When Thanos snapped his fingers and decimated half the universe, a lot of time was spent wondering how this all could’ve been avoided. Would something like Thor aiming for the head instead of the heart, or Peter Quill keeping his emotions in check have really stopped Thanos from snapping his fingers? Or was Thanos as inevitable as he kept saying he was? Actually, the answer could be more complicated than that.

If you chart the entire history of the MCU and look at all the important events that led to Thanos successfully enacting his plan, you could trace everything back to one man: Odin! That’s right. An ongoing theory is that Odin’s actions with how he treated Loki in the first Thor movie, as well as his general handling of infinity stones and the infinity gauntlet, directly and indirectly led to Thanos’s victory. So how does Odin’s treatment of Loki eventually lead to Captain America: Civil War? And how does that event make Thanos win at the end of Avengers: Infinity War? Keep watching to find out!

Today’s video is all about Odin and how his actions caused a lot of trouble in the MCU. We’ll be diving into just what about Odin’s methods were wrong so you can toss away those ‘World’s Greatest Dad’ mugs right now! So check out the video and be sure to leave a comment after you're done telling us if you agree Odin helped Thanos win. Let’s get into it!

  • If Odin was good at parenting he would have the most powerful trio in the universe, Hela, Thor and Loki
  • Odin was powerful af, Hela was a lot stronger than people assume, same for Surtur, basically everyone in the Asgardian realm is just strong
  • @thecentraq2713
    Thanos: I’m inevitable Stan lee: don’t make me come down you punk!
  • @haytertm
    It was loki, impersonating Odin, exiling Heimdal, who could have seen Thanos making a gauntlet.

  • @nidhibharti8203
    Thanos chose perfect time when ancient one, odin and ego died. They were certainly more powerful.
  • @kakuite
    duh. I choose the theory that because of Odin, Thanos was sitting in his chair for 6 years
  • @hippomancy
    i tend to think that Thanos decided to wait for Odin's death to act, for his armies never attacked Asgard, where Odin had a possible gauntlet, the tesseract, and the aether. easy pickings for Thanos, except he was careful not to provoke Odin and the Asgardians. so perhaps Odin triggered events that led to events that led to events shaping the Infinity War, but his presence kept the big Meany on his own patch...

    CBR, masters of taking 10 minutes to explain a 10 second theory.
  • Odin was responsible for Thanos’ rise to power. Thanos: Odin is with us!
  • @taranmurali613
    At the end of Thor, when Loki was dropped into the collapsing bifrost. Is that where he had found Thanos? If that is the case then it further proves that Odin is to blame. Loki only dropped into the collapsing bifrost because Odin accepted that Thor was better than him.

    A wise King never seeks a blockbuster, but should always be ready for one!!!
  • it was odin's father's fault...if odin were not born this would have never happened
  • @klarityjoe7413
    Odin made the first gautlet, he kept a replica in his vault. That's where Thanos got the idea in the first place. His daughter called it out when she went for the eternal flame in Ragnarok.
  • @aidengetto989
    "You're in the middle of a bad guy base" killed me bro
  • @Fabbe.labbe09
    When Thor did go to make stormbraker, the dwarf said "Oden did push me to do something that could hold all the infinity stones" in infinity war
