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.
I fully expect that endgame wise, Thanos was going to get the Scepter back. He wasn't all that serious about conquoring earth, he just wanted the Tesseract, then he would have betrayed Loki and taken back the other stone.

Loki even with the Mind Stone wouldn't have been able to control everyone at once, it looks like you physically have to interact with the person that you want to bend. Without the power of the other stones, Loki would be able to build an army of his own, but he wouldn't have true destructive power.

I wonder, how soon after Loki delivered the Tesseract to Thanos would his army continue to support Loki?

I'm not sure how Thanos got it, I thought I'd seen the guantlet in the collector's museum in Thor 2, but it was in Odin's collection in Thor.

If he's got he Gauntlet what are the chances that he got the Tesseract?

They were both in the same place.
