Why does anybody keep a fake infinity gauntlet? He had to rep his nerd credentials.

I always thought he figured the real thing was deemed too dangerous, so the decoy was there to trick any would be robbers.

It came in a Loot Crate with a bunch of other stuff, and he just sorta kept it

Better than the Infinity Gauntlet oven mitt.
PastorBlinky2025-11-19 23:50
Which could NOT be used as an oven mitt

As if half of this sub doesn't own a fake infinite gauntlet

Basically Marvel realized they put themselves in a corner by having an fake Infinity Gauntlet with the stones in it in the trophy room after they realized they wanted to tell that story.

Except they already had the story in motion prior to this, so that wouldnt check out.
I think it was a multi facetted choice. It was a nod to the fans and a underhanded foreshadowing of the storyline to come. I also think it's served the purpose of kind of unconsciously hyping hela power level, meaning she is so strong that half of things in his vault didnt interest her, and she was able to tell right away it was a fake. Not to mention she had only a passing interest in the tesseract itself

Incorrect. The scene in ragnarok is a gag but also explanation for why the completed infinity gauntlet is seen in the first Thor movie from before thanos and the infinity gauntlet were the story they were going to tell. They used this as a way to hand wave away a bit that no longer made sense.

When they did the first Thor they didn't had the whole Thanos storyline all mapped out, nor that they would be doing the Infinity Stones.

This is the real answer. It was an easter egg in the first thor movie, and they probably decided to explain it away by saying it was fake in ragnarok.

Same reason I do and I'm not the Allfather.

I think the gauntlet was in a background shot of one of the first Thor movies, long before they had any "endgame" in mind. It was just a throw away Easter egg.
Once they had a real plan for the stones, this was a funny way to throw out the gauntlet we had seen on screen as junk.

It’s called flexing 🤷🏻♂️😂

Could have been Loki actually.

Half of the plot for Odin in this movie was Hela revealing that he was full of shit and just pretending to be this benevolent-but-all-powerful figure. She said that half the stuff in there was fake and then revealed that the whole treasure room was LITERALLY built on an army of hellish soldiers and creatures which foreshadowed the revelation that he once celebrated brutality abd conquest before he cast all that aside for this facade
