Our favorite Murderous-Purple-Space-Titan alien baddie Thanos, is being set up by the MCU as the big bad guy of the whole universe so far! When we think of Thanos, I think we can all agree we all think of the infinity gauntlet and we all share the excitement, but I believe the MCU will not use the infinity gauntlet, but just use Thanos as a character.
I'm sure some of you are a little confused still. Let me explain. The MCU don't keep 100% faithful to the comics. Some people may see that as a bad thing, others a good thing. What ever your views on the changes are, they're still gonna happen. No matter how much people rant over villain twist, and race changes, and slight changes to their origin or whatever, changes will still happen. I think the next big change will be Thanos' signature weapon, the infinity gauntlet!
For those of you that don't know, the infinity gauntlet is a golden glove worn by Thanos that needs 6 "infinity gems" to work properly. Already the MCU changed that slightly. They're no longer gems, but stones. Infinity stones. So far only 2 are confirmed to be infinity stones. The tesseract,(as seen in Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers) and the Aether (as seen in Thor The Dark World). Now, I don't know about you, but I think the Tesseract and the Aether are 2 very oddly shaped stones., and I cannot imagine them fitting in a gauntlet with out it looking really, really, REALLY weird.
So how will Thanos use the infinity stones power? I think he will absorb the power out of the artifact, just like Malekith did with the aether in Thor The Dark World. Both stones have energy looking smoke stuff, that looks absorbable. The Aether had that red smoke, and the tesseract has that blue energy inside it. They look absorbable to me. So I think Thanos will suck up the Infinity stones, and then the power is in him, or something among those lines.
Another reason I think they won't use the gauntlet, in the mid credits for Thor 2 Volstag says "it's not wise to keep 2 infinity stones too close together" and they're referring to the tesseract that is locked up in Asgard! At no point do they mention the gauntlet itself, which is shown in the background of the first Thor. So I think marvel is just gonna ignore that.
I could be completely wrong, who knows? We'll have to wait and see!
Before you leave though, I did figure something out that could either be coincidence or I'm a genius.
The 6 infinity gems are different colors. The MIND gem is BLUE, what else is blue in the MCU? THE TESSERACT! What did Loki use the Tesseract for in The Avengers? Oh yeah! To control people's MINDS! Pretty weird...
Also the POWER gem is RED, the Aether is red, and what was that line Thor said in Thor the Dark World? "you know, with all that POWER I thought you would hit harder!" I also remember them saying throughout the movie that the Aether is pure power.
They're the 2 confirmed infinity stones, I think I figured out which ones they are! Or, again I could be completely off! I think the next stone will be revealed in guardians of the galaxy. I think that spear that star lord is carrying is one of the stones, I feel like its time. I'll wait and see!
Thank you for reading, and keep in mind that I am 15 year guy and it's 1:35 AM as I type this, so I do apologize for any mistakes or awkward wording or anything like that! I'd also really appreciate if you could help spread my theory! Thanks again!
