Pardon me while I roll my eyes at yet another mighty Marvel mash-up. I mean, with all the Infinity Stones, you're basically all-powerful to begin with. So slapping them onto Mjolnir is basically just gilding the lily. It doesn't make sense. It's like, if Thanos had the Infinity Gauntlet, would he be any more all-powerful if he strapped an old-school cosmic cube to his groin, and rode Silver Surfer's surfboard into battle?
And really, I just don't ever care to see either Thanos or the Infinity Stones again. That story well ran dry years ago. How many times can he achieve PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER and then be defeated/killed before it becomes downright redundant?
As long as Jim Starlin lives. Because that's really the only Thanos story Jim Starlin ever tells.
"Thanos has become all-powerful and no-one can stop him because he's too cool and awesome and - oh wait he dropped the Cube, but he didn't because he totally planned for that. (Did we mention Thanos is cool and awesome? We did? Good, good.) And now the reset button, because Thanos's actions having consequences would mean him having to suffer for them, and that cannot happen."
Throw in some Adam Warlock and some Ross/Rachel shenanigans with Thanos and Death and you're gold.
Really, the smartest thing that could've been done with the gems would've been for Starlin to utterly destroy them completely right after Gauntlet so no-one could ever use them again. (I.E., exactly what Movie Thanos went and did.) It wouldn't have stopped someone eventually bringing them back, but it's nice to think it might've slowed them down for a few seconds.
-yet another mighty Marvel mash-up- It does seem like every future Marvel visits is now occupied by mashed-up versions of characters. Certainly adds a new meaning to the phrase "grim darkness". Wasn't it Cates who gave us Cosmic Ghost Rider Punisher to begin with? Mashed-up future versions of characters seems to be A Thing with him.
(... though, ah, admittedly, that glimpse of a mashed-up Kamala Khan and Major Victory seems like a mildly interesting idea.)
Yeah, putting the Infinity Stones on Mjolnir would basically be so pointless you might as well just put them in a plastic bag, because the power gap between the Stones and pretty much ANYHTING else is so vast as to make such distinctions meaningless
