"While you wait and be patient, the nine worlds laugh at us!"

Thor (2011)

As with many other prominent figures in the MCU, Thor has undergone significant character development since his introduction. As such, there are elements of his early characterization that can be revisited in a different light, particularly in his first MCU appearance. After attacking the frost giants and being reprimanded by Odin, Thor impetuously declares that while Odin "Wait and [is] Be patient, the nine kingdoms laugh at us! "

Considering the personal growth in Thor's MCU story, it's fair to say that What once seemed like a good indication of his impatient and war-hungry character no longer represents him. The line is petulant and betrays Thor's violent and unruly streak, which is ultimately what leads to his banishment to Earth. While it remains a healthy indicator of what Thor was at the time, it hasn't aged as the character has matured.

"Who is Richard?"

Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Over a decade after its release, Thor: The Dark World Continues to stand out as one of the least comedic MCU movies. As well as seeing the God of Thunder face off against Malekith, it also sees Thor reunite with Jane Foster. The couple's romance faltered, Thor was later shown to be jealous of Jane, who was dating another man, responding to her brief phone call by simply claiming:Who is Richard?"

When taking into account that The dark world Mostly presents Thor in a disappointingly serious light, the quote has not aged well.

As such, the line has aged pretty poorly, especially when the ways in which society has evolved to understand problematic behaviors in relationships is taken into account.

"Eat my hammer!"

Thor: Love And Thunder (2022)

Despite considerable buzz surrounding the film's release, Thor: Love and Thunder Proved to be one of the less popular offerings from Multiverse Saga. Among other issues, the film was criticized for its tone, which took an overly comical and silly approach to a decidedly dark and emotionally rich narrative. One example of this is in his handling of Jane Foster's Mighty Thor arc, which culminated in her most triumphant moment with the catchphrase, "Eat my hammer!"

Considered alone, the catchphrase is not terribly old. However, reflecting on Love and Thunder In general, and taking into account that this moment is one of Foster's last acts before her death, and it seems even worse than it was at release. The moment feels both forced and somewhat irreverentAnd it epitomizes the tonal issues with Love and Thunder.

"I will tell father what you have here today."

Thor: The Dark World (2013)

Thor: The Dark World Has many issues, but the way in which it built on the stories of the characters was rewarding. Perhaps no character was more growth in The dark world Like Loki, who was transformed from an out-and-out villain into a careless anti-hero. Late in the movie, Loki sacrifices himself to save Thor, with the God of Thunder tearfully telling his brother:I will tell Father what you have here today,- As he dies in his arms.

Within mere minutes, the powerful emotional moment was faintly old, however. The end of the film reveals that Loki didn't die after all, and it is later revealed that he took the opportunity to exploit and impersonate Odin while leaving his father stranded on Earth. Considering what was once Loki's most heroic moment was immediately revealed as a mildly insulting fake-out, it's safe to say that Thor's emotional response hasn't aged too well.

"I lost my hammer like yesterday, so this is still fresh."

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Thor: Ragnarok Saw a Thor comic become an MCU hit, but there are some quotes that have been recontextualized with subsequent movies.

Relieved to see his fellow Avenger, Thor begins to catch the green behemoth up on the latest developments. One part of his update includes the line, "I lost my hammer like yesterday, it's still fresh."

yet Infinity War And Thor: Love and Thunder After exploring Thor's connection with Mjolnir, the line took on a new aspect. The casual way in which it's delivered doesn't match the devastation and grief Thor feels over losing MjolnirAs it is thrown in as something of an afterthought. It may not be a major issue, but it's certainly frustrating to hear Thor so flippantly announce something that he later admits is truly upsetting.

"Noobmaster? Hey, it's Thor again."

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

like Avengers: Endgame Serving as the epic and unforgettable conclusion to the MCU's Infinity War saga, it's not typically a movie remembered for its moments of comic relief. One moment that at first appeared funny at a glance, actually became subtly tragic thanks to additional context and social growth. After losing to Thanos in Infinity WarThor is shown to have gained weight, and is shown threatening a person over the internet after they insult Korg.

Thor's tirade at Noobmaster 69 once seemed quite funny, but considering the emotional weight of Thor's lowest point, makes his threat seem both singular and distinctly sad. Seeing an Avenger stoop low enough to threaten an unsuspecting gamer over a bit of name-calling is something that clearly has deeper implications for his character's mental state. Instead of being as funny as it once was, the quote is now a sad reminder of Thor's darkest hour.

"Perhaps your arm is in Valhalla."

Thor: Love And Thunder (2022)

Of the many issues raised with Thor: Love and ThunderHis overuse of comedy is typically the first among them. There are many examples of jokes that largely failed to land in the movie, but there is one that was initially funny. After discovering his long-time friend Sif bleeding and missing an arm on a battlefield, Thor declares that she will not get into Valhalla if she dies after the battle. Trying to comfort her, he offers: "Maybe your arm is in Valhalla."

Funny though the quote may seem at a glance, it's actually pretty insensitive. Considering the broader context of Thor and Sif's relationship and her condition when he finds her, this is an awkward response To a close friend who is badly injured. Although the backlash to the line may not have been entirely justified, the joke simply does not land as it was clearly intended to.

"Know your place, brother!"

Thor (2011)

As Thor is an example of some of the MCU's best character development, he has undeniably changed a huge amount since his introduction into the franchise. 2011s Thor It begins with a scene in which a bewildered Thor leads an unexpected attack on the home of the Frost Giants, causing family tension. When Loki voices his concern about their chances of success, Thor simply replies, "Know your place, brother."

The dynamic between Thor and Loki is one of the most complex in the entire MCU, but this line paints the hero in an unpleasant light. As later movies and TV shows in the MCU delve deeper into how the treatment affected Loki, this makes the quote all the more like an example of Thor being dismissive of his brother. It may have once been fairly harmless, but it has since become evidence of Thor's contribution to Loki's villainy.

Thor (2011)

There is an element of disdain in the quote that hints at Thor's sense of superiority over humanityMarking a key part of the foundations of his MCU story. When he's accustomed to the journey that sees him settle Asgardian refugees among humans, his previously imperious treatment of humanity takes on a different aspect, meaning the quote has aged poorly.

After announcing that Thanos has never fought him, Rocket corrects the God of Thunder. Thor responds by saying: "Well, he never fought me twice."This is in reference to the beginning of the movie, where Thanos' surprise attack sees him subdue Thor and kill Loki.

As funny as the quote is, it was pretty old at the time Infinity WarS credits rolled. During the climactic battle of the movie, Thanos actually faces Thor for a second time, once again beating him and achieving his ultimate goal. Thor's confident insistence that he'll beat Thanos the second time around seems particularly misplaced in hindsight, making it one of the MCU's most obvious Thor Cite what age is especially bad.
