    Default Did Endgame turned the god of thunder into the god of jobbers?



    One of the reasons why i think Infinity War is the better movie of the two.

    Loved Thor's arc spanning from Ragnarok to Infinity War to Endgame. INCLUDING Endgame. I have no complaints and certainly don't think they turned him into a loser.

    Thor didn’t job once in Endgame so no, he wasn’t the god of jobbers.

    Character arcs with highs and lows are more important than feat showcases.

    The bit started off good but quickly got old.

    But I doubt the move was made for people really to be into on going(future films). It was done mostly to tear him down to build up other characters. A poor man's story crafting that Marvel has mastered over the last couple of years.

    No. He's lost his Mother, Father, Brother, best friends, kingdom, and half his people prior to Endgame, he's barely holding on through Infinity War then has the chance to at least get revenge/stop Thanos and fails. When he does kill Thanos in Endgame it's a hollow victory and he's lost his purpose, though through Endgame he regains it. There's no jobbing here, unless you count not beating Thanos by himself as jobbing (in which case everyone's a jobber).

    Besides, of the heroes he had arguably the absolute best showings in Infinity War, got to spread the love around.

    Personally i think only the first movie and Infinity War got Thor right. Although i have some issues with him getting tased by Jane. He's such a bumbling idiot in the other movies

    Except he already had a character arc, and if you want to show a character going through a crisis, don't make silly jokes out of him. No one in real life makes fun of people going through depression. And a character like the Mighty Thor should never be treated like a comic relief.

    I'm completely dreading what Gunn Is gonna do to Thor in GOTG 3.

    No one can beat Vision as the Jobber King under the Infinity War/Endgame team.

    Already having a character arc does not mean a main character shouldn't have another, and when you have character in several different stories then they have to have highs and lows. The logical result of Thor losing everything, blaming himself for screwing up and costing the Avengers the win at the end, and then finally getting his vengeance and having it be pointless and hollow is him hitting a low point. Yes, they tweak it into a Lebowski joke, but they've made jokes out of every bad situation to lighten the mood. No character is so high and sacred that they can't be the subject of humor, especially when universe buster Thanos is the subject of quips. The other Avengers aren't giving Thor pep talks, but this is after a 5-year timeskip where he clearly did not want help, therefore could not get it. The best thing they could do for him was find him some new purpose, which they did. It took a speech from someone way too close to his heart to get him back on his feet. So yes, he hit his low point, but he went high again and was very impressive, and the arc had a nice message about individual worth and identity. They told a story about the character, and it's not his last one.

    I don’t know. Considering he wailed on Infinity Gauntlet Thanos with just the axe, I expected him to do a helluva lot better against regular Thanos with axe AND hammer.
    If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not
