Dirty Coward: When Gorr kills Rapu with the Necrosword, his fellow gods hide or flee in terror upon realizing the person they had viciously mocked only minutes earlier now has the means to kill them. Zeus, despite claiming Gorr has only killed low-level gods and isn't worth their time, admits to Thor that he won't do anything to stop the God Butcher's reign of terror because he's too scared of the Necrosword. It's implied every god in Omnipotence City is the same, preferring the decadent safety of Omnipotence City over actually fighting against Gorr. | |

Master Swordsman: Gorr, who was but a peaceful mortal priest who has not even held a weapon in his life, is able to through sheer hatred alone attain enough skill and might in swordsmanship to defeat and literally disarm Lady Sif, a warrior who is at least Thor's equal in age and skill of fifteen centuries, and then proceed to carve a bloody swathe through 1499 more planets of their Gods and people. And later on, he manages to hold off Thor, Jane and Valkyrie at once, even inflicting a stab wound on Valkyrie that forces her to stay out of the final fight. | |

Comedic Work, Serious Scene | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_1849f58e | comment |
Comedic Work, Serious Scene: Gorr confronting a restrained Thor, Jane, and Valkyrie is played completely straight with all four principals doing their best to make it as creepy as possible. In fact, the entire black and white sequence is mostly serious and contains few comedic bits. Jane having cancer is consistently treated seriously, and no jokes are made regarding it, except for her blusteringly questioning how bad stage four cancer can be (Darcy, of course, notes that it's stage four of four, meaning it can't get any worse). The deaths of Jane and Gorr are very much Played for Drama. | |

| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_19d06ef7 | comment |
In the montage depicting Thor's time with the Guardians, Peter Quill is shown drinking with him and quickly consoling him when he breaks down crying. In Infinity War, Rocket mused it was "time to be the captain" when he went to check on Thor's well-being during their trip to Nidavelir, evidently inspired by Quill doing the same for his crew. | |

| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The official trailer suggests that Gorr is the one who hits the small planet with a shockwave. In the film, that's actually Thor's doing. The teaser also suggests that Thor is trying to retire from superheroics, only for Gorr to pull him back out of it. In truth, Thor is still active as a hero, and only briefly stops to meditate early in the film. | |

The Cameo | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: In the mid-credits Stinger, Brett Goldstein makes his MCU debut as Hercules, who Zeus sends to hunt down Thor. In the post-credits Stinger, Idris Elba returns as Heimdall to greet Jane upon her arrival in Valhalla. This also makes Elba the only other actor besides Chris Hemsworth to appear in all four Thor films. Kat Dennings and Stellan Skarsgård reprise their previous MCU-roles as Dr. Darcy Lewis and Dr. Erik Selvig in a small appearance near the beginning of the movie. Daley Pearson has a small cameo as a tour guide named Daryll. He played Thor's roommate Darryl in the non-canon Team Thor-promo videos before Thor: Ragnarok. | |

Green-Eyed Monster | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: When he first sees Jane wielding Mjölnir, Thor, who doesn’t recognize her, is clearly jealous - his immediate reaction is to change his costume into a more ostentatious suit of blue and gold armor with an over the top helmet. Through the remainder of the first act, Thor actively tries to summon Mjölnir to his side away from Jane and even makes a point of proving that he’s still worthy by picking up his former hammer in front of her. Thor's jealousy over Jane wielding Mjölnir has the knock-on effect of making Stormbreaker jealous, with the axe effectively being portrayed as someone who keeps seeing their lover making eyes towards their ex. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: A Running Gag in the movie has Thor talk to his weapons as though they were people, treating seeing Mjölnir again and his problems with Stormbreaker as though he's reconnected with an ex-girlfriend and his new girlfriend being jealous. That said, Thor seems to have performance issues activating the Bifrost with it after their first fight with Gorr, and both weapons tend to conveniently gravitate around him when he focuses on one of them. Is this just Thor subconsciously controlling them when his emotions are acting up, or do the enchantments on them make them sentient? We never get an answer. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In the comics, it was implied the pantheon of Gorr's home planet had the perfectly legitimate excuse for not looking after their followers of being killed by or at war with Knull. Here, not only are they still alive and at peace, they see their devout worshippers as dispensable and are willing to let them all die to the desert while they live in luxury because there are many more mortals to enslave through their empire. In the comics, Omnipotence City enforced order amongst the pantheons of the cosmos, signing treaties for the good of entire worlds. Here, it's simply a sort of elite club for gods to indulge in their vices while Gorr rampages across the universe. | |

Black Comedy | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_222dc873 | comment |
Both films have a campy sense of humor and presentation, but come from completely opposite ends. Multiverse of Madness's humor is mostly Black Comedy mixed with likely deliberate campy horror elements from director Sam Raimi, while this movie’s comedy is a lighthearted rom-com style of humor. | |

Back for the Dead: Doctor Jane Foster succumbs to her cancer and dies in Thor's arms, with her soul going to Valhalla in the post-credits sequence. Subverted with Lady Sif. She's introduced fatally wounded after her off-screen battle with Gorr when Thor arrives and wants Thor to leave her to die. However, once Thor tells her she wouldn't go to Vallhalla for not dying during the battle she gets back her will to live and agrees going to Asgard. She's seen again in the end, training Axl. Also subverted for Korg, who gets nailed by Zeus's thunderbolt (get its name right!) and collapses into rubble. However, it turns out the only part of his species that's actually alive is the face and he ends up pulling himself back together in the end. | |

Disappears into Light: Anytime a god dies, they fade away into golden sparks. The same happens when Jane dies. This effect is replicated by New Asgard's theatre group. When they reenact Odin's death in Thor: Ragnarok, they use golden glitter to represent the sparks as Odin's actor crawls off-stage. | |

