who would have ever thought that thor
would be the last og avenger standing
yeah the dude that looks like melted ice
cream outlasted iron man but thanks to
end game in the upcoming phase 4
the god of thunder is in a great
position to remain a key member of the
avengers going forward
the mcu is in a major transition period
right now and this next phase leading up
to avengers 5 will be vital in shaping
the next iteration
of earth's mightiest heroes this video
is all about the next avengers team and
not only about how we'll get there but
also how thor will be the central
linchpin to this new roster of heroes
let's get into it it's kind of crazy to
track thor's character across the mcu
sure he was admired enough but after
phase one and two did you really think
thor would be the avenger who got a
fourth movie
iron man 4 or captain america 4 just
kind of rolls off the tongue
but 4-4 definitely not after
disappointing turns in both thor
the dark world and avengers age of
ultron it kind of seems like thor was
becoming unimportant but then taika
waititi got his kooky hands on the thor
franchise and suddenly everything
changed
by embracing the humor and ramping up
the zaniness thor ragnarok completely
reinvented thor
he shifted from being the butt of a lot
of jokes to one of the funniest
characters in the mcu
and while he was becoming funnier his
story was getting increasingly more
tragic
after finally earning the title of king
of asgar and thor ragnarok
thor quickly lost everything in infinity
war meaning in just two movies
he'd lost his father his brother his
hammer his homeworld
most of his people and his best friend
pretty heavy stuff
at least mike is still alive and after
the spiraling descent into a depressed
big thorbowski for
failing to stop thanos thor ended
endgame with a new purpose
he wasn't meant to be king but rather
wanted to set out to go on to new
adventures and make his own destiny
and that's fantastic it sets up thor to
appear in more movies
which is more than we can say about
almost every single original avenger
after end game
iron man snapped his way to a giant iron
heap in the sky
captain america now needs dentures and
adult diapers black widow is laying at
the bottom of vormir
hawkeye will probably never leave his
family again unless it's for disney plus
levels of money
and hulk suddenly became left-handed
with all the major players off the board
it will be up to thor to bridge the gap
between the old and the new heroes in
the next avengers movie so
when can we expect you back
because the future is changing phase 4
is going to set up a complete new roster
of avengers heroes
some that we're already familiar with
and some will be introduced for the
first time
you'll have returning heroes like doctor
strange black panther captain marvel and
spider-man
you know if he ends up staying in the
mcu for the long run but you'll already
have some new faces like shang qi
some eternals and jane foster's mighty
thor with all these new and
semi-returning faces
it would be nice to have one character
that bridges the cap between the old
guard and the new one
before end game i would have given that
job to either iron man or captain
america
but surprisingly it's thor who's in the
best position for this
not only is he a great bridge between
the cosmic side of the universe and
earth
especially since new asgard is now
located in norway but he can help mentor
his new avengers
this will probably come in the form of
jane foster who we know in thor 4 will
wield mjorelnir and become her own
superhero known as the mighty thor
with jane inheriting such godlike power
she'll need a teacher who can help her
understand her new abilities
and since thor's schedule is free from
now until 2045 where he has an asgardian
dentist appointment that he could easily
reschedule if necessary
he could be the one to not only train
her but also incorporate her into the
new avengers team
so thor's role in the new avengers will
be an interesting one because sure he'll
be the only og but
the team's strength level is completely
different now the first avengers team
had two heavy hitters in thor and hulk
but this new roster is crazy powerful
not only do you have captain marvel
who's probably the strongest hero in the
universe
but now you have the mighty thor who
will be just as strong
if not stronger than the original thor
and throw in doctor strange and the
eternals
and you've got to wonder what thor can
bring to the table now since it can't be
just his strength
he has to bring his knowledge and
leadership skills as well
yes he's goofier than he was a few
movies ago but he's also suffered almost
more than anyone he'll understand how to
keep the new avengers focused and
dedicated because if he wasn't there
i could see a lot of these strong
personalities butting heads and
disbanding
plus after he spends some time traveling
the galaxy by himself
he'll gain an invaluable perspective on
the universe and even if the worst case
scenario is that he's just a comic
relief type character
then his humor and his heart will become
the glue that holds the team together i
really feel like we were connecting
there
and what happens after avengers 5. how
much can thor be around for
can he make it to avengers 6 avengers 7
avengers 15
sure why not thor has turned into a hero
that can feasibly continue on for many
more years and keeping him as the
franchise's biggest legacy character
might be the smartest move they can make
he's someone who ties back to the
original and has grown into such a great
character that he could stick around
forever
by completing his king of asgard arc
he's able to continue on with his fun
space
adventures with no end in sight who
knows maybe we could see a movie with a
much older thor down the line what would
that film look like
i don't know but i'd watch it in a
heartbeat so as long as chris hemsworth
and taika white tt are down for it
there's no reason why they need to stop
making thor movies
