monition : This article stop SPOILERS forAvengers : Infinity War
Thanos has eradicate the Marvel movie universe inAvengers : Infinity War … and it ’s all Jane Foster ’s fault . Technically , Thanos did far worse than just decimate the roster of MCU sub , contract all other life throughout the fictional universe of discourse by one-half , let in most of the new Avengers . And whether she intended it or not , Jane Foster may be the one to pick .
If " rap " is too harsh a password for the fan of Jane Foster out there ( perhapswayout there ) , then it ’s at least Natalie Portman ’s MCU grapheme who allow Thanos to even hope he could achieve his plan . Not certain of our logic ? Well , the fact that Thanos requires all six of the Infinity Stones to launch his final attack is the actual key .
And that dim-witted deputation would have been much impossible … had it not been for Jane Foster ’s role inThor : The Dark World .
The Reality Stone: A Refresher
It ’s been a while since movie fans were first introduced to the Aether - so long , in fact , that many may not have genuinely grasped its nature as an Infinity Stone in disguise . Back in Thor : The Dark World , it was only account as a superweapon fueled by the same darkness from which the Dark Elves were spawned ( before the creation as we know it break loose into existence , land sparkle with it ) . That was all explained in the film ’s opening prologue , with Odin tell his father , Bor ’s commission to ruin the Dark Elves .
He proved successful , pilfer the Aether out from under Malekith at the last second gear , before the Convergence of all Nine Realms would have allow him turn all subject to dark matter across creative activity . Malekith take flight , perhaps assuming he would try again in the next Convergence ( 5,000 eld later ) . mean the Aether was in the self-command of Bor … and too dangerous to keep in the open .
The resolution was to retrieve a concealment spot for the Chamber that take the Aether , where it could never be find . And for five millennium , it sit exactly as intend : alone , unmoved , and forgotten by the population .
Jane Finds The Aether, And Brings It Into The Spotlight
… and then Jane number along , and hit directly onto it ( seriously ) . Fans may number up with their own explanation or theories to make this section of The Dark World ’s plot make sense , but even fan will likely gibe it ’s not the most logical sequence of event . The Convergence have the Nine Realms to overlap , interlace , and teleport citizenry and things from one to another . Fine . That Jane would find one such wormhole while investigate … sciencereadings of some kind ? Less believable , but still plausible .
That Jane would , without account , happen to trip up onto the one wormhole that would take her - of all possible places throughout the Nine Realms - to the mystic , obscure , set-apart location of the Aether ? Quite a leap , even in a movie cosmos star a talking raccoon . That she would compact her face into the game gadget and be infected with it ? Well , let ’s just say there ’s a intellect whyRagnarokwas so rejuvenating for the franchise .
The obvious questions hem in this plot of ground have never been adequately answered , leave behind them as some ofthe worstThormovie secret plan holesto date , where contrived story twists and deus ex machina are come to .
The real tragedy is that the thinker at Marvel could n’t arrive up with a reason for Jane Foster to be other than being fuse with the Aether and , as a consequence , becoming the MacGuffin for most ofThe Dark World , dragged along by Thor and Loki . But it remains her bequest , afterJane was written out ofThor : Ragnarok .
In the end , her destiny was to serve Thor handle about human beings , before wreak the Aether out into the light … dooming the universe to Thanos in the cognitive process .

Without Jane, The Reality Stone Would’ve Never Been Found
Wherever Bor had conceal the Aether turned out to be an idealistic hiding position , remaining truly lost since long before Thor , Loki , or Heimdall were bear . Until Jane get it . Jane Foster may have washed her hand of her encounter with the Aether - by which we meanhaving an Infinity Stone select her as a host- and who could blame her ? But the fact remain , if she had n’t gone look for for " recital " that seem more meaningless than evernow , the Reality Stone may have last out hidden . Almost sure as shooting would have , since even now we ca n’t say where it was in the creation .
The Reality Stone was ultimately return to The Collector to protect , which Thor believe a stroke of genius , and Star - Lord finds the stupidest possible decision . By the clock time the Guardians arrive on Knowhere , Thanos has already lay claim it from The Collector , so Peter Quill seems to have the potent case .
And as powerful as the Reality Stone is on its own , had it remain hidden , Thanos never could have wiped out half the universe .
That ’s due to the fact that the Infinity Stones are far more powerful when joined together . They demonstrate a mountain chain of world power on their own , of more or less potency or table service to the plot . Without the Reality Stone , Thanos could n’t have gotten the drop on Gamora and the Guardians … could n’t have removed Drax and Mantis from the fight … could n’t have turn Star - Lord ’s gunfire into bubbles .
As some would fence , it ’s still possible that Thanos would have turned to other Stones to achieve the same goal ( part of the intellect why the game - break powers of the Stones can make storytelling difficult ) . But in the terminal , it takes all six to achieve Thanos ’s mass culling across the universe . Without the power over realness , it could n’t have been achieved .
regrettably , this placement of blame is impossible to state with absolute certainty , since it ’s not really clearhowThanos deduced the Stones ' fix . Through spying and surveillance , as he did in the comics ? Or by simply ' track ' them ( the less interesting option ) ? If Jane had n’t tripped over the Reality Stone , there would be nobody to even question for the locating .
No Jane , no Reality Stone . No Reality Stone , no completed Gauntlet . No Gauntlet … no snap . Natalie Portman may be open to an MCU return , but honestly , she ’s done enough already .
