Avengers: Infinity War
The original script forAvengers : Infinity Warcould have completely break Thor ’s news report forAvengers : Endgame , as it omitted one key scene . eternity Warwas the first part of the conclusion of the MCU ’s Infinity saga , and the heroes were face very in high spirits stakes . As the original six Avengers had been around for almost ten years at this spot , bothInfinity WarandEndgamewere key to wrapping up some of their stories , or at least giving them some huge character - defining arcs . The latter was the case with Thor , but his tale was n’t the same in the original draft .
Infinity Warbegan by killing both Thor ’s best friendHeimdall ( Idris Elba)and his crony Loki ( Tom Hiddleston ) , which sic the nose drops god up for an emotional drive throughout the two film .

The original script forInfinity Wardidn’t admit the tantrum with Eitri on Nivadellir , which bring a lot to Thor’sEndgamestory , as well as toInfinity Warin full general . rather , the writers had a scene whereRocket and Thorteam up against a huge serpent . This would have in all probability been the Midgard snake Jörmungandr from Norse mythology , who is said to loose Ragnarok when it releases its tail end . The writers realise this prospect come across as too dangerous undertaking - similar , without any real heart or serve any theatrical role purpose , and thus they replaced it with the scene on Nivadellir , which worked perfectly for Thor’sEndgamestory .
Given thatThor : Ragnarokchanged a circumstances about the doomsday of Norse mythology , Jörmungandr ’s inclusion could have been a gracious nod to Thor ’s root . However , it would have come at the price of his character arc . Eitri and Nivadellir represent the extremities of Thanos ' tyranny , and it was the first literal glimpse of how easily Thanos can , and will , pass over out an entire major planet . Thanos’Endgameplanoperates under the guise that wiping out one-half of the population will mean there would last be enough resources to go around . This call up into question if Thanos is in truth all evil , but Eitri ’s grievous report establish that he is . Nivadellir ’s fate is made risky when Eitri watchword at Thor , '' You were supposed to protect us . '' Thor ’s central part , in the MCU and Norse belief , is that he is the ultimate guardian of the nine realm , and Nivadellir is essentially evidence that he did n’t properly accomplish his duties , which contributed to Thor’sEndgamebreakdown and then the full - roach introspection loosen inThor : Love and Thunder . None of this would have hail to realisation , though , had the writer restrain the Jörmungandr scene instead .
Thor ’s guilt prompt him into taking the full force of a wiz just to exert thepowerful weapon Stormbreaker , the ultimate symbolization of protection , and the action almost contributes to his penance for the tragedy of Nivadellir . Yet , when the time comes to end Thanos for commodity , he tries to revel in the moment , which ultimately leads to his bankruptcy . The guilt feelings Thor endure with inAvengers : Endgamebegan with what he witnessed on Nivadellir inAvengers : Infinity War , and from this , jump his surprising and strong character arc .
