Thor: Love and Thunder ending, explained

The most surprising thing about Thor: Love and ThunderThis is what makes it seem so self-contained. There’s always a chance that a later MCU film might suddenly make this stand-alone cosmic romp balloon in significance, the way 2013’s Thor: The Dark World Years later, the meaning of this phrase took on a greater significance. Avengers: Endgame premiered. However, For the most part, Love and ThunderThis is a fun road trip in a Goat Boat.

The end of Thor: Love and ThunderWe still have Some questions. What chance could mortals even have at understanding the inner workings of gods?

Is Mjolnir or Stormbreaker still alive?

While the idea that Thor’s current weapon and his former one are sapient (and that Stormbreaker is a weirdly jealous creeper) It seemsAs if it were a joke. Love and Thunder, Thor’s hammer Mjolnir actually Does have a comics history of awareness! Long story short, Mjolnir isn’t just magic metal and godly enchantment, it’s implied that it contains the god Tempest, Mother of All Storms. It doesn’t really communicate, but it doesJane prefers Thor to Jane, illustrated in the Jason Aaron/Russell Dauterman Thor comics. This is what influenced a lot. Love and Thunder.

Stormbreaker’s jealousy over Mjolnir Is more of a movie-original gag than an extension of this comics lore, but it is an enchanted axe with a handle fashioned from one of Groot’s arms, so the idea that’s it’s similarly alive, or at least aware, is not that far-fetched.

You are correct, Hercules was also an iconic comics character.

Yes! This is an important decision for Marvel. In Greg Pak’s Marvel Comics circa the mid-2000s and onward, the character became more closely associated with the Hulk — Pak’s The Incredible HulkIt was briefly called Incredible HerculesAfter the events of September 11, Hulk was temporarily out of action. World War Hulk story. (It’s a long one.) What was the original? Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and others. Hercules, a competitor to Thor, was first introduced. It’s a great one!

Here’s the way Love and Thunder appears to be going when it introduces Hercules in a post-credits scene, and given that he’s played by Ted Lasso It will be almost certain to be an enjoyable time for Brett Goldstein.

Jane Foster actually dead?

Yes! She’s in Valhalla!

Marvel is a Valhalla.

As it (had) an Asgard. Valhalla can be reached, as with most other mythical realms of Marvel Universe. However, it is not easy to reach.

Can Jane return to the MCU for future movies?

It’s clear that she was able to return from her death in comics. Jane is the new Valkyrie. This character is more like the mythological Norse warrior guides who guide them to the afterlife. (Most Marvel stories depicted Valkyrie much like Tessa Thompson’s character — one of a cabal of lady-warriors absolutely devoted to wrecking house.)

Granted, making movies is tricky business, and there’s no guarantee that the stars will align to bring Natalie Portman back in the future if she’d prefer to take another extended hiatus from the MCU. Consider Valhalla an enjoyable vacation for Jane but it could be over at any moment.

Who is Eternity, you ask?

Look, it’s best to just stick with what the movie tells you. To Love and Thunder, he’s basically a wishing well. Let’s leave it at that.

You can do it!

OK, fine. Eternity is the abstract embodiment of the universe — every universe manifests as a being known as Eternity, and Eternity is the greatest being in that universe. You can glimpse the statue of Eternity, the Living Tribunal above (you will also see the Three-Faced Tribunal in the foreground). Love and Thunder(Trailer) ThisDude is the person who maintains order across the universe. Both of these guys are kind of a storyteller’s alarm system: If they show up, it’s a Marvel story’s way of telling you things are getting SeriousIt could change, but it is possible to make a good story out of this.

He also looks absolutely freaking awesome Sick.

Is Gorr’s child really named Love? What’s her deal?

Can’t really help you there! Her creation is her alone. Love and ThunderEternity grants you superpowers. There’s no telling what that means, but the sky’s the limit! Perhaps the multiverse might be. Every now and again, it would be nice to have clear powers.
