Film Theory: 3 Thor Love And Thunder Theories (Thor Trailer)

That awkward moment when MatPat theorizes a plot that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual film, but would’ve been leagues better than the actual movie we got😬😂

I think the best explanation for “sweet child o mine” is Gorr trying to save his kids and wife from a famine by praying to the gods, to which the gods don’t respond and his family dies, hence the following lyric “where do we go now”. It sets up a connection with the villain and is a lot more logical for the movie.

I actually think it references Thor's daughter, as in the Next Avengers. A new generation of heroes after all the contracts expired. Hawkeye explores a new generation rising as well.

I always wait to watch these til after the movie, especially since he’s been spot on recently with marvel. But happy to see he’s dead wrong with this one!

I just wanna point something out. Children in Viking times actually had their last names as their fathers first name and then "son" or "dottir" depending on if they're a boy or a girl. So Thors last name is Odinson. So calling Angela Odindottir actually isn't just lame and unoriginal it's also historically accurate! The uhh... the vikings were not known for their subtlety Edit: as people in the comments pointed out these naming conventions don’t apply in modern times in most Scandinavian countries. Hope that clarifies things!

Fun fact: The “where do we go now?” break in the actual song Sweet Child of Mine exists because when they were writing the song they weren’t really sure what to do after the guitar solo ended.

Ahh, I love watching these videos after the movie releases. Maybe next time Mat

Mat pat’s problem was assuming that the MCU is capable of writing a good story nowdays

The "blonde hair, blue eyes, girl from Thor's childhood" could potentially refer to Amora the Enchantress too. Which would be less crazy than the Phoenix and Angela theories

16:35 “Cap is gone, Tony is gone, Natasha is gone” RIP. It’s even sadder when you’re being reminded that they’re gone.

Sweet Child of Mine could also be in reference to the loss of Gorr's family and unborn child. Just another theory that kinda fits, in a grim way. "Where do we go now?" could be in reference to Gorr's decent into madness after so much tragedy.

Soooo right about the song. Sooo wrong about the theory.... 😂

I love the trailers like this that don’t tell us too much but still leave enough room to theorize and get hyped about the movie

To be fair a lot of people immediately pointed out that the song had a deeper meaning to the movie. My favorite being that the song Is from Gorr's point of view

I thought the song was in reference to Thor's daughter/s because he meets his descendants in the storyline they're adapting in this movie (three women), thanks to time travel shenanigans. The movie could introduce a child he had and didn't know about (maybe with Lady Syf) or outright have his daughter from the future show up.

theory was so close you even brought up who the sweet child is and were correct about how the song matters

As much as I would love to see Angela make a film appearance, Hela kind of already took her role last film. So if she does appear, it’ll likely be with an altered backstory.

Fun fact: the whole "Where do we go now?" thing came up when they were first writing and practicing the song and couldn't figure out what to put in the bridge. They started improvising and throwing spaghetti at the wall and the in joke stuck and made it into the final product.

Coming back to this after just watching the movie. Boy was this theory wayyy off... I still love the passion and effort you put into the videos Matt.

His theory was far better than the actual movie, someone make this theory happen
