Now, Thor: Love and Thunder is attempting to continue this trend with a flashback to the 2014 Alan Taylor flick. Granted that it doesn't totally fix it, Frigga's subsequent death suddenly has more weight to it. This effectively reframed how people remember Thor: The Dark World. But, it also allowed the God of Thunder to reconnect with his mother, Frigga (Rene Russo) at a time where he needed the most maternal love. As part of the time heist, Thor and Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper) went back to 2014 Asgard to steal the Reality Stone/Aether.

From there, Joe and Anthony Russo took over the God of Thunder's arc and continued it in Avengers: Infinity War. This visual change was reflected in Thor's personality change as he became more lighthearted and humorous. Instead of the dark and brooding color palette of the original Thor film and its sequel, the 2017 flick was bright and lively it fully embraced Jack Kirby's aesthetic. It wasn't until director Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok that the Asgardian Prince became a fan-favorite power player in the franchise, and much of that film undid what went down in its predecessors.

While Marvel Studios was able to easily establish Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America's (Chris Evans) place in the MCU, it took them quite a while to decide on what approach is best for the God of Thunder. The flashbacks for Thor: Love and Thunder can complete Avengers: Endgame's attempt to fix Thor: The Dark World.
