Thor: Love and Thunder introduces the god-killing Necrosword--a deadly weapon but also one of the biggest mysteries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. IN this video we break down how the sword connects to the rest of the MCU, including Wanda Maximoff, the Black Knight, the Infinity Stones, and the Eternals.

First, let’s review what we know about the necrosword. When Gorr finds the sword, it’s in the possession of a recently deceased being who the gods have just slain. Notice this being is completely covered in darkness, like the black berserkers that Gorr summons throughout the movie. It could be that, if Gorr had the sword for several years, then this darkness would have covered him as well.
The sword appears to have an intelligence. We see it call out to Gorr in its first scene. It whispers his name, and shows him images of eternity, the bifrost-. Basically Gorr’s evil plan in the movie was never his evil plan. This plan was created by the sword, and it seeks out hosts to help it complete its quest to kill all the gods.
Think of the necrosword like the one ring in Lord of the Rings. The ring is evil, and it's embedded with the consciousness of the dark lord sauron. But the ring is also parasitic. It drains the life from people who use it, corrupting them [Bilbo reaching for the ring]. We also see this with Gorr. The sword puts these black veins in his body, his mouth is black and filled with fangs. And, after the sword is gone, he immediately says “I’m dying.”
The ring is also trying to make its way to Sauron, just as the necrosword is trying to kill all the gods.
Now remember that Lord of the Rings metaphor, because we’re going to call back to it a little later on. No spoilers.
We also learn that the necrosword has been around since the dawn of time, and that it has been passed down for billions of years, with the purpose of killing gods. Kind of like if Richard Dawkins embedded his essence into a weapon, like Sauron did the one ring.
Hold on [thinking] yes, that is the weirdest sentence I have ever spoken.
So that’s what we know about the sword. Very old, has an intelligence, corrupts people, and wants to kill gods. Now let’s offer up some informed speculation, figure out why the sword wants to kill gods, and who is actually behind this madness.
First, the sword has been around since the beginning of time. Well, time began at the big bang. And we happen to know a thing or two about the big bang [wong explaining infinity stones]. So the infinity stones have been around since the dawn of time. They are the concentrations of six facets of the universe. And one of those facets is time-so this stone’s origin marks the beginning of recordable time.
And the stones also protect reality from threats that we can’t even imagine. We’ve alsos seen the stones endow certain beings with magical powers. Like Carol Danvers, the Vision, Wanda, and Pietro-and maybe other beings like Thor, Heimdall, and Agatha-I’ll explain in a bit.
So all of these stones and the sword were created at the dawn of time, at the source of the big bang. The big bang was an explosion of energy that stretched outward for billions of years. and , in the movie, we see the center of the universe. It's where eternity resides. The temple is a physical construct that is there to protect Eternity. And eternity can only be reached with a bifrost.
The bifrost is, of course, technology used by the asgardians to travel across the universe. And I’ve theorized in the past that Odin created the bifrost using energy from the space stone. Think about it. He had the stone, invented the bifrost, then conquered the nine realms. Afterwards, he felt bad, banished hela, and stored the tesseract on earth, in norway.
In thor 1, the tesseract is destroyed. This seems kind of permanent. Then, Thor goes to earth, collects the tesseract for Odin, and boom, the bifrost is suddenly fixed. Because they used the tesseract to repair it.
Anyways, it's appropriate that it takes the energy of the space stone-the bifrost-to bend space so you can re-enter the birthplace of the space stone-which would be the center of the universe. And this is the exact location that the necrosword would have come from, because it has existed, quote, since the dawn of time.”

[@Nemoticon]

Gor didn't get enough screen time for character and story development, imo. Like too many potentially great MCU villains, Gor was under-utilised and therefore wasted. If only the villains didn't keep getting killed off so they could return in later instalments, enjoying deeper meaning, familiarity and purpose. Villains validate the heroes and not using great villains to their full potential simply doesn't do the hero or the story justice. The greatest heroes and stories have the greatest villains.

One thing about the Bifrost theory, In Thor: The Dark World we see Borr (Odins father) use the bifrost to get to the dark elves. So this means that it wasn't Odin who invented it, but someone else.

