Thor’s New Power Has MCU-Breaking Potential
Warning: Spoilers for Thor: Love and Thunder!
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) exhibited new powers in Thor: Love and Thunder that have the potential to be MCU-breaking in nature.

After a slight defeat that resulted in an injured Valkyrie and weakened Jane, Thor elected to rescue the kids and stop Gorr on his own.