Turn the Other Cheek: Has it not been for Gorr, Thor would not be forced to watch Jane die in his arms, giving her life so he can destroy the Necrosword and save the Children of Asgard. Thor has every right to hate the mad god-butcher, and owes him nothing. Yet not only does he forgive his dying enemy by honoring his Last Request to protect his resurrected daughter Love, but also teach her to be a kinder and more compassionate God than the ones that failed her father. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: When Korg tells Thor's story in the beginning, Thor can be briefly seen wearing his classic costume from the comics. Thor has a variation of the Ravagers' red jacket with a matching pair of boots on. This gives him a notable resemblance to Eric Masterson a.k.a. Thunderstrike, the Thor from the '90s. Thor's gaudy blue and gold armor hearkens not only to his classic costume, but also his Battle Armor forged from Damascus Steel. A shot of Thor and Korg looking at the corpse of Falligar the Behemoth is a near-perfect recreation of a panel from Thor: God of Thunder #3. A literal one to Norse Mythology: the Warrior God Tyr also famously sacrifices an arm to protect Asgard as Lady Sif did in the film, albeit he willingly gave his to placate Fenris the titanic Sky-Eating Wolf (Loki's son in mythology), whose MCU equivalent was already slain by Hulk in Ragnarok, from eating Asgard (the MCU version also already having been obliterated by Surtur the Fire Giant). Another literal Mythology Gag as the concept of Thor having a daughter (played by Chris Hemsworth’s real daughter) is actually quite true to Norse myth where Thor has a daughter with Sif called Þrúðr. As the Mighty Thor, Jane Foster wields a badly cracked Mjölnir, a nod to the War of the Realms, where she pieced together the shattered Earth-1610 version of Mjölnir to temporarily become Thor again. As in Thor: God of Thunder, Gorr gets the Necrosword from the corpse of a dark god clad in black armor (though this dark god is unlikely to be Knull) and uses it to kill a golden-armored god. Gorr and the Necrosword draws their power from the Shadow Realm, which in the comics was first introduced in Marvel Spotlight as the home dimension of Mister E and other shadow-men; with King In Black retconning it to be the primordial void that existed before the universe, and from which Knull created the symbiotes — including All-Black the Necrosword and Mister E. To literal Mythology again: The tour boat is pulled by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr — localized as "Toothgnasher" and "Toothgrinder" — who pull Thor's chariot in Norse mythology. The side says "Aegir Asgard Tours". Aegir is a Jotunn personifying the ocean. Thor's line about eating them may be a reference to the fact that in mythology he did — repeatedly, as he would resurrect them the next day. Another literal Mythology Gag: the blood of the Greek gods is golden, referencing the Ichor from Greek Mythology. The Mighty Thor arrives at the final battle riding Val's pegasus. In Jane Foster: Valkyrie, she gets a winged horse of her own. In The Stinger, Zeus sends Hercules to get revenge on Thor. Herc and Thor are frequently portrayed as rivals in the comics, with Herc's first appearance being an issue of Thor in which he starts a fight with the Odinson for basically no reason. When Thor and the Guardians begin receiving numerous distress signals regarding Gorr's deicidal rampage, one of the on-screen images shows a room full of dead gods hanging from chains. Thor comes across that very sight in person while investigating Gorr's killing spree in Thor: God of Thunder. Following his and Korg's discovery of Falligar's corpse, Thor encounters a wounded Sif in the same way young Thor came across Hinkon while tracking Gorr in Thor: God of Thunder. Unlike Hinkon, however, Sif lives to fight another day. When Thor is imploring Omnipotence City to fight Gorr, Zeus states they aren't a "god police". In the comics, Omnipotence City does in fact have a police squad that King Thor will be a member of before he becomes Allfather in his timeline. Thor erroneously has Nick Fury misnamed as "Nick Furry" in his phone contacts, which could be a reference to Fury's Spider-Ham counterpart, a bear named "Nick Furry". One of the gods on Omnipotence City looks like the attired form of Amatsu-Mikaboshi. Sif's Asgardian armor is lifted straight from the comics, complete with a headpiece and fur-lined cape. | |

Valkyrie is impaled after the first expedition to the Shadow Realm. The wound does heal up, but Valkyrie thinks she'd be a liability and die easily if she went for the final battle, so she needs time to recover. | |

This trope plays a big role in Gorr's origin: In the beginning of the movie a desperate and suffering Gorr meets his god shortly after his daughter died. He expected help and a reward for his worship, but instead gets mocked by his god as the latter sees mortals as pieces of crap who only exist to worship gods. This leads to Gorr killing him and vowing to kill all gods. | |

Noodle Incident | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Thor gives a rousing speech to the Asgardians about how he will rescue the children and then they can feast in celebration. He then hastily clarifies they won't feast on the children which they apparently did during a "dark, shameful" period. The dialogue between Zeus and Thor (particularly after he discovers the entire Asgardian party) suggests that the Aesir (either under Odin or even Bor, Thor's grandfather) once paid court to Omnipotence City. What drove them away from it is not explicitly touched upon. However, the fact that Bor and Odin have once been expansionists that would have likely clashed with Zeus's hedonistic apathy is the likeliest explanation, especially since it is implied Zeus has been long like this. | |

Terminal Transformation | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_3ee690ca | comment |
Terminal Transformation: Through Mjölnir, Jane Foster is able to transform her cancer-stricken body into that of a healthy, buff goddess known as Mighty Thor, able to fight monsters and other godly beings. However, the power of Thor saps her energy needed to fight off the cancer, which accelerates the disease spreading in her body. She is forbidden by Thor to partake in the Final Battle against Gorr out of fear that it would be the one that ultimately does her in, but Jane refuses to sit quietly when others need help. She takes up Mjölnir to become Mighty Thor once last time and fights Gorr head on before succumbing to the cancer. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: In the comics, Gorr is presented as an almost irredeemable villain whose Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the gods comes off as more petty than justified. He's shown murdering gods completely innocent of any wrongdoing with no remorse, and more than one character calls him out as becoming as bad as the evil gods he claims to be hunting. However, in the film, Gorr looks more heroic in his quest for revenge by virtue of many of his targets being portrayed as actual scumbags who deserve what's coming to them. | |

