I also think Odin being alive at this point was a huge deterrent. Even though he wasn't as powerful as he used to be, legends of Odin's power and battle prowess are all over the galaxy. Maybe Odin was the Dumbledore to Thanos' Voldemort, the only one he ever feared.
If the Bifrost wasn't destroyed, Odin and his Army would have come to Earth to assist the Avengers. Earth is still under Asgard's protection as one of the 9 Realms.
Would’ve been cool if they kept Thanos as the Mad Titan. Assembling the gems to help his love acknowledge him. Also giving reference or straight up acknowledging Deadpool lol
As mentioned Thanos was waiting for the opportunity to collect the stones. But I think there’s some missing information that we’re not aware of. I think he actually met The Red Skull at some point and knew about the soul stone he just didn’t have a way to get it. But that’s not got Thanos interest it was The Red Skull explaining to Thanos how he got to be where he was what alerted Thanos to the whereabouts of the stones on Earth and that they were not actually in Odin’s possession as he was led to believe. In the first Thor movie we were shown that Odin had a gauntlet with what appears to be the stones. This of course turns out to be fake but maybe it’s not supposed to be real for a reason it’s supposed to be seen as Odin as having the stones in reality he didn’t have the stones but it was supposed to be known that he did have the stones in this case this would have kept people from looking for the stones if they knew that Odin had them. But if they knew that Odin didn’t have the stones then they were easily obtainable this would have been the only way to get them but this is only possible if Thanos had at some point met The Red Skull and had been told about how he got to this location without using a spaceship.
Personally, I saw Thanos's order of operations structured around the mortality of his actions. Deep down, he knew what he was doing was wrong but necessary and wanted to give the universe a chance to fight back or prove him wrong. His own personal experience, justified his actions and he studied how other groups or civilizations faced "dooms days", resulting in the name given to him as the mad titan for invading worlds. He respected the Avengers because they gave me a much unexpected level of resistance than most. Feels like he was thinking it was all too easy and that final endgame was something he looked forward too.
Another point is prior to 2013 knowone knew the location of the reality stone until Jane stumbled upon it in The dark world where it ends up being handed over to the Collector who must have opened his big month about acquiring it to someone and that information made its way to Thanos at some point as we see in Infinity war Thanos tells the Collector he knows he has the reality stone. P.S. The power stones location was also unknown as we see in Endgame Thanos says in 2014 Ronan has located the power stone so as of 2012 only 3 stones locations were known to Thanos.
Proud of the comments 💯. We all know Odin was the reason 😅. I love Thanos but neither in Live Action nor Comics has Thanos been able to beat a capable Odin.
I believe Odin and the Ancient one would of stepped in to beat Thanos if he went to Earth in 2012 that's why he waited for Odin and the ancient one to die
Those two could have put him in his place without the avengers’ assistance, however the BiFrost being destroyed and Loki’s crazed power lust (along with the others like Ronan looking for the stones) was the perfect chess move for Thanos to test everyone’s power and create an awareness for himself of where the stones were moving
If He Had attacked in 2012 He would have buried the Avengers and Loki but He would ve gotten buried equally by Odin or the ancient one. Sure He would ve gotten the space and Mind stone and would ve been the mightiest being in the universe in theory but, as we have seen with the fight on titan, a good plan and a alliance of mighty Heroes which the sorcerers and the asgardians are, he still can get defeated. He may also get the reality stone by defeating Maliketh and the power stone by getting it himself instead of Ronin but this is where he would end up Stuck. No Matter how much he warps around the Cosmos, he has to attack one was or the other and with the Ancient One and Odin being two of the most powerful and experienced beings allianced, thanos would still be cooked. Sure he would exchange some blows with Odin and His Army would probably be stronger than the argardian forces and sorcerers. But If they get thanos down they will all crumble. the Magic tricks of the Ancient One combined with the Odin force would just be too much but this powerdynamic of the MCU is what makes me fall in love with Marvel instead of DC. in DC you also have many and perhabs better villains then in marvel but evil super man or darkside would just demolish everyone combined If only they would show up. in Marvel everyone and especially thanos is somewhat aware of their place at the foodchain.
I always found it interesting that he first gave Loki the mind stone in the form of the scepter as a down payment to retrieve the space stone but also knew Loki had to use both to invade earth successfully, and if they won he would move closer to getting the time stone, yet Loki failed and all three were stuck on earth.
Thanks was waiting for someone else to kill John wick dog so he didn’t accidentally snap John wick dog out of existence and have John wick come for him
Marvel was smarter then. Thanos would've been a quick end story almost like how Kang was nerfed in Ant Man Quantumania. Also Thanos needed a quick path to all stones.
But I do think if Thanos attacked in 2012, the only true defense would be The Ancient One. If he arrived instead of Loki, would he come through the same portal as Loki or come down with his Chintarri? Either way, the Avenegers weren't united until after Loki stole the Teserect.
With Odin keeping tabs on Midgard from Asgard, & The Ancient One + The Masters Of The Mystic Arts there as the physical presence, it’s no wonder Thanos ain’t make no physical moves until 2018.
I think you're dead on with his plan to grab all the stones in one go. So he waited til he knew where they all were (or at least 5 of them). He had indirect contact with the events of 3 of them and would have heard about the Aether. To do that efficiently he needed the space stone. And as you said, i imagine his biggest deterrent wouldve been Odin and Asgard. So he needed the power stone to stand a chance. What I think kicked off his attacks on Nidivillar and Xander was the rumour that Odin was gone (same thing Surtur told Thor at the start of Ragnarok). A prime opportunity to prepare and attack Asgard. But Hela's shenanigans worked his way. What i dont get is how he knew about the Time Stone. Strange didnt use it in a big public battle. And i have doubts he knew about the Ancient One.
Loki had two of the Infinity Stones. He just needed to leave earth and give them to thanos and that's it. He had all the time in the world to do so. The whole opening of the portal and invasion was unnecessary at that time. Especially since Guardians of the Galaxy showed us how quick it is to get from one side of the Galaxy to another. The whole first movie kind of doesn't make sense at all now.
Thanos already had the scepter. He could’ve came to earth and attacked shield instead of Loki and grabbed the tesseract then used the mind stone to make all of shield his servants like Loki did. No Avengers are formed without Fury living or being mind controlled. Then attack the sorcerers and get the time stone and go for the other stones after
I still don't think Thanos knew where the stones were hidden. He only sought the relics (tesseract, ethir, scepter, etc.) He thought could lead him to the stones...only when he got the power stone (the 1st stone actually revealed in the mcu) from Xander is that he could sense the other stones except from the soul stone.
I disagree with why Thanos Attacked Thor and the survivors of Asgard- he came with his entire black order and his most powerful ship and army. He was going to attack Asgard in full force since he now had the power stone. He may have known about Odin being dead but it’s unlikely. He now had a stone he could use to effectively challenge Odin. It was pure luck for Thanos that Asgard’s military was wiped out by the dark elves and then Hela. He was more than ready to battle Asgard and Odin.
I don't know why people forget Thanos was dealing with other planets in the universe.theres a reason he was called the dark lord and feared, because he was out there culling down worlds.this is before the stones and rhats why he used other warlords like ronan and loki to help him abit so as to expand his plan of halving the universe.odin and ancient one theories are fanboy cope
You should do a video for Zack Snyder's Justice League. "Why didn't Darkseid invade earth 30 years earlier." If Darkseid would have invaded earth 30 years earlier, there would have been no Superman, Batman, Flash, Cyborg or Aquaman.
i mean didn’t he come to earth and lose to the Gods and all other ppl ? or was that a different planet also didn’t stephenwolf just find out about the anti life ?

