Thor: Marvel's MOST Misunderstood Superhero (Retrospective)

Thor Love & Thunder, the latest release in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has fans divided over whether or not the filmmakers properly handled Thor’s character. This is such a complicated issue because Thor is one of the most popular and powerful superheroes in the Marvel universe, but he’s also highly misunderstood. In this video we will be taking a look at what makes the god of thunder so unique, and exploring how Thor has evolved during his many years in the MCU.

Despite being one of the most popular characters in comics, Thor Odinson and his story arc is frequently misunderstood both by filmmakers and fans alike. While many consider Ragnarok to be when the god of thunder first was given depth, you’d be surprised just how much of current Thor’s character was set up from his very first film. In this retrospective video essay, we examine how he has grown throughout all of his films (Thor, Avengers, The Dark World, Age of Ultron, Ragnarok, Infinity War, Endgame, & Love and Thunder).

Apologies for the lack of footage when it comes to the latest film. I had to use mainly clips from the Love and Thunder trailer.
