Thor: Love and Thunder theory totally changes how you watch MCU ... (digitalspy.com)

A new fan theory about Thor: Love and Thunder about Korg's narration could totally change how you watch the MCU movie, now out on Disney+.

However, it does certainly add a fun meta level to the narrative as Korg is voiced by Taika Waititi, the co-writer and director of the movie. It's not too different to 'the birds and the bees' talk that we've all been subjected to a variation of in our lives. As the theory argues, if you were telling a story to a group of children, it's exactly the kind of twist you'd put on a battle that maybe just involved Thor and Mighty Thor battling Gorr. He thinks the reason Stormbreaker isn't cooperating to teleport to Omnipotent City is because Stormbreaker is jealous that Mjolnir is back. "This is why they construct the goat boat to travel to Omnipotent City and the Shadow Realm... It's a very funny recurring gag in the movie, but maybe it comes as a result of Korg not understanding how Stormbreaker works. Following a chilling cold open focused on Gorr, the movie opens with Korg telling the story of Thor to a group of children. "Stormbreaker uses the Bifrost. Yggdrasil is a system of portals connecting 9 planets in 9 different galaxies (aka realms). The theory argues that the result of these bookends is that everything we see in the movie is Korg's version of events, embellished as a result of entertaining the children and just for the sake of it. Korg pops up throughout to narrate the story and the movie returns to Korg's story time with the children at the end. [Thor: Love and Thunder](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a40496050/thor-love-and-thunder-review/) split opinion when it arrived in cinemas earlier this summer and you might not fancy a rewatch on [Disney+](https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=127X991730&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fen-gb%2Fhome&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalspy.com%2Fmovies%2Fa41091010%2Fthor-love-and-thunder-theory-korg-narrator%2F%3Futm_campaign%3Dfilmtwitterpost%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter), but a new theory might give you a reason to take a second look at the [MCU](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a825774/marvel-cinematic-universe-in-chronological-order/) movie.

Thor: Love And Thunder Updates Infamous Floating Head CGI, Fans ... (TheGamer)

Axl's floating head has been tweaked for the Disney Plus version of Thor: Love And Thunder, but Marvel fans still don't like it.

It seems [Marvel](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/marvel/) has been listening, as one of the scenes which got criticized most in Thor 4 has been tweaked for Disney Plus. Axl's head now looks a lot sharper in the scene, but as you can see in the tweet above, along with its replies, many people don't appear to think that necessarily makes it better. There are a select few fans who have tried to defend the poor effects. That communication manifested on screen via Axl's floating head and to put it mildly, it did not look good. Axl and a few other Asgardian children are held captive by Gorr the God Butcher, but Axl manages to communicate with Thor from afar using his inherited powers. One of the ongoing arguments surrounding it and the [MCU](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/mcu/) as a whole comes down to CGI and special effects.

'Thor: Love and Thunder' Character Eternity, Explained (Distractify)

The second act of 'Thor: Love and Thunder' relies on Gorr's determination to get to Eternity, a being in the Marvel Universe. Is Eternity a Celestial?

However, Eternity subsists on everything that exists within the universe, and the universe exists because of Eternity. In fact, Celestials are part of Eternity, as is the entire Marvel universe. In the Marvel comic books, Eternity is even more powerful than he appears to be in the MCU. Together, these four cosmic beings make up the four corners of the Marvel universe. The lore of the universe is that Gorr can make a wish, and Eternity must grant it. And to many casual at-home [MCU](https://www.distractify.com/t/marvel) fans, the character [Eternity](https://www.distractify.com/p/is-jane-really-dead-in-thor-love-and-thunder) inspires some questions. Eternity grants this wish, Gorr dies at the hands of the Necrosword’s dark magic, and Eternity becomes a major figure in Thor: Love and Thunder, and while some of us may know the word, “eternity,” to just mean “all time,” Eternity also happens to be a very powerful Marvel entity. [Disney Plus](https://www.distractify.com/t/disney-plus) day! Gorr’s motives come from the death of his daughter because of the carelessness of his god, and so he believes that the power gods have over humans is unjust. Luckily for the gods, Thor goes along with Gorr, and they meet a silhouette of stars: Eternity. It’s the biggest day of the year!