To be honest i think odin, Ancient One, and Ego were main deterents. Once they all were outa the picture it was a no brainer. Odin and ancient one coulda probaly got his ass 1 on 1 let alone 2 on 1 or all the good guys vs his army
Arguably 2012 avengers could take him, because even tho they’d be weaker, so would thanos who’d be weaker then his endgame counterpart that was from 2014 , hulk and Thor and Tony with cap and widow and shields full assistance cooks thanos
Tony's suit would've been destroyed by 1 hit of that sword Cap doesn't stand a chance Only Thor and hulk could be useful but he has an entire army so it is in his favor
@@the-bz3zt this is a weaker thanos, with no stones, they probably also get loki on their side , his army would be much smaller and hulk and Thor would do heavy lifting but you also have the ancient one in New York at the same time so no way they lose regardless
@@Gerberslay ancient one is more likely to run away than assist. Loki would help thanos thinking he can get the stones later. They lack the backing of wakanda so they wouldn't have an effective army to assist. There only saving grace is Odin who wouldn't be happy with Thanos and may even get involved which completely changes things.
@@Gerberslaythanos is as old or older then Thor he wasn’t stronger in endgame he would of been around the same power level whereas Thor and iron man were both far stronger than their former selves during 2012 so Thanos would stomp them. I don’t get why black widow was mentioned it’s not like she’d be able to do anything. Vision and Wanda wouldn’t be there too. The main threats to Thanos would be the ancient one and Odin and the Asgard. During 2012 the bifrost was destroyed so it would seem to be mainly down to the avenger and the sorcerers
If he invaded Earth, he’d have gotten smoked by the Ancient One and the sorcerers. Mirror Dimension one tap, and even other powerful people like Agatha could have easily beaten him
I know that even in the movies they claim that the power stone will make the other stones more powerful but there is actually no sense to that claim tell me in what way it makes any other stone more powerful.. there's no way that I seen or can even think of
I also think Odin being alive at this point was a huge deterrent. Even though he wasn't as powerful as he used to be, legends of Odin's power and battle prowess are all over the galaxy. Maybe Odin was the Dumbledore to Thanos' Voldemort, the only one he ever feared.
Yeah in the comics Odin has fought Thanos to a draw at least once.
Asguardians get more powerful with age
That's why king Thor/old Thor is one of the strongest versions of Thor
If the Bifrost wasn't destroyed, Odin and his Army would have come to Earth to assist the Avengers. Earth is still under Asgard's protection as one of the 9 Realms.
I like this. It's well thought out. The strategy to bypass all the obstacles. Thanks.
I guarantee that the writer of this video put far more thought into this than the actual writers of the MCU.
Thanos was to busy streaming Supernatural.
Too

