How did they turn aether into the reality stone?

I think reality stone due to it's nature can do many things and take many different forms. I think Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves turned reality stone into aether, a liquid form and a weapon he wanted.

To turn aether back into reality stone I think you first need to be able to control it to manipulate it's reality. Someone like Thanos absolutely can and turned it back into a red stone to fit it onto his gauntlet.

We knew Thor or Asgardians could not do it, Thor couldn't even touch power stone. If Asgardians were able to, I image they would have turned aether into another form with a different purpose.

So I image it was Hulk who turned aether into a red gem in this movie, he is the only avenger can hold (direct contact) an infinity stone (time stone from ancient one) without any problems, but I can't imagine how he would have acquired the knowledge about this. Dr strange might know it, but he was dead and we didn't see avengers time traveled to consult him. Ancient One might know it too but I didn't see Banner asked about it.

I don't believe the movie writers have thought about this at all. I only watched the movies and read some wiki pages, but never read the comic books, so anyone else know more about this or have a different theory?

They used magic. FTFY.

Who to perform this magic? Please elaborate if you are serious about that answer.

The infinity stones can all do many things and take on many forms. Colored gems are how they're most commonly encountered, but they sometimes show up as large glowing spheres or even manifest as a character's surroundings (i.e. they are within a reality created by the stone). When that pocket reality dissipates it usually coalesces into the physical stone nearby.

Comics tend to set loose rules and then bend them, or we find out the characters - and therefore we the readers - had an incomplete understanding of how things work. So what's possible and what isn't changes. And as any comic book reader knows continuity is ... less than perfect.

The stones have no purpose by themselves. Like any tool, they can be used to create or destroy, and are only as good (or bad) as the person using them. Although you can imagine that the power to remake the whole universe with the snap of a finger would corrupt even the most virtuous before long.

It's been years, but if I remember correctly Thanos in the comics wanted to wipe out half of all life because he was in love with a female being whose name I don't remember, who was the personification of death. Not because he was trying to save everyone from overpopulation and exhaustion of resources. He eventually became a good guy.

I think you misunderstood there. Tesseract and Loki's spear were not the form of stones, they are containers. There are arguments saying aether is a container as well, but that is less obvious and base on the nature of reality stone I think it is more of transformation power of reality stone. But that is just my theory.

I did not read comics and I understand there are differences between comic books and the movies. But significantly more money is spent on the movies, so I would prefer at least the movie side of rules and logic are more complete.

Obviously endgame is the movie they started to ignore their own rules to make the plot work.

It's you who misunderstood here. A hint: infinity STONES
Besides:

"This stone represents reality, as it possesses the power to bend the very laws of reality and physics"

Glad to help.

I don't think you contributed anything as your responses are unintelligible.

You clearly don't want to be part of this conversation so do yourself a favor and stop wasting everyone's time.

[–] Lampedusean (498) 5 years ago

You don't think is correct. But pearls before swine so adieu.

[–] fc31 (4563) 5 years ago

I think you may have some form of mental illness so I guess I should be sympathetic. But I have no choice but put you on ignore list, so bye bye.

A quick Google search:

The Aether was always a stone. The only reason it looks the way it does is because it is surrounded by distorted reality. We get a sense of this in the very first Infinity War teaser. When all the stones are breaking from
their containers and attaching to the gauntlet on Thanos' fist.

Ignoring is for the ignorant.
