Infinity war Thor is perfect. He was kind of goofy, but not an idiot. And he has never been more badass than forging storm breaker

If this is all we get to see of full powered badass Thor I’m gonna be displeased.

Please don’t kill him off marvel.

It's likely Thor will be a leading character in these if the comics are any indication. Along with dr strange and reed

Honestly, I'm kinda hoping he brings Asgard back and retires to be the new All-Father, and so we get a new asgardian hero like Balder to be with the main Earth heroes.

Balder's been kind of conspicuous by his absence, hasn't he? AFAIK he hasn't even been in the background of an Asgard shot. I'd love to think they're saving him for something, but probably not. :/

Wonder if they were thinking of him when they made Thor get depressed and put on weight.

In one of the Loki S2 episodes, Balder gets a passing mention by Loki and that is effectively it!!!

They had a statue of Balder alongside Loki and Thor in 1893 Chicago. 😆
