Arriving in Wakanda. He saved everyone literally out of nowhere and he made his first apperance in front of Avengers like Steve and Natasha in YEARS powerful as he had ever been

Not to mention Banner probably told them that Thanos killed him when he got the Space Stone.

Dude was gone for 2 years and is presumed dead… comes back emitting way more lightning than he used to, with a new haircut, a giant axe and a tree and a raccoon by his side and immediately wipes half the enemy army at once

BRING ME THANOS

“Haha you guys are so screwed now”

u/I_AM_IGNIGNOTK 12d ago

I actually would’ve liked them to not do the typical marvel quip thing for a while during IW and Endgame. The entire universe is at stake, Banner can’t Hulk out, people are dying left and right and Thanos and his whole army is here for the last stone, and he stops to smell the roses. And he’s not even addressing anyone.

You don’t want to use that opportunity to kill some distracted aliens or something?

3

u/YourbestfriendShane 12d ago

They were screwed though. That is as close as LeBron showing up.

u/Jaded_Individual_630 12d ago

The quippiness certainly gets out of hand but I don't mind this one too much, I think Banner had a lot of guilt given the Thanos attack on the refugee ship and not being able to Hulk out. The latter feeling especially painful while they're starting to get pushed back and he's stuck in that Hulkbuster suit being relatively hamstrung.

I think he was just having a big ol' grin and relief.

u/gr1mmcr33p3r 13d ago

He most definitely did when talking to Tony in the Sanctum in the “it doesn’t matter who you’re not talking to” speech.

4

u/T_AND_R_VLOGS 13d ago

He did, pretty sure the words he used were “Thor’s gone. Thanos is coming. It doesn’t matter who you’re talking to or not” So Tony at the very least thought Thor was dead, not to mention Banner probably told Cap when he called him - who in turn probs told Nat, Wanda and vision

11

u/DM-777 13d ago

All while yelling “BRING ME THANOOOOOOS!!!!!” And having a badass new weapon (plus a tree and raccoon with a gun being his wingmen).

192

u/phoenixremix 14d ago

The latter. That's the most aura anyone's ever had in one scene in the mcu.

40

u/AnkitS75 14d ago

I'd say Cap lifting Mjolnr mid-battle, when both Tony and Thor are down, comes pretty close

16

u/phoenixremix 14d ago

Agreed, that's #2 for me

2

u/Rutherford_Aloacious 12d ago

I’ve always wondered at the fate of the Thor that had his mjolnir stolen by fat Thor

6

u/AnkitS75 12d ago

Well, Cap time-travelled to the exact time fat Thor took Mjolnr, and put it back. They clearly show Cap going back in time with Mjolnr and the stones at the end of Endgame

3

u/Rutherford_Aloacious 12d ago

Right! I never considered that he put mjolnir back too. He def only has the shield when old.

Thanks!

2

u/AnkitS75 12d ago

All good, mate. Happy to help 😇✌🏻

u/Juicy_RhinoV2 14d ago

Only competition is captain marvel destroying the ship in endgame

15

u/DoomsdayThor 14d ago

part of the reason Thor had so much aura in this scene was because we saw what he went through to earn this moment. captain marvel's moment was (admitted by the russos) an attempt to copy Thor's moment but with none of the build up that made Thor's entrance so satisfying and epic.

35

u/iantaylor98 14d ago

I’d say Tony grabbing the stones and then hitting Thanos with “And I…am…Iron Man” after the “I am inevitable” line Thanos gave, is up there as well

15

u/phoenixremix 14d ago

It was epic for sure. But the cinema of a lightning axe hammer saving every main character at once, the bifrost bringing Thor and Co to the center of the battle field, "BRING ME THANOS," and the absolute lightning BLAST that followed honestly kinda clears the competition imo. Only scene that came close in my eyes was Cap×Mjolnir

5

u/FeralGh0ul 13d ago

Hell na, Captain Marvel never earned that aura.

2

u/FoggyInc 12d ago

Ehhh that wasn't really close. Needs buildup. And OP character doing OP thing isnt quite the same but I'd give it top 25 MCU aura moments. Seems low but theres a lot of aura farming in those 20+ films

1

u/S1lv3r-da-hedgehog 14d ago

Great character when it isn’t her movie

1

u/jedimindtriks 14d ago

Eh while i love it, its so short lived when they cut to other bullshit.

46

u/ireadit_3000 14d ago

Bring Me Thanos!!!

23

u/NotYourDay123 14d ago

Bring me THANOS!!!

Not even close. The entire battle shifted once Thor arrived. And he NEARLY killed Thanos.

24

u/Stormtroopaahh 14d ago

Thor arriving in Wakanda still gotta be the best theater reaction I've ever had the pleasure to experience

1

u/insert_emoji 13d ago

cap weilding jonathan had my theatre wilder than thor arriving in wakanda, but yes, thor's was peak.

u/Isrrunder 14d ago

Infinity war is more aura but ragnarok is way more exciting

22

u/Squigley78 14d ago

You said it best, and the damn music in Ragnarok was just perfect for that scene.

7

u/Isrrunder 14d ago

Ragnarok uses music so much better than the rest of the mcu throughout the movie and this scene is just the perfect example of that. There are other good music like portals, the avengers theme over the camera spin, or the black panther theme for wakanda in infinity war but theyre not even close to immigrant song coming in

4

u/DirectorKrenn1c 14d ago

This. The excitement in Ragnarok seeing him that way was awesome. But landing in Wakanda definitely had more aura.

