10Selvig Is Saved By Thor
A Healing Stone Would Have Been Useful In Many Situations
" Selvig is saved by Thor " sees Erik Selvig impaled by a large sherd of glass when the Destroyer shatters a nearby windowpane . The combat injury seem to be fateful before Thor pick up a pouch ( presumably brought from Asgard by Lady Sif and the Warriors Three ) containing a Healing Stone . Thor then crushes the Isidor Feinstein Stone over Selvig ’s wound with the sherd still jutting out , completely healing Selvig and allowing him to get to his foot .
Thor also advert a Healing Stone in another deleted scene that expand on Thor ’s stay in the infirmary .
The stake - lower implications of such a medicinal marvel are hard to overstate . Given the stone sealed Selvig ’s deadly wound as quickly as Wolverine ’s healing factor , it is no admiration that the scene was swerve before it would light on Thor to become the de facto therapist of the Avengers . death like Quicksilver and the Warriors Three would have been easy to sidestep if Healing Stones were canon , which is n’t to advert the implications of the stone also get the shard of crank vanish .

9Selvig Mentions Dr. Pym
Hank Pym Is Selvig’s “Colleague”
In the talks follow the confiscation of Jane ’s work by SHIELD , Erik Selvig references two unnamed characters , include a " groundbreaker in gamma radiation " and a colleague who has " had dealings with [ SHIELD ] before . " The former is evidently guess to be Bruce Banner , while the latter could be any figure of scientist in conference with SHIELD . Yet the original book for Thor ( viaIMSDB ) is much clearer , as he mentions Dr. Pym by name , express :
Please , let me get through one of my colleague . Dr. Pym has had some dealing with these people . I ’ll e - post him and see if he can help oneself .
The melodic phrase is much word - for - word with Pym leave out , thoughHank Pym ’s MCU debutwould hap just four years by and by in 2015’sAnt - Man . At a similar age , it is no surprisal that the two SHIELD - conterminous geniuses would be well - familiarize , but it would have been anexciting MCU Easter eggto have Pym name - dropped so early inthe MCU ’s account . Why it was turn out is unclear , but perhaps Marvel was being conservative about heralding the reaching of iconic MCU bomber so betimes in the cinematic creation .
8"Smith Motors Ending"
S.W.O.R.D. Would Have Been Introduced A Decade Earlier
likewise to Hank Pym ’s name - drop curtain , an alternative ending forThorseesErik Selvig acknowledgment S.W.O.R.D. ten year before the organisation debuted inWandaVision . The alternative ending sees Jane emit a beacon to Thor from Midgard by mode of contacting him while Selvig play with S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Smith Motors service department . It is here that he says " This time , we ’re using the S.H.I.E.L.D. astrophysical records , and we cross - reference them with the S.W.O.R.D. database . "
GivenS.W.O.R.D. is the cosmic full cousin of S.H.I.E.L.D.it stands to reason that they would be postulate in the arrival of several extraterrestrials in New Mexico . Instead , the MCU sideline the arrangement throughout the Infinity Saga and the several clearly cosmic issue that transpired within it . The reasons for omitting Selvig ’s mention of S.W.O.R.D. are unclear , though it is likely Marvel did not care to overcomplicate issue by introducing both S.W.O.R.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D. in the other days of the MCU .
7Alternate Frigga Death Scene
Odin Becomes Partly Responsible For Frigga’s Death
Frigga ’s expiry inThor : The Dark Worldhappened before Thor or Odin could do anything to intervene as both entered the room in which she was fatally poke moments too recently . thing play out very differently in this deleted vista as Odin enters moment before Kurse delivers the final blow . Yet instead of using Gungnir to kill Malekith and Kurse before they can harm Frigga , Odin decide to lay down his arms in a show of peace follow a conversation about his more hawkish father . Malekith responds by order Kurse to kill Frigga .
in the end , Odin ’s loser to intervene in metre attain the same issue for Odin while also ring the implication that Malekith outmaneuvered the God of Wisdom .
While Odin no doubt sense the weight of flush it to intervene in the fit that was ultimately used , Odin ’s theatrical role electric arc would have been far more severely affected by the moment of his inactiveness . Having Odin make such a misguided judgment would have also feign his relationship with Thor , who still entered the way to bestow Malekith with his facial scar moment later . Ultimately , Odin ’s failure to intervene in time achieved the same effect for Odin while also skirting the implication that Malekith outsmart the God of Wisdom .
6"The God Of Thunder And The Sorcerer Supreme"
Thor’s MCU Destiny May Be Pretty Dark
Thor ’s meeting with Doctor Strange inThor : Ragnarokoffered one of the mostfun cameos by a unexampled MCU heroas he ask the " wizard " where he could find his don . This almost looked definitely different , as the two interact without Loki present , and with Odin in New York instead of Norway . While this set up a significant change to Odin ’s final scene in the MCU , it also ended with a handshake where Strange made a grievous prediction about Thor ’s futurity , submit in the heart of a handshake :
" I sense a great change in your future , Thor . A change you’re able to neither assure nor void . You ’ve chosen many way in your life but now only one remains . Destiny has dire architectural plan for you , my Quaker . "
This tantrum is ostensibly signify to lay up the cataclysmal conclusion ofThor : Ragnarok , where Thor accepts the demolition of Asgard . Yet Doctor Strange ’s prediction could easily be looking even further into Thor ’s future . After all , Thor : Love & Thundersaw Thor experience another swell red in the form of Jane Foster - a variety he could neither control nor ward off . The same could be aver of the Snap , which come after another of Strange ’s prediction and Thor ’s endeavor to vote out Thanos . This could meanThor 5has yet more " dire " things in store for Thor , including his dying .
