Damn adaptation in inaccuracies!
The colours of the stones don't seem to match the comics anyway, so I don't think the staff's stone and the tesseract both being blue automatically means the one in the staff can't be an infinity stone.
The Power stone (red) is typically considered to be the Orb, which is purple in the movies.
The Reality stone (yellow) is typically considered to be the Aether, which is red in the movies.
The Space stone (purple) is typically considered to be the Tesseract, with is blue in the movies.
The Mind stone (blue) fits the staff's ability to mind-control people (which Loki never had before gaining the staff), and the staff's stone is blue in the movies.
And there's no reason to show it in the Infinity Gauntlet teaser if it's not an Infinity Stone.
No, the fact that they share the same color doesn't mean they can't be different stones.
The fact that we've seen the colors of each of the Infinity Stones in the movies (specifically Got G), with there only being one blue one, suggests that they are not both stones. And since we know the Tesseract is one, that leaves the sceptre out.
If this thread is going to be continuing the argument over from the main MCU thread about those stupid stones, I hope it at least all moves to this thread so I can ignore it without having the MCU thread cluttered up.
Nah, we figure that the more we post the faster this movie will come out. Our goal is for this December.

they have really good turnaround on these they can totally do it
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau Project
One is about the whole MCU, this one is about this specific story-line. Not about the Civil War, not about the TV-Shows, just about the question where the infinity stones are, how Thanos will acquire them all (who else believes that he might attack Nova again? Or conduct a plan to steal the gem in Got G 2?), and how they will split the final in two movies.
well, this is more specifically for Avengers 3, that one covers every single Phase 3 movie, and oh lawd there are a lot.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectI'd love to see to twist by a twist by the end of Part 1 where Thanos gets knocked off the Big Bad Pedestal by Shuma Gorath because the walls of reality were weakened too much by Thanos's use of the gauntlet. It'd not only be a great bait-and-switch but a clever nod to The Thanos Imperative as well.
Someone mentioned that they might forego on the whole "Thanos being a whiny Dogged Nice Guy to Death" arc a while back, and I'm wondering if this is because the filmmaker's might feel the need to make him more threatening.
If this is the case, what's Thanos' motivation for killing off half the universe? For Evulz? Because he's mad with power? Seems kind of flimsy by comparison.
You are displaying abnormally high compulsions to over-analyze works of fiction and media. Diagnosis: TV Tropes Addiction.
Except that doesn't make it that interesting though. As corny as Thanos being in love with Death was, it at least gave some credence to his barest shreds of humanity. Making him want to rule over everything just...because he feels compels to wouldn't feel as compelling.
I'll admit, I lol'd at that.
But the movies have their own continuity. It wouldn't be the first time a character gets rewritten. I admit I am not an expert, but even I know that Bucky used to be Captain America's sidekick, not his protector during childhood, Jane Foster used to be a nurse, and was there ever a story about Loki killing his real father to get the approval of his adoptive one?
Courting Death is Thanos's defining thing. It's what makes him Thanos, as opposed to literally any other villain out there. Without that, he's just a brick that does evil things.
It's like adapting Spider-Man but taking Uncle Ben out and establishing that Peter immediately became a superhero after he got his powers because he's just nice like that.

This times a thousand. Thanos is a powerful threat but just like Marvel characters which focus on relatable characters, having him a dogged nice guy after Death's affection not only makes him seem more human but also makes him significantly creepier. It not underscores how immoral he is to sexually harass the personification of death incarnate but also how self involved he is with himself that not only is he an advocate of dying but how he believes he is on a god like level to be the incarnate of destruction.
I wouldn't mind if the MCU version of "Death" was simply a figment of Thanos's warped mind. Lends a bit of tragedy to his character.
Hell, maybe MCU Thanos was mysteriously immortal since birth and was a cool guy for a time, but countless eons of living without any meaningful purpose eventually did a number on his sanity.
OR
They could have Hela (possibly introduced in Thor 3) adapted to be a Composite Character of herself and Death and have her be influencing Thanos for her own reasons. And yes, I'd keep the fact that she's Loki's daughter adapted in just to complicate things further (in a fun way).

I am not sure if I can wrap my mind around the concept of Death being a real person. Especially since the MCU emphasised multiple times that Thor is not really a god, just a powerful being which lives very, very long.
I like the figment of Thanos imagination idea, though they shouldn't make it too goofy.
I don't know. A person that personifies death, like the grim reaper or something, could fit depending on what's introduced in future films. While so far the movies have been more on the sci-fi end of thing, Strange is going to introduce straight up magic. The Infinity Stones themselves are already pretty mythic objects. Including an actual mythic figure, and not someone that just inspired myths, doesn't seem too far fetched.
