Thor (MMU film)

Thor is a 2019 fanfilm created by Max Carroll. The fourth entry into the Marvel Cineplastic Universe, the film explores the escapades of the Asgardian God of Thunder, Thor, as he must stop his evil half-brother, Loki, from destroying all of the Nine Realms.

Plot
In 943 AD, Odin, the Almighty King of Asgard, wages war against the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and their leader Laufey, to prevent them from conquering the nine realms, starting with Earth. The Asgardian warriors defeat the Frost Giants and seize the source of their power, the Containment of Ancient Winters.

Almost 1,100 years in the present, Odin's first son, Thor, prepares to ascend to the throne of Asgard, but is interrupted when Frost Giants attempt to retrieve the Containment. Against Odin's orders, Thor travels to Jotunheim to confront Laufey, accompanied by his brother Loki, childhood friends Sif, Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun. A battle ensues until Odin intervenes to save the Asgardians, destroying the fragile truce between the two races. For Thor's arrogance and recklessness, Odin strips his son of his almightly power and exiles him to Earth as a mortal, accompanied by his hammer Mjolnir, now protected by an enchantment that allows only the worthy to wield it, in order to learn a lesson in humility. Thor lands in New Mexico, where astrophysicist Dr. Jane Foster, her assistant Darcy Lewis, and mentor Dr. Erik Selvig, find him. The local populace finds Mjolnir and tries to lift it, only to be met with failure, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson soon commandeers before forcibly acquiring Jane's data about the wormhole that delivered Thor to Earth. Thor, having discovered Mjolnir's nearby location, seeks to retrieve it from the facility that S.H.I.E.L.D. quickly constructed but he finds himself unable to lift it, and is captured. With Selvig's help, he is freed and resigns himself to exile on Earth as he develops a romance with Jane.

Loki discovers that he is actually Laufey's son, adopted by Odin after the war ended. A weary Odin falls into the deep "Odinsleep" to recover his strength. Loki seizes the throne in Odin's stead and offers Laufey the chance to kill Odin and retrieve the Containment. Sif, Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun, unhappy with Loki's rule, attempt to return Thor from exile, convincing Heimdall, gatekeeper of the Bifröst—the means of traveling between the Nine Realms—to allow them passage to Earth. Aware of their plan, Loki sends the Destroyer, a seemingly indestructible automaton composed of the same metal that Mjolnir is made of, to pursue them and kill Thor. The quartet find Thor, but the Destroyer attacks and defeats them, prompting Thor to offer himself instead. Struck by the Destroyer and near death, Thor's sacrifice proves him worthy enough to wield Mjolnir. The hammer returns to him, restoring his powers and armor and enabling him to defeat the Destroyer. Kissing Jane goodbye and vowing to return, he and his fellow Asgardians leave to confront Loki.

In Asgard, Loki betrays and kills Laufey, revealing his true plan to use Laufey's attempt on Odin's life as an excuse to destroy Jotunheim with the Bifröst Bridge, thus proving himself worthy to his adoptive father. Thor arrives and fights Loki before destroying the Bifröst Bridge to stop Loki's plan, stranding himself in Asgard. Odin awakens and prevents the half-brothers from falling into the abyss created in the wake of the bridge's destruction, but Loki allows himself to fall when Odin rejects his pleas for approval. Thor makes amends with Odin, admitting he is not ready to be king. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Jane and her team search for a way to open a portal to Asgard using cosmic radiation.

In a mid-credits scene, Nick Fury reviews the footage over the course of the past few years, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America, and Thor, and determines that "his team has been assembled."

In a post-credits scene, Selvig has been taken to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, where Nick Fury opens a briefcase and asks him to study a mysterious cube-shaped object,[b] which Fury says may hold untold power. An invisible Loki prompts Selvig to agree, and he does.
