well as the Infinity Gems.

Thanos is coming for Loki. "There will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where he cannot find you."

I've been saying this all along concerning the IG we see in Thor. Exactly what you said. The gems/stones on the Gauntlet itself in Thor are placeholders. They aren't activated with the power they need yet. The power for each is in the artifacts we've seen. Once those are all collected the powers can be transferred from the artifacts into the vacant stones/gems that are on the gauntlet. Activating it.

That's a damn good theory. You just blew my mind with that.

I wander if we'll see that happen in the near future? Thanos attacking Asgard would be pretty cool.

 

[palewest]

Thanos attacking Asgard would be pretty cool.

Thor 3, leading into Avengers 3?

 

[Wildcard]

I doubt it...and they shouldn't do it anyway. Put Surtur in Thor 3, save Thanos for the Avengers & GOTG films. He's not a Thor villain anyway.

 

[JLMHodge]

Maybe, though Loki as Odin sending The Aether to The Collector may be a way of trying to repay Thanos.

 

[HUMANIMAL]

i went back a couple of pages but it seems this hasnt been posted before...right?

[Keyser Soze]

The only way I can see it working would be if Thor, Loki, Odin, etc all unite to go stop Surtur in Muspelheim, and that's like the big action climax. Then as a tag at the end of the film, the heroes return home to find Asgard in ruins, with Thanos having attacked in their absence, and the Infinity Gauntlet is stolen.

Yes the gems (called Infinity Stones*) can be scattered through the Universe, but does that mean the IG with the gems isn't real? We know the MCU is not a play by play of the comics, so having the stones react with the inactive gems to make them active makes sense. We know Aether = power (Gem) and the Tessract is the space (Gem) so bring the stones in contact with the IG could start up the gems to be active. Why does two matter? Wouldn't keeping them apart makes sense. I would imagine Odin had this power or close to it and scattered the stones because to much power for one individual.

*Not gems til placed in the Gauntlet.
