Marvel’s upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder has the opportunity to redeem one of its predecessor’s few mistakes: the rushed deaths among Odin( Anthony Hopkins) in Thor: Ragnarok. While Thor and its follow-up, Thor: The Dark World, aren’t fan favorites of the MCU, conductor Taika Waititi created the Thor dealership greater credibility with the poppy, entertaining Thor: Ragnarok. Waititi is returning for the next cinema in the series, and some followers are hoping he will make up for Odin’s regretfully brief death.

Odin went missing at the end of Dark World after Loki( Tom Hiddleston) privately dethroned him. By the time Thor( Chris Hemsworth) and Loki noticed him on Earth in Ragnarok, his time was nearly up. After forewarning his sons about the imminent threat of their estranged sister, Hela( Cate Blanchett ), Odin fades away in a golden mist. The situation has its merits: the view and rating are both beautiful. Nonetheless, instead of giving a meet conclusion to the character’s three-film arc, Odin’s final appearance does little more than specify exposition.

An alternate Odin death scene from Thor: Ragnarok had Thor finding his father living as a drink homeless subject on the streets of New York. The deleted situation returns Hopkins room to munch scenery while still providing the needed account, but it does something even more important: it throws Odin a laudable extinction. When Hela appears in this version, Odin comings her and does his best to intervene in her pernicious strategies. Before doing so, he surpasses his supremacy as king of Asgard onto Thor. When Hela kills Odin, he is completing an arc of sacrifice and worthiness – key themes of the Thor franchise.

In true-blue Marvel fashion, the specifics of Thor: Love and Thunder are tightly under wraps. There is a way for the cinema to exchange Odin’s pointless death in Ragnarok’s theatrical cut, though. Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster will return to the franchise for Thor 4, and there are substantial rumors that Jane Foster will become the superpowered Mighty Thor. Further, numerous love are speculating Christian Bale will frisk Beta Ray Bill, a comic book enemy turned Asgard ally. Both Foster and Beta Ray Bill are worthy of wielding Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer, in Marvel comics canon.

If Waititi decides to follow a same footpath in Love and Thunder, he can make up for Odin’s unceremonious purpose. Giving these personas access to Mjolnir will fulfill the Asgardian legacy that Odin hoped to leave behind. The dead king believes that only an unselfish, admirable few should swing ability; by making sure that Thor, Foster, and Bill are all worthy of Mjolnir – or other Thor canon artilleries – Waititi will craft a fib that lives up to Odin’s legacy. It will also finalize the lesson Odin taught his son in the first Thor film: a warrior mustn’t fight for himself. Thor has slowly learned this lesson throughout the MCU, but sharing his unique move of superpowers will require Thor to lose his ego and maybe even his reputation, thus proving Odin correct.

Taika Waititi is one of the best filmmakers working today. If he’s going to become Thor: Love and Thunder as filling as Ragnarok, though, he needs to continue Odin’s legacy and make up for his disappointing fatality. By bestowing Thor’s supremacies on deserving non-Asgardians, Waititi will ensure that Odin’s death was not in vain and that it brings his long arc to a worthwhile end.
