I wonder now if Thanos knows about the Aether if he is or was still able to observe Earth. I also wonder if he wants the scepter back. I'm pretty sure he still wants the tesseract. I figured Asgard probably made the containment for the Aether because they made the first one. I'm just wondering if they are the natural containments for the Aether if it is supposed to be a stone unless the Aether has to be transmuted in some way to become solid as a stone. Basically, ( with the exception of the Orb ) why do they call them stones if they don't look like stones ? In the GOTG trailers the Orb looks like a container. Maybe the names Tesseract,Aether,and Orb are the containers for the powers inside of them which are the Infinity Stones/Gems. I wonder what the connection is between the stones and the gauntlet ( which already has gems embedded in it ) and the stones ( tesseract and aether ) which don't resemble the look of a stone at all. Some kind of way these elements have to be refined into stones to fit the gauntlet. The Aether seems very unstable when it is not crystallized. Kevin Feige confirmed they are stones, I just wonder why they don't look like stones. In the crave online interview from Nov.2013, the question..." Is the Aether, crystallized, also one of the gems?"

Kevin responded by saying....." Yes." I want to drill him with questions so bad ! :-)