In infinity war he asked the red skull who he was so no that’s not possible
@@chandansimms9167 that’s what i’m sayin bro missed parts of the movie or some 😂
@@dreadheadjae06 😂😂yeah at least you remembered
For me i think Odin is still alive protecting the Galaxy
Same
I mean, we did see Valhalla at the end of Love and Thunder. Heimdall was there greeting Jane, so why not Odin?
@@runforestrunofstormrage2940 you have to die in battle to go to Valhalla
No he's dead.
In a way…. He always is
Personally, I saw Thanos's order of operations structured around the mortality of his actions.

Thanos didn't want to throw hand with Odin , he knew that Odin would have busted him up .
The ancient one was alive when Odin fought the frost giants

I mean Asgard is “protector of 9 realms”, they can just teleport armies of 9 realms into Thanos’ butt
Strange had far surpassed the Ancient One.
Its stated he fought Dormamou for a thousands years
He states at 5:16 that we don’t really know how long strange stayed meaning probably about that time but the ancient one had been along way longer.
Thanos waited because he watched BvS dawn of justice.😂😂😂😂
Don't slapper me bro is what I instantly thought
If He Had attacked in 2012 He would have buried the Avengers and Loki but He would ve gotten buried equally by Odin or the ancient one.
Sure He would ve gotten the space and Mind stone and would ve been the mightiest being in the universe in theory but, as we have seen with the fight on titan, a good plan and a alliance of mighty Heroes which the sorcerers and the asgardians are, he still can get defeated.

If the ancient one could not see past her death, how did she know or trust that Strange was the best of them
Good point.
Marvel was smarter then. Thanos would've been a quick end story almost like how Kang was nerfed in Ant Man Quantumania. Also Thanos needed a quick path to all stones.
The script wasn't baked yet
Is this a reupload? I swear I've seen this video before
The reason why thanos didn’t go after the infinity stones was because he was to his chair
But I do think if Thanos attacked in 2012, the only true defense would be The Ancient One. If he arrived instead of Loki, would he come through the same portal as Loki or come down with his Chintarri? Either way, the Avenegers weren't united until after Loki stole the Teserect.

3:26 I’m pretty sure it would take longer if he didn’t do that, I know this because avengers infinity war takes place 6 years later
Thanos’ style was to work through intermediaries more than on his own.
The sorcerers have a way of using the dark dimension, even though they're taught not to, so The Ancient One may have used it against Thanos. 🤔
A good “What if ?” episode would be “What if Tony was prepared for Thanos?”
In the comics, Dr. Strange fought dormamu for centuries. Just farming XP basically
Loki had two of the Infinity Stones. He just needed to leave earth and give them to thanos and that's it. He had all the time in the world to do so.

Forgot about earth being under captain marvels protection. Its why he went there last and had all the others to be able to fight her
I still wish we would’ve got thanos invading xandar and getting the power stone that would’ve been a great battle
He didn't come in 2012 because the plot demanded it bro

You forgot about celestials like ego
ego would mop thanos

Odin would have beat thanos
Because that would have spoiled the storyline and build up, which also wasn’t fully planned out at the time.
Ahhh first, typo typo typo
When we get a nova series we got see how thanos got the power stone
Don't need to see that.