[@danielhughes5932]

Dark magic can also be used to activate a bifrost. But it can't be done often or well

[@Mr713mexican]

No he’s right. Odin dans tend to forget he had a father named Borr. And they also forget that Borr dealt with the Aether and with the dark elves and most likely the builder of Asgard as an inter dimensional place. Odin is unaware of Borr stuff or he would know the location of the reality stone, and if the pocket holes exciting throughout Asgard like loki

It would be sick if they made another sword that is “the first symbiote” and then connected all of these swords somehow. Hella’s sword, Gorr’s sword, Dane’s sword, and then a symbiote sword. I feel like there’s something cool to be done here.

@@oneman5753 sony has the rights for symbiote They will hire morbius writers to execute your brilliant idea

[@Yoda_Saint_Cloud]

“Why does the Necrosword want to kill the Gods?” Because Sony is stupid and won’t fully release the rights to Spider-Man, so we can’t have Knull in the MCU. That’s why the sword is the bad guy and not just a tool used by a bad guy.

[@ASNS117Zero]

Sony doesn't own the movie rights to Knull. He was first introduced in a Thor comic, and it was long after Sony established which characters they have the movie rights to. All Marvel would have to do to use him in a movie would be to tweak his background to avoid using symbiotes, which wouldn't really be hard.

[@xxo5294]

I thought it was implied in the beginning when there was a flashback or like a view into that one place that there was someone else behind the sword? I couldn’t be wrong

[@Yoda_Saint_Cloud]

@@ASNS117Zero so… they’d have to create a whole new character then? Can’t have Knull, god of the symbiotes….. without symbiotes.

[@ASNS117Zero]

@@Yoda_Saint_Cloud Sure you can. All the core aspects of his character could be retained, just scrub the idea of the symbiote and play up the idea of the living abyss and being an avatar of Oblivion. He's not really a complicated character, and it's not like Sony owns the visual concept of 'black ooze', so just call anything like that 'living abyss', without using the word 'symbiote', say that the 'living abyss' is corrupted and lets Knull mind control people, and there you go. You'd lose out of the Klyntar lore, sure, but if you play up the connection with Oblivion from the get go as well as him going around, hunting and killing Celestials, then it's not really too much of a loss. Honestly, with all that being said, I think it's more likely that if Marvel wants to use the concept of Knull, they'll probably just fold all of his character traits into someone else, like Cthun or the Chaos King, just so that they could dodge any potential legal issues with Sony, because Sony could very much make a legal case out of this. It would come down to whether or not Marvel could make the case that Knull isn't just a Venom character, which I honestly think they could do, but it would come down to the opinion of the judge. Why bother with that risk when they can just fold those ideas into someone they definitively own?

aww, now that sucks! i was wondering why they're dancing around Knull and there it is..damn.

[@holla_at_tchalla2548]

Recently just watched the T’Challa becomes Starlord “What If” episode. When the collector uses Hela’s weapon he calls it a necrosword as well. I thought that was really interesting and thought Gorr’s weapon and it might be of the same origin.

[@holla_at_tchalla2548]

@threedoubleyou dotcom all the Collector said was, “That woman had taste. A Necrosword, courtesy of the Asgardian goddess of death.” Just found it as interesting especially since he said “A Necrosword” and not “the”. So could be a family of Necroswords in the MCU.

One correction: the rings of power were made by elves for elves. Sauron made the One ring to master the elves but it failed and he waged war to reclaim the rings since his instruction made them possible. He reclaimed all but the Three elven rings and then distributed 7 to dwarves and 9 to men in hopes he could still bend them to his will. It only worked on men.

[@berkeleyltc8568]

I'd like to see a video about the definition of 'gods' in the MCU. What's the difference between a 'god,' a super-powered being, and an ancient being like a celestial, Eternity, Dormamu, a watcher, etc. There seem to be contradictory statements in the MCU - Ex Odin tells Loki 'We are not gods.' Ego tells Quill 'God with a small g.' Zeus talks about lower and higher gods. Is it related to cosmic energy? Is Captain Marvel then a god? Also, 'Love and Thunder' brought up this issue of gods needing/wanting to be worshipped. Is that part of their power (like that episode of Star Trek with Apollo on the original series). In other words, when Gor says 'All gods must die,' who is he talking about? BTW, the issue of worship is an interesting issue that got side-stepped in 'Love and Thunder.' What are the roles of gods/superheroes in lives of regular people in the MCU (and for regular people who watch MCU movies). I'd love to see/hear more about that.

