When Thor confronts Gorr the God Butcher at the entrance to Eternity, Thor rescues the Asgardian children that Gorr had captured early in the film. The King of the Frost Giants would have believed that Thor's taking the throne would have been the beginning of a new Asgardian Empire, and that the Frost Giants had to act now to prevent it.Thor: Love and Thunder doesn't use "Immigrant Song" like Ragnarok did, but it did have a scene that was framed in a very similar way. He, too, would have realized that history was repeating himself and Laufey would have no doubt remembered that Thor was on the verge of being crowned new King of Asgard before the coronation was interrupted by Frost Giant infiltrators. ![]() Given the events of Thor: Ragnarok, it's no surprise that Thor's attack on Jotunheim was viewed by Laufey as an act of war. It was a lesson that Odin himself had to learn in the past, but at a terrible cost. In order to earn his hammer and become worthy, Thor would have to learn that his responsibility was to act as champion and protector of the Nine Realms - not its conqueror. No wonder Odin was so angry when he judged Thor as unworthy, he was also casting judgment upon the man he used to be. He saw too much of himself in his son a brash and reckless man whose imperialistic ways would plunge the Nine Realms into chaos and launch Asgard into an age of conquest. This subtly rewrites Odin's motives in Thor.
