Thor: Love and Thunder
monition ! spoiler ahead forThor : Love and Thunder
While Korg the Kronan reveals more of his extraction inThor : Love and Thunder , the movie also retcons one of his best jokes fromThor : Ragnarok . Played by director Taika Waititi , Korg became best friends with Thor after they converge on Sakaar during the Grandmaster ’s Contest of Champions . Since then , the warrior made of perishable rock has been one of the God of Thunder ’s most truehearted friend - even though his history has now become somewhat confusing .
DuringThor : Ragnarok , Thor was rent captive by the Grandmaster after inadvertently land on the catch - all humanity of Sakaar . It was here that Thor met Korg , a fellow captive made to fight in the Contest , with Korg efficaciously serving as a replacement for the warrior Three . The Kronan introduced himself and Miek , a Sakaaran insectoid warrior with knives for hands . When Thor inquire Korg how he cease up as the Grandmaster ’s prisoner , Korg hilariously claimed that he had tried to embark on a revolution but " did n’t impress enough pamphlets . " As a solvent , the only one to show up were his mother and her boyfriend ( whom Korg hates ) . It ’s a hilarious introduction to Taika Waititi ’s Korg , who cursorily became a dear part of the Thor - mythos .

While Korg is still by Thor ’s side inThor : Love and Thunder , a new reveal about Korg ’s parent completely ignores the tract joke fromRagnarok . While speaking withTessa Thompson ’s King Valkyrie , Korg reveals that he was born to two don who held hand in a river of lava . While this is more exact to the cartoon strip with Kronans canonically being an all - male mintage , it contradicts the line about Korg having a female parent . As such , it looks as though one of Korg ’s good trick from the first time he cope with Thor has been effectively retconned to give him ( and his metal money ) more truth in wish to their Marvel comics counterparts .
While it ’s fine to remediate what was probable a fun spot of improvisation from Waititi without knowing the full details about Kronans , it seems more uncloudedness could have easily been cater in this instance . Korg , for example , could have been adopt by a mother of a different metal money later on . Yet , at the instant , Korg now has two ancestry tale in the MCU that collide . That being order , Thor : Love and Thunder’sendingsees Korg in a family relationship with a fellow Kronan ( call Dwayne ) who also make a baby together by stand in a river of lava . As a upshot , it certainly seems as though the Korg own two forefather is the origin the MCU is going with go onward .
All in all , this new accuracy to the pre - established comics canon is a good thing . The problem , however , is that the MCU ’s latest comic - precise execution has issue forth at the expense of creating disarray with what was said by Korg inThor : Ragnarok . While that could have been easily remedied with a single added line inThor : Love and Thunder , perhaps Korg will be able to take in up the question of his heritage once and for all if and when he clear an appearing in a potentialThor 5 .