Someone to Remember Him By: Played with. It's revealed that Hemdall had a son with similar powers to his father. And when Korg suggests that Thor and Jane could make up and have "little baby Thors" someday, Valkyrie says it's unfortunately impossible since Jane has late stage cancer and probably wouldn't be able to survive long enough or have the strength to carry a child to term; but it's partially because of Jane's reassurance to Gorr that his daughter would be looked after if he chose to wish her back that Thor adopts the girl in the end. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Jane says that it was 3 years since she last seen Thor, while Thor says it was 8 years. A nod that Natalie Portman did not record new footage for Jane's cameo in Avengers: Endgame. In the mid-credits Stinger, Zeus complains about the ascension of superheroes and how the Gods have been forgotten and are no longer feared. This mirrors the real-life academic argument about how super-heroes are modern day myths and have supplanted the gods and legends of yesteryear in global storytelling. The movie Framing Device is Korg telling the story of Thor to a bunch of children. Korg is played by writer-director Taika Waititi. | |

Advertised Extra: Jaimie Alexander is given fifth billing as Sif despite appearing in 3 short scenes. She does however reference an important plot point that is referenced later. The Guardians of the Galaxy were heavily featured in the trailers, but they go off on a separate mission early in the movie, and are never seen again. Fittingly, they don't have appearances on the film's poster, though they were featured in the merchandise line (with both Star-Lord and Groot getting action figures in the movie's tie-in Marvel Legends wave). Zeus is also heavily advertised in the trailers, but is seemingly killed off by Thor early in the movie, and later only appears in the mid-credit scene to sic Hercules on Thor. | |

Bookends: The film opens and closes with Korg narrating the story of Thor. During the Cold Open, Rapu callously informs Gorr that there is no eternal reward for him after his death. The final stinger proves Rapu wrong, as Heimdell greets Jane Foster and welcomes her to Valhalla, though that could have just been Rapu talking about Gorr's people. The film begins with Frigga taking Thor into a battle as an infant to defend a helpless village from brigands, to teach him the values of kindness and compassion. The film ends with Thor honoring and passing down his mother's teachings to Love, his niece adopted from Gorr, by letting her inherit Stormbreaker and charging together into battle with him to defend another village of innocent aliens from bandits. In the opening scene, Gorr cradles his daughter as she dies. At the close the resurrected Love cradles him as he passes away. | |

Empowered Badass Normal: Like in the comics, Jane Foster gets the powers of the Mighty Thor via Mjölnir after being a normal astrophysicist in her previous appearances in the franchise. In the climactic fight against Gorr, Thor empowers the children of Asgard with (for a limited time only) the Power of Thor. At the end of the movie, Gorr's resurrected daughter is shown to have been empowered by Eternity, giving her laser vision, the physical strength to wield Stormbreaker, and who knows what else. | |

Not only does Jane not replace Thor as the God of Thunder, she actually dies. Thor does give Love Stormbreaker, but that is simply an extension of Thor's Character Development that he is not intrinsically tied to his weapons. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: In the comics, it is explained that Jane becoming the Mighty Thor is slowly killing her because Mjölnir, in the process of empowering her, magically purges all toxins and venoms in her body. This undoes all of her chemotherapy treatments and allows her cancer — which is made up of her own body's cells — to run rampant. Since a similar reveal happens in a scene when time is of the essence, the film expedites the explanation by saying the transformation is using up too much of her energy, which she needs to fight cancer, echoing Jane's meeting with Darcy earlier in the film when the latter begged her to slow down. A brief nod exists to the original concept when Jane glances over her Norse Mythology books and focuses on a line that claims Mjölnir would make its wielder "healthy". | |

Central Theme | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Love. Star-Lord gives Thor a pep talk about love (or in his words, having something to feel "shitty" about). Thor and Jane's relationship comes back into play years after their breakup, and they slowly begin to rekindle their love throughout the film. Thor also gets caught up in a Love Triangle between himself, Mjölnir, and Stormbreaker, with the latter clearly getting jealous of Thor's ex-weapon. At the end, Gorr realizes that Thor and Jane's love for each other reflects his own love for his daughter, and he uses his dying wish not to exact revenge on the gods, but to reunite with his girl and give her a second chance at life. In the epilogue, Korg himself finds love in the form of a fellow Kronan named Dwayne. Compassion, unconditional kindness towards those less fortunate than you, is a love more noble than any other; Rapu and Zeus are hence little better than monstrous brutes for lacking this kindness in spite of their Godhood, while Jane Foster, a "mere" mortal is deemed worthy of being regarded as a Hero by Valhalla itself by laying down her life to protect the innocent chidlren of Asgard kidnapped by Gorr, and hence enter the afterlife of Heroes AS a God in Death. And it is precisely Thor's compassion for a remorseful dying Gorr that allowed him to forgive the God Butcher for causing Jane's final death, and then passes this virtue onto Love, Gorr's resurrected daughter, by adopting her as his niece, and teaching her to be a kinder God than the ones who failed her father by taking her into battles to defend the innocent, just as Frigga taught him in his childhood. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_617f0563 | comment |
The main plots both involve grieving parents driven to madness by a dark artifact and the loss of their children coming into conflict with the heroes. However, Wanda-616 was obsessed with getting her children back and ultimately must let them go because they don’t exist anymore in her universe, which prompted her Heel–Face Turn. Meanwhile, Gorr was so blinded by vengeance that he didn't think about getting his daughter back at all until the very end where he makes a wish for her resurrection. Meta-wise, Love and Thunder gives Gorr a lot of sympathetic moments while Multiverse of Madness focuses on the many nasty consequences of Wanda's actions which make Gorr a more sympathetic villain. | |

