Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-68.82.245.72-20150216083341

These are my comments; & guesses (& some facts) - on where we are in the MCU (& where we've been - to an extent).

This is just a statement, to start with: "I wonder, in Marvel's History" - "I wonder WHO has held each of the Infinity Gems(Stones); & for what purposes - how did they use them (besides Thanos, of course/ & also Adam Warlock).

Now to my Facts, theories (even hopes for the story). This is all, where we've seen them & where they are now-

the 6 Infinity Gems (gonna just call them Gems) -- because - I just like to list them & look at them.

1. SPACE GEM - Was in Captain America: the first Avenger & also the Avengers

Currently in the possession of Loki (presumably) - because it was taken to Asgard -after 'Avengers' - & then in THOR 2: the Dark World, LOKI is set free - later, he tricks Odin, & takes his place - so one would assume he has it now (+ I have an idea that Loki is working(he thinks) with Thanos - for whatever end -- probably thinks he'll recieve the Throne of Asgard...

USAGE(s) - Apparently - so ar - it has been able to bend space 0 & create portals to any point in the Universe. Red Skull was sucked up when he held it & transported to another part of the Universe - & Loki used it to go from where he was, with Thanos - directly to Nick Fury (possible other uses too)

2. POWER GEM - Was in Guardians of the Galaxy & I have a feeling that we'll see it again (before - Thanos connects it to the Gauntlet)

Last seen in the possession of the NOVA Corp - near the end of Guardians of the Galaxy.

USAGE(s) - For ne - has granted Ronan the Accussor (already VERY powerful) - a Great deal of Power. And more (& I'm sure it will be showing us A LOT more that it can do, in the future).

3. Reality Gem - Was in THOR: the Dark World, & once again, I feel like it will be used again - before Thanos gets a hold of it. (Matter of Fact - I feel like ALL of them, may be used one last time, to show us ALL, the powers each possesses -- because the only other times we seen them were in various movies, spanning 11 years (when Complete)--

It was brought to the Collector, by the Warriors 3 & Lady Sif, to 'seperate' it's power from that of the Tessaract (the Space Gem). Don't know if ALL stones/Gems - need to be apart - or JUST certain ones, from one another. Then in 'Guardians' - the Collectors place is blown up - so it's either STILL there (which I DOUBT - because I don't think the Collector is gonna have THAT Big of a Story Arc - in this WHOLE thing - or, someone swooped in, & got it - & it's likely in the possession of THANOS... Being 2 for him - so far. THey'll probably explain how he got them (if need be - in one of the upcoming movies...

USAGE(s) - During the movie - It warped Reality --- for One - having the Laws of physics change - w/ the "objects"... "the keys". It was going to allow - Maleketh - the ability to throw the Universe into eternal Darkness (again), as WELL, though if the REALITY Gem could have changed Reality at will, why did he need the convergence to even do that? Shoulda been able to just say - "Eternal Darkness" & it... happens. It's a REALITY stone - remember?? Oh well, maybe I'm wrong about that completely.

4. MIND GEM - Was in Avengers - given to Loki by Thanos. This one is tricky, because many weren't sure if it WAS one or not... but it 'IS'.

This was in possession of Nick Fury, & S.H.I.E.L.D., but - at some point (I definitely missed where and when); Baron Strucker obtains it, & is seen using it - in the Credit Scenes, of I think "Winter Soldier", seeming to manipulate - Scarlette Witch & Quicksilver (The Twins) - but I think in Age of ULTRON - They'll break free, obtain it -& it will either go to Fury or Thanos will get that one back - possibly through Loki.

USAGE(s) - It grants it's barer - the ability to control others' minds (for ONE) - because that's exactly what Loki DID to various people, including Hawkeye; Dr. Selvic & others - & I blieve he intended to use it on the HULK. Also allows the bearer to communicate accross time & space - through shear -- MIND, as LokiDID - with Thanos' 1st Officer (as well as affects the minds of those near by it - as it did, by having the Avengers at one anothers throats, while Dr. Banner held it; OR just being in it's presense --- Loki was even affected by it, as you could see, when he was done he had to shake it off, & while he held it up to his head, he seemed like he was struggling).

BEFORE I keep going -- just a freindly reminder/ this is just some theories aboutthe Gems themselves, & what they do, along with anything I can think of abou them.... MY ultimate point I want to make, will come after I mention each Gem/Stone (& it's about what I think will happen with CAP)  Another think I just was thinking-- "won't it be cool, once this whole thing is over with, & we're in like 2020 - & we can litterally go back, get every singel movie tied up with this whole series, & have like an ULTRA Marathon... just watch from IRON MAN, straight through to Infinity Wars part 2... that's gonna be awsome when that time comes.... OK, so I'm gonna continue -

5. TIME GEM - I have NOT seen it yet.

Hard to tell where it'll end up in - but my guess is Captain America 3: Civil WAR - & I'll elaborate on THAT in a few... This is actually the MAIN REASON why I wanted to comment, becase I feel like I might know a pretty good possible (& probable) - plot

USAGE(s) - We havn't seen it yet, but it's capabilities are Huge -- for one it can bend Space/Time (OR Time) - send someone back or forward through time - speed it up or slow it down & probably tons more.

