Thor was an arrogant, spoiled brat in the beginning and in Endgame he was a broken man. It didn't have the necessary depth, since it's Marvel, but if you subtract the comic part, he was a very sad figure.

^ yeah, but even then, you still know he’s a Demi god and still has powers and all. Just a matter of using the force to get his hammer.

I thought it was hilarious just now seeing it.

Decker beat you to it two years earlier and with the more appropriate character for the joke

Re: Which MCU character grew as a character, the most, in the series?

I don't know how I missed this thread from a couple years back. I agree that the most happens to Thor in the MCU and he is a very tragic character. He's lost the most out of any character in the Avengers. So through the events that happened to him he's changed the most.

However, I voted for Wanda after watching WandaVision. I just absolutely love that series and the character development they afforded Wanda was incredible to see. She went from a, "oh yeah I forgot she was in this." kind of character to a "OMG I can't wait to see more of her story." kind of character. Her journey through that series was really incredible to see.

But to me that makes his story even more tragic. Put yourself in his shoes, wouldn't you trade all the powers of a demigod if it meant getting your family and home back? It's like Citizen Kane, at the end of it all, all the money and power in the world doesn't mean anything compared to a happy memory.

Most of them have powers though. It's the MCU.

Re: Which MCU character grew as a character, the most, in the series?

The one character with the most growth is Nebula.

This side character in a side movie who is sidekick to a sidekick turns out to be the bridge between the Avengers and Thanos.

She's the only one who goes from villain to hero.

She literally kills her villainous self to save her sister.

Ik's Nebula, there's no debate.

I agree he is the character that goes through many phases in the course of all the films and has lost a lot, but so has many of the characters. Tony’s parents, pretty horrifically by Bucky. CA lost virtually everyone after deep freeze, except Bucky until Endgame and went back in time to relive. But, in the end, Endgame, on Quill’s ship he basically reverted back to same spoiled brat, mightier than thou mentality. So in essence regressed.

But Groot was seriously pruned between GOTG 1 and 2, so as far as measuring height or whatever, not really.

It doesn't look like they have any interest in doing it, but I would love to see a Disney+ show about what Rocket and Nebula were doing in that five year period. It's such an odd pairing.

there’s no time limit. Means you already voted. Check the script spelling of one of the choices if not public and it should tell you in little red lettering “you have already voted in this poll” or something. I never time polls.

Actually is public so hit a number and it will tell you what you voted.
