#ThorLoveAndThunder #EndingExplained
Thor Love and Thunder is awesome, and there is so much to talk about after that wild ending. Seriously, this movie was like a rollercoaster of massive reveals to the future, so many new characters, so many new elements and stories for the MCU.
And we gotta explain everything.
What happened to Jane, and what’s the deal with Valhalla. What’s next for Thor and Love.
And of course, we have to talk about Hercules, who means so many cool things for the future. Also, we need to address how this movie sets up the return of Loki and so many other Asgardians.
Ok, let’s begin with the movie’s ending, that’s all the crazy stuff that happened even before the two huge credits scenes. We will get to those a little later in this video.
The big climax of the movie takes place in the center of the universe. Just saying this outloud is insane.
Gorr the Godbutcher seeks out Eternity, a being who can grant him any wish. And Gorr’s wish is to kill all the gods.
Gorr is successful in getting to Eternity, but before we talk about what that all means, we must address these two massgive reveals. Eternity and the center of the universe are huge!
First, Eternity. This entity is one of the most important beings in the universe. Scratch that, Eternity is literally the freaking universe. He and his sister, Infinity, are the embodiment of the entire universe.
Let me emphasize that, Love and Thunder just introduced a being who represents the sum total of all things in existence.
Eternity is nigh omnipotent, he is able to control time, space, reality and even magic. Again, he is the embodiment of the universe, he’s basically a god.
So granting wishes is certainly in his wheelhouse.
Though, Eternity usually appears only when the universe is in grave danger. In the comics, he’s not really compelled to grant wishes to anyone.
But it’s a detail that was changed for the MCU. Also, at this point it’s unclear if we will see Infinity.
But the introducing Eternity is getting us one massive step closer to exploring the MCU on a whole other scale. A scope that explores the building blocks of the multiverse itself.
Speaking of, we recently got a tease to the Living Tribunal, who is basically Eternity’s boss. He embodies the highest authority in the Multiverse.
All of this is setting up huge things for the future, espacily the upcoming multiverse war.
Then there’s the center of the universe. That’s the mysterious dimension where Eternity resids. The way to get there is through the temple with all the statues of godly entities.
The center of the universe appears as
reality of infinite pool of water.
It kind of looks like soul-world, only blue. It also reminds me a bit of the tesseract reality from Interstellar.
And inside the pool world, we see Eternity.
Since it’s where Eternity is located, that means that the center of the universe is literally that, the center of the universe.
It’s a reality that allows Eternity to be perceived as a physical manifestation.
So yeah, this is just like the ending of interstellar, in the sense that your brain needs to do some serious acrobatics to comprehend this place.
The center of the universe is likely the MCU’s version of the heart of the universe from the comics.
Though, the heart of the universe is not a place, instead an artifact that grants omnipotent powers. So the MCU took it in a very different direction.
So yeah, Love and Thunder just introduced some huge elements in the MCU.
In the end, Thor convinces Gorr to stop and not kill all the gods, and instead bring his daughter back to life.
And Thor promises to take care of the child.
So in the end, Gorr is kinda redeemed.
[clip: you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain]
Or if you do become the villain, make sure you are possessed by an evil sword, because then you can become the hero again. Or just throw a bad guy into a reactor shaft, and then you can come back as a force ghost.

Bale as Gorr was awesome, when he just appeared from the dark behind the children was really cool It made me jump 💯

[@MuscleBound_withDre]

I initially thought that gorr was going to be a bad portrayal but honestly the tone of the movie made it even better. The fact that humor and stupidity was at the center of these characters who’ve already had everything taken from them at the hands of higher beings, the best.

[@jays1752]

I wanted Gorr to lose and that's what made Bale's version of the character so well drawn. I don't want my villain's to be heroes. Sympathetic, yes. But they should represent a wayward path. The way Gorr was used was one of the biggest dropped balls in the MCU. This movie could've been among the best in the history of the genre. Instead it was a light distraction. Entertaining but (mostly) fluff.

Yeah Mjolnir seems to be what always convinces him of who he is inside. He needs the hammer in the mcu because it convinces him that he is still worthy as a person. Like we saw in Endgame and here.

all those moments can be brought back to when he first became worthy again to defeat the destroyer. That will always be my favorite Thor moment. That song playing while he gets his powers back is the best super hero theme next to the man of steel.

[@andriyp3741]

One of the things I realized, when Thor enchanted Mjolnir to protect Jane, is that whether a person was worthy to wield Mjolnir was always based on whether Odin would view them as worthy. Tho I'm not sure if Odin's enchantment still applies or got overwritten by Thor's, as the reason Jane could wield Mjolnir was because it was trying to protect her from the cancer.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

I like to think that the older Loki we saw in the Loki series, who faked his death and hid, is the 616 Loki, and perhaps that the main Loki from the series will find him and convince him to come out of hiding.

