The greatest villain ever of the Marvel Universe , the dictator Thanos has appeared since the first stage of the MCU , but it was not until the 19th movie that this villain officially debuted. and begin the journey to collect the full set of Infinity Stones with his children.
However, after the blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War ended for a while, fans still had lingering questions about this war. One of them is: Why does a “powerful” character like Thanos have to wait for 10 years to start the journey to collect the Infinity Stones ?
Thanos is not a weak villain, that’s for sure. We saw Thanos defeat Hulk empty-handed in the early minutes of Infinity War , even without the Infinity Gauntlet . Even a god like Loki must be afraid to stand in front of Thanos .
This conqueror gave Loki the staff containing the Mind Stone in The Avengers (2012) . In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) two years later, he had an exchange with Ronan about the Power Stone . Finally, the post-credits scene of Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015) shows Thanos reaching for the empty Infinity Gauntlet , promising “I’ll do it myself.”
Many fans speculate that this hysterical Titan has waited until the powerful forces in the universe die, such as Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017) and Odin in Thor: Ragnarok (2017). ) . This also partly shows that he is a sure man in every action.
However, it turns out that the answer to this fan question has been revealed by director brothers Joe and Anthony Russo and playwright Stephen McFeely in the comments section of the Infinity War DVD set .
Stephen McFeely: “The key detail in the whole movie is when Thanos captures Nebula on his ship and delves into her brain, discovering that Gamora already knows where the Soul Stone is.”
Joe Russo: “That’s why he…”
McFeely: “Why hasn’t he done it before?”
Russo: “…Because the moment he started his journey, the whole universe was against him. If he doesn’t know where the Soul Stone is, what’s the point of this whole journey in the end?”
From the reason the filmmakers have given to explain Thanos ‘ plan , everything can only become possible when he is able to earn all 6 stones, with the Soul Stone being the eye. most important chain. Thanos needs to have enough stones to carry out his plan to “snap the whole universe” , and with just one missing, everything will definitely become meaningless.
More than that, Thanos knows the opponents he will face when he begins his plan. Those are the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy , the superheroes of the Avengers . Even the Black Order quartet is nothing compared to the above forces.
That’s why Thanos decided to make a really solid move in the Infinity War . And the question here is, even if he has successfully achieved his goal, what moves will Thanos take to fight the resistance of the rest of the universe. Everything will be revealed by Marvel in the Avengers 4 movie to be released next year.
