The Infinity Gems in Marvel's Cinematic Universe

The Infinity Gems are six stones that grant their holders amazing powers. In the comics, the mad titan Thanos has taken all the gems for himself several times in his Infinity Gauntlet to grant himself power that can only be compared to that of a god's. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we have seen several of these gems, and although their colors have been changed, here are all the gems we've seen so far:

Space Gem: Tesseract

This gem has shown that it has the ability to bend space in the Avengers movie by teleporting the entire Chitari army to Earth under the command of Loki. This gem could also have teleported Red Skull away, since his body was never found.

Reality gem: Aether

This gem was the red goo that took on Jane Foster as a host in Thor: The Dark World. It was used by Malekith, king of the dark elves, to also most bring all of the nine realms together.

Power Gem: ?

This gem wasn't addressed by name throughout the entire Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but was used by Ronan the Accuser to almost destroy an entire planet.

Mind Gem: ?

This gem is assumed by fans to be the glowing blue bit in Loki's scepter. The scepter in question was also seen the Avengers 2 trailer, meaning it could be the thing that gives Ultron his sentience.

Soul Gem: ?
This gem is assumed to be the yellow stone seen on the Vision at the end of the Avengers 2 trailer, meaning it could be what gives the Vision both his sentience and his humanity.

Time gem: ?

Avengers Age of Ultron Trailer #3

Earlier today, Marvel released the third trailer for the upcoming Avengers sequel; Avengers Age of Ultron. This trailer showed us more of the movies villains, including hints to what Ultron's goal is and how Scarlet Witch and Quick Silver come into play. In my opinion, the biggest moment in the trailer is at the very end when we get a glimpse at the Vision. See the trailer for yourself here.

Avengers 2: Merchandise Before the Movie!

Even though the movie hasn't come out yet, we've already had our first look at some sweet... toys? First, from the people at POP, we have the whole Avengers line-up, Ultron, and a extra large, 6" Hulkbuster! No word on when this figure will be available, but I will undoubtably be in line to get one.

Next up is LEGO, who has given us our first glimpse at some of the scenes in the movie, as well as the many models of Ultron, a look at the new Vision, several Iron man suits, and a Hulkbuster made of both traditional and Bionicle parts. This seems like a much better choice than making the giant suit a BigFig.

Finally, Hasbro has announced a whole Avengers Masion playset, complete with several Iron Man armors, Hulk, and other stuff. Just look at the picture, that's all I did!

Marvel Phase 3

Everyone's probably heard about the Marvel event where Marvel announced all of its phase three movies, but I'm going to do a recap with some of my thoughts:

Captain America: Civil War (2016): Based on the amazing graphic novel, this story will circle around the government wanting superheroes to enlist and register their secret identities. The movie will be slightly different because everyone knows all the heroes' identities. Expect an Ironman vs. Cap fight that should rival the Shakespeare in the Park scene from the Avengers!

Doctor Strange (2016): This one shouldn't be an origin movie, but will open up the magic side of the Marvel Universe, much like Guardians of the Galaxy opened up the cosmic side of it. Just don't use his arch enemy, Dormamu, in his first film and I won't complain. Also, Cumberbatch in a Marvel movie can only be a good thing.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017): More Groot and Rocket, obviously. Otherwise, keep doing what your doing!

Thor: Ragnarok (2017): This movie will either have our favorite thunder god fighting the giant serpent Ragnarok, or follow the comic and have the gods be destroyed and reborn with no memory. Oh, and more Loki, can't have a Thor movie without Loki.

Black Panther (2017): The king of Uganda will feature in Captain America Civil War, and will likely face an enemy we'll be seeing in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ten points to who ever can find Ulysses Klaw in the trailer!

Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 (2018) Part 2 (2019): I just hope it doesn't turn out that I waited six years for Thanos for nothing! That would suck. Also, that second part probably means they can't defeat him alone and call the Guardians for the second film.

Captain Marvel (2018): The first female-led Marvel movie, Captain Marvel will follow Carol Danvers' adventures on Earth. Wait, Earth?! No, no, no, Captan Marvel is a space hero that often teams up with the Guardians, why is she on Earth? Also, I had this little conspiracy theory that Sky from Marvel's Agents of Shield was going to become Captain Marvel since the show has been featuring lots of alien (Kree!) related stuff. You'll see. Probably...

Inhumans (2018): The final movie in Marvel's Phase 3 is the Inhumans, Marvels response to the X-Men. The Inhumans are a race that has been hiding from humanity, and are exposed to a gas that gives them powers on their 18th birthday, or something like that.

Well, that's it! I don't know where Ant-Man fits in, although its probably coming 2016 or 2015 since they showed some few-second scenes in Marvel specials. Thanks for reading!

The Avengers: Age of Ultron

So, I know that everyone thought that Thanos would be the villain in the second Avengers movie, but apparently it's Ultron. This android was created by Hank Pym (aka Ant Man) and Tony Stark (aka Iron Man). The android was meant to help the Avengers, or store information, or fight the bad guys, or something, but it turned evil for some reason and turned on the Avengers. They told everyone about the Avengers sequel at Comic Con.

Marvel's Avengers Assemble Review

Marvel Universe has recently released new TV show called Marvel's Avengers Assemble. The show has a great story line, but isn't animated very well. On the other hand, they added the Falcon!
