How JANE Fixes the Hammer and Becomes WORTHY in THOR- LOVE AND THUNDER
Thor: Love and Thunder is almost here, and we're going to see Jane Foster become the Mighty Thor in the MCU. But how does Jane get Mjolnir? How does this connect to Thor's personal journey, and how was the hammer repaired? We have answers.
In the previous Thor Love Thunder trailer we got a glimpse of Jane Foster as the mighty Thor, and in this new awesome trailer we get to see a lot more of Jane in action. But the trailer doesn't give us any hints about how Jane becomes the mighty Thor, and not only that, but we have to talk about why the hammer choose Jane and doesn't go back to the war.
Also, how the MCU will address the tragic aspects of Jane becoming the mighty Thor, and that is for cancer, so let's talk about how all of this can play out in LOVE AND THUNDER .
Stories From Comics
Thor - " Never forget your first" .
Now before we get into how all this is going to play out in the movie, we have to talk about the story from the comics where Jane becomes the mighty Thor. Jane becomes worthy of the honor after Thor loses his worthiness.
That goes down in the original sense of the storyline or Nick Fury whispers to Thor that Gorr But the butcher was right and Gorr The God butcher will be the villain in Thor LOVEE AND THUNDER.
The Thing That Gorr was right about was that all gods are selfish and they just ruined things in the universe.
Gorr -"_ The only ones who god's care about is themselves_"
Deep down Thor kind of agree with what Gore was saying . So he loses his confidence in his godhood and feels unworthy. That makes him unworthy of Mjöllnir.
By the way this story come from Jason Aaron story line is one of the best in the comics, and I really hope that as MCU will adapt some of it for the film.
How Jane became worthy of Mjöllnir
After Thor becomes unworthy. Jane becomes the mighty Thor, and she proves that she is worthy of that title many times over , with her relics and her sacrifices, unfortunately becoming the mighty For Jane, Thor is both a blessing and a curse for him because she was diagnosed with breast cancer. When she is in her god form, her cancer is completely gone, but once she reverts back to human form, the cancer gets far worse.
So being in the Thor is literally killing her, and yet Jane keeps putting her life on the line to help others and be the hero.
And Taika Waititi confirmed that the movie will be sticking pretty closely to Jane's storyline in the comics, but clearly some things need to be adjusted for eleventh honor to work with the story in the movie .
How The Mighty Thor Will be done in The MCU ?
How Mjöllnir is Fixed By Jane ?
Well basically, let's address that. We take a close look at the hammer and it's clear that the hammer isn't actually fixed.
We can still see the cracks from it being destroyed, so it's not exactly reforged. It's more like the hammer pieces have been glued together, I guess by some combination of science or magic.
- Who's Jane From Thor Love And Thunder ?
Jane is a very smart woman. She's a leading astrophysicist and astronomer, and she's an expert on all things related to Asgard.
She is the first human mortal who probably ever set foot on the ground of Asgard. All of those things are the reason why she received a Nobel Prize.
Jane worked on the shield for a while, so she probably picked up some tech that will come in handy when fixing a broken cosmic Hammer .
Jane will probably combine earth-based tech with Asgardian magic to reform the broken pieces.
Well, it's not the same as forging a magical hammer. The power of dying sun , Jane will figure out how to reforge Mjöllnir, which is far more complicated than supergluing the hammer pieces back together , because this is a magical hammer with all unique properties that need to work after the hammer is pieced together again.
But I'm sure they'll make it work with nanotech, vibranium quantum energy, and as guardian magic tech.
Why Jane didn't come to New Asgard sooner To Help Thor
If you're wondering why Jane didn't come to New As Guard sooner, like when Thor was suffering from severe guilt depression, it's because Jane was dusted .
Jane - " _ it's been 3 or 4 years since he last saw Thor_ ". Thor - "_ 80 years 7 months and 6 days._".
This is why Jane says it's been 3 or 4 years since he last saw Thor. Also, remember that many Asgardians were killed by Hela, and then half of them were killed by Thanos. and Mjöllnir was destroy right next to new Asgard . So after the Asgardian arrived in Norway they probably collected the pieces of the Mjöllnir and keep it somewhere safe .
TO BE continue .... Comment down bellow .
How Jane Got her Powers ?
Exactly !! As for how Jane got her source powers, it's simple. Remember how when Steve left Mjöllnir, he basically became Thor , Well, you got source powers.
Thor-Infinity War : " Nah , Keep the little one ".
But let's not forget that lifting the owner is not something that just anyone can do.
How did Jane become worthy ?
Only those who are worthy can use the hammer, so how did Jane become worthy ? Well, I think there's something going on with Mjöllnir and lifting it is now more than just being worthy, because in the trailer Mjöllnir seemingly rejects Thor in favor of Jane.