Glorious Death: Played for Laughs. Thor finds Lady Sif fading away on the battlefield after losing an arm battling Gorr the God Butcher. She initially tells him not to save her so she can die a warrior's death and go to Valhalla. However, Thor points out one can only go to Valhalla if they die in battle — since the battle was already over, she would not go to Valhalla if she died now. She has an Oh, Crap! moment before agreeing to let Thor save her. | |

Destroy the Villain's Weapon: The heroes aim to destroy the Necrosword as it is simultaneously empowering Gorr and keeping him alive. Jane shatters the physical blade of the Necrosword, and then dispels its essence with Mjölnir to prevent the weapon from reforming itself. Unlike most instances of this trope, Gorr survives without the blade long enough to reach Eternity and almost make his wish. | |

During the convocation of the gods, there are also a few shots of a Māori woman in full regalia (credited as Māori Princess). These are pretty clear references to Taika Waititi's own Māori heritage. | |

Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Invoked by the Guardians of the Galaxy. Having spent more than enough time dealing with Thor while trying to help other civilizations, they're more than happy to leave him behind when he opts to return to New Asgard to protect his people from Gorr the God Butcher. Also happens with Zeus and the other gods in Omnipotence City, as Zeus in particular is utterly terrified of facing Gorr, and knows that he'd never reach the city anyways due to not knowing where it is. At no point during the movie does Thor call on the likes of Captain Marvel or the Eternals to assist him in his mission to defeat Gorr. | |

Villain Has a Point | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: While he's clearly painting with a broad brush, Gorr's point that gods are selfish beings who care nothing for those who worship them is vindicated by his own god (who became Gorr's first victim), and by Zeus, a hedonistic blowhard who doesn't care who Gorr kills and is perfectly willing to wait for the Necrosword to eventually kill Gorr rather than acting to help anyone else. Thor's encounter with Zeus forces him to reluctantly concede Gorr's case isn't wrong when it comes to gods like him. Gorr, recognizing Valkyrie as, well, a Valkyrie, asks if the gods to whom she owed allegiance did anything to save her sisters-in-arms (among whom was Valkyrie's lover) when they were slaughtered by Hela (herself the godess of death). Valkyrie sheds a Single Tear and can't look Gorr in the eye, implying that she knows he's not far from the truth. | |

Idiot Ball: The head of Gorr's pantheon of gods (after Gorr spend his last remaining strength, and his daughter's life reaching him), tells Gorr to get out and die for his glory, while he and the others celebrate them taking down the wielder of a god-killing sword. Which sword? Oh, that one right next to you at arm's length. Why? | |

Jerkass Gods: Nearly all the gods except the titular hero appearing in this movie are portrayed that way, not really caring for people other than themselves. It makes it kinda hard to say that Gorr's motivation is unjustified. | |

Summon to Hand | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_74abf030 | comment |
Summon to Hand: Gorr can summon the Necrosword, and a remark from Rapu that the Necrosword chose him suggests that's why he has that ability. Jane Foster is the newly repaired Mjölnir's new master and can call it to her hand. Thor can summon Stormbreaker and Mjölnir, though the latter only after Jane's death. | |

There's an example at the beginning of the movie, but it's Played for Laughs. Thor single-handedly saves the planet the Guardians have been called to help. In the process, he completely demolishes the temple. The king is clearly upset by this, and in an act of passive-aggression hidden by generosity, rewards the Guardians with two giant space goats who scream incessantly. It's more than likely that Thor ruined the Guardians' reputation on that planet. | |

Celebrity Paradox: When Jane is explaining the concept of Einstein-Rosen bridges to a fan of her book, she asks him if he's seen either Event Horizon or Interstellar, since both of those movies feature a simplified demonstration of the concept. Event Horizon starred Sam Neill, who appears in this film and in Thor: Ragnarok as the Asgardian actor who portrays Odin; Laurence Fishburne, who played Bill Foster in Ant-Man and the Wasp; and Kathleen Quinlan, who appeared in Runaways (2017). Interstellar, meanwhile, featured Matt Damon, who is the Asgardian actor portraying Loki in this film and in Thor: Ragnarok, and Josh Stewart, who portrayed John Pilgrim in the second season of The Punisher (2017). | |

It's more than likely that Thor ruined the Guardians' reputation on that planet. Thor, Jane, Valkyrie, and Korg's quest to Omnipotence City to request Zeus and the gods' help in the fight against Gorr turn out to be this. While Zeus turns out to be a pretty big jerk who actively ignores the galactic affairs in favor of hosting godly parties and hiding away in the safety of his domain, he still doesn't pose any threat until Thor disrespected and almost killed him, at which point Zeus realizes just how far the gods have fallen out of favor with their former worshippers. In the first stinger, Zeus decides to take action to make mortals fear the gods once more by sending his son Hercules on a mission to swat Thor out of the sky. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |

Establishing Character Moment: Gorr gets two: The opening scene, where Gorr and his daughter trek a seemingly endless desert shows Gorr both praying to Rapu, demonstrating piety, and him caring for his daughter, whom he holds as she dies of thirst. Gorr's attack on New Asgard demonstrates his control over shadows and his ability to summon the Black Berserkers, while his fight with Thor shows off his newfound sadism and deadly combat skill; he holds his own against Thor while taunting him over how painful his death by the Necrosword would be. After a flashy entrance, Zeus immediately starts talking about "the next orgy" and numbers of human sacrifices, showing he's ultimately a hedonistic blowhard. | |

