Thor has become a fan favorite after years of languishing amidst the most underutilized of MCU characters; before the phenomenally well-received Thor: Ragnarok seemingly changed everything for his trajectory and standing with the fanbase.
Thor: Love and Thunder saw the return of the two people most responsible for the character’s revitalization, Chris Hemsworth and Taika Waititi, in their second collaborative effort that was set to carry the character forward into a new future.
