The Original Avengers: Who Will Survive Thor’s Potential Demise in "Avengers: Doomsday"?
Hold onto your capes, Marvel fans! As we gear up for the release of "Avengers: Doomsday," speculation is heating up about the fates of our beloved original Avengers. With Thor’s narrative arc seemingly nearing its end, we might be faced with a shocking shift in the superhero lineup that has captivated audiences for over a decade.
The Countdown of Our Heroes
If we take the theory that Thor may bite the dust in this upcoming film seriously, the ramifications for the original Avengers squad could be monumental. Thirteen years after the groundbreaking “The Avengers” ignited the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) into box office history, we could soon find ourselves with a drastically reduced roster.
Let’s kick it off with the hard truths:
- Black Widow? Gone. Her heroic sacrifice for the Soul Stone in "Endgame" was one for the ages.
- Iron Man? Dusted. His ultimate act of heroism against Thanos showcased one of the franchise’s most poignant moments.
- Captain America? Retired! Steve Rogers opted for a life of bliss with Peggy Carter instead of continuing to fight.
With three of the original Avengers’ stories wrapped up, we now focus on the fate of the remaining trio.
A Shrinking Legacy
Enter the latest theories suggesting that Thor (portrayed by Chris Hemsworth) could follow suit, leaving the roster down to only two active heroes—Hawkeye and the Hulk. Talk about a plot twist!
Historically, Hawkeye’s story has often been overshadowed. Lacking solo fame in the MCU and more known for his training missions (hello, Kate Bishop!), he may soon be the last of the original Avengers with any semblance of an active storyline. Meanwhile, the Hulk remains a Complex character, always playing a supporting role in giant team-ups rather than getting his own narrative shine.
The Bigger Picture
If Thor does kick the cosmic bucket, it raises eyebrows about Steve Rogers’ choice to retire while remaining alive. This juxtaposition of endings—three deaths versus one retirement—would spotlight the notion that Rogers, amid all conflict, genuinely deserved a happy ending. It might just make audiences reconsider what we thought we knew about each character’s arc in the grand tapestry of the MCU.
What’s Next for the MCU?
As we head toward "Avengers: Doomsday," the stakes are higher than ever. If Thor’s demise does pan out, it signals not just the end of an era, but a new beginning for the next chapter of Marvel heroes.
Yet, the lingering question remains: if the original team reduces to the likes of Hawkeye and Hulk, will the MCU face the awkward scenario of relying on two of its most consistently overlooked heroes for its future adventures?
While we can’t know for sure what “Avengers: Doomsday” has in store for us, one thing’s for certain—whether Thor lives or dies, the MCU will continue to keep us on the edge of our seats. Grab your popcorn, because this saga is far from over!
