[[folder: The Collector]]
* I've seen, both on the character page for the movie and the YMMV page, the claim that Thor 2 suggested that the Collector was working for Thanos. Uhm... how, exactly? I didn't get that vibe ''at all''. His whole, "One down, five to go" line doesn't necessarily hint at that. He's the ''Collector''. He collects things. That's what he does. That's his whole shtick. Of course he would want to collect the infinity gems for himself. So was there something I missed or can't remember in the Thor 2 stinger or was this theory just a leap in logic?

*** Also, it was the idea that since Ronan had the Infinity Stone, and as such the power to destroy just about every living creature, Rocket Raccoon was essentially saying 'I've got nothing to lose.'

[[folder:Rocket's lifespan]]
* Rocket says that he hasn't got that long of a lifespan. But how would he know that if he's the only one of his kind and he doesn't even know what a raccoon is?

** It's possible that the Asgardian's line about having two in the same vault being 'too dangerous' was more about making it more of a target for someone like Thanos.

** Ronan also opened up the window in order to start blasting at the Nova Corps ships to weaken their net holding his ship back, and I don't recall him closing it again. So regardless of the defenses on the window, there's the fact that Ronan opened a big gaping hole in it himself. Probably once the nose of Rocket's ship got inside, momentum did the rest.

[[folder: The Aether in the Collector's possession]]
* In the MCU, the [[ThorTheDarkWorld Aether]] is an Infinity Stone. Why did it not react when the other stone was in the same vicinity? Also, was it destroyed when his assistant went crazy?

** The bridge was protected by its own shield, which was why Gamora had to power it down so that the others could get in. Plus, it would be the most heavily protected part of the ship, which is why they went for one of the hangars instead.

*** Plus, it's not even the first time in the film that Quill stopped someone in their tracks by flabbergasting them with Earth pop culture and customs. See the "finger across throat" gesture and his attempt at dancing with Gamora.

** Remember when the Ravager fleet fired at the ship when the fight started and the shield blocked it? Chances are that when Gamora killed the ship's security, she deactivated that shield, which allowed Rocket to fly in and take that shot.

* You can plant a cutting of almost anything, and with some luck it will take root. Clearly this was the desired result, or they wouldn't have put it in soil in the first place.
* In that case, are there now thousands of Groots across the galaxy from every place bits of Groot got hacked/torn off? Also, if it's so easy to make more Groots, how is he the last of his kind? (Maybe the others would be clones, but even identical twins have some differences.)

** Ronan was definitely having a moment - it isn't enough to kill the people of Xandar, he has to make them suffer first (including demanding they renounce any gods they worship, etc.). Some goof dancing in front of him ruins that moment and probably bothered his pride.

** In fairness to Ronan, Quill went all out with the distraction, and [[spoiler: after being blown up that many times and being unphased, you're allowed a little overconfidence. It wasn't like he was in a hurry to finish things, since he was already monologuing when Quill started dancing.]]