Holding on to love despite feeling shitty is better than walling your heart and feeling empty inside. Finding the strength to find a Second Love, despite the pain of losing the first, form the crux of the film's emotional arc and is reflected via almost every major character (Besides the obvious of Thor and Jane sharing the screen again, there's Gorr's Roaring Rampage of Revenge over his lost daughter, and even Valkyrie, still traumatized by being the Last of Her Kind and seeing her beloved slain in battle, finding someone to flirt with). | |

Broken Pedestal | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_868409c | comment |
Broken Pedestal: This trope plays a big role in Gorr's origin: In the beginning of the movie a desperate and suffering Gorr meets his god shortly after his daughter died. He expected help and a reward for his worship, but instead gets mocked by his god as the latter sees mortals as pieces of crap who only exist to worship gods. This leads to Gorr killing him and vowing to kill all gods. The Guardians of the Galaxy practically worshipped Thor when they met in Infinity War due to finding him awesome, attractive, and a charismatic leader to follow, putting down their leader Peter Quill in the process; upon the team's reunion by the end of Endgame, they were eagerly encouraging a fight for leadership in which they were hoping Peter would lose to Thor, even though he'd lost his figure and some of his fighting prowess. However, enduring a sustained amount of time with Thor's ever-inflated ego and show-boating that puts Quill to shame has worn out their welcome for him. While they're still friends, it's clear they only tolerate him outside the battlefield at best, and only Peter is shown taking the time to have heart-to-hearts with him as the captain and leader. When Thor parts ways with them, they barely share a word besides Peter. Thor mentions that Zeus was a huge inspiration for his own powers and godhood and is severely disappointed when Zeus refuses to do anything and instead engages in mockery, self-aggrandizement, and self-indulgence. | |

Self-Serving Memory: Thor's recollection of his break-up with Jane is that she wrote him a letter to end the relationship; Jane insists that Thor's recollection is wrong and he's the one who left (the letter-writing was because he wasn't present), but it's based on the technicality that they lived together in Jane's apartment. | |

Gorr's daughter Love follows this as well as Rule of Symbolism. When Love dies, Gorr loses his love for the gods, and her coming back teaches him how to love again. Love also influences Thor, helping him become more compassionate. | |

The Bus Came Back | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_927b2f11 | comment |
The Bus Came Back: After being absent from the MCU franchise since Thor: The Dark World (not counting a cameo in Avengers: Endgame made using repurposed deleted footage from Dark World), this film sees Jane Foster's return. Lady Sif returns in the flesh, having last been seen in person in the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and once in a simulation in Loki. Darcy Lewis and Erik Selvig are back in the Thor franchise after being absent from the last entry of the series. This also marks Selvig's formal return to the MCU for the first time since Avengers: Age of Ultron, while Darcy took much less time to return in absolute terms, being present in WandaVision. After being absent from the team in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgamenote Sean Gunn did film scenes featuring Kraglin for the Battle of Earth, but they were cut from the final film., Kraglin is first seen being a part of the Guardians Of The Galaxy since he joined them in the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. | |

Big Bad: Gorr the God Butcher is an alien being who despises all gods for their hubris and apathy towards mortals due to his family's death, and seeks to butcher the lot of them using his pitch-black, deity-slaying blade, the Necrosword. To this end, he captures Asgardian children to force Thor to give up his axe so it can let him reach the godlike Eternity, a being who he can convince to do the task. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Gorr draws parallels between himself and the trio of Thor, Jane, and Valkyrie: like Thor, he couldn't save those dearest to him, like Jane, Gorr is dying from the very thing giving him his power, and like Valkyrie, he lost everything he loved in service to gods who couldn't or wouldn't do anything to help him. Thor turns it back on Gorr in the finale; recognising that, like his experience with Thanos, Gorr's vengeance against the gods isn't bringing him anything but misery, empathises with him, saying that what Gorr truly wants is love, which convinces Gorr to ask Eternity to resurrect his daughter rather than destroying all the gods. | |

Eldritch Location: The Shadow Realm is described by Thor as a place so dark that color itself refuses to go there. This is shown to be true when the team's color fades away on their arrival. The place they battle Gorr is a barren Baby Planet with a single sun, that moves uncannily across the sky seemingly at his will, shifting the shadows wherever he pleases to better conjure more monsters or teleport himself. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When first bringing up Omnipotence City, Thor mentions Hercules as one of its famous residents, who shows up in The Stinger. It is shown during Thor and Jane's relationship montage that he wishes to be a father, and looks longingly at a baby with its parents. At the end he adopts Gorr's daughter. Korg lampshades it, saying that he went from "sad god to dad god". Jane ruins the pages of her own book to make sure her co-patient understands wormholes, foreshadowing her willingness to ruin her body and health in order to help others, ultimately sacrificing her life to save Thor and rescue the New Asgardian children. Gorr grabs at Stormbreaker while fighting Thor in New Asgard. The axe is the crux of his master plan, to use the Bifrost to reach Eternity and use the omnipotent entity to destroy all gods in one fell swoop. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: When Thor is working out, he wears a baseball cap with "Strongest Avenger" on it, with "Strongest" being scribbled onto the hat in felt marker. In the montage depicting Thor's time with the Guardians, Peter Quill is shown drinking with him and quickly consoling him when he breaks down crying. In Infinity War, Rocket mused it was "time to be the captain" when he went to check on Thor's well-being during their trip to Nidavelir, evidently inspired by Quill doing the same for his crew. Kraglin is shown wearing the same fin he was practicing using in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 during the film's opening. Thor's "snake" handshake with Star-Lord, which ends with him miming stabbing Quill, recalls his story from Thor: Ragnarok (about the young Loki turning into a snake, waiting for Thor to pick him up, then transforming back and stabbing Thor). When we see Ninny of the Nonny, god of the Kronans, he's sitting on a throne made of scissors, referencing Korg's rock-paper-scissors joke from Ragnarok. Valkyrie offers Jane a grape in a way that makes it clear this is still the closest thing to candy they've got. A pair of Celestials are shown on Omnipotence City watching the spectacle through a window, getting out of the way of the Goat Boat and turning to watch it fly past. When Thor says goodbye to Jane in New Asgard's infirmary, he kisses her hand just like he did when he said goodbye to her in Thor. When Thor goes off to fight Gorr on his own, Valkyrie tells him "don't die", just like she did in Thor: Ragnarok right before he went off to confront Hela on his own. During the final battle, Thor once again finds himself pinned down with his enemy's blade dangerously close to his chest, only for a Mjölnir-wielding ally to intervene. | |

