Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul and the sun shines on us again brother
as the first trailer for Thor Love And Thunder is now here.
It's time to Ragnarok and roll so follow us as we go through everything you need to know
about the movie, the easter eggs, hidden details and things you missed.
Full spoilers ahead for what happens in the comics and whilst Marvel never completely
adapt storylines, I'm gonna tell you to p**s off ghost if you don't want things ruined.

that's how we get our paper.
Little rock paper scissors joke there so with that out the way, thanks for clicking this,
now let's get into Thor Love And Thunder.
Now the trailer very much opens with a montage and Thor talking about how much his hands
are now used for peace.
There's very much an 80s training vibe to ity in the same vein of rocky and this whole
movie seems to be paying tribue to the decade.
He starts off by running and we watch as through the magic of montage how he ages up.
This includes his classic costume which looks amazing and we catch him meditating on a planet
with what I believe has 3 suns, two moons and a saturn like one.
Thor trains away using chains instead of ropes and on his hat we can actually catch the classic
Avengers Logo with the writing strongest over the top.
This is of course a nod to Ragnarok when he called himself that.
Now Thor looks like he's very much been on a wellness retreat and the guy has lost all
the dead weight like Screen Crush when they let Ryan Arey go and allow Doug to run the
channel.
Getting a lot of Hippy vibes from this and we also see Stormbreaker planted in the ground.
The handle for the axe of course came from Groots arm and we see it in the ground growing
roots, showing how long that Thor has been there for.
The guardians show up and alongside them are some blue alience creatures.
These are potentially the interdites who have been touched upon in the marvel expanded universe.
They were first mentioned by Lady Sif in the Agents Of Shield episode and we do know that
Jamie Alexander will be playing her once more in the movie.
Now interestingly the Guardians are all there minus Gamora showing that they still haven't
found her.
If you cast your mind back to the ending of Avengers Endgame then you'll remember that
she was brought across from another Universe and Quill was seen attempting to search for
her at the end of the movie.
It was even theorised that with her being part of Thanos' army that she might have got
snapped away however a deleted scene showed her leaving the battlefield after Stark had
carried out the snap.
So she is still alive but I doubt she's gonna pop up in this movie and I think it'll be
something that's probably just addressed in Guardians Volume 3.
Now we catch Thor wearing a Red Sleeveless Jacket and we know from the toy leaks that
this will be called Ravager Thor.
Ravagers are the group that Quill belonged to and they of course wear these red leather
jackets.
However this costume itself pulls from Thor Thunderstrike in which he also had the boots
on.
Really nice corporate cohesion there where you take an already established character
design from the comics and tie it into the universe where it's also the uniform of a
group of characters that he's travelling with.
Now saying that the guardians might even leave without him as he seems to get a boat and
he even turns around and walks away whilst they take to the sky.
They travel through the hex points that have showed up in several films and this allows
one to jump across the universe.
At this point we see a ship being pulled from new asgard with two goats on the front.
we see two goats pulling it right at the front which are quite important,
Now these goats actually pull from Norse mythology and they're based on Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr.
In the tales of legend they would pull Thors chariot and they were actually introduced
into the MCU all the way back in 1976.
The pair were renamed to Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher and they too pulled my guys ride.
On the boat we can catch valkyrie and also korg standing there with fur shoulder pads.
It very much looks like they're sailing across the universe looking for stuff to do and I
actually appreciate how chill this whole thing looks.
It's not really action heavy and yeah nice chilled vibe to it.
Later on in the trailer we get another look at New Asgard and can see that it's now a
thriving community.
There's several cruise liners there and also a van advertising new asgard tours.
We get a planet that looks like an MC esher painting, and I love the way this twist and
turns adding to the complexity of the world.
There's also a moment where Korg and Thor stand together and look over a beast.
I absolutely love this moment and it's pulled directly from the comics namely thor god of
thunder.
Shows how much attention to detail they're paying and it's such a good moment.
Now we know that Russell Crow has also been cast as Zeus and we catch his back at one
point.
This is gonna be really interesting and potentially we could get a pantheon of the gods.
Moon Knight has introduced Khonshu to us and we may end up getting other ones appearing
such as Bast from Black Panther.
Really nice inclusion to have him inhere and I can't wait to see what they do with the
guy.
Now there's also an energy conference and potentially this is a nod to Roxxon the evil
corporation that litters the Marvel Universe.
They have had several references to them in the MCU but nothing major, however this could
be where they come out.
Valkyrie is seen wearing a suit at this point and beside her we can catch Meik wearing one
too.
This looks quite feminine and in the comics meik could have kids so ey, makes sense.
Now as for Jane becoming Thor, as we mentioned before this has a lot of precedent in the
comics.
In the source material whilst Thor was offworld battling Gorr she got diagnosed with Cancer
and though she had several magical options that could have healed her she refused them.
Thor eventually ended up losing his worthiness...is that...is that a word, worthiness, anyway
and because of this he was unable to weild Mljonlnir.
It then started calling out to Jane and Heimdall took her to where it had been left behind,
which just so happened to be the moon.
Jane picked it up and instantly she gained Thors power and this also cured her of her
cancer.
Thor eventually found her and though he was a bit like 'woah mate, you made Thor a woman,
bloody, bloody outrageous wokeness this is' he gave her his blessing when he seen that
she was indeed worthy.
Thor even handed over his name and we know from the toy leaks that she'll be going by
The Mighty Thor at some point in the film.
He ended up falling back on his old name Odinson and I think that's probably what will also
be happening in the film at some point.