Other strong themes took its place, like family ties and wrestling with the sins of your forefathers. You don’t have to watch much of Thor: Love and Thunder to get Gorr’s basic deal: The guy thinks all gods should die, and he’s got a plan to make that happen. I mean, yeah, it’s a story about Thor’s evolution as a person, but it’s also got a “godbomb” that will reach across time to kill every god who ever lived at every moment of their lives simultaneously — and tons and tons of Ribić’s gorgeous art. That worthiness isn’t something you are, but something you work to do every day, and is closely tied to an acceptance of mortality, whether your own or that of your loved ones.

A mid-credits moment introduces a new MCU hero, while a post-credits encounter reunites us with a lost Asgardian friend. The movie hit Disney Plus on ...

In the comics and [Norse mythology](https://www.lifeinnorway.net/valkyries/), the Valkyries guide those who fall in battle in Valhalla, so their MCU counterparts may have gone on to serve a similar purpose -- Jane could ultimately join their ranks. That suggests the regular version of the character remained in isolation, so he may not have made it to Valhalla after all. Since the OG Loki was killed in battle, he should've been rewarded with a blissful eternity in Valhalla. [Thor: Love and Thunder](/culture/entertainment/thor-love-and-thunder-review-taika-waititi-marvel-return-is-a-disappointing-encore/) landed in theaters [in July](/culture/entertainment/new-movies-coming-out-in-2022-netflix-marvel-dc/) and came to [Disney Plus](https://disneyplus.bn5x.net/c/159047/564546/9358?&sharedId=cnet&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2F&subId1=cn-___COM_CLICK_ID___-dtp___OPTOUT___) and digital stores [on Thursday](/tech/services-and-software/thor-on-disney-plus-streaming-release-date-time-and-what-else-to-know/). After that, he lived in solitude on a remote planet "for a long, long time." He also reunites with former flame Jane Foster ( [Natalie Portman](/culture/entertainment/thor-4-to-star-natalie-portman-as-lady-thor-is-titled-thor-love-and-thunder-comic-con-2019/)), who's been empowered by his old hammer Mjolnir and become the Mighty Thor, as they face the creepy threat of Gorr the God Butcher ( [Christian Bale](/culture/entertainment/thor-love-and-thunder-new-trailer-with-christian-bale-villain-gorr/)). [Norse mythology](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Valhalla-Norse-mythology), was mentioned earlier in the movie. "You are very welcome here in the land of the gods," he says warmly. However, MCU post-credits scenes typically serve to set up future plotlines and Jane's comic counterpart became a Valkyrie after her time as Mighty Thor concluded. The heroic duo succeeded in convincing Gorr to abandon his genocidal campaign, but she lost her battle with the disease shortly afterward. Since the movies and shows regularly riff on classic comic stories, it's possible Hercules will team up with Kang in his quest to take down Thor. He's shown up regularly in the decades since his debut, occasionally starring in his own series.

Disney+ Just Changed Thor: Love and Thunder's Questionable CGI (The Direct)

Now, as the Chris Hemsworth-led movie enjoys its Disney+ premiere, one Marvel fan uncovered the fact that the studio did a key change to alter its CGI.

Watch: 1 Thor: Love and Thunder Deleted Scene Has Marvel Fans ... (The Direct)

Marvel fans shared their disappointed thoughts on a deleted scene from Thor: Love and Thunder.

