Thor: 10 Memes That Perfectly Sum Up The MCU Movies | Screen Rant

With the next Thor movie to hit theaters in late 2022 and a new trailer to discuss, fans are excited to revisit the slightly cynical but often jovial post-Endgame Asgardian. Based on trailers and cast news, there will be plenty of recurring characters in the franchise, including Jane Porter, Valkyrie, Korg, Lady Sif, and the Guardians of the Galaxy team!

In his fourth title film, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) goes against Christian Bale’s “Gorr the God Butcher”. Given the antagonist’s name, there’s sure to be mischief, bravado, near death, and fantastic action scenes in Thor: Love and Thunder! Before its release, fans should rewatch the previous films in its trilogy.

All his life, Thor knew he would inherit the throne; however, Loki always felt he lived in his older brother’s shadow. Always, he seemed so desperate to gain equality in his father’s eyes. But, time after time, Odin never gave him what he so craved.

Ironically, all of Loki’s pining for his father’s love is turned into loathing when he discovers he is not Asgardian blood. Sure, it’s a bit cruel to jest at the second son’s insecurities, but it’s not off-limits either.

Even though his heart is good, Thor’s reckless vanity is destructive. Honor defines Thor; when he is deemed no longer worthy to wield Mjölnir and is sent packing from Asgard, he embarks on a hero’s journey on Earth to learn humility and genuine respect for a king’s duties.

This meme exemplifies the young God’s spoiled, pompous, and boisterous nature before Odin banished him. Predictably, but enjoyably, the prodigal son returns home a hero with his crown and worthiness restored.

When he’s sent to Earth, Thor’s memories remain in Asgard. The one thing he knows for sure is that Thor craves his hammer. However, Odin strips his honor; he loses the ability to summon Mjölnir. Yet, Thor attempts to call for it. At first, to those who find him, Thor seems so worryingly crazy that even the hospital staff must sedate him.

A fan-favorite moment in every Thor film is when the titular character sticks out his palm and must stand there waiting as Mjölnir disrupts everything in its past to join its master. This meme reminds ordinary people that this pose belongs only to Thor.

It’s perfectly acceptable to love Thor: The Dark World; however, it isn’t a stand-out movie by Marvel’s standards among most fans. Thor didn’t escape reproval. Some fans felt that his character fell flat. Ironically, Loki shined in Thor 2

The primary critique against the sequel is the villain’s sappy backstory and weak motives. A clever Tumblr user quipped, “[The Dark Elf is] a strong independent villain who don’t need no deeper reasoning!” The movie’s acting, effects, and character development were the main redeeming factors in this underrated MCU movie. 

The henchmen in Dark World aren’t as formidable since fans liken them to the Teletubbies – oddly endearing vibrant creatures in a children’s show. It’s pretty humorous that fans believe the colorful astronaut-like species would look like the dark elves’ minions if they were evil.]

The lackeys look like a B-rated horror film’s army with creepy hockey masks. Although no fan would want to run into them in real life, it’s difficult to feel threatened when associating the dark elves with the clumsy little TV aliens.

As the God of Mischief, Loki is always ready to pull one over on unsuspecting victims, especially when it’s his brother. Even fans have learned to be skeptical of Loki’s tricks. 

One of Loki’s most used pranks is “dying” whenever he lands in physical danger. Unfortunately, too often, that occurs when Thor is in his vicinity. In Dark World, it was the villain who briefly fell for Loki’s antics! However, every time Loki dies, fans are wary of trusting his plight.

The bond between Thor and Loki has always been a little tenuous, but the brothers shared rambunctious traits in their youth. Thor: Ragnorak showed Thor’s goofier, more relaxed side missing in his previous movie.

Fans loved that the two used one of their childhood schemes to escape the Grandmaster’s guards. This moment was a favorite scene in Thor’s revival film. Despite his mighty powers and cool weapons, slinging Loki into his enemies like a bowling ball is unfailingly hilarious!

After the events of Ragnorak, fans learned that Odin wasn’t the fantastic father his favorite son believed him to be. Since Thor 3 exposed his marauding history with his firstborn Hela.

Upon his passing, Odin warned his sons that the power jailing his bloodthirsty daughter was quickly dying; they would have to settle the sins he started. Although he hardly would have won “Father of the Year,” Odin eventually became a very quotable and good king.   

Thor has gone toe-to-toe against many foes in his years, but even the God of Thunder isn’t immune to weakness – namely Loki’s “demise” ploys and, as one keen fan observed, glass barricades. 

In each of his title films, Thor slams into a windowpane. It’s humbling to know that even the lovable muscle man isn’t indestructible. That’s 4-1 Glass vs. Thor for those keeping score! Fans can only hope this funny trend continues in Thor Love and Thunder!

The Thor movies are like house hunting, some may think. Thor 1 was nice, but it’s merely an average home: a bit plain but sufficient; however, it leaves fans eager to continue looking. Thor 2, despite its debating feedback, is a hit or miss. That’s just how an eclectic exterior sometimes hits since people have different tastes in design. Sometimes there’s a stroke of luck, and the dream mansion finally appears! Thor 3 is nearly everything fans want in a fantastic film! Hopefully, Thor 4 will evoke a similar feeling to posting the “SOLD” sign on the front lawn!
