Thor
The Asgardian God of Thunder and heir to the throne of Asgard. Thor's journey from arrogant prince to worthy hero spans the destruction of Asgard, the Infinity War, and a personal reckoning in the aftermath of Endgame.
Thor's MCU journey is the franchise's most dramatic tonal evolution. Kenneth Branagh's Shakespearean register in the first film — all classical tragedy and exile mythology — gives way to Taika Waititi's anarchic comedy in Ragnarok, with two further films testing the emotional range between those poles. The through-line is a character forced to lose everything he defines himself by: his hammer, his father, his home planet, his brother, his eye, and finally the Infinity War — and learning that identity doesn't live in any of those things.
Thor: Ragnarok is the essential turning point. It demolishes the Asgard of the first two films and reframes Thor as a character capable of bearing genuine comic weight without losing dramatic credibility. Avengers: Endgame then uses that comedic register to examine PTSD and self-destruction with unusual honesty for a Marvel film. Thor: Love and Thunder introduces his successor — Jane Foster as Mighty Thor — and complicates his relationship with worthiness one final time. Watch all four Thor films in sequence to follow one of the franchise's richest character arcs.