And this scene in particular brings a moment that would have actually added another layer of depth to the MCU's most controversial movie of Phase 4, especially considering its already shortened runtime. "This scene clearly explains how Thor gave the Asgardian kids powers from the Thundebolt. Power is everywhere, you just have to harness it, or you point…power comes from the heart." In this scene, Zeus actually comes to Earth and gives Thor some meaningful insight about his iconic weapon, the Thunderbolt. This would have changed the scene prior when Hemsworth's Thor threw Zeus' lightning bolt straight through his chest and injured him before he escaped with Jane, Valkyrie, and Korg. This gives viewers the opportunity to revisit the movie that earned widely mixed reviews while also enjoying deleted material that didn't make the final theatrical cut.

Thor Love And Thunder: 12 Things We Learned From The Audio ... (GameSpot)

The audio commentary for the latest Thor movie from Taika Waititi reveals a few things about the Marvel movie.

However, if you look closely, the entire movie's plot is here--which includes a lot of things Meek and friends never saw. She went into her room and drew the first shadow monster called "Octy," a snake-like creature, which you can see in the movie. Waititi explains that some deleted scenes are included in the board too. He said that TVs are too advanced, and it's ruining pictures. Some of those ideas are great--Jane, the humor, the visuals--while others are lackluster and meaningless." The one you see above is based on Toecutter (played by Hugh Keays-Byrne in Mad Max). One thing you may not have realized about the movie is that many of the people who worked on the movie had their kids in the film or designing some of the memorable elements. And for the rest of the creatures, children drew the monsters. However, if you want to dive deeper into the movie, you'll want to have access to the special features, like the audio commentary from director Taikia Waititi--and his two children. That baby is Thor Love and Thunder producer Brian Chapek's baby. Taika's oldest daughter, Te Hinekahu--who was about seven at the time--saw part of the script with the words "Shadow demon." Miller is a huge influence on Waititi's work.

That might mean Hercules was a last-minute addition, though it's always possible he was originally going to be an ally instead of an enemy. Rather than stealing Zeus' Thunderbolt after clashing with him in Omnipotence City, Thor is greeted by the Olympian on Earth where he is given the mighty weapon instead.

'She-Hulk' Writer Defends 'Thor: Love and Thunder' From Criticism (We Got This Covered)

Comic book writer Dan Slott cannot understand the criticism that has been aimed at 'Thor: Love and Thunder.'

In comparison to what we have now, ’80s Thor looks as if someone wanted an easy Viking Halloween outfit, and let’s remember, there was no CGI to bring about lightning or have him really look like he was flying, let alone riding a goat-drawn boat across a rainbow bridge in space. Slott works as a writer for Marvel, and it was his work that turned She-Hulk into a “superhuman lawyer” back in 2004, which directly led to the newest Marvel/Disney show She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

Thor: Love and Thunder's Disney+ Debut Has Fans Criticizing VFX ... (MovieWeb)

Thor: Love and Thunder arrived on Disney+ with an unexpected change to one scene that failed to improve on some less than great CGI.

The film spent much of its time on setting up and delivering jokes, something that has become more apparent as deleted scenes from the film have started to be released. While fans were disappointed in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for not delivering more multiverse characters, Thor: Love and Thunder’s disappointment mostly stemmed from an overly-jokey, disjointed narrative that failed to quite land with viewers or critics. To highlight the point, Twitter user @comicxbook shared a side-by-side comparison of the two versions, which shows that the work that was put into altering the scene may have been just a waste of time.

Natalie Portman's Criticized CGI Helmet Explained by Thor: Love ... (The Direct)

Thor: Love and Thunder Producer Brad Winderbaum explained why Natalie Portman's Mighty Thor helmet was completely CGI.

