Avengers: Infinity War - So, There Are TWO Infinity Gauntlets?!

Just when you thought the MCU couldn't be under any greater threat than Thanos putting on his Infinity Gauntlet and coming to snap his fingers and wipe everyone out of existence, it turns out that the one he proudly shows off at the end of Age Of Ultron isn't even the only one. Ignoring once more the fact that his line - "Fine... I'll do it myself" - made absolutely zero sense in the context of the movie (Ultron wasn't working for him after all), the implication suggests that there's something fishy going on in the MCU. When asked about how Thanos was able to break the Gauntlet out of Asgard, where it had appeared in the background of Thor, or if it was a different glove entirely, Kevin Feige admitted that it wasn't:

"Is everybody getting a poster, or is it the person with the nerdiest question? Because it was -- sir, it's a great question. It's a good question. I may as well answer because you asked it, which I like. It's not the same one. Not the same one."

Now, that in itself isn't that much of a revelation. The gauntlet in Thor was clearly no more than an Easter Egg, perhaps planned before the make-up of Phase 3 was even considered (come on, they didn't even know who would have the rights to which properties by now), and Feige could have simply said as much. But he chose consciously not to. The man with Marvel's complex plan closest to his heart chose to accept the second gauntlet as canonical, even if it was through laughter. Interestingly, feeding into the twin gauntlet theory is the fact that Thanos has the left glove at the end of Ultron, and the one in Thor is the right hand one. So there may be some history there (though you'd think Thor might have been at least partly aware of the history of the Infinity Stones if his ancestors had vanquished someone else attempting to wield them)... It poses a number of other questions as well: like how the other gauntlet has gems in it. And why it's not more heavily guarded. And finally, why Marvel didn't just add a post-credits sequence to Thor: The Dark World that sae Thanos break into Asgard and retrieve the gauntlet to tie the entire arc together. Perhaps that would have been too clever. Perhaps it's nit-picking to examine where the Gauntlets came from, but it's this sort of thing that comic book fans are bound to not gloss over. After all, there's no clue yet as to where Thanos got the OTHER glove from.
