Well GotG confirms everyone's suspicions that Thanos is obviously after all 6 Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet.

Tesseract - Asguard
Aether - Collector
??? - Nova Prime
??? - ???
??? - ???
??? - ???

Are we going to start seeing new infinity stones like every movie before Avengers 3?  :lol
I was thinking about this and Loki's staff from Avengers probably had the Mind Gem/Stone.

And James Gunn said on Twitter that the stone in possesion of the Novas now is the Power Stone.

If Thanos wants these stones so badly, he's going about getting them in strange ways. He sends Loki, armed with the mind gem, who immediately gets the tesseract. Then instead of ordering the tesseract returned to himself immediately, he for some reason lets Loki keep it to invade earth. Which lead to him losing two of the stones in one failed mission, instead  of safely having both of them, which he totally could have.

You could say it's because Loki is supposed to be captured to get the Infinity Gauntlet on Asgard, but that is whole lot of unnesserary stuff being done to get Loki captured, if that theory is turns out to be true.

In Guardians he was more straight forward however, which made more sense, and it was awesome finally seeing and hearing Thanos properly. Guardians was a great movie. My favorite of the "Avengers series" so far, though I am still debating with myself whether to put it above or below Days of Future Past.

Oh, is the stone in Loki's staff a separate one?  I assumed it was just something he was using to further channel the tesseract's power.

There's nothing for sure on that, but since he could control people with it, I'm now thinking it might've been the Mind Gem and not some Tesseract thing.

I thought it was powered by the tesseract too, but recently there has been so much discussion about the scepter stone being the mind gem that I eventually just sort of bought it. Speaking against that theory is of course that his scepter stone and the tesseract is the exact same color. Which of course makes it even more confusing, should it actually turn out to be the mind gem.

Well, the sceptre was seen again at the end credits scene in The Winter Soldier, helping to keep Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch imprisoned.  So I think it is definitely separate from the Tesseract.  In fact, Loki brought it with him and used it before recovering the Tesseract in The Avengers, so it is completely separate from the Tesseract, whether it is an Infinity Stone or not.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

That seems like it is probably correct, but not necessarily.  I mean, if it is either an extension of the tesseract or is able to be powered or boosted by the tesseract, why would it necessarily have to be in close proximity to the tesseract for that to occur?  The tesseract was being manipulated from afar before Loki came to earth.  I thought that was perhaps being done through the stone in Loki's scepter because the two are somehow linked.  Obviously, I am just speculating, but the point is that we just don't know how these things are supposed to work.  I don't think any theory is off the table.

I read an article the other day, but now I can't seem to find it, where Kevin Feige (the guy in charge of the cinematic universe) says that the stone in Loki's staff is not an Infinity Gem. James Gunn confirmed the purple stone in Guardians is the Power Gem. The Tesseract is also confirmed to be the Space Gem (also in that article I can't find). The popular theory is that the Aether is the Reality Gem.

Well, the Tesseract was always called the Cosmic Cube, right? So it would only make sense.

This is perhaps my favorite costume, despite the fact that I really don't like Renner's Hawkeye very much. But I think he looks pretty ballin' in that getup.

DTP says "WOW, LOOK AT THAT GREAT POST"

Ditto... though jingle.kids and I will be watching tonight.  Funny enough, jingle.daughter is the biggest fan in this house.  So, let's all agree to wait a few days before posting any spoilers.

I guess.  I mean, I trust them, so we'll see how it plays out.

I guess I would rather them finish out the Infinity Gems storyline before introducing Civil War.  But maybe the Infinity Gems is the long play, not finishing up until years from now.

Also, my friend found an image on Marvel's official SDCC page when that was going down this summer, containing the titles and dates of release for the next 9 MCU movies. I didn't think much of it first, since no one ever mentioned it and there was absolutely no fuzz created. But more and more news that has come start to match it, from announcements of release dates to movie titles.

Are we two the only ones who saw this image? Anyone else here see it?

I saw it, but I thought it was quickly denounced.

If I'm not mistaken, it featured a new Thor film entitled Ragnarok, a third CA film titled Fallen Son, and the Avengers 3 was titled Civil War, along with Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, the Guardians sequel (don't remember the title), along with a new Hulk film (Indestructible Hulk?)

Yeah, it was:

Ant-Man (july 17th, 2015), which is confirmed.
Captain America: The Fallen Son (may 6th, 2016), date later confirmed, and now the reports that the title is correct.
Doctor Strange (july 8, 2016), confirmed.
Thor: Ragnarok (may 5th, 2017), not confirmed yet.
Guardians of the Galaxy: War of Kings (july 28th, 2017), date later confirmed.
Black Panther (november 3rd, 2017), not confirmed.
Avengers: Civil War (july 6th, 2018), title makes a whole lot more sense after today's news.
World War Hulk (november 2nd, 2018), not confirmed.
Inhumans (may 3rd, 2019), not confirmed.

Not nearly this much was confirmed when I first saw the image.

I still think that was a preliminary thing.  For example, I doubt very seriously that we will have World War Hulk, amongst the Civil War and later a conflict with Thanos.

I also don't see how Black Panther fits in with any of that.

Eh, probably just a gratuitous crossover so that he doesn't have to stay limited to Agents of SHIELD.

BTW, I am really enjoying the second season thus far, and I'm looking forward to Agent Carter in the mid-season.

Thanos was oririnally supposed to be the villain in the second "Avengers" movie.
 What happened with that?

Nobody ever said it was definitely supposed to be in the second Avengers movie.  If you have seen the Marvel movies, you know that he is in fact one of the key players trying to acquire the infinity stones, which is one of the major overarching storylines in the Marvel universe movies.  So I'm not sure what you mean by "What happened with that?"  That storyline is happening.  Not sure where your confusion comes from.

I think most people assumed they would save Thanos for the third one, considering that storyline needs a lot of setting up. In other news, loads of talks about Captain America 3 being the Civil War story with Cap and Iron Man on opposing sides. I don't know how you could do that storyline without Spider-Man, but I would love to see it either way.

There has been more and more rumors about Marvel buying back Spider-Man, or potentially "loaning" the character, so who knows. Sony as a company overall aren't doing too well, and while Spider-Man is their big cash cow, their own franchise has gotten flack from both critics and fans, and considering the situation I think something could happen.

Still, the figures we are talking if Marvel would buy him back, billions.. I don't see them spending that money. They could, but why would they? They're doing very well already and Spider-Man wouldn't add much. How many people who saw The Amazing Spider-Man 2, did not see The Avengers? It's still the same crowd, and while in the long run, Marvel's own Spider-Man saga would bring in loads of bucks, it would take them a while to turn it around.
