Did SMH ever say that Peter started using his powers to help people after he let a thief get away who murdered Uncle Ben? MCU fans keep saying they didn't need to show Peter's origin story because it should be common knowledge for anyone who's familiar with Spider-Man. By that same reasoning, WW doesn't have to spoon-feed it to you that Hephaestus forged the lasso and the bracelets because Hippolyta said they received many gifts from the gods and it's common knowledge that Hephaestus created weapons for the gods.
Unlike Norse mythology (in which most of the general public have only heard about Odin, Thor, and Loki and don't know much about the other gods), Greek mythology is the most popular mythology in the world and most people know about the Trojan War and other famous Greek myths and most people know who the Greek gods are.
There are some stories that are so famous that no explanation is necessary. When someone says "the face that launched a thousand ships", everyone knows that's a reference to Helen of Troy. When someone says "betrayed by a kiss", everyone knows that's a reference to Judas betraying Jesus.
Most people know that Zeus was the King of the Gods. Most people know that Ares was the God of War. Most people know that Hades was the God of the Underworld. Most people know that Poseidon was the God of the Sea. Most people know that Aphrodite was the Goddess of Love. And most people know that Hephaestus made weapons for the Gods. So those don't have to be spoon-fed to you.
But most people don't know anything about the MacGuffin gauntlets or the Infinity Stones. Who made the Infinity Stone gauntlets and why make a right-hand-gauntlet and left-hand-gauntlet when only 1 gauntlet is needed and the gauntlets by themselves are useless without the Infinity Stones? What is the purpose of the 2nd gauntlet if it's useless without the Infinity Stones? That's not common knowledge. Heck, not even you MCU fans can explain that.
Did they state that the godkiller was made by Hephaestus? Cause it wasn't now was it? It was a ruse. So what most people think might not be true. If they don't say he made the lasso it's anyone's guess who made it in the movie version.
But guess what nobody cares. It's irrelevant like who made the gauntlet.
It's just you asking for trouble.