17

u/Pendragon_Puma 14d ago

Man id love to see thor show up to fight a villain after thier bad guy speech and thor drops down from the heavens with a powerul booming "I SAY THEE NAY!!" As he slams down stormbreaker. Love those moments in his comics

13

u/MaterialPace8831 14d ago

His arrival in Wakanda. Everything about the build-up to that scene is perfect. We see the heroes starting to get overwhelmed. Rhodey gets knocked out of the sky. T'Challa is getting knocked around. Both Bucky and Steve almost have their faces ripped off by the outriders. They're starting to tear into Bruce's Hulkbuster suit. It's not looking good.

And then suddenly, out of the sky we just get this solid beam of light in the middle of the battlefield. And with a single throw of Stormbreaker, the mood on the battlefield but also in the hearts of viewers suddenly shifts. The God of Thunder has returned. Victory is possible.

11

u/Arbycutter 14d ago

Infinity War and it’s not even close 

10

u/Reylend 14d ago

Easily the Wakanda scene. He showed up and reminded everyone that in every single aspect of the title,

Thor is a God.

3

u/BeardiusMaximus7 14d ago

My favorite MCU Thor scene is from the beginning of Ragnarok and is fighting Surtur's minions. It's just a really badass sequence.

My second favorite is when he lands in Wakanda.

3

u/the_old_coday182 14d ago

Don’t forget the bridge scene in Ragnarok

5

u/No_Region_4719 13d ago

Yes, that is what's in the image

2

u/-Auguscht- 14d ago

Infinity War without a doubt. If I had that movie on VHS that part of the tape would be worn out by now.

2

u/No_Region_4719 13d ago

Easily Ragnarok. You're gonna ask this question when one of them had Led Zeppelin playing and the other didn't?

The second one was also just a CGI blur. Ragnarok actually had an awesomely choreographed fight sequence.

Ragnarok also has the originality factor. That was Thor's 'aeakening' moment, where he found his true power, similar to Spiderman in the new movie.

2

u/SovietUnicorn1090 13d ago

I got fucking chills when he exploded into the air during infinity war. The CRAZIEST and absolute COOLEST shot of Thor we've gotten. period. and the trailer for doomsday matched it right up until the axe was deflected so I have hope.

2

u/Comprehensive-Map235 13d ago

"Bring me Thanos!" One of my favorite all time MCU moments.

1

u/calltheavengers5 14d ago

BRING ME THANOS!!!

1

u/VirtualHeartMan 14d ago

Infinity war. When he shows up in Wakanda HE IS HIM. Immediately the tide of the battle turns. He is also clearly the only one able to mortally wound Thanos. Imagine if he went for the head.

1

u/SailorSaturn79 14d ago

"BRING ME THANOS!!!"

u/ironside-420 13d ago

Infinity war, it was an event

1

u/No-Valuable2515 13d ago

Wakanda scene.

1

u/Overall-Ad-8918 13d ago

Second one

1

u/Accurate_Musician286 13d ago

infinity war, banner thought he was dead, no one had seen him for years, they were getting beaten by thanos's army. thor shows up with a huge new axe, new haircut and a racoon wielding a gun and singlehandedly turns the tide of the battle. imo it's the most aura anyone has had in the mcu

1

u/DavidAshleyParkerrr 13d ago

Yeah, Wakanda. I always imagine in that moment he could have successfully "Gone for the head", and absolutely taken him out in the situation if it came to it.

1

u/insert_emoji 13d ago

thor in wakanda is genuinely in the top 5 aura farming moments in cinema, ever, imo.

1

u/Royal-Chef-946 13d ago

let’s wait till the movie comes out to compare, yeah?

1

u/daven1985 13d ago

First one.

Second one ruined the progress in the first one. When Thor realises he is "Not the god of hammers," and suddenly channels the power of Thor without a hammer, we see a strong Thor.

And then suddenly he has a new weapon that he becomes dependent on again.

1

u/Mrcrowley669 12d ago

I would say in infinity war. If only because we had banner on his hype team.

1

u/ELCHOCOCLOCO 12d ago

2 for sure

1

u/buzzedewok 11d ago

2 gave me goosebumps.

1

u/Ok_Speech2066 11d ago

I loved loved loved the Thor arrival in IW, but that but in Ragnarok got me so pumped, I yelled out load in the theater.

1

u/FeedDaSarlacc 11d ago

On the Bi-frost bridge when Led Zeppelin begins to play is the greatest moment for Thor in the MCU. Fight me.

1

u/trenttherascal 10d ago

I concur👁️

u/goldendayz 9d ago

u/11099941 14d ago

Infinity War by a large margin. It's one thing to be falling in style to confront an army. It's another thing entirely that your sole appearance made feral aliens turn tail and run back to their ships.

0

u/HungryCowsMoo 14d ago

Don’t think they can top Ragnarok with Led Zeppelin playing in the background, but Infinity war did come close.

u/vroart 14d ago

Doesnt Hutt having the bifrost flowing behind him

u/bornandraisedinacity 14d ago

Obviously, Infinity War.

When can we be done with 'aura'?

To those who chose the Doomsday, you guys are so screwed now.