Artistic License – Religion | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License – Religion: In common with virtually every other work featuring him, Zeus' son is referred to as Hercules. Zeus was a Greek god whilst Hercules was a Roman god, and the two names were not used interchangeably. He should have been referred to as "Heracles". Justified, in the Marvel comics that character changed his name from Heracles to Hercules to distance himself from his despised step-mother Hera. Dying of sickness is a one-way ticket to Hel, so Jane’s cancer should condemn her. Regardless how many battles you fought, if you don't go out on the field, you’re screwed. Oddly, Thor even points this out to Sif earlier, noting that her losing her arm isn't enough to get to Valhalla. However, the difference between them is that while Sif was gravely wounded in battle, she had enough strength to keep living if she got help while the effort Jane expended left her too weak to survive, so that may have been enough of a distinction. | |

Mood Whiplash: The trailer at first is a lighthearted and colorful romp with upbeat music that shows what Thor's been up to since Endgame and how he reacts to Jane now having Mjölnir. Then the music turns ominous, we cut to a ruin in the abyss of space, and Gorr starts monologuing. Then the upbeat music from before returns, and now we have the heroes fighting against Gorr, but the montage is for the most part as lighthearted as it was before. The film also has many serious or sad scenes undercut by a sudden joke. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Minor example. The tattoos on Thor's back include a list of friends and loved ones he's lost since The Dark World. Loki's name is naturally among those listed... but unlike the others, Loki's name includes a question mark after it. Even half a decade after Thanos snapped Loki's neck, Thor still isn't certain whether or not his brother's truly dead (almost certainly out of both grief and Loki's past successes at Faking the Dead). The irony, of course, is only the audience is privy to the confirmation from Loki: The Sacred Timeline Loki is dead and gone (though the God of Mischief is still alive in a sense thanks to the temporal variant the Avengers indirectly created during the Time Heist). | |

Bully Hunter | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_ac12cde1 | comment |
Bully Hunter: What Frigga attempted to teach Thor to be by taking him into battle in infancy to protect the innocent... By the ending of Love and Thunder he honors his mother's memory by passing this philosophy onto his niece Love, adopted from a dying Gorr, by taking her on a Bifrost-assisted crusade across the galaxy to defend the helpless whenever and wherever the duo are needed. | |

Near-Villain Victory | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_ac6ea68c | comment |
Near-Villain Victory: Gorr is a complex play on the trope, since his strategy of tricking Thor into giving him Stormbreaker so he can access Eternity succeeds completely... but with the Necrosword destroyed in the final fight, Gorr is freed from his curse and changes the wish he was going to make. You might say that Gorr won, and the God-Butcher lost. | |

The Missus and the Ex: Given a twist in that the missus is Stormbreaker, a massive battle-axe, while the ex is Mjölnir, a war hammer. Stormbreaker is clearly jealous that Thor keeps trying to get back with Mjölnir and even throws a couple of tantrums, forcing Thor to try and comfort his weapon as if it were a jealous lover. In fact, it's implied that part of Thor's trouble with trying to close the Bifrost in the climax is because Stormbreaker is refusing to cooperate out of spite. | |

What You Are in the Dark: In the climax, Gorr reaches Eternity and is prepared to wish for oblivion upon all gods. With mere moments left to live, Thor chooses not to go down swinging in a futile final battle with Gorr, but to spend his final moments comforting Jane as she dies. Ironically, it's this compassion and nobility that helps Gorr realize he was wrong about Thor. | |

Retcon: A tentative example: Korg mentions how he has two fathers via Bizarre Alien Reproduction, even though Ragnarok had him mention that he has a mother (and her new boyfriend, who he hates). However, given the extremely limited details we are given about Kronan culture, biology, and family structure, combined with the Played for Laughs nature of the Korg's rambling stories throughout the series, it's entirely possibly that he has several parents. | |

Perspective Reversal: The Guardians of the Galaxy practically worshipped Thor when they met in Infinity War due to finding him an awesome, attractive, and a charismatic hero to follow, while their leader Peter Quill disliked Thor out of jealousy of his coolness and the respect he received from his team. However by the time of this film, Thor's ever-inflated ego and show-boating has caused most of the Guardians to grow tired of him, while Peter has come to respect Thor for his prowess on the battlefield and contributions to the team. When Thor parts ways with them, Peter is the only one to give a proper farewell. | |

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: As per the Norse myths, Thor mentioned that every time an Asgardian dies in battle, their spirits will ascend to Valhalla, the Asgardian afterlife. This is where Jane Foster ends up in the second Stinger after she passed away from her cancer. Due to taking up the power of Thor and joining the final battle despite the strain it caused to her own health, Jane died in battle as an Asgardian, and thus her spirit was permitted entrance to Valhalla, where she is greeted by none other than Heimdall. | |

