Thor changed into the handiest MCU hero who actively searched for the Infinity Stones, however the God of Thunder won't were the exceptional Avengers for the job.
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) wasn't the exceptional Marvel Cinematic Universe hero to search for the Infinity Stones. The Infinity Saga's MacGuffins have been the point of interest of Thanos' (Josh Brolin) quest to stability the universe with the snap of his fingers. While this handiest have become apparent in later Phases, the basic crystals have been already mounted withinside the universe as early as 2011 via Captain America: The First Avenger.
Over the years, Marvel Studios slowly found out wherein the Infinity Stones were all this time, beginning with the Tesseract/Space Stone, which changed into known as the Cosmic Cube in The First Avenger. Then, the Scepter/Mind Stone popped up in The Avengers, the Aether/Reality Stone in Thor: The Dark World, and the Orb/Power Stone in Guardians of the Galaxy. At this point, it changed into clean what the franchise is constructing towards — some thing that Avengers: Age of Ultron formally showed via Thor's bizarre vision.
Age of Ultron commonly receives flak for its convoluted narrative, however searching again at it after Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios began out to actively set-up the end result of the Infinity Saga withinside the 2015 film. That consists of Thor taking place his journey to searching for the Infinity Stones. As he defined to Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) earlier than he left: "the Mind Stone is the fourth of the Infinity Stones to reveal up withinside the previous few years. It's now no longer a coincidence. Someone has been gambling an tricky sport and has made pawns of us." Thor changed into assured he should get to the lowest of this mystery, however in Thor: Ragnarok, his -year-hunt hadn't bring about some thing significant. While Thor appeared like he knew a way to discover elemental crystals, his failure to discover as a minimum a unmarried Infinity Stone means that he changed into now no longer the exceptional hero for the job.
Thor knew what the Infinity Stones have been primarily based totally on his verbal exchange with the Collector (Benicio del Toro) on the quit of The Dark World; perhaps, he discovered approximately it from Odin (Anthony Hopkins) who changed into conscious of the stone's existence, as insinuated through the faux Infinity Gauntlet in his vault. Given this, the God of Thunder must've had an concept approximately how the effective gemstones paintings and would've been capable of decipher them. Unfortunately, that proved now no longer to be the case. There have been Infinity Stones concerned withinside the Battle of New York, and but he never stated some thing approximately it withinside the film. Other heroes had an less difficult time obtaining the gemstones: Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) were given the Power Stone in Guardians of the Galaxy, or even street-stage heroes like Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) have been capable of stable the Soul Stone in Vormir — granted she needed to sacrifice her life, however it changed into a reasonably smooth manner as compared to Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Thor acquiring the Aether. Finally, the maximum blatant proof changed into Thor's failure to apprehend the Eye of Agamotto/Time Stone changed into striking on Doctor Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) neck at some point of their stumble upon in Ragnarok.
Considering Thor's self belief that he should discover extra approximately the Infinity Stones on the quit of Age of Ultron, it is curious how matters should've panned out otherwise withinside the Marvel Cinematic Universe if his solo venture changed into extra fruitful. Perhaps if he changed into capable of get his fingers on as a minimum one Infinity Stone and as a minimum were given an concept of what Thanos changed into looking to accomplish, he and the relaxation of the Avengers should've higher organized for the Mad Titan. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