What the Reason Why Mjöllnir choose Jane ?
The reason why Mjöllnir choose Jane as the new Thor in the comics , is that Thor became unworthy, but in the MCU Thor is still worthy and I doubt that the comics unworthy Thor storyline is going to happen in LOVE and Thunder.
After failing in Infinity War , Thor felt unworthy , let himself go, and became a little weird , crazy adventure inside.
During the time high Thor got a pep talk from his mom, allowing him to achieve his redemption arc, and him being able to summon Mjöllnir made him feel worthy again.
Which was a type of validation. It was a sign of his failures are forgiven and now he can forge a new path for himself and remember that Ragnarok was about the understanding that he's not defined by his hammer .
Love and Thunder will explore Thor's discovering who he really is as well as him re-forging his whole identity. Thor moved on from his trusty hammer, putting his past purpose in the rear view, stepping away from all the things that defined him for over 1500 years.
In a way, Mjöllnir has become redundant in Thor's life, and it's not because he got a storm breaker, it's because for such a long time, Thor tried to satisfy Oden, trying to be just like his father.
The worthiness stipulation of the hammer represents Odin's expectations of worthiness.
What can we learn about Thor Hammer Destruction
Now, there is something important to remember about the hammer's destruction. The last time the door swung the hammer, it flew directly into Helen's hand, and Helen's was able to stop the hammer because she is the hammer's original wielder.
I mean, we are talking about one of the most unique and powerful tools in the universe, a sentence tool, so maybe when Jane puts the pieces together, the hammer will be confused.
It might even have some resentment toward her. And yes, I know how stupid that might sound, but hear me out just for a second.
Mjöllnir Thor Hammer Mystery
This is a Taika Waititi movie, so things are going to get hilariously strange and emotionally tragic in the most fun way. If Mjöllnir is sentients , then on some level it's capable of thought and maybe even some feelings.
The hammer is going to feel rejected by the store because the god of thunder moved on the door and never came back to collect the broken pieces.
Instead, he got himself a new weapon. So I guess Milner has some abandonment issues and maybe it's see's Thor as a deadbeat dad who left him broken for 5 years.
"It sounds like you have a pretty special and intimate relationship with this hammer and that losing was almost comparable to losing a loved one. It's a nice way of putting it" .
What's Thor Love and Thunder About .
And Love and Thunder seems to be about characters reforming their lives or finding a new purpose. Jane is dealing with cancer, and she gets a new chance at life by becoming the mighty Thor , Jane appears to be dealing with some issues as well, clearly bored to death by the politics on earth, so she'll revert back to her previous ways and eventually learn the responsibility of being the king of Asgar, and maybe Mjöllnir will get its own re-forging arc both figuratively and literally.
The real reason why Mjöllnir choose Jane
There are only a few cities left, and with Jane, the hammer could find a new purpose, which is why Mjöllnir choose her over the store chain. She seeks to build bridges between worlds and rounds, which works thematically because you know a hammer doesn't have to be just a weapon made for smashing things; it can also fix and build.
We all know that love is the most powerful cosmic energy in the universe, and that love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space with that connection with the warmest feelings.
Is Mjöllnir Choose Jane because of her cancer
So when she rebuilds Mjöllnir and maybe the hammer is confused and broken, the hammer clings to Jane because it recognizes her as someone trustworthy, and that makes Jane worthy of the hammer's account. Also, the hammer could sense Jane's cancer and would have this need to protect her life.
How Jane got cancer
There is a precedent in the MCU for how Jane might have gotten cancer, and I think it could be an interesting direction for the story . Its was the consequences of Thor using the reality stone to bring her to Asgar which resulted in cosmic radiation .
So far in the MCU characters who where introduce to the infinity stone either got Godly powers or they where deep fry by the stone energy .
Carol got her powers from the space stone . Well, actually it wasn't even the stone. She was really exposed to the energy of the tesseract and still she is so powerful that she can fight Thanos while he's in possession of all 6 stones.
Wandavision unlock her powers with the mind stone. I'm not sure what happened with PAHO. I don't even think the Marvel studios know at this point. I guess he got powers of the mind stone like Carol or he was secretly a witch too.
Did jane got her power from the reality stone.
Jane exhibited no powers after being exposed to the reality stone by factions defending the stone . And instead of being endowed with abilities, she was cursed with cancer.
The reason I'm bringing this up is because I believe the Jane having slightly different powers will make her more than just a female version of Thor.
Of course, the mighty Thor is great because of who she is and not simply because she has Thor powers.
So why not use that as a way to add something interesting to the mighty Thor that could turn Jane into one of the most powerful being in the MCU.
