While 2008 is the year the Marvel Cinematic Universe was born with "Iron Man", 2011 is when it began to take real shape with the release of "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "Thor". Strangely, though, the origin story for the God of Thunder doesn't receive the plaudits it merits; instead, it's lost to the annals of time and has become a footnote in comic book movie history.
When it comes to choosing a "Thor" film to watch, the original movie is often swept aside for the chuckles of 2017's "Thor: Ragnarok", or the cackles of 2022's "Thor: Love and Thunder". (Obviously, no one picks 2013's "The Dark World"; we pretend that one doesn't exist, and for good reason).
