How Thanos got the jewel of the mind for Loki

An explanation of how crazy Titan was made with the jewel of the mind that he would later lend to Loki for his needs in The Avengers.

One of the details in which few fans of the Marvel film universe have fallen – a logical oversight for Avengers' plot: Infinity War (Joe and Anthony Russo, 2018) – is that Loki ( Tom Hiddleston) wore a scepter with the jewel of the spirit in The Avengers (Joss Whedon, 2012) when he attacked the Earth with the Chitauri, and it was delivered by the genocidal future Thanos (Josh Brolin ) as badumed by the inter-credit scene of the film. After the defeat of the invaders, Hydra member Baron Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann) took control of Gem, the superheroes seized from Avengers: The Age of Ultron (Whedon, 2015 from where the villain came out. Robotic film (James Spader) and none other than the friend Vision (Paul Bettany).

And, as we saw in Infinity War, the Crazy Titan tore it from his forehead to retrieve it, killing him with it. But how did he get it before The Avengers? According to Thomas Bacon in Screen Rant, we would find the answer in the novel Thanos: Titan Consumed, written by American Barry Lyga (All Roads Lead Away). He tells us the origins of Thanos until he understands the utility of infinite gems to achieve a balanced cosmos through universal genocide. And, in one of his episodes, after failing in his attack on Asgard to seize the jewel of reality – which, later, in Thor: The Dark World (Alan Taylor, 2013), it would end up being guarded by Taneleer Tivan, the collector (Benicio del Toro), consists of his meeting with the sage Lorespeaker in an old planetary system destroyed.

Titan the fool had come there in search of his advice, this individual being dedicated to the safeguarding of all the cosmic legends, including that of the gems of the infinite, in which Thanos himself no longer believed. And the Lorespeaker told him his story, that of the six singularities before the Big Bang that were fashioned in the Gems after that, and made sure that he knew where they were. Thanos remaining skeptical, he revealed that he possessed the Gem of Mind and that he had been banished from the fear that he aroused. He wished to use it to transfer his mind into the body of Thanos. And such a thing would have happened if Nabya (Karen Gillan) and Gamora (Zoe Saldana), her daughters, had saved her, the Lorespeaker had finished the kaput and the crazy Titan could have kept the gem of mind that he would later join Chitauri Scepter. brandished by Loki.

What is perhaps not very well understood is how Thanos was happy to lend it to Loki because of the incalculable value he had for him, being the only one he had appropriated up to now, and especially if one considers that the evil god of Asgard, an ice giant, in truth, might not want to return it to his new boss and betray him. But we can badume that the Crazy Titan would not think that it would be difficult to recover with its enormous power or that the land could defeat Loki and Chitauri, according to the words of their leader on the inter-credit scene included in The Avengers "No, they are the cowardly bastards they promised us, they are planted, they are rebellious and therefore ungovernable." Whatever the case may be, and even if Barry Lyga's book is not Canonic, he wrote it by collaborating actively with Marvel Studios and, in fact, would fit seamlessly into the plot of his cinematic universe so far, we welcome him.
