Does Thor: Love & Thunder's Death Create An Infinity War Plot Hole?
Warning: Contains spoilers for Thor: Love and Thunder
Thor: Love & Thunder gives viewers a deeper look into the lives of MCU Gods, but this development could also create an interesting plot hole for Avengers: Infinity War. Thor's latest stint in the MCU sees him go toe-to-toe with the menacing Gorr the God Butcher, a being who leaves a trail of dead Gods in his wake. But one death at the climax of Love & Thunder has left many wondering what the in-universe rules are when it comes to the demises of these powerful characters.
Throughout Thor: Love & Thunder, viewers are introduced to many new Gods in the MCU, with a plethora of them being involved in scenes taking place in Omnipotence City. The Gods feel safe in the city from the murder spree of Gorr the God Butcher, a man who renounced the Gods after losing his daughter, and they are apathetic to Thor's pleas for an army, leaving the God of Thunder and his rag-tag team to take on the Gorr themselves. While not many Gods are seen killed on-screen, it's shown that when they do die, the Gods seem to evaporate into gold dust. This was previously shown most clearly in Thor: Ragnarok, when Odin died and immediately turned to gold dust, just as Jane Foster does. The effects here cause questions about Gods seen in past MCU projects and their deaths.
