Story Line.
Thor's retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher, who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie, Korg and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who - to Thor's surprise - inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher's vengeance and stop him before it's too late
Thoughts.
So, the opening could have been cut a little shorter, in my opinion it was a bit too long.
This story line was much better than the previous Thor movie and I'm glad they brought back the love between Thor and Jane. That has been missing in most movies where Thor has been. It was almost like the writers “Forgot” that this had even happened.
The thing I love about these marvel movies is that there is comedy and serious all wrapped into one movie. It makes them very easy to watch.
They are still doing the Asgard plays, and Matt Damon is still Loki, and it was so funny! After the attack when they are trying to make a plan, the playwrights are trying to figure out their next movie!
All in all, I'd say this was a pretty good movie.
CAUTION; Major Spoiler Alert
Gorr,
the last of his people, spends his days striving to survive on a
barren desert with his daughter Love. He prays to his god Rapu for
help, but Love soon dies of starvation. Just as he begins to hear a
voice calling out to him in the distance, Gorr discovers an oasis
where he finds Rapu, who had killed the latest wielder of an ancient
weapon known as All-Black the Necrosword. Rapu makes fun of Gorr for
his helplessness and refuses to provide any assistance. Feeling
betrayed, Gorr claims the Necrosword and beheads him, and vows for
the elimination of all gods.
Thor continues his adventures
with the Guardians of the Galaxy, responding to distress calls across
the universe while working to get back in shape. However, Thor
remains discontent with where he is in life, and intends to retire.
An influx of distress calls regarding Gorr emerge, one of them being
from Sif, who had hunted him down. Thor and Korg respond to Sif's
call, parting ways with the Guardians who leave to respond to the
others. They find a defeated Sif with her arm severed, who warns them
that Gorr will attack New Asgard next.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jane
Foster undergoes treatment for stage IV cancer. Efforts to research
for a cure prove futile and she beings to lose hope, but Foster
becomes inspired to travel to New Asgard in hopes that their magic
can help eliminate the cancer. As Thor has unknowingly enchanted it
to protect Foster while they were together, Mjølnir becomes drawn to
her presence, fusing itself back together and imbuing her with the
powers of the Mighty Thor.
That night, Gorr uses the
Necrosword to swarm New Asgard with shadow monsters. Thor, Korg, and
Sif arrive to confront them, as does King Valkyrie and Foster, who
Thor is surprised to see. While they were able to repel the monsters,
Gorr escapes with Asgard's children, including Heimdall's son Axl.
Thor communicates with Axl and deduces that the children are in the
Shadow Realm. Knowing that Gorr's strength would be at its peak
there, Thor, Foster, Valkyrie, and Korg travel to Omnipotence City to
warn Zeus of Gorr and ask for an army to help fight him.
Unconvinced
that Gorr is a threat to Omnipotence City, Zeus instead has Thor
captured, forcing the others to intervene and fend off Zeus' men. In
the scuffle, Zeus uses his Thunderbolt to destroy Korg's body; only
his face remains intact (although this is enough for him to survive).
Enraged, Thor uses the Thunderbolt to impale Zeus in the chest, which
Valkyrie steals as the group escapes to confront Gorr in the Shadow
Realm. On the way, Thor learns of Foster's cancer diagnosis, and the
two rekindle their relationship.
Upon arrival, they attempt to
locate the children, only to realize that they had fallen for a trap.
Gorr intended to take Stormbreaker in order to utilize the Bifrost
Bridge to access Eternity, where he can wish for the extinction of
the gods. They battle Gorr and his shadow monsters once more, but are
forced to flee back to New Asgard once Valkyrie and Foster are
weakened; Before Stormbreaker can be transported across the Bifrost,
Gorr steals it. Thor is informed that the effects of Mjølnir are
aggravating Foster's cancer, and he urges her to stay behind to
recover. Valkyrie is also unable to continue fighting, leaving the
Thunderbolt in Thor's possession so that he can fight Gorr again.
At
the center of the universe, Gorr begins opening Eternity's gate with
Stormbreaker. Thor arrives and imbues the children with the power of
Thor, giving them enough strength to overcome the remaining shadow
monsters. Gorr gains the upper hand against Thor. Having sensed his
distress, Foster decides to wield Mjølnir again despite her weakened
condition and join the fight. Thor gives Foster ample time to use
Mjølnir to shatter the Necrosword into pieces, dooming herself and
Gorr. Thor recovers Stormbreaker and has the children use it to
return home, but they could not stop Gorr from entering
Eternity.
Thor calls out to Gorr and pleads for him to choose
love over death as he rushes to Foster's side. Their love reminded
him of the love he had for his daughter, thus deciding to use his
wish to resurrect Love. Foster soon succumbs to the cancer, vanishing
into Valhalla. Thor accepts Gorr's request to take custody of Love
before he dies from the Necrosword's curse.
In the aftermath,
a statue of Foster as the Mighty Thor is erected in New Asgard. Sif
and Valkyrie begin training the children in combat, while Korg's body
fully regenerates as he seeks to produce an offspring. Thor starts to
raise Love as his own daughter, entrusting her with Stormbreaker
while he wields Mjølnir into battle. The two begin travelling the
galaxy offering assistance to whomever needs it, becoming known as
Love and Thunder.
In a mid-credits scene: a recuperating Zeus
sends his son Hercules to kill Thor.
In a post-credits scene:
Foster arrives at the gates of Valhalla, where Heimdall welcomes her
and thanks her for helping save his son.