[CGI can always look better](https://thedirect.com/article/thor-love-and-thunder-disney-cgi-change). With the limitations that VFX artists still have due to COVID-19 and the fact that they are constantly working extremely hard and trying to meet deadlines, it isn't going to be perfect, but they are going to do the best they can. And we adapted to the beautiful face of Natalie Portman, but we didn’t want to hide too much of her eyes and her features. "CGI on Jane Foster's Helmet in the Thor 4 trailer looks distractingly bad, why can't they just get Natalie Portman to wear the helmet. Most filmmakers and actors would probably sacrifice something like a helmet looking 100% real if it meant the actor's performance was better. Rubeo also talked about the ideas for the helmet, saying that it was inspired by "old comic books" so it could have a "vintage feeling" to it. She added that they "didn't want to hide too much of (Portman's) eyes and her features:" The film featured Chris Hemsworth returning as Thor to take on [Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher](https://thedirect.com/article/christian-bale-marvel-villain-voldemort-harry-potter), who was trying to enact his revenge on all of the gods after the death of his daughter.

At one point, Eternity stood behind a giant brick structure, almost similar to the pavilion seen earlier in the movie in New Asgard. But one visual that's actually been something of a hit was the look for Eternity, who made an impact during Thor and Gorr's climactic moment from a purely visual standpoint. It was still a pretty stunning look at this unique Marvel Comics character, although it changed fairly drastically from its massive original size. As for the size, the entity was only about 10-15 feet tall, not towering too much over Christian Bale as he kneeled in front of it, although Eternity is also sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Deleted Thor: Love & Thunder Scenes Spoil Zeus' MCU Phase 5 ... (Screen Rant)

The deleted scenes from Thor: Love and Thunder reveal a very different side of Zeus. Could Zeus actually be a hero and not a villain in Phase 5?

Combined with the deleted scenes revealing how Zeus was supposed to help Thor, Zeus could be the best candidate to lead the God Squad against the Skrulls in Secret Invasion, and possibly even against the even larger threat of Kang: The Conqueror. Hercules and Thor have a long and ultimately friendly rivalry in the comics, which actually fits very well within Thor's quirky corner of the MCU. In Marvel Comics' "Secret Invasion," even the combined divine pantheons of Earth had to take a stand and face the Skrull Empire's enslaved army of alien gods. This moment between Thor and Zeus even has the same warmth as the conversations that Thor and his father Odin have shared in the past. More importantly, it reveals that Zeus actually taught Thor how to summon Thunderbolt himself, making Zeus crucial to Thor Odinson and Mighty Thor's victory over Gorr the God Butcher.

Of course, the eccentric auteur clearly had a lot of say from a creative stand point, as to what he wanted his film to be, but the fact of the matter is the script wasn’t his baby. Portman does a serviceable job in her role but the way in which the character is written and her cringeworthy dialogue, is just annoying to say the least. So, when it was announced that Portman would show up as Mighty Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder, I knew it was Feige & co. Waititi seems to have conveniently chucked that portion of the character arc out of the window, that’s for sure. Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth), meanwhile has embarked on a personal quest of self-discovery, occasionally engaging in feats of badassery with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Now that I’ve watched Thor: Love and Thunder, however, my opinion has been swayed somewhat and certainly not for the better.

When writer Al Ewing added Herc to his lineup of [The Guardians of the Galaxy](https://www.denofgeek.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy/), he added a softer side to the character, as evidenced by his tender romance with hot-headed Kree warrior Noh-Varr.

He sends them a god in the form of a hero with his son, Hercules, played by [Ted Lasso](https://www.denofgeek.com/ted-lasso/)’s Brett Goldstein. Hercules is best known for his twelve labors, challenges that range from the fantastical (slaying a hydra and a terrible lion) to the mundane (cleaning a stable with 3000 cattle) to the not-so-comfortable (stealing the girdle of Hippolyta). Hercules really came into his own under writers Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, when the series [final post-credit scene of Thor: Love and Thunder](https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/thor-love-and-thunder-post-credits-scenes-explained/), a humiliated Zeus (Russell Crowe) plots his revenge against Thor and the other superheroes who take the worship due to gods.

