So about the staff (Movie Spoilers!)

Just got back from seeing avengers (Third time) and it finally doned on me, Is that blue object in the staff the mind gem? Because when you think about it Loki is essentially being manipulated by Thanos, its stated that he's the one who gave loki the staff, and it allows loki to turn people into obedient puppets, plus they've already shown the gauntlet in thor. and its the exact same color as the mind gem in the comics I mean aside from shooting energy bolts it essentially does what the mind gems known for

I thought the "Tesseract" was a different object altogether......Loki had the staff when he was with the Chitauri while the cube was on earth....right??

Technically the Tesseract was what it was, but they have said it was the cosmic cube we have seen in Captain America: the First Avenger and Thor.

No.....
 
I know the Tesseract is the cosmic cube...I am saying the gem in Lokis staff is a different object altogether, he had it with him while the cube was on earth...it was apparently given to him by Thanos

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. But the stuff in Loki's staff is the cosmic cube (or Tesseract).

Tesseract = Cosmic Cube

Not the same thing as the gem on Loki's staff which the OP is talking about.

That's a nice catch. Sounds like it could definitely be a possibility.

I mean..Lokis sceptor, which had the gem on it, was given to him by Thanos, allegedly....he brought it with him to earth...the cube on the other hand, was already on earth...how exactly were they the same object

@TheCannon: There is only one known Cosmic Cube in the movies. And as a Cube, it can't be the gem which is an oval shape on Loki's Staff given to him by Thanos. The OP is thinking the Gem on the Staff is the Mind Gem of the Infinity Gauntlet given that it allowed Loki to control Selvig and Hawkeye.

Mind Gem. Could be the same one on the staff?
#14 Edited by Gambit1024 (9889 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

The thing on Loki's staff wasn't the Cosmic Cube.

The Cosmic Cube was inside the machine that was powering the portal towards the end, and Loki still had the fully-functioned staff at the same time.

I like the Infinity Gem theory though. How big was it, though? Aren't the gems relatively tiny?

I don't know. I think people put to much logic into these things. While watching the Incredible Hulk, I asked myself how Bruce didn't die of radiation poisoning.

Can't be. All gems were in the infinity gauntlet in Thor.

@Gambit1024: I dunno, that gauntlet looks pretty big.

I can understand your logic there but still, .......that seems like a pretty large detail to overlook, it was pretty important to the plot and Whedon is a comic book fan so....

@The_Tree: It looks like the centerpiece. Is that the gem that the OP is talking about?

The Infinity Gauntlet

@TheCannon: You are correct. It's there on the knuckle of the pinkey finger.

The Display Gauntlet looks like it needs light. The pic I posted have the gems lit up.

@Gambit1024: I know that there are six gems, and the mind gem is blue. But from these pictures, it looks like the center is blue, and the pinky knuckle gem is blue as well. And of the six, only one is blue, unless the movieverse is different. So I can't tell.

No. The cosmic cube was already on Earth and was preoccupied at times while Loki used his staff, which contains something that is not cube shaped whatsoever.@TheCannon said:

That isn't logic, it's following the plot of the movie.

Anyway, it could be. Others think it's a variation of the cosmic control rod that Annihilus used and that Johnny Storm now possesses.

@The_Tree: Gotcha.

Come to think of it, what happened to the staff? Did SHIELD take it?

#24 Posted by DH69 (4207 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

hmm the colors of the gems in the gauntlet prop look fairly off but the scepters gem is pretty close to the centers gems size

What's off is the sizes of the gems in the movie gauntlet.

@DH69: that actually makes sense and gives thanos a reason to be in the sequel , besides the annihilation of earth , heading back to retrieve the gem and with my theory that the next set of sequels(cap 2 , iron man 3, thor 2, etc) ending credits showing off thanos as he approaches earth makes total sense to me .

#27 Posted by SadiaVicious (110 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

Mind gem, no doubt.

#28 Posted by Xanni15 (6265 posts) - 8 months, 13 days ago - Show Bio

How is it the mind gem when the IG is on Asgard? More than likely the staff was made a while ago before the Tesseract was lost.