[@berkeleyltc8568]

@threedoubleyou dotcom Thanks for that thoughtful answer! The relativistic approach is pretty satisfying in many ways, though it seems like the characters (and possibly Marvel creators) may have different opinions. One scene that jumps out at me is when Loki tells Thanos that he'll never be a god right before Thanos kills him. What do you suppose Loki meant by that comment?

[@vidinhadovini]

Great question and great answer! About the worship thing: I recommend American Gods. It's has a interesting take on the power of the worship in modern world.

[@shreeya3789]

Probably the same logic as us: known and worshipped by humans/other lesser than species. Entities like eternity and the watcher almost never reveal their presence to normal humans, hence they don't get a chance to call them Gods.

It might have been interesting if Gor's sword didn't kill gods, but rather just took away their powers. Makes me think about that scene in X-men when Magneto is reduced to an old guy playing chess in the park. Imagine a similar scene with Russel Crowe/Zeus. I'd imagine some of them maintaining their nobility and courage with others being kind of pathetic.

[@drycell476]

[@berkeleyltc8568]

hmm...there's lots of critical talk from the more casual MCU observers that the MCU is going too slowly. It took 4 years to get from Iron Man to Avengers, a mere 5 films. Civil War (or even Ant Man) to Endgame was 8 films spread out over another 5 years. yet with phase 4, so much stuff is coming all at once. we've had more MCU on-screen content in the last two years than phase 3's movies combined. TV: WV, F&WS, Loki, What If, Hawkeye, Ms Marvel. Movies: Black Widow, Eternals, Shang Chi, Dr Strange MoM, and Thor 4...with more on the way. By the time that phase 4 reaches whatever Feige thinks is the endgame (sorry), it'll have had more on-screen footage than the entirety of phases 1 through 3. So there's so much expectation of connections and "just get on with it" - show us NOW how it all becomes Secret Wars, or whatever. Lots of impatience out there, as noted by a recent Forbes review of Thor 4. We're overwhelmed with stuff but no idea what the connections really are meant to be. Comics fans like yourself love this speculation. Business people (again, "Forbes") who need predictability to decide where their stock portfolio needs to go want certainty. So...bleh. Anyways, the thought is that phase 4's finale or closure is not Secret Wars. That's phase 5. The point of Phase 4 is to actually assemble all the groups that have been assembling - no avengers? great. give us 4 years and we'll give you "Young Avengers", "Thunderbolts", "Midnight Suns", and a new Avengers from the ashes of the old (this is what Secret Invasion and Iron Wars will do, combined with Cap 4 starring Mackey's Wilson), along with Fantastic Four and (along the way) a piecemeal introduction to what will become first X-Men MCU. Each will peak at their own. Then in phase 5 we'll see a big opening with X-Men, and then each of these thread teams deal with some aspects of the great incursions until finally Secret Wars happens. and that's looking at a good decade out. So everybody - have patience. If you knew everything a roller coaster was going to do, would you actually enjoy the ride?

[@vidinhadovini]

Exactly, I see a lot of people complaining about "the mess", but they don't understand that we will have several teams and threats at the same time and not a big bad and a big team like Avengers vs Thanos.

Chaos Magic is about making your will come true. Order Magic is about what has to be done. They are opposing forces in the universe, Cthon and the Vishanti. We could position items in an order/chaos index, but maybe they aren't directly Cthon's powers. Furthermore, Cthon can't be Entropy, because Entropy does not bend reality to your will. It does what it does, more like Death in this sense.

[@ryanlondah1282]

I think the reason that the Necrosword called to Gorr is because in the first scene, he accidentally "touch" the Necrosword before meet his god and wounded his hand (wounded like you slice a knife into your hand) maybe that's the reason the sword reach to him when he got choked by his god

I'd also like to point out that in The Avengers, Loki asks Thor how much dark energy Odin had to muster to send Thor to Earth. I think Odin, in possession of the infinity stones, granted himself some sort of power to become more than he was before, including access to dark energy that can facilitate bifrost travel. This is noteworthy because, if the MCU is following similar principles to our reality's physics, dark energy is as an accelerant for the expansion of the universe. In other words, the continued use of the space stone and the bifrost could be ripping the universe apart, which could be what leads to incursions, or at least a need to preserve as much of reality as possible (see: Battleworld, TVA).

