Thanks. I don't see much difference between reality and space, but knowing Marvel each stone has their own unique power properties. I just still get them mixed up. I want to just call them the name they were given in the movie universe and not the comics, i.e. orb, aether, tesseract, scepter (?).

Assuming the mind gem is not the scepter, there are 3 left. Thanos is already a formidable foe without them, but I could see him already using the soul gem. I believe it was the first one he had in the comics, but I could be mistaken.

After thinking about it, it would be interesting to learn more about why the Collector wanted the orb to give to Warlock once Warlock was ready. Perhaps the Collector wanted to create a champion to fight Thanos and wanted the orb and aether to power him up.
