I guess we'll find out..
This all really makes me wonder if Thanos will ever get his hands on all six stones at once. It seems he'd be unstoppable then so I doubt it. I can't wait to see how this all shakes out.
To truly tell Thanos' story, and do the Infinity storyline
justice, the stones will have to be brought together.
And, Yes, he will be unstoppable, which would be allow the writers to shine the light on one of his most defining
characteristics.
The only one who has ever been ultimately responsible for his downfall.....Is himself...
He has never been defeated at the height of his power by force
I don't wanna get too deep about a comic villain, but many people, readers IRL and characters in the stories as well have speculated that it's the pain of rejection throughout his life, from a young child all the way to falling in love with death that drives his hunger for power, but deep down, he never really wanted it.
Warlock explains it to him a CPL times and he contemplates in the closing pages of The Infinity Gauntlet.
Edit: I was thrilled to read that Kevin feige had said that Infinity War part 1 was basically fences movie.
It will pretty much be his movie, and he will be the main character in it.
I have always said that a hero is only as good as the villain he's facing and this guy is the villain of all villains. [Reply]

Ehhhh.
Energy projections, can be produced by any stone that is true.
But the powers that they possess are extremely different.
The reason that omnipotence can be obtained by having them all is that they work together and expand each's potential.
Possessing one stone can give you power over the aspects that it controls in a specific way, but when combined with other gems the ways that those powers can be utilized expands exponentially.
For example:
The tesseract, or space gem, can allow the wielder to travel anywhere in the universe.
It was used to open a portal for the chitauri to come to Earth.
The gem in Loki's staff was the mind gym.
It allowed Loki to control the minds of Hawkeye and the scientist.
Combined with the time gem from Dr Strange.
And the soul gem that has not been revealed,
The user could be aware of every living entity anywhere in the universe know his every thought and everything he had ever done and anything he will ever do.
Basically omnipresent, and omniscient.
That's just one combo capability.
But the combo capabilities are pretty much, well, infinite. [Reply]

Maybe. I liked Planet Hulk better than WWH though, and there is no way they can do it justice as a subplot in a single movie. Across multiple movies, maybe. I would still have doubts, but we'll see. [Reply]

And Just to reiterate, a user that could handle it, could pull off what you described with the power stone alone.
It's the muscle in the bunch.
Someone with the guantlet would not need to do anything like that.
With but a split second thought, asgard will have never existed, if the wielder wishes it.
Thanos killed off half of the life in the enire Universe with but a thought to please mistress death [Reply]

I'm not a comic book reader and I admit I'm getting comic book movied out at this point so take this with a grain of salt, but this looks shitty. Even though I'm not the biggest comic book movie fan right now, I like the GotG trailer and the Spiderman trailer was cool (even though I felt they revealed far too much) but this trailer looks shitty to me, just like the other two Thor movies. Just too childish and cheesy for me. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