Thor 5is yet to be officially confirmed by Marvel .
5"Travel To Asgard"
Bruce Banner Talks About His Father’s Death
While it help to spotlight him , Thor : Ragnarokperversely helped to hammer homeHulk ’s sidelining in the MCUas he remained a lower-ranking grapheme in Thor ’s MCU news report . This sentiment is further encapsulated in a edit scene that sees Bruce Banner and Thor having a warmness - to - heart , where Banner ’s unplumbed backstory is elaborated upon . Here , he admits shame for overlook his father ’s death after flip himself into his work too wholeheartedly . Yet , second base later , he diminishes his experience in comparability to Thor ’s .
Even so , having a little more backstory for Bruce Banner would have been even slightly more good to his overall MCU arc . Banner seeming to show rue for not being there for his father ’s demise is a substantial growth that seems to fly in the face of his mirthful book origination , where his sire ’s abuse gave rise to Hulk . finally , the scene was edit , compounding the insult toHulk and his MCU journeying .
4Hela Kills Odin
Odin’s Final Moments Do Him No Justice
The official house trailer forThor : Ragnarokdepicted one scene that look markedly different in the net gash . This was part of a deleted fit that saw Hela egress in a New York back street while Odin , who was wandering the streets in a state of disorderliness , was alive and present . This then culminate in Hela killing Odin with one of her Necroswords - which is a far cry from how thing ultimately transpirate .
Unlike the final cut , this deleted scene get Odin look weak in his final moments , decrease the report the MCU had build up for him thus far , which the fact that his hopelessness in the face of oncoming Ragnarok intensifies . Using the scene to highlight Hela by comparison , meanwhile , was avoid by the fact that Hela could so easily destroy Mjolnir . It would have been a poor reflection on Odin ’s legacy to keep the scene , which was significantly changed in the end .
3"Looking For Zeus"
Zeus' Children Are Insufferable
Thor : Love & Thundercame under attack for its overzealous trust on comedy , finally failing to tread the same fine cable asThor : Ragnarok . Meanwhile , sure scenes felt too momentaneous , such as Thor ’s visit to Omnipotence City , a realm that houses every divinity . A deleted tantrum see Thor , Valkyrie , Jane , and Korg interact directly with one of these gods , Dionysus , the Greek graven image of wine and son of Zeus . serve it to say , the scene serves two purposes : to bestow the party with information on Zeus ' whereabouts and to paint Dionysus as insufferable .
This abrasive personality would , of course , be mirrored by Zeus afterwards in the same segment . What it picture , however , is that the god of Omnipotence City " do n’t like outsider , " and with Dionysus and Zeus being two of the only other gods with which the party interacts , demonstrate that most ( if not all ) of the Supreme Being are particularly unpleasant people . In the case of Zeus ' children in particular , it have into question whether Hercules will also be as abrasive and unpleasant as his half - siblings and father . The aspect also offers a much - need deeper expression at Omnipotence City .
2"Fighting For You"
Zeus Isn’t So Insufferable
Another deleted scene , however , helps to paint Zeus in a much kinder twinkle . It show Zeus visiting Thor and Jane after their fundamental interaction in Omnipotence City with the intention of bestowing Thor with the power to attest Thunderbolt by harnessing vim and order Thor where to discover Eternity . The scene leaves the gods on amicable terms , flying in the face of theThor : Love and Thunderpost - credits scenethat mark up Zeus ' revenge via Hercules , which give a clue as to why it was blue-pencil .
This is a shame asthe prospect affords Zeus a floor of fictitious character depth of which he was deprive in his introduction . It also change the nature of Eternity , as Zeus insists he can not unite Thor as one must be " pure " so as to call , whereas no such limitation seems to be in place for the Necrosword - corrupt and murderous Gorr . This would have given Zeus - the King of the Gods on a par with Odin - a much - want boost to his MCU bequest . As it stand up , however , the god is just a baneful font of comic alleviation .
1Lena Headey’s Cut Scene
Lena Headey Was Nearly In The MCU
A lawsuit against Lena Headey by her former agency bring out that the actress had an unrevealed role inThor : Love & Thunderthat did not make the last cut ( viaVariety ) . The means was suing Headey for failing to compensate a commissioning after landing the part inThor : Love & Thunder , but Headey ’s defence indicate that it was a role that come about after being approached by Taika Waititi directly . As for what the role or the scene in which she might have look was , none of the entity regard have divulged details .
Given the fact that the entire episode felt cut down , it stand to cause thatHeadey may have been portraying another Olympian in Omnipotence City , such as Zeus ' married woman , Hera . She does , after all , have experience playing haughty royal figures from her time as Queen Cersei inGame of Thrones . Suffice it to say , however , that a fleeting cameo from Headey in theThormovie does not precisely do justice to her ability unless it was for a type that was poised to make a reappearance in the MCU down the line .