[@jarroddblunt4211]

Still think Cthon while coming eventually. Knull is gonna to be the immediate threat because he was the wielder of the Black Necrosword plus the ebony blade has been retconned in Donny Cates Venom that it was a symbiote that was forged into a sword. Yeah the movies may take some liberties from the comics but I think they'd do a disservice if they didn't take this route, seeing as a piece of symbiote from the end credit of No Way Home could also tie that in.

[@Worldly_Pitfall3]

Well they’re leaving that up in the air because if an agreement doesn’t come then knull won’t appear with symbiotes that’s why they called the sword necrosword instead of allblack the necrosword and there was no mention of symbiotes

Hela refers to herself as the goddess of death in Ragnarok. I’m assuming that the entity of death is different than Hela. Could it be possible that Hela’s sword has dark magic and corrupted her?

It's more complicated than entropy being the villain. Time exists because of entropy.

Mephisto: ❎ Chthon: ☑️ Edit: But can't Wanda do spontaneous creation with Chaos magic? If creation is life then chaos magic gives life. Hence, Chthon isn't Entropy.

Fantastic comments Doug. Keep up the good work. Ryan needs your help. Oh, happy Birthday (just in case it is).

"Somehow, Cthon has returned!

[@KmatuX]

Was the announcement all the friends we made along the way?

[@jeffreycarman2185]

These theories seem to be coming into focus, we have Kang threatening chaos and destruction in the multiverse (which is sort of like all time and space) and Chthon threatens all of existence. I can’t imagine how the MCU could ever up the stakes even more after these villains.

[@Peavey311]

Am I misremembering or did we not get that scene you use often in the Thor L&T videos where Gorr is on a beach and the Necrosword comes to his hand? Seems like we didn't get A LOT of scenes in this one.

[@thimmyshadowolf]

it's probably some unused scene that only appeared in the teasers and trailers

[@brittneyann5530]

I have a theory, don’t know if it’s confirmed or not. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the difference between dimensions (ie the mirror dimension, dark dimension, light dimension), and different universes. It seems like they’re similar but not the same. I think the dimensions are the space between universes, kind of like how we saw with the book of vishanti in MoM. Idk let me know if this has been confirmed true or false but I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been, in specifically the MCU anyway.

[@jasongallagher5464]

Question: When Hulk encounters The Ancient One in Endgame, she tells him that if they take their stones it will send their timeline into chaos so that’s why she doesn’t want to give it up. Then back in the present Thanos straight up destroys all the stones in that timeline so that should be pretty bad for them right?

[@agizowat2545]

Hmmm. Don't the rings around the infinity stones on that sculpture from the temple in gaurdians of the galaxy kind of remind you of Shang-chi's rings?

[@blazeer3900]

Cool

[@guyfromdogtownb7985]

Gorrs scares are from a deletes scene where he tears his holy tattos off, ripping his flesh , After killing his God. Guess Disney said that was too much.

[@rprlunn93]

I think they sticking to the Knull and Necrosword storyline as they clearly showed the multiverse spiderman and Venom links

[@ebelesaurus2]

i'm convinced that theory youtubers do more work connecting dots between all the franchise entries, than the actual writers lol. like bro. i know for a FACT these people that ACTUALLY work for marvel studios have don't care enough to think this far ahead. in fact i bet the watch videos like this in the writers room and just go with the theory with the most views on the channel with the most subscribers. i would

[@miloolvera4162]

Should have referenced professor chaos!

[@tyfry2836]

Happy Birthday to Doug anyway🎂

[@BYERE]

Question. If the Bifrost was created using the power of the Space Stone/Tesseract... how come Stormbreaker can summon the Bifrost too? The stone wasn't used in its creation at all.

[@riteshkumbhare4955]

Good question

[@BYERE]

@@riteshkumbhare4955 In a later video, it was pointed out that Odin could have infused the mould used to cast Stormbreaker with the energies of the Space Stone... possibly... There's no actual evidence in the MCU of this, but it makes sense.

[@edwinbloemendaal1519]

I don’t think there has ever been anyone who is always right, but your theories always make sense and are interesting. PLUS you aren’t a minion of Mephisto. What’s not to like? Of course there is your mom…

[@MrMarioBrown]

Ryan! ZBiotics works. In their survey, I mentioned your channel as to how I learned about them.
