MCU Wild Theory Suggests Prior Events

Written by August Tales

Love and Thunder: The Thor-n In Our Side

“Thor: Love and Thunder” hit the big screen carrying monumental expectations. Taika Waititi was back in the director’s chair – a victory strut after Ragnarok. Jane Foster was making her much-hyped return, and Christian Bale donned the menacing guise of Thor’s arch-nemesis, Gorr. It felt like the sweet spot for Marvel – but then, they swung and missed.

What was expected to be a majestic ascent turned into a catastrophic crash landing. The film was what rock ‘n’ roll critics might term as ” folk music – the unwanted cousin.” Its narrative mess butchered Jane’s comeback alongside Gorr’s debut, and Thor’s solo act, despite running four films deep, left no lasting scars. Now, whispers of a fifth Thor movie are floating in the realms. Suffice to say, Marvel’s got a mean drum to beat if they want to revive this saga.

Theories Assemble: Who’s the Next Thor?

Despite the debacle, speculation is rife, and theorizing is all the rage. One bold proposition posits that we might already have met the MCU’s next Thor – no, it’s not the hammertastic Jane Foster you were betting on.

Reddit user, Responsible_Quiet686, brought forth this theory in a discussion forum. It gives quite a spin to the Thor thematic universe:

“Could Love (Gorr’s resurrected daughter) be the MCU’s version of Tarene a.k.a. Thor Girl?” – u/Responsible_Quiet686

While the theory lacks concrete explanation, it sure hogs the limelight for its audacity. It takes a page out of the fourth movie and dusts off a secret card – “Love,” Gorr’s resurrected daughter, whom Thor delightedly adopts at the movie’s whirlwind end. The petite supervillain heir, played by Chris Hemsworth’s real-life daughter, India Hemsworth, roused fans’ speculation when Thor was spotted training her. Could this be a teaser for “Love” becoming our next Thor? Quite possible, if we dare to dream big.

Fan Reactions and Visionary Forecast

Fans chimed in on this intriguing theory with their perspectives. One pointed out, “They’re clearly setting up young Avengers. We have Kate Bishop, Yelena Belova, Ironheart, Skaar, Wiccan (upcoming), Isaiah Bradley’s grandson, Shuri/T’Challa II, and Love.” – fenderbloke

Another proposed, albeit dryly, to put the events of “Love and Thunder” in the rearview mirror. “Yeah, let’s do that,” sardonically suggests AtticusSwoopenheiser.

Discordant voices also sang tunes of expectation and hope, advocating for Love’s guerrilla elevation into Thorhood. Signal_Expression730 noted, “Maybe they can make her grown off-screen and be more adult.” And TelephoneCertain5344 encapsulated this sentiment concisely, stating, “Love could certainly be on the Young Avengers.”

Like Thor’s mighty Mjölnir hitting the anvil, these theories have sparked heated dialogue across the fandom. What’s your take on the matter? Let’s get the conversation booming in the comments.