6. Soul Gem - I havn't seen it yet, but I'm betting we'll see it in --- either Dr. Strange; Captain Marvel or Guardians 2 (depending on how fast they want to unveil ALL 6 to us).

This is traditionally on Adam Warlocks head - as he's it's keeper - & being that we've seen his Cacoon, & the place exploded - he's probably free & out exploring the Cosmos. I'm pretty sure Captain Marvel is a Galaxy - Related Character, so she could possibly be in a movie WITH Adam Warlock, as his opposser - or just ... he's in her movie. I'm also guessing this will be a pretty BIG - Lead-in movie to Infinity Wars - as we'll be in Space - & Lots will be happening by then.

As far as it's powers go; as I've said - havn't SEEN it yet, & it's likely different from the MIND Stone/Gem - so possibly it could litterally Suck the Soul right out of the wearers opposition. Which is perfect for THANOS, because he's trying to impress Death ( I think that much is fairly clear)...

Now the Theory on - Captain America 3: Civil War

THe IDEA that the time Stone may be involved & what could happen, likely near or at the end

I think, MAYBE - CAP will be able to go back in time - to during the WAR - & recover or do something - + - It gives them a chance to bring Agent Carter BACK to the BIG SCREEN - again... & PLUS - I FEEL like CAP will decide to go back to his OWN time 0 if he has an opportunity... So he can fit in again, & so he can BE with Peggy Carter; & also, so he can STOP Hydra - from EVER infiltrating, & spreading from w/in (now that he knows what will happen - & because THAT story was SO tied into his own - in CAP 2 - Winter Soldier.

THAT is my explanation as to why the Avengers will be recruiting ("Fresh Blood" - for one, because CAP - will be back in his own time, now (& they'll use the Alternate TimeLine, rather than - if he DOES that it'll change Avengers & all sorts of other things-- it will just create another Universe, where what happened, happened & also, whateer he changes happens).. - AGAIN (not because he gets killed - which does happen in the comics, but I REALLY don't think the 'MCU' will go THAT way because it'll be too obvious to too many peoople. Just the same as, how Ultron will be used differently, than the comics (slightly) - but he DOES - create VISION/ though I'm pretty sure Hank Pym created Ultron - but I believe he'll come from Shitari - technology - & Tony Starks' tinkering - in this one...

Anyway - that is my thoughts on what will happen to CAP & why they'll need to fill his spot. Sort of a Happy ending for CAP & Peggy Carter; as well as Cap having a leg up on kowing what HYDRA wil be up to - & we might get a story where - the past has changed a bit --- & CAP - later on in life had a hand in bringing down HYDRA as they attempt to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D./ Cap will be able to live a full life with Agent Carter - & who knows; by the time - the present hits --- Captain Amerca - could still look like hes in his 40's or 50's... maybe...? (which will be right away, after Cap 3, if you think about t)

Oh- yea - & another spot MAY open - for THOR - because the NEXT Thor IS CALLED RAGNAROK - In Ragnarok - Odin get's eaten by the Gigantic Wolf - named Fenris --- it's sort of like Judgement day for (well really for Humans - in Norway & Sweeden - & Iceland - where they worshipped THOR & ODIN & all the Norse Gods! - But I think Thor - will ascend to King of ASGARD - & because of THAT, he'll not be able to partake in any adventures - too much responsibility in ASGARD, now.  He won't die or be locked up, as so many think and predict.  And - Black Panther & Captain Marvel will take his & Captain America's place.  Also, here's another idea that just popped into my head... should Loki still be playing the role of Odin, & the Real Odin is Locked away somewhere, it could be possible that Fenris will mistake him for the real Odin & eat him instead (& that will be the end of Loki, & the problem/loophole he poses -- & leaving room for a Happy ending for Thor, being able to keep his Father. But I still think Thor will become King... they've been talking about it every chance they get (& it's how we were introduced to Thor.... (& LOKI) sort of puting a wrap on THAT story--- I really don't think that they added all that to the story for nothing... It's like reading the first chapter of a book, & they mention something big(like that), then at the end.....it happens.  So IMO- THOR will NOT DIE!!

I also have a theory/thought on how these "phases" are going to be the "NEW Trilogies" -- & I wondered if, when we reach 2019 --- will that be the end of the MCU?? This one in particular. Will we get Reboots? Will they further explore the new characters, with sequels? Will we get even newer ones & a brand NEW "3 Phases" with a whole New "ulitmate Antagonist" ??

(NO to the Re-Boots!! & I really HOPE SO to everything else!!)

Those are just my basic Ideas about the Stones/Gems (which are which/ what they can do -- what movies they were in, & will likely show up in again). And then, my theory about CAP, & how his story might go.... as well as Thor, too. As far as the role Dr. Strange will play, it could be possible that either Hulk or Iron Man will be out, by the time Infinity Wars rolls around... so he'll likely take the place of one of those. I'm not sure just how lengthy Robert Downey Jr.'s contract is (but he's been in this thing since Day 1..2008; & in - I believe 4 or 5 of them - & will be in like at least 6 by the time it's over, maybe between 8-10; so we can't be mad at him if he can't stay on till the end.  THAT would make about 9.  Anyhow, that's what I wanted to say... hope you liked it, & decided to read through all of it.  I would love to hear anything regarding these topics - & anything that you know, that I don't. I love it.  so let me know.