Now one of the big questions you might have is how is Mlon...can't pronounce it....how
is Thor's hammer back?
In Thor Ragnarok it was destroyed by Hela which was really sad because the Hammer used
to pull Thor off.
As for this one though many people think that it might come from another dimension like
the one in Endgame, if we look at the toy leaks we can see that see that it's been pieced
together again.
Maybe Hela smashed it up and because you have to be worthy to lift it the pieces remained
behind and thus it was easy to put back together again.
As for how Jane can lift it, I'm not 100% sure but I have a theory that it might have
something to do with the Infinity Stones.
If we look at Vision in Age Of Ultron, he could lift it and though it was thought that
it's because he was pure, it might also have been to do with the Mindstone that brought
him to life.
Now Jane was attached to one too, namely the Aether that showed up in Thor The Dark World.
Potentially this flowing through her veins could have been the reason that she could
harness the hammer and also gain the power of Thor.
If you cast your mind back to the first Thor film, Odin said whoever shall be worthy shall
have the power of Thor so her lifting this would instantly give her the powers.
-
Now a big missing part of the trailer is Gorr the butcher who we know is going to be the
big bad in the movie.
Like a lot of things in this video we got our first look at him in the toys leaks.
T
here was lots of back and forth over this and from here on out I'm calling the guy Christian
Pale.
As for the design it's a big departure from the comics and I am actually interested to
see where they go with it.
The big defence around the whole thing is that you don't hire Christian Bale and then
hide his face but let me present to you the Dark Knight trilogy.
Anyway though it's not really inline with the comics, I think that the design is kinda
creepy.
Guy looks like Anakin does after he got melted in Revenge Of The Sith and I'm getting a lot
of evil Monk vibes from him here.
We also know from the toy leaks that the ends of his fingers will be black much in the same
way that Agatha's were in Wandavision after she cast magic from the Dark Dimension.
Now this kinda ties into an overarching theory that I have about Gorr and The Necrosword
which we also know he will be weilding.
This powerful weapon is strong enough to butcher a god, however it also has a darker side to
it.
Weilding it could corrupt Gorr throughout the film and it may start by turning his fingers
black before it moves over his whole body.
Though the design for the character is getting a lot of backlash I'd love to see if it mutated
him over the film and eventually we could get a version of him that's more inline with
the comics.
Now incase you don't know, the comics pretty much outline his backstory really well.
Growing up he was very religious, tying into this Monk idea and Gorr was told that the
Gods would shield him from harm if he prayed to them.
However after his wife and all their children died he promised to get revenge on the Gods
and he sought out to kill them one by one.
This led him into conflict with Thor who eventually managed to defeat him through absorbing his
weapon known as the Godbomb.
Thor labelled him the God Of Hypocrisy and though he killed him he was later ressurrected
in following storylines.
Bale is a massive get for the MCU and I can't wait to see what he pulls off in the movie.
The Dark Knight trilogy is probably still the best comic book trilogy of all time and
it's gonna be great seeing him in this movie.
As for what's happened to his family in the MCU, there's been lots of rumours such as
him being snapped and thus he wasn't there to protect his family.
According to reports they all died upon his return but this might just be bs because ey,
it's the internet and anyone can make stuff up.
There's also theories that they were killed by Hela and this would somewhat set up his
vendetta with Thor.
With her being the goddess of death it would also tie in with the Necrosword which he may
have obtained from her realm.

As for my reaction this first look has got me really hyped.
Thor Ragnarok is in my top 5 films and I think it's easily the funniest Marvel movie there
is.
Watiti has gone on to win Oscars for his directing and I think the guys got a really good sense
of humour.
Go watch what we do in the shadows if you haven't seen it.
The comics they're choosing to take elements from are also really strong as well and casting
Christian Bale as a villain is something people will definitely wanna see.
All in all this has the making for a great movie and there's such a fun and stylised
take on this whole teaser trailer.
Really fun to be back with the God of Funder...ey and I hope you enjoyed the breakdown.
I'd of course love to hear your thoughts so make sure you comment below and let me know
you punk.
If you want something else to watch then make sure you check out our breakdown of perfect
scene in Spider-Man Homecoming.
We break down the entire thing so it's definitely worth checking out if you wanna know more.
With that out the way thank you for sitting through the video, I’ve been Paul and I’ll
see you next time.
Take care, Peace
