If we are sure of one thing within Phase 4 of the UCM, it is that original heroes are missed that we met in the early stages of the Marvel universe, such as Iron Man, Captain America or Black Widow. But it is not only the fans who miss them, but also within fiction we can find various tributes to these fallen characters.
How much we miss them!
We have examples like the home video that we see at the beginning of Spider-Man Far From Home, where The passing of Tony, Natasha, Steve and Vision is honored or the commemorative plaque that is under the bridge of the first film of avengerswhich we could see in the series of Hawk Eye. Although it may be that the one that has appeared within Thor: Love and Thunderr be one of the most emotional.
After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Thor is the last of the six original avengers still active. so in the film we see reflected that feeling of loneliness and the attempt of the God of Thunder to find himself and his place in the world.
Now, before we continue we are going to SPOILEAR with great detail the new Marvel movie, so if you haven’t seen it, be very careful. Without further ado, let’s begin.
the last avenger
Inside the scene in which Thor, The Mighty Thor (Jane Foster), Valkyrie and Korg go to seek the support of the other gods in order to rescue the children of New Asgard that Gorr has imprisoned. Thus we meet Zeus, the lord of the deities, who steadfastly refuses to help our favorite mythological heroes. At that moment Thor is arrested and in a scene that has already become a meme, Zeus undresses him with a hand gesture. That is when we can see a series of tattoos that the character of Thor has on his back.
Among them highlight a tribute to Loki consisting of a tattoo of his helmet with his characteristic horns and the phrase “RIP Loki”. Without a doubt, a moment that caused several to shed a tear in the movie theater.
But without any doubt the most interesting is on Thor’s right side. It is a parchment in which we find six names written in Norwegian: Mother (referring to Frigga, who died during the events of Thor The Dark World), Father (Odin, who passed away at the beginning of thor ragnarok), Loki and Heimdall (both killed by Thanos during the first 15 min of Avengers: Infinity War) Y Tony and Natasha (deceased sacrificing themselves to save the world in Avengers: Endgame).
You could say it’s like a compilation of those heroes who have lived the most adventures with him and that to save the world (and the universe) they are no longer with us. So it’s great that the God of Thunder still has them in his memory, isn’t it?
And you? Did you notice this nice tribute in Thor Love and Thunder?
