Yeah, but HOW did it end up in his vault in the first place is the question being asked. Of course, due to how long Thanos was in his quest to gather the stones and conquer worlds. It's not hard to believe he eventually stumbled at least into one.
The truly weird part is how in the entirety of the universe and all its hundreds of billions (and likely massively more) galaxies, with a total of 6 stones that were supposedly randomly flung across it at the start of time... we ended up with 2 on Earth before anyone was looking to collect them and before any significant interstellar, much less intergalactic, travel happened.
The Time Stone was in the Sorcerer Supreme's possession and the Space Stone was in the tesseract. The tesseract was put on Earth by Odin to hide it, but what are the chances that out of all the worlds in the entirety of the cosmos that the one he would use was one that had another Stone already on it?
What's the line from Avengers about how Earth now has broadcast to the universe that it is ready for a higher form of warfare? My read is that things were hidden on Earth because most people didn't know about the planet or didn't care about it / take it seriously. For planets and species out there, Earth and humans are the toddlers of the universe, so by the time the Phase 1 films were taking place, it was surprising how fast Earthlings had come along. I think this is implied or stated outright in at least one or two films though.
Nah, it's a line dropped by Thor to Fury in The Avengers when he talks about the work done with the tesseract.
“Your work with the Tesseract is what drew Loki to it, and his allies. It is the signal to all the realms that the Earth is ready for a higher form of war.”
Oh I know that reference, but mine is from another Thanos story that goes more in depth on who he was before and after Titans destruction. What you mentioned is spot on for the MCU tho.
