New THOR: RAGNAROK Fan Theory Suggests Odin Has The Final Infinity Stone
There's a new interesting fan theory that has surfaced in regards to Thor: Ragnarok, and where the final Infinity Stone resides in the MCU. The final stone is the Soul Stone and Screen Rant believes that Odin may be the keeper of the stone.
They suggest that Hela comes to Earth in search of Odin because she believes that he has the Soul Stone. By killing Odin and getting her hands on the stone, she would have the power to control all the souls of the Nine Realms.
The Soul Stone gives the holder control over all life in the universe, including the ability to control, command, destroy, or restore all souls, living or dead. If Hela got a hold of it, it would make Hela the Goddess of Death.
It would explain why Thor battles her on Earth. We see part of that battle in the trailer where she destroys Mjolnir and sends him flying across the cosmos where he eventually ends up on the planet of Sakaar where he battles Hulk in the Gladiator arena. The site explains:
If the Stone fell to Odin when his father passed, it explains the mysterious ‘Odinforce’ allowing Odin effectively magical powers over Asgardian technology, the ability to sense happenings across the Nine Realms, and even inspect the Aether – another Infinity Stone – pumping through Jane Foster’s veins. But how would a peaceful king satisfy the Soul Stone’s hunger? By sacrificing his own godlike soul to feed it, until he is forced to slip into the ‘Odinsleep’ to restore his fading power.
There are a lot of fans that believe Heimdall is the keeper of the stone, but the theory also explains that Odin may have taught Heimdall how to harness the power of the Soul Stone. It's explained that in Odin’s hands, "it means granting Heimdall the eyesight needed to monitor 'nine realms and ten trillion souls.' The line offered in The Dark World fueled speculation that Heimdall was being literal, and that the yellow-orange/amber color of his eyes was proof he was using the power of the Soul Stone. That might have been true, with his powers passed to him by the Stone’s true master, Odin."
As for where Odin in hiding the stone, wouldn't it be cool if he was hiding it the eye socket of his eye under his eye patch?
This is a pretty fascinating theory that I've never heard before. Do you think that this could be the case? If not, what is your Soul Stone theory?
