Avengers: Endgame
Marvel has putThorthrough Hell in his last two movies , but withAvengers : Endgamethe god of thunder is once again the butt of the joke - assuming fan have caught it in the film ’s marketing .
We ’re not referring to Thor ’s standoff with Captain Marvel , or any other clip of him in the earlyAvengers : Endgametrailers or television spot . Believe it or not , the joke is render in so subtle a fashion , fans likely never even noticed it in the poster forAvengers : Endgame . As the likes of Iron Man , Captain America , and the quietus of the Avengers ( andBlack Panther ’s Okoye ) resist united and ready to take down Thanos … Thor’sartificialeye seems to be blinding him to the existent threat .
To some movie rooter , there is always a bit of comedy to the " grouping " poster for a Marvel dismission , photoshop - Ping River just about every unmarried casting member into one monolithic batch of celebrity , regardless of weighing machine or setting . Thesingle hero posters forAvengers : Endgamecapture the flick ’s serious bet , including Thor ’s stoic facial expression concerned only with"Avenging the Fallen . “We do n’t think that title includes his missing eye , destroy in his fight with Hela and now replaced with an orange - colour , robotic one Rocket Raccoon had lying around .
Taking a closer look at the group shoot in theAvengers : Endgameposter , it seems Thor ’s right centre mightnotbe as sharp as the original . perchance he actually WASaiming for Thanos ' headthis whole time … ?
As literally every other hero on the poster with their optic undefended ( Okoye ’s face and eye are downcast in grief ) is have in the menace off the post horse to the left , set up weapon and preparing for conflict … Thor obviously did n’t get the memorandum . That detail is unimaginable to interpret as anything but a glossa - in - impertinence allusion to his faulty eye , which just so happen to be the one fail to read what everyone else is focused on . And while we ca n’t say that the squad who designed thisEndgameposter is the same one creditworthy forthe secretStar war : The upgrade of Skywalkerposter joke , it ’s a clear indication thatMarvel pic Easter Egg huntersnow have to include the notice , as well .
Not every Marvel character could be twit in such playful style , especially not where a forcible injury or prosthetic is touch on ( we do n’t anticipate War Machine ’s spine injury to be explore , permit alone joked about ) . But coming out ofThor : RagnarokandInfinity War , Thor has established himself as the one hero unforced to express joy at his losses , his test , and his injury . So it seems curiously meet – perhaps even poetical , considering his cinematic refresh with Director Taika Waititi – that his home among the other Avengers to save the universe is a perfect conniption . But take a feeling closer , and he ’s delivering a punchline promise spit - take - inducing funniness in summation to the cosmic stakes .
The potential for eye - based drollery was almost immediately tossed away when Rocket develop the aforementioned substitute . And while the Thor / Guardians of the Galaxy squad - up is primarily remembered for producingThor ’s new ax , Stormbreaker , any character to Thor ’s flaws – or just the one – is welcome . Then again , perhaps Thor is just assay toavoid theAvengers : Endgamespoilersalong with the rooter .
