The continuation of Thor's love affair with Jane doesn't quite gel with the intergalactic action as the God of Thunder fights Dark Elves across dimensions to stop Malekith, a cosmic plot that ends up being rather forgettable. Meanwhile, the Dark Elf Lord Malekith (Christopher Eccleston - who later admitted to hating the film), sought the power of the Aether to use during a cosmic event called the Convergence, which would put the Nine Realms under his dominion. The Dark World reversed the original Thor's fish-out-of-water premise this time, Foster, who was infected by the power of the Aether, is brought to Asgard by Thor, where she meets his parents Odin and Frigga (Rene Russo), who is killed off. It's no surprise that the best Thor movie is also one of the best movies in the MCU at large. And yet, Thor is the MCU character with arguably the most interesting franchise precisely because of the extensive and varied journey he's had. Every Thor film until Thor: Love and Thunder had a different director who altered the tone of the saga, especially Taika Waititi, who upended Thor's universe completely while delivering the most popular and financially successful installment, Thor: Ragnarok. Unlike Iron Man and Captain America, who each had two films directed by Jon Favreau and the Russo Brothers, respectively, the Thor movies have lacked overall consistency.

Thor, however, was initially considered a dicey proposition as he introduced magic, the Norse gods, space travel, and other fanciful elements to the MCU. Iron Man's real-world-based technology was the center of the MCU while Captain America was both a throwback to its past and its moral compass. After the blockbuster success of Iron Man in 2008 opened the door to more MCU movies that built to 2012's The Avengers, Thor was one of the anchors of the franchise, along with Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.
