what
this isn't like a journey to earth where
you summon a little lightning and
thunder and the mortals worship you as a
god welcome to watch mojo and today
we're breaking down the post-credits
scenes in thor love and thunder i just
want to say that was very very
impressive what you did back there for
this video we're looking at the
post-credits scenes from the latest thor
film and what they mean for the mcu
going forward this means spoilers
spoilers and more spoilers what did you
think of the film's post-credits scenes
let us know in the comments
in addition to being the most iconic god
in greek mythology zeus has been a
prominent deity in the marvel comic
books since debuting in 1949 thor love
and thunder introduces russell crowe's
interpretation of the character faster
than a speeding lightning bolt zeus
seemingly dies at thor's hand halfway
through the film let's see who you are
and take off your disguise
and flick
of course if there's one thing the mcu
is infamous for it's fake out deaths the
mid-credit scene reveals zeus alive
albeit still weak after taking that bolt
to the chest thor was right about one
thing however his actions against zeus
won't go unnoticed instead of sending an
entire army after thor zeus entrusts
this revenge mission to his fiercest
warrior and son roy kent i'm roy ken he
doesn't like it no okay not exactly but
can we give a sidebar the post-credits
scene for spider-man no way home saw
eddie brock confiding in a bartender
played by cristo fernandez of danny
rojas fame sir you have to pay the bill
what is happening no no we just got here
no no
and there he goes
now thor love and thunder ends on emmy
winner brett goldstein armed with a mace
is this like a new trend are all future
mcu movies gonna leave us with a ted
lasso actor popping up hannah wattingham
would make an exquisite emma frost but
we'll save the fan casting for another
time that really isn't necessary okay
well mark this down is the first time we
disagree then goldstein makes his mcu
debut as hercules whose first marvel
comics appearance can be traced back to
1965. from the beginning hercules is
established as thor's rival technically
when the two first fought in the comics
it was later revealed that hercules was
a disguised space phantom sent by
immortus when the real hercules finally
arrives in journey into mystery annual
number one he inevitably clashes with
thor in a battle of strength and ego
interestingly it's zeus who puts a stop
to their fighting making his son and the
god of thunder shake hands in love and
thunder it's essentially the opposite
with zeus ordering hercules to restore
his godly honor i am hercules prince of
power lion of olympus greatest of the
argonauts it sounds like zeus's goal
goes beyond getting back at thor he sees
that superheroes have become humanity's
new idols while gods like himself are
now considered a joke zeus wants people
to fear the gods again this could entail
hercules slaying one of earth's
mightiest heroes or having him target
those who thor has sworn to protect if
the comics are any indication thor and
hercules may start as enemies but a
camaraderie could arise thor has helped
hercules get out of a few tight spots
most notably saving him from olympian
pluto whether hercules ultimately
becomes thor's friend or foe we're sure
that goldstein will go the distance in
the role
[Music]
speaking of which is disney about to
have two live-action hercules the post
credits confirm that thor will return
meaning we can expect at least one more
standalone film starring chris hemsworth
while thor 5 has yet to be officially
announced we imagine it'll center on the
conflict between the god of thunder and
hercules greetings newcomers come bask
in the bronze glow of hercules this
would also be a prime opportunity to
bring the hulk back into the mix as
hercules has held his own against the
green guy in the comics although thor
will return the post-credits say nothing
about the mighty thor making a comeback
based on the second post-credits scene
jane foster has gone to a better place
and she's likely to stay there from a
puff of fog jane emerges into a
mysterious realm for a brief second it
looks like jane might have survived her
battle against gore and stage 4 cancer
however it's confirmed that foster has
passed on as she's greeted by another
familiar fallen face idris elba returns
as heimdall making him one of the few
actors to appear in all four thor films
along with chris hemsworth never
as an enemy slipped my watch until this
day
i wish to know how that happened
heimdall thanks jane for protecting his
son who goes by axel and shares his
father's abilities he welcomes jane to
the paradise of valhalla the asgardian
afterlife as the film closes
valhalla has come up a few times in past
mcu movies in his first solo film thor
speaks of food so succulent that it
would be worthy of valhalla who led you
into the most glorious battles
you did
and valstag the delicacy is so succulent
you thought you died and gone to
valhalla
you did when odin passed on in ragnarok
thor hoped that there was a place in
valhalla reserved for him in norse
mythology odin rules over valhalla where
dead warriors unite to prepare for
ragnarok of course ragnarok has already
happened in the mcu loki this was never
about stopping ragnarok this was about
causing ragnarok surface crown the vault
it's the only way at one point during
the production of thor ragnarok taika
waititi planned to set most of the film
in valhalla where a giant showdown would
take place this idea was dropped with
ragnarok ultimately destroying asgard
instead ytt's depiction of valhalla here
thus functions more like an eternal
paradise for those who died a glorious
death when thor reunites with lady siff
in love and thunder he mentions that you
need to die in battle to get into
valhalla i've got this completely under
control is that why everything's on fire
according to norse mythology half of
valhalla's population dies in combat
while the goddess freyja chooses the
other half that enters freyja also goes
by friega thor's mother portrayed by
rene russo in the mcu the future hasn't
been kind to you has it
i didn't say it was from the future
marvel's qualifications for reaching
valhalla are still a little iffy but it
makes sense that heimdall and jane would
be there heimdall fell in battle saving
the hulk before thanos finished him off
in infinity war that was a mistake
considering that heimdall was a
gatekeeper in one life it's only fitting
that he would be at the gates of
valhalla to welcome jane although jane
wasn't born on asgard she is an
asgardian in every way that matters i
must go back to asgard but i give you my
word
i will return for you
prior to the events of this film she
helped thor save the world twice in love
and thunder she not only proves herself
worthy enough to wield mjolnir but the
hammer reforms just for her
he reclaimed his title
as the one and only thor
oh spook too soon jane solidifies her
worthiness during the final act
endangering herself to help thor the
asgardian children and the other gods
that gore seeks to
destroy i want to kill this guy
dying in thor's arms following the final
battle jane more than earns her place in
valhalla jane and heimdall are the only
ones we see in valhalla during the post
credits but who else could be there of
the warriors 3
volstag fandral and hogan all died when
hella arrived in asgard who are you what
have you done
i'm hella since they all perished in
battle we expect there's a special place
in valhalla for them friega also died in
combat sacrificing herself to protect
jane from malaketh although odin doesn't
die in battle he says he can hear friga
calling him before passing on home yes
your mother
she calls me
you hear it this line suggests that
frigga also has a say in who enters
valhalla whether they died in combat or
not biggest question mark is loki the
one who died in infinity war before we

although the god of mischief lived most
of his life as a villain and a trickster
he found redemption in the end he got
choked out trying to save his adoptive
brother from thanos meeting the criteria
of dying in combat you should choose
your words more carefully
[Music]
if friega has any say we imagine loki
would be welcome in valhalla we hope to
see more of valhalla in future mcu
projects be it thor 5 or season 2 of
loki it might even be fun to get an
entire film or mini-series set there for
now this post-credits scene provides a
legendary send-off for jane foster
mighty thor jane
