Marvel Studios can seemingly do no wrong but an argument could be made that they've mishandled Thanos over the past few years. He first popped up at the end of The Avengers in a brilliant mid-credits scene but then made a small cameo appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy and later popped up at the end of Age of Ultron where he made it clear that he was ready to start collecting the Infinity Stones.
That seemingly came as a result of the Mad Titan being fed up with the likes of Loki, Gamora, and Ronin letting him down but many fans were baffled by the appearance of the Infinity Gauntlet in what looked like an air vent and the implication that Thanos had been sitting around doing nothing.
Now, Avengers: Infinity War screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have weighed in on the scene and it doesn't sound like they're fans of the choices Joss Whedon made with the villain.
At the end of Ultron, he said “Fine, I’ll do it myself.”
Stephen McFeely: Not our movie.
[laughter]
Christopher Markus: And we’ve all sat there and went, “What the hell is he talking about? Where was he when he did that?”
There was also the other gauntlet in [Odin’s treasure room].
Stephen McFeely: Another delightful, delightful problem.
Christopher Markus: Odin’s a bit of a showman. Thanos turns out to have quite a few people to talk to both on his side and not on his side. Weirdly I think he’s the most understandable guy in the movie sometimes.
So, it doesn't sound like we should expect to revisit this scene in Avengers: Infinity War but it will be interesting seeing if the movie sheds any light on where Thanos found the real Infinity Gauntlet and why he chose to send others to find the Infinity Stones for such a long time.
