So Thor goes to some planet to get the axe and then goes to Earth. How the fuck did Thor know to find Thanos in Wakanda?

Between Stormbreaker channeling the Bifrost, Thor becoming the All-Father with Odin's death (his power growth in Ragnarok), and Thanos' troop carrier ships at Wakanda, doesn't seem like it would be hard for Thor to figure out where to go. Thanos wasn't in Wakanda when Thor arrived. Thanos hadn't even gone to Titan when Thor arrived in Wakanda.
BTW how did you watch Infinity War? Some streaming site right? Which?

It's not deus ex magica, it's just putting obvious pieces together. Do you or dcfan really need every little thing spoonfed to you?

Do you or dcfan really need every little thing spoonfed to you?if it's so little explain it by making sense. I think you are just manchild-splaining. Sheer nonsense. But I could be wrong here. Pray tell by referring to dialogue and exposition in the film: What does that even mean? Bifrost is a means of travelling, not a GPS system to locate someone. Now imagine this issue squared with millions of planets, and billions of location and you do not know where to go exactly… I remember he became Electro shooting lightning (very cheesy). Maybe it's deus ex machina? So electromagnetism works like GPS to locate random persons in MCU too? Thor as All-father is all-knowing now (lol)? Why did he not see Thanos coming in the beginning then? Please point out where this is set out by dialogue. I don't think so. And how would he even find the group carrier in the first place. Do you know how vast little Earth is. And didn't Thor just pop up from the sky with lightning directly charging at Thanos... Maybe these logic leaps require a gullible leap of faith?

What does that even mean? Bifrost is a means of travelling, not a GPS system to locate someone. It's solely a means of traveling when Heimdall summons someone from wherever they are (Point A) to his Observatory (Point B). But when Thor is in control of it, and there is no Heimdall's Observatory, then he can control where he's going.
After getting Stormbreaker, he went to Earth, saw Thanos' carriers above Wakanda, went down to where the action obviously was. Did you really need the movie showing Thor investigating the most likely points of interest?
It's funny you cite deus ex machina, meaning god from the machine, when Thor himself is a god...

Yes. They do. They all have GPS.

No. I honestly do not give a squishy raccoon turd about logic leaps in Infinity War. But DC Fan asked and you responded making no sense. I still do not know how Thor in all the universe knew how and where to find Thanos. Was is deus ex magica or deus ex machina? Or GPS all along? We might never know. But I will have to learn to live with that.

Odin was King of Asgard, Odin had the Odinforce/OdinSight
Odin died Thor became King of Asgard, wielding Stormbreaker ("A King's weapon") awakened some of the power he was inheriting, helped him use the Bifrost and find the action.

Seriously, if Thor is some "All-Father" who's all knowing, then why the fuck didn't Thor know who the Guardians were or know that Gamora was Thanos' daughter when Thor first came aboard the Guardians' ship? It sounds like another weak excuse (as weak as the excuse that the Patriots footballs deflated on their own while the Colts footballs didn't deflate as much because apparently the laws of physics work differently when the footballs are on opposite sides of the field).

Basically, it's a plothole that still hasn't been explained. So Thor, the "All-Father" who's all-knowing knows exactly where to find Thanos on Earth but didn't know who the fuck the Guardians were and didn't know Gamora is Thanos' daughter when Thor first came aboard the Guardians' ship? HUGE PLOTHOLE!!!

The same "all-knowing" Thor who didn't know who the fuck the Guardians were and didn't know Gamora is Thanos' daughter when Thor first came aboard the Guardians' ship. So basically Thor is "all-knowing" only when the script calls for it.

Seriously, if Thor is some "All-Father" who's all knowing, then why the fuck didn't Thor know who the Guardians were or know that Gamora was Thanos' daughter when Thor first came aboard the Guardians' ship? Don't know about the MCU Odin, but Norse Odin drank from the 'Fountain of Wisdom' (Mimir's Well) which cost him an eye. It stands to reason the MCU Odin did that as well though it hasn't been mentioned. Thor never drank from that well. It sounds like another weak excuse (as weak as the excuse that the Patriots footballs deflated on their own while the Colts footballs didn't deflate as much because apparently the laws of physics work differently when the footballs are on opposite sides of the field). Well those balls were tested at halftime weren't they? Halftime is...12-15 minutes long? If the Patriots' footballs were tested at the start of halftime, and the Colts' footballs were tested at the end, that means the Colts had more time to warm up, which would account for the alleged discrepancy (we don't have exact pre-game pressures so we can't know).

HUGE PLOTHOLE!!!I don't call things that weren't explained in the story plot holes unless they contradict something else given in the story. But I do understand that some people desire there to be more exposition of some points than a movie contains and those folks tend to revel in finding them, calling them plot holes. Knock yourself out. I'm just providing what others have said, as the question was asked several months ago.