Irony: Gorr's vendetta comes about because his gods turn an apathetic ear to his pleading and then mocking him for his suffering causing him to determine that all gods are unworthy of devotion and should be exterminated. Yet his ultimate plan involves him basically appealing to a higher power to grant him his desires. | |

Like in the comics, Jane Foster gets the powers of the Mighty Thor via Mjölnir after being a normal astrophysicist in her previous appearances in the franchise. In the climactic fight against Gorr, Thor empowers the children of Asgard with (for a limited time only) the Power of Thor. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: However the gods of Gorr's world managed to kill the previous wielder of the Necrosword. Downplayed in that it's firmly established the wielder of the Necrosword will inevitably die, leaving it ambiguous how much actual effort they needed to put in, if they even needed to put in any at all. Most of Gorr's deicidal rampage is left to the imagination; in particular, the audience only sees the aftermath of him slaying Falligar the Behemoth and maiming Lady Sif. | |

Cringe Comedy | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_c5ef2d50 | comment |
Cringe Comedy: Thor has just defeated the leader of the owl-headed invaders hiding in the delicate crystal temple of a city of devoutly religious aliens... by crashing full speed into said delicate crystal temple, which crumbles to the ground like a pile of broken glass just as he takes the bow for "saving the day". And, as a backhanded "reward" for his clumsy "heroics", the understandably unamused aliens "gift" the Guardians of the Galaxy with a pair of giant, uncontrollable goats who would kick and scream all day long. The fact that Thor doesn't take a hint and stop trying to apologize for wrecking the temple (which the high-priest mutters through gritted teeth is "a very painful memory") only rubs more salt in the wounds. New Asgard becoming a tourist site with golf-courses and Infinity-Gauntlet-themed ice-cream stands being built in their suburbs. Zeus making Thor as naked as a newborn babe with a flick is already embarrassing enough (and hot enough to make Goddesses and Gods in the audience faint with admiration), made even more groan-worthy by the "RIP Loki" tattoos (complete with Roses and Broken Hearts) plastered across his hunky back. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Thor does a full split to stop a pair of charging vehicles in tribute to Jean-Claude Van Damme's signature "Epic Splits". The constant screams that Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder make are an obvious reference to the "screaming goats" meme that was popular in the early-mid 2010s. When they're first introduced, one of them even outright makes the most iconic of these screams. When Jane is demonstrating the concept of Einstein-Rosen bridges to a fan of her book, she mentions Event Horizon and Interstellar, then proceeds to use the same visual aid that those movies did (i.e. putting two dots on a piece of paper, folding it, and poking a pen through both dots to represent the way E-R bridges fold space to enable FTL travel.) She also tells him to watch both movies. Valkyrie is wearing a The Phantom of the Opera shirt during and after the attack on New Asgard. The film revels in its Guns N' Roses influences. Aside from the soundtrack, which is stuffed with GnR tracks, Heimdall's son Astrid only answers to the name "Axl", and another child has a very prominent poster of the band in their room. For whatever reason, there is a neon sign identical to the one in Cocktail on the Asgardian ship. The impact of Thor's ship against a small planet in the Shadow Realm, along with its whole black-and-white aesthetic, is evocative of an iconic scene from Georges Méliès's A Trip to the Moon. Ninny, the god of Korg's people, is shown sitting on a throne made of scissors in a reference to both the Iron Throne from A Song of Ice and Fire and the game Rock–Paper–Scissors. One of the Gods that appears in Omnipotence City is Bao. Korg becomes involved with a rock person called Dwayne. For their disguises on Omnipotence City, Valkyrie and Jane steal cloaks from "emotion gods". Korg's cloak has a red bottom half, Valkyrie's a yellow bottom half, Jane's a green top half, and Thor's a blue bottom half. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: Hela's helmet and the weapons it conjures were referred to as the Necrosword in the artbook for Thor: Ragnarok and What If...?, but its relation to Gorr's Necrosword — if any — is never addressed or even alluded to. When in the Shadow Realm with Thor and Valkyrie, Jane notices some ancient drawings on the wall depicting Stormbreaker being used to open the Gates of Eternity, indicating the weapon is ancient and has been used for such things in the past. This is despite the fact that Stormbreaker was only forged in 2018 thanks to Eitri and Groot's efforts, meaning it's nowhere near old enough to have been used for such a purpose, especially since before Endgame, Thor had only been using Stormbreaker as a glorified can opener. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Jane openly states to Thor that she felt Mjölnir calling out to her, which is also clear to the viewer when she visits its monument in New Asgard. What remains ambiguous, however, is whether she was initially inspired to go there and seek it out because of particularly relevant passages about the hammer in her Norse Mythology books (which she looked up because of the "Space Viking" approach Darcy suggested earlier), or if Mjölnir itself subtly influenced her to look into those books in the first place. | |

Spiritual Antithesis | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_ce2969d8 | comment |
Spiritual Antithesis: Continuing the MCU's streak of deliberate contrast, this movie is one for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: In general, Multiverse of Madness is a (light) horror movie with the theme of letting go, while this movie is a light-hearted adventure with the theme of holding on to love. The main plots both involve grieving parents driven to madness by a dark artifact and the loss of their children coming into conflict with the heroes. However, Wanda-616 was obsessed with getting her children back and ultimately must let them go because they don’t exist anymore in her universe, which prompted her Heel–Face Turn. Meanwhile, Gorr was so blinded by vengeance that he didn't think about getting his daughter back at all until the very end where he makes a wish for her resurrection. Meta-wise, Love and Thunder gives Gorr a lot of sympathetic moments while Multiverse of Madness focuses on the many nasty consequences of Wanda's actions which make Gorr a more sympathetic villain. The heroes's personal arcs both involved their exes, but whereas Strange learns to let Christine go, Thor learns to hold Jane forever in his heart. Bonus points for both taking a super-powered child under their wings. Both films have a campy sense of humor and presentation, but come from completely opposite ends. Multiverse of Madness's humor is mostly Black Comedy mixed with likely deliberate campy horror elements from director Sam Raimi, while this movie’s comedy is a lighthearted rom-com style of humor. | |

