Love & Thunder Makes 1 Dark Thor Theory Even Better

screenrant.com:

After the events of Thor: Love and Thunder, one theory concerning the true purpose of Thor's ax, Stormbreaker, has become even better, and even more tragic. For most of his time in the MCU, Thor has wielded his enchanted hammer, Mjolnir, a weapon synonymous with the God of Thunder. However, the events of Thor: Ragnarok led to the Marvel superhero acquiring a larger and seemingly more powerful weapon that might have originally had a darker fate in the MCU.

In every one of his MCU appearances until Ragnarok, Thor was always seen with his trusty hammer, Mjolnir. In that movie, his sister Hela, the Goddess of Death, demonstrates her power by obliterating the hammer, leaving Thor without his iconic weapon. After Thanos's attack at the beginning of Avengers: Infinity War, Thor traveled to Nidavellir and met with Eitri the Dwarf, who created a new, similar weapon. Thor then rejoined his fellow Avengers with Stormbreaker, a massive ax that can also harness the power of the Bifrost.

One theory arose after Stormbreaker's creation in Avengers: Infinity War suggesting the ax was originally intended as a weapon powerful enough to kill Thor. This may seem outlandish since it seems to fit so well with his new larger-than-life character, but Eitri's description of the weapon certainly suggests some deeper purpose. He states that Stormbreaker is "a king's weapon, meant to be the greatest in Asgard,"implying that the ax could overwhelm any other weapon, even Mjolnir. Thor: Love and Thunder ends with Stormbreaker being passed to Thor's new adopted daughter, Love, which makes the theory all the more tragic.

Since the mold for Stormbreaker was already available to Eitri
