Thor: Love and Thunder: 5 things we’ve learned from the trailer
By Mark Lynch
4. Thor: God of Peace?
Thor has always been a god of action. He’s been quick to use his hammer and lightning to destroy anyone who threatened him or those under his protection. After everything he’s been through, Thor seems to be trying something new. He wants peace.
No one has been through more heartache in the MCU than Thor. He’s lost everyone he loves through fighting. And, as the phrase goes, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” He may have looked at this as a time to switch things up. It’ll be interesting to see what leads him to this conclusion. Will Thor keep that vow or will something bring him to retirement? Or, maybe the God of Peace is what happens at the end of the movie.
3. Love and Thunder and Zeus?
The Olympian Gods haven’t made their way into the MCU yet. If there’s any Marvel Studios Franchise that should bring them in, it’s Thor. Especially since there’s a rivalry between Thor and Hercules. Before the Odinson gets his battle with the Lion of Olympus, we could see the other God of Thunder and Lightning, the father of Olympus, Zeus.
It’s not likely that this was actually Zeus. It looks more like a scene from one of the Asgardian plays. The lightning looked too fake. However, that doesn’t mean the Olympians won’t appear. This mockery could bring them out of the woodworks. It also helps that the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book by Al Ewing started with them fighting the Greek Gods.
