2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder was not a good film. However, as a comic book fan there are numerous elements of the film I do enjoy. Christian Bale was absolutely wasted as Gorr the God Butcher, but he was awesome to watch. It was nice to see Eternity in live action. It’s disappointing that the mid-credit scene featuring the first MCU appearance of Hercules has gone nowhere since. Still, it was great to see Hercules. I have been reading about Hercules and Thor in the comics for decades. Hercules made his debut in Journey Into Mystery Annual #1.
Seeing Hercules, Zeus and the Greek gods in a Thor film may have been confusing to casual readers. So, I will briefly explain the rivalry between Thor and Hercules in the comic books.
