ROAD TO DOOMSDAY!

Thor: The Dark World is not high up on the MCU. It’s an okay movie that had an outsized role in Endgame . It was the beginning of when Thor lost everything, it starts with his mother. Now in Endgame , he was able to have the pleasant conversation he never had with her in order to straighten out his life and gain perspective on what a hero truly is.

More on that later. Thi...
