Warning : Minor plunderer for War of The Realms # 6
TheWar of The Realmshas alreadyclaimed Thor ’s weapon system , but to last defeat his enemies and accept his destiny as the next King of Asgard … the God of Thunder is giving up one of his eye . And unlike Marvel ’s movies , Thor ’s eye is gonefor secure .
WhileThor ’s father Odinmay be renowned as ' the one - eyed King of Asgard , ' devotee of the comics have known what the future hold for some clip . Ever since writer Jason Aaron united the present day Thor with his older , ancient self , missing an centre like his old human beings . The motion of how and when Thor physically transforms into his future self has been lurking in the background ever since . But with theWar of the Realmsthreatening to destroy all that ’s good in Marvel ’s Universe , Thor has move to extreme measures . He’sreplaced his weapon system with an Asgardian guided missile destroyer raise . Now Thor ’s pass on up the eye .
gratefully for those Marvel motion-picture show lover who have n’t kept up with the comedian , this historic moment in Thor ’s living is easy enough to explicate on its own . In case anyone was ever curious , Odin in reality lost his eye as a sacrifice , traded for wiseness . In search of such ' true vision , ' Thor explains , Odin impaled himself on Yggdrasil , The World Tree . There he stayed hang until he died , lost his centre , and gain the greatness of the All - Father before being converted . So with no other options left … Thor does exactly that .
The task is a lot hard – and a LOT hotter – for Thor , since The World Tree was thought to be ruin as part of the universe - wide warfare … until a seed of Asgard took root in Earth ’s Sun and refuse to die . With help from his friends , Thor ax his foot to the World Tree , and begs to see how this war can be won . It ’s an unforgettable sight render by Russell Dauterman and Matthew Wilson , as Thor ’s clothing , armor , and hammering melt away leaving only a burning god in the heart of the sun . And that ’s right where the God of Thunder was left in the last pages ofWar of The Realms # 5 .
It has been evident for months that only Thor would be able to gain ground this struggle against Malekith and his Dark Elves , with Thor openly incognizant of how he was endure to do it . So it ’s only right that , in the new trailer of theWar of The Realms ' last issue , Thor remembers the Cuban sandwich his father used to be , and follow his lead . Still , we ’re unforced to wager that deciding to go through with it , and in reality hold one reverent eye burned out of your skull are two entirely unlike things .
Fans of the MCU may have already seen this storyline play out inThor : Ragnarok , where the god of scag drop off his heart in struggle with Hela . But in a strange twist , it was really this comic story that the movie was cite … despite pass off first . Director Taika Waititi pointed to Jason Aaron’sUnworthy Thorseries as an inspiration , as the mirthful serial which saw the champion unite with his future self : the onetime King Thor who is have his own comic series . King Thor would n’t divulge what case be him his limb and eye , but it was clearly circumstances , no matter how it ended up happening .
WhileAvengers : Infinity WarandEndgamesoon erased any meaning behind Thor ’s eye loss , or Ascension of Christ to his father ’s part , that wo n’t be the case in Marvel Comics . The only doubtfulness is just how much his older self has n’t revealed , and how much more Thor may need to sacrifice before the War of The Realms is truly over …