Warrior Heaven | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_cf314438 | comment |
Warrior Heaven: Fittingly for a movie about gods, there is much talk about whether they offer an eternal reward upon death. Gorr initially believed he and his daughter would live forever after death due to their faithful worship of his god, but a chance encounter proved his god was a deceiver. This contrasts with the Asgardians like Thor, Sif, and some actors, who casually make references to enjoying Valhalla after their deaths. In the end, we see that Valhalla is real and heroes like Jane and Heimdall can exist in peace there. | |

Deadly Upgrade: Jane begins wielding Mjölnir in the hope that the Asgardian magic it contains will act as a miracle cure for her cancer. It ultimately has the opposite effect as it's a magical Asgardian weapon which is more powerful than a normal human can handle, slowly sapping the strength from her already weakened body and leaving her even more susceptible to the cancer. | |

Character Catchphrase: Discussed: When Thor tells Jane and Valkyrie that Gorr hides in the Shadow Realm, Jane replies: "Then let's bring in the rainbow!" Thor then asks Valkyrie whether this is Jane's catchphrase. In Omnipotence City, Jane tells Thor several catchphrases she came up with, among others "Eat my hammer." Thor tells her that his catchphrase is "This ends here and now." Before Jane dies, she whispers another catchphrase she came up with into Thor's ear. We don't hear what it is, but Thor tells her that it's the best one yet. | |

Abdicate the Throne: Played with. Though Valkyrie is the official successor to the Throne of Asgard and is a far more competent a politician, diplomat and businessman than the depressed Thor was during the five-year timeskip, the respect for The House of Odin's legacy still carries considerable weight even four years after Endgame. Notably, it is a single word of firm but reassuring comfort from Thor, not Valkyrie, that instantly calms down a panicking town hall of Asgardians desperate to rescue their kidnapped children from Gorr the God Butcher. Valkyrie for her part, political competence and business acumen notwithstanding, is visibly bored living a life of peaceful administration, and only regains her spark when back in the heat of battle. | |

Interestingly two of their bosses, the Celestials, appear amongst the gods on Omnipotence City. Although this is in keeping with the comics in which the Greek pantheon and the Eternals co-exist but some ancient people mistook the two, such as Gilgamesh taking credit for some things Hercules did. | |

Speculative Fiction LGBT: More so than any other Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Valkyrie is confirmed onscreen to have had a female lover and implied to also be attracted to a naked Thor. Zeus is Ambiguously Bi and loves hosting orgies amongst the other gods. | |

Hate Sink: Rapu, Gorr's own god, is clearly meant to be despised for his scant screentime; confronted with the last of his worshipers, Rapu only complains that Gorr is eating some of his fruit (of which the god has plenty), and he cruelly dismisses the loss of all of his devotees, as well as mocking Gorr for believing in a life after death and for his losses. When Gorr renounces him, Rapu quickly resorts to trying to strangle him, and, although the entire scene is Gorr's Start of Darkness, it's meant to be very satisfying when Gorr beheads the jerkass god with the Necrosword. | |

Talking the Monster to Death: How Thor ultimately defeats Gorr, though the villain was already dying to begin with. As they're both near Eternity, Thor could've easily ended Gorr right there and then to prevent his and the other gods' deaths since he's vulnerable and no longer has the Necrosword. Instead, Thor tells him what he really needs is love and wants his daughter back more than the extinction of the gods. | |

Aimlessly Seeking Happiness: Thor's been adrift ever since Endgame, with no real connections or motivation to drive him forward. He's been trying to find inner peace, but the best he's managed is getting back in shape and going on a few adventures to distract himself. The film opens with him meditating in an attempt to find peace, which fails as well. Adopting Love at the end of the film allows him to finally find happiness as a father. | |

All three are quickly immobilized and restrained in the tendrils, noticeably with large ones clamped over their mouths. Gorr also uses ones wrapped around Jane's neck to slowly strangle her in order to force Thor to summon Stormbreaker so he can steal it. | |

Have You Seen My God? | |
| Thor: Love and Thunder / int_eece5183 | comment |
Have You Seen My God?: The driving force of Gorr's angst: when he and his daughter were the only ones of his faith left behind, they were forced to survive in the elements until she dies. This trope further gets twisted on when he realizes his god has not only abandoned his people, but seems perfectly satisfied in indulging himself at the expense of everyone else. After the Necrosword has chosen him to become the God-Butcher, it becomes Gorr's additional modus to impart his subsequent Nay-Theist beliefs to everyone he meets. The antipathy of Zeus and Omnipotence City, unsurprisingly, helps give greater weight to his beliefs. However, this really only lasts until he goes directly against Thor, realizing he's still the kind of god who believes in doing good even when everyone else does not. | |

The goats that are gifted to Thor scream in every scene that they're in. Stormbreaker getting jealous and cranky every time Thor has eyes for Mjölnir or tries to use the Bifrost. Stops getting played for laughs in the climax when Stormbreaker's pettiness backfires and allows Gorr to achieve his objective of reaching Eternity. | |

Brick Joke: While getting back into shape, Thor is wearing a trucker hat that says "Strongest Avenger" on it, something Thor had been insisting multiple times was him rather than Hulk since Thor: Ragnarok. Darcy brings candy and snacks for Jane at the start of the movie. Closer to the end, Thor brings more to her after she's bedridden and Thor reacts poorly (smashing the vending machine) to the doctor's news. Sif references wanting to die in battle and be admitted to Valhala. This happens to Jane, who succumbs to cancer after using Mjölnir to destroy the Necrosword for good. | |
