re: Why would Ebony Maw submit to Thanos

While this is a valid point, employing Loki is not the way to stay under Odin's radar. Thor immediately knows Loki has additional help.

Which weren’t directly Thanos either. But this “Other.” In any case the point isn’t to be unknown. Killing off entire world’s populations isn’t about being low profile.

But to lay waste to worlds in an express assault to gather even more power is another thing.

I’d imagine the act of doing exactly that with the assault on Xandar happened very shortly after Odin’s death.

To paraphrase Nebula, he finally has had his pieces in play and was waiting for the opportune momment.
