Infinity Wars question, re: stone locating (spoilers)
Posted on 5/7/18 at 6:50 pm

I want to know, how was Thanos and his "childern" able to locate the stones so easily?
It looks like he was looking for them for a long time, then had no trouble showing up in Scotland, KnowWhere, New York, and wherever. Yet if it was some power that told him where the stones where at all times, how could they not find the soul stone?

Disney told him where they were

It was hidden. Pretty sure they explained a brief excuse in the movie

Scanners.

I figured with all of that advanced alien technology that he has acquired from conquering multiple planets, they could have came up on some technology that can locate the stones. Thats my theory at least.

He's been looking for them for a very long time.
Didn't want to move on them until he had the location of all of them and he had the gauntlet made.

In the comics he had been looking for a while. The comic volume the movies are based on actually are the culmination of his searching. I suppose it is hinted at in the other movies that Thanos knows where all but the soul stone are.

The post-credits scene in Age of Ultron pretty much implied he knew where all but the Soul Stone were. Doesn’t really answer the question but it’s clear he knew where they were and was ready to go after them.

Low Tech humans knew how to locate the Tesseract over time - Zola, Banner, etc. - so I'd just accept that Thanos and his tech are way better. No rule breaking necessary.

That post credit scene of "fine, I'll do it myself" never really made any sense.
It basically implied that he was expecting to gain an infinity stone from the course of Ultron wreaking havoc, but he had absolutely nothing to do with Ultron's creation at all other than that the stone used to create Vision came from the staff he gave Loki in the first Avengers...
...and speaking of which, if he had the mind stone in the staff, why the frick would he give that away?

I took it as an event independent of the film, signifying the start of the next phase.
With that, he is ceasing to move pieces in the background and getting more personally involved.
If you are going to attack for plot holes, why not attack the fact he already has a gauntlet?

Unless him slaughtering the dwarves went unnoticed through all of phase 2/3, it doesn’t jive with IW

I can see that being plausible considering, from Asgard's point of view, they had no need for the dwarf planet until Thor lost his hammer.

Pretty much all he had to do was find one stone, and he could connect the dots to most of them.
He knew about one stone through the events of GOTG (Xandar). Pretty sure he knew about the tesseract through the events of The Avengers (probably knew that the Asgardians were guarding it). Find the Asgardians and one of them probably could be tortured to say they gave a stone to the Collector. Between Banner/Hulk, Loki, Thor, and Heimdall, he would know two are on earth (Dr. Strange and Vision). Hell, at this time, Thanos had 2 stones. Just follow where Heimdall sent Hulk and he would find himself at Strange's doorstep. He told Gamora to find the Soul Stone, so he just had to lay a trap to capture her.
Boom. All six, and you only had to talk to a few people.

At the starting Thanos get tesseract from the Loki and destroy Asgard so Thor cannot move one planet to another easily. after getting Stormbreaker how Thor, Rocket, and Groot joined in the Wakanda's battlefield in a short period of time?

English, son, do you speak it?
And the answer to your nonsense question, which was explained by the giant Dwarf played by a midget is Thor's new weapon controls the bifrost.

Fury was experimenting with the Tesseract so they knew it was on earth. That’s why he gave Loki the staff to conquer earth and bring back both stones. But that didn’t work out, so he knew the soul stone stone was on earth. The Tesseract was used to rebuild the bifrost so he knew it was on Asgard.
I always assumed the collector was buying for someone who was an intermediary for Thanos. So he knew about the reality stone and wanted him to buy the stone from Quill. But he knew Xander had it because of the events in GOTG which was big news.
As for the time stone, I assumed he knew it was the Sourcerer Supremes duty to protect it. Thanos has been around a while and would know about Dormamu and those types of things.
Also, it’s a movie about space hopping, flying supermen and women, so a little suspension of reality is necessary.

It could have had to do more with Guardians of the Galaxy than Age of Ultron, even though it was after that film.

After seeing how powerful Ebony Maw is, my question is why hire Loki in the first place? Loki is powerful enough to handle the Infinity Stones and could have just betrayed Thanos and stole the stones for himself. It just seems like Thanos was setting himself up for failure instead of sending Ebony Maw. The only advantage Loki brings is he can blend in, while Maw can't.