[@Croftice1]

@@spacebass79g98 That's not the original Loki though. TVA Loki is one of many Loki variants like the lady Loki (Sylvie), the older Loki, the child Loki, the gator Loki and many many more, that we've seen at the end of time. This one is close to the original, because he was basically "created" as a side effect of the time travel in Endgame. TVA Loki comes from the 2012 branch of the Sacred Timeline, not from the Sacret Timeline itself. Same with 2014 Thanos, 2014 Nebula and 2014 Gamora. Original Gamora is still dead, sacrificed by Thanos on Vormir for the Soul stone. 2014 Gamora is a different person, but she's still close to the original, though she doesn't know, who Quill is, she didn't live through those events. When Nebula killed her "younger version", the original Nebula should perish, right? She killed her past self. But that's not, how things in Endgame work, she killed a 2014 Variant of herself, a version from a branched Timeline. A separate being, close enough to the original, but coming from a branched Timeline The exact same stuff applies to 2014 Thanos. When Tony snapped Thanos out of existence, he did so to 2014 Variant, not the original Thanos, so it didn't undo anything the original Thanos did since 2014, including collecting all the stones, killing Vision, Loki and Gamora and snapping half the universe. So in conclusion TVA Loki is not the original Loki and the original is still dead, killed by Thanos in Infinity War. If Loki comes back from Valhalla (assuming he is there), then that would be the real (original) Loki.

But her own personal battle with cancer was where she lost her life and her fight against the deadly disease is what earned her place in Valhalla.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. The reason why; I was going to watch this movie with my father but he passed away before I could. So both of my parents are gone and as introvert they felt like the whole world to me. Then when I watched this movie with my little brother it felt like we really needed this movie. He loves super heroes and his favorite is Thor. Seeing Thor, so strong and with super powers, he’s still vulnerable and relatable to anyone, loss. And then I enjoyed the message; even when everything seems dark and lost; there’s always something worth it. Then the jokes made him laugh and after these dark days for us it means the world to me to see him laugh

Another thing I noticed was Jane pleading with Thor to ‘keep his heart open’. Now we have two legendary heroes who have something in common with an upcoming hero, She-Hulk. Both Thor and Hercules had relationships with the Jade Giantess and that could make for a humorous subplot of Thor 5.

Disagree. Showing Gorr killing other gods would just be unless eye candy, whereas if you think about it the Guardians are the best mirror to Thor's situation - every single one of the Guardians had lost someone they love, but they picked themselves up and continues on being goofballs and living their moments, embodying Star Lord's speech about it's better to fill shitty rather than empty. They are the only ones who can actually plant the seed to convince Thor to move on and keep growing, so when Thor quoted Star Lord's speech as inspiration to acknowledge his feelings for Jane, it has weight to it.

[@crosscountrybro555]

I really like your take here and I think it mirrors what I thought about this movie as well. I think that the movie skipped over the good parts of the movie.

My guess is that Natalie Portman went to Valhalla because she doesn't want to committ to additional movies. They aren't going to shut doors just in case but my guess is Jane is probably gone. Portman used a convenient excuse to exit the role prior to Ragnorok and i just don't think remaining in MCU movies is something she wants to focus on. They gave her the Scarlett Johaneson treatment.

The reflection of Gorr's daughter coming back to life in the water looked ominous...as well as her disobedience to her adopted father... wish Gorr could have been shown as the butcher he is in the comics...seeing him create victims would have made him more convincing as a threat instead of scaring children with stories...also his learning of the need for the bifrost was thinly explained...and how does he get around to different locals wasn't clear... highlight of the movie was the kids fighting the shadow monsters...

[@jordanbomb32]

Story time with Gorr did rule tho. I loved that scene. Obviously they need to edit these pictures down so they're more digestible for movie goers. But they should start letting these movies be closer to 3 hours. More story and more answers would for sure be welcome. But that would probably hurt ticket sales unfortunately. I would have loved a 3 hour Love and Thunder tho. It doesn't deserve the hate on rotten tomatoes that's for true

[@thetanpopsicle3824]

Love is being set up as part of the Young Avengers, w/ or w/o Kid Loki, or at least cameos and intersectional stories with them. They might even have a Kid Loki/Love adventure or Disney+ series depending on fan-demand. Perhaps they will do a What IF ... episode featuring them. What they do so well is leave open doors for future storylines, a lesson FINALLY replicated from the comics and what was so lacking in early attempts at live action offerings. Should Jane Foster return as a Valkyrie to the main MCU, then there will callbacks to her conversations with Tessa T.'s character in this movie and comments like "Team Jane". We might also get flashbacks to Jane's time between the reassembly of Mjolnir and Thor's return to New Asgard. Gorr was Jane's first "bad guy", but she and Valkyrie had time to bond and she (Jane) had tried out"all" of the catch phrases according to Valkyrie.. Also, you need to help push the bandwagon for Valkyrie to get a prequel movie or Disney+ series because she is a total badass character. We want more of her.

MCU movies seem to have always done two things: tell a self contained story, while world building in the back. They went hand in hand and were connected. Lately, it's felt like these two things are more disconnected. Like Eternity in the plot of THOR 4 is just a genie, and otherwise merely an easter egg. doesn't really feel like world building.

[@lightdarksoul2097]

I can see that but to me it seems to be a different kind of worldbuilding if you look at it a different way. The only way to get to Eternity is using the bifrost. A lock made by the gods. The lock needing this "key" means it had to have been designed by Odin who was the only one with the bifrost. The way the look of the door, only Thor or Heimdallr would ever have been able to do this. Makes me think that the timeline is still fully written out, everything is still a circle in the grand scheme of things like we saw in Loki.
