The Thor trilogy brought an entirely new cast of characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both from Earth, and beyond. They are each identified and summed up by key quotes that give insight and exposition as to their personalities, their hopes, dreams and fears. This would help pave the way for the larger MCU narrative, moving into the Infinity War saga.
These three films had a major impact on the course of events that would lead to that final big story, but it all started with a group of colorful and interesting characters that had some poignant, clever and funny things to say. Without these characters, the MCU wouldn't have been what it was.
Korg's personality is best summed up as a guy who doesn't take anything very seriously, no matter how bad it gets. Whether it's dealing with the aftermath of the Thanos snap, or finding his footing as a gladiatorial combatant, Korg always seems to have a funny quote ready to go.
When he told Thor about his then-deceased pal Doug, who was murdered in combat, Thor vowed not to suffer the same fate. He boldly proclaimed that he'd find a way out, prompting Korg to reply with this line, which was both hilarious, and twistedly positive.
Valkyrie's character could best be summed up as a model warrior who fell from grace, after losing it all to Hela. Her PTSD got the better of her, and she decided to run away from her problems and find solace at the bottom of a bottle, in the bowels of a strange planet.
This quote best sums up that mindset, proving that despite her stone cold demeanor, Valkyrie is deeply emotional, and quite vulnerable. This ends up turning the course of her life around, allowing her to regain her dignity, her pride, and her power.
The Grandmaster remains the most loveable sociopath in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks in large part to a stellar comedic performance by actor Jeff Goldblum. He never gives off the impression that he's angry, or ready to murder someone. At the most, he simply seems annoyed.
Yet, when he's crossed, his vengeance is rather swift. And in true sociopathic fashion, the Grandmaster is quick to blame others in an attempt to find justification for his own failures. Yet, he does it in such a way that audiences still cannot help but laugh, which sums up his character to a T.
Hela may have seemed like a monstrously powerful, and evil supervillain capable of besting even Thanos, but in truth, she was actually doing as her own nature intended. As the Goddess of Death, Hela knew no other life besides claiming the Asgardian throne so that she could expand outwards and conquer.
Though her actions were horrific, her violence was tempered. She gave those under her the chance to surrender and serve her, which is more than most do. To Hela, she was merely doing was she was born to do, even if that seemed totally evil to those on the receiving end of her wrath.
No other Asgardian was more loyal to his people than Heimdall, even if his job was inherently difficult. The power of sight alone must have given him special clairvoyance that others simply did not possess, and much of it was probably hard to endure.
Nevertheless, Heimdall stuck to his principles and never wavered, even when things became terrible. He ended up dying to protect all the realms by sending the Hulk to Earth, so that he could warn them of Thanos' impending invasion.
If there's one thing about Jane Foster, it's that her work is her life. She's consistently fascinated by science, and the thought of the next big discovery. She chases the theoretical, and she waxes the hypothetical at almost every turn. When she was finally brought to Asgard, it was a validation for her on many levels.
Whilst being examined by Asgardian physicians after being infected by the Aether, Foster correctly identified the piece of technology being used as a quantum field generator. Her intellect surprised the Asgardian physicians, who were impressed. That's Jane Foster, summed up.
Frigga was a courageous and strong, yet simultaneously soft and caring woman who did her best to raise Loki as her own son. Of all the members of his family, Loki felt closest to her, and she never made him feel like anything less than a true Asgardian.
It wasn't always enough to convince him, however. Loki lashed out in anger and became a villain at a time when Frigga was desperately trying to pull him back. Eventually, her words would carry enough wisdom to influence his path, and this was a testament to her character.
Odin wasn't necessarily a warmonger, but he did engage in quite a lot of battles, in an attempt to bring stability to the nine realms. This involved plenty of killing, much of which he thought was necessary, even if he didn't take pleasure in it.
This quote helped establish how he truly felt about war. The wise ruler understands that not everyone feels the same way as they do, and will use any perceived weakness as an opportunity to fill a power vacuum. To Odin, war was unpleasant, but a realistic necessity from time to time.
It could be argued that Loki's most clever and nefarious schemes were driven by anger, and this is particularly true when he finds out his true heritage. To him, his entire life was a lie, and in turn, he viewed Odin as the ultimate betrayer. His anger caused him to regress into himself, and he began lashing out at others he once called family.
He would soften this stance over time, until finally he started coming around to the idea of being a semi-hero. This quote was directed to Thor in an attempt to get him to understand what it's like to be lied to by those you value and trust. It could be taken as a jab, but in reality, it was Loki's way of helping Thor understand his own pain.
Thor started out as an arrogant braggart and a bully who was more interested in flinging himself into the next fight, rather than acting with maturity and caution. After being cast out by Odin, he was forced to learn a powerful lesson, and in turn become a hero worthy of wielding the mighty Mjolnir.
Afterwards, he retained his boyish mischievousness, but it was tempered with a strong sense of responsibility and bravery. His problems could no longer be shoved aside in anger and irrationality. He had become a hero who was willing to face the bad parts of himself, and learn to overcome them. In the process, Thor frequently became one of the smartest people in a given situation.
