Captain America: Red Skull grabs an Infinity Stone with his bare hands, gets his face melted off like in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Guardians of the Galaxy: “Yeah, Infinity Stones are not to be fucked around with. If you’re anything less than immortal, touching it for more than a second will make you explode. MAYBE if you got a couple of people to share the load, you could hold it for a minute or two, but even then if you push it too far your head will pop off like a soda bottle.”
Thor 2: Jane Foster absorbs an Infinity Stone into her bloodstream, sees the whole of the universe, develops defensive superpowers, goes for days where her only negative side effects are a fever and occasional fainting.
Jane Foster is raw as hell.
#I still don’t know the answers to any of my questions about infinity stones/aether #but there’s this big happy shiny part of my brain shouting about how this shit is just magic #and the Thor movies are all about worth #and just #JANE IS WORTHY #bring me 10 million fics about Jane never giving the Aether up and everyone’s like ‘well you’ll probably die in the morning’ #only after she drops into a coma and everyone thinks she’s a goner #she wakes up and her eyes are different and if you look into them too long you literally find Mimir’s Well #and she just becomes this arcane terrifying force with all the knowledge of the universe swirling around inside her mortal but no longer human head #but also she still has mustard on her shirt collar #(her shirt that she bought for two dollars from a bin six years ago) #and she has no idea how to change her own ringtone #(but she could literally kill you with her brain) #….please? wildehack
