Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Things Marvel Want You To Forget First

12. Why Odin Had A Fake Gauntlet

When It Mattered

The Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's vault on Asgard was something of a pain in Kevin Feige's backside after it was used as an Easter Egg before the Infinity War saga kicked off. It seemed to suggest that there was a Gauntlet on Asgard that had all of the Infinity Stones already in it, which was being protected for the good of the universe, or something.

And while it was a loose end for a while, it was tied up in Thor: Ragnarok when Hela casually confirmed it was a fake - you know, despite Feige hinting there were in fact two Gauntlets in the MCU at one point.

But that doesn't hide the fact that there was still a FAKE Gauntlet in the vault, being treated like a real artifact.

But Now...

If you explore this too much - which Marvel definitely don't want you to because of what Hela confirmed in Ragnarok - all you end up wondering is why Odin was idiotic enough to be taken in by a fake. And there's absolutely no way Infinity War will in any way address that fact when it comes along, so we're just going to have to accept that Odin was a moron as well as the most powerful being in the Nine Realms for a while.

Plainly, they just don't want you to ask.
