Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Love and Thunder suffered from clashing tones. Swapping their main villains would have fixed part of the problem.
The MCU's worst-received Chris Hemsworth movies, Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Love and Thunder, could have made a bigger impact had they swapped their main villains. Kenneth Branagh's Thor established Thor, Loki, Jane Foster, and all the Asgardian mythology that continues to shape the MCU to this day. Years later, Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok gave Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder a breath of fresh air with a comedic take on the character.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Thor: The Dark World's unambitious plot and clichéd villain failed to build upon Thor, and Thor: Love and Thunder's zero-stakes story and exaggerated comedy hurt the character's credibility. In Thor: The Dark World, Christopher Eccleston didn't have much room to explore Malekith as a character, and in Thor: Love and Thunder, Christian Bale's terrifying take on Gorr was lost amongst Taika Waititi's extravagant directing style.
What Thor's Controversial Sequels Would Have Been Like With Swapped Villains A swap between Thor: The Dark World's Malekith and Thor: Love and Thunder's Gorr the God Butcher would have helped both Thor sequels deliver a more cohesive story. Thor: The Dark World left Thor in a darker place after Loki's supposed death and Frigga's actual demise, so integrating Gorr's own story of loss into this part of Thor's journey would have added to its emotional weight.
Thor: Love and Thunder, in turn, could have given Christopher Eccleston more freedom to take his MCU villain in more innovative directions. The actor could have had more fun with Malekith had he been given more opportunities for comedy, action, and camp than the monotonous characterization Malekith had in Thor: The Dark World.
Thor’s Future MCU Appearances Need A Better Villain-Tone Balance Although Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Love and Thunder are divisive MCU entries, their flaws lie in execution rather than in concept. A universal threat in Phase 2 and a light post-Endgame adventure in Phase 4 are appropriate ideas. However, the balance between the proposed tone of the movies and their main villain, which drives the plot, is key to making them work.