Thor: Love and Thunder Originally Planned a Cameo by Jesus (Comicbook.com)

Marvel Studio has finally released Thor: Love and Thunder on the Disney+ streaming service and the film was fairly different than most projects that came ...

Waititi is returning to direct Love and Thunder, and even he says that this is the craziest film he's ever created. Thor: Love and Thunder was completely bonkers from start to finish and that's saying a lot for a film that follows the insanity of Thor: Ragnarok. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher's vengeance and stop him before it's too late." Love and Thunder features Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who gets cursed by the blade and goes on a mission to kill every single god in the universe. "If you wrote down all the elements of this film, it shouldn't make sense," the director added, "It's almost like it shouldn't be made. The cameo was probably vetoed due to potentially offending religious beliefs due to the comedic nature of the film.

Thor: Love And Thunder Could've Featured A Cameo From Jesus ... (/FILM)

In "Thor: Love and Thunder," Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Jane Foster aka the Mighty Thor (Natalie Portman), Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), and Korg (director Taika ...

As Jesus Christ is often referred to as a carpenter, it was clearly a reference to the son of the Christian god. They're visiting to ask Zeus (Russell Crowe), the king of the Greek gods (and master of ceremonies), for help in their fight against Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale). There would have been endless debates, yelling in all caps, boycotts, think pieces, and memes galore. There are the gods of emotion that our heroes disguise themselves as, a creature called Fur God, who is sort of a head on fuzzy feet. Just ponder the social media ramifications of that cameo! When you have Bao in there, which Waititi said he came up with while eating dumplings for lunch, it seems like anything could work.

This Religious Figure Almost Had A Surprising Cameo In Thor: Love ... (Looper)

Five years after the success of Taika Waititi's first Marvel Cinematic Universe project, "Thor: Ragnarok," the writer and director delivered its follow-up, ...

His career has produced spoofs of vampires ("What We Do in the Shadows"), pirates ("Our Flag Means Death"), and even Adolf Hitler ("Jojo Rabbit").

There's a god of dreams, a god of dumplings, and King Valkyrie points out a "god of carpentry" whom we never get a look at. But there's one surprisingly well-known deity who Waititi wanted to show, but who didn't make it into the film, which is probably for the best. ["Thor: Love and Thunder." The meeting quickly goes sideways, as Zeus zaps Thor's clothes away and then gets his lighting bolt stolen in the ensuing fight.

Thor Love and Thunder: Is Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher a ... (The Indian Express)

Post Credits Scene: Taika Waititi's Thor Love and Thunder was a disappointment of godlike proportions, featuring a villain that deserved a much better film.

A more challenging version of this film would have opened after the satirical pre-credits scene — the one in which Gorr comes face to face with the deity Rapu, and has his faith crushed before his eyes. A fun reading of this character — my reading of this character — suggests that he is the ultimate millennial icon. Whichever way you choose to cut it, Gorr is by far the most memorable character in an otherwise forgettable film. This would have allowed the audience to draw its own conclusions about Gorr’s backstory, and in a way, made us more active participants in his revenge quest. An Atlantic article from last year, titled A World Without Children, cited millennial idols such as [Miley Cyrus](https://indianexpress.com/about/miley-cyrus/) and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez as saying that they weren’t sure about bringing kids into the doomed world that they had inherited. As the generation that has endured a financial Flipping the frankly irritating MCU trope of making the antagonist an evil clone of the hero, Gorr in Love and Thunder is quite literally the antithesis of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. Generating empathy is always the first step in creating an engaging villain, and this is probably the biggest reason why Love and Thunder introduces its antagonist before reintroducing Thor. He’s the rare villain who feels like he’s trapped in a film undeserving of his presence. Which is why we were all willing to forgive the poor CGI at the end of Black Panther, a film whose excellent villain remained compelling even when he was turned into a big computer-generated blob in the final act. A fun way to judge a Marvel movie, now that they’ve been dissected in every manner imaginable, is through the villains.
