Now that there is a spoiler tag there I figure we're probably good...
My point is, just with the mind gem or stone or whatever we're calling it, Loki should probably have been able to own basically everyone. I guess the assumption is he didn't know what he had.
The other side of it is, was Thanos expecting that scepter back? Because otherwise it's sort of like saying, "I am trying to collect all of these infinity stones. I want you to go get the one on Earth. In order to help you, I gift you one of the infinity stones." Wtf? He needs that. Why give it away? Maybe he does expect it back, but that seems like pretty terrible judgment. You probably shouldn't give things to Loki and expect him to level with you.
PS - pretty sure the gauntlet was in Asgard. Not sure how Thanos got it, but I guess by the end of Thor 2 Loki is secretly running the show so maybe that's how.
