#Thunderbolts #Siege #MCU

After Love and Thunder, everyone - including yours truly - talks about Thor, Love, Hercules, Eternity, the necrosword, Valhalla, and how the movie sets up big things for the future.

But let’s bring it down back to Earth, and talk about one of the smaller scale things that the movie establishes. New Asgard.

A fishing village that blew into a viking-disneyland.

New Asgard might not seem like it, but it’s actually had some serious story potential.
One story in particular. A war between New Asgard and humanity.

That’s how we can get the MCU’s adaptation of Siege from the comics.
A story where the Thunderbolts started a war with Asgard. Which so happens at the time, on Earth.

Asgard is on Earth, Thunderbolts are getting their own movie, and there is something sinister brewing in the way the government is dealing with superhuman threats.So everything is in place for the MCU’s version of Siege.

And you guessed it, we came up with a juicy idea for how this story can play out.
So we present to you how New Asgard will go to war with the Thunderbolts.


But first, we need to quickly go over the comic book version of Siege, because we need that context.

Alright, so long story short, the government put Norman Osobrn in charge of Shield - yeah Green Goblin Norman Osborn. This was because of the aftermath of Secret Invasion, where Osborn was seen as a hero who saved the world from the Skrulls.

Osborn becoming the head of shield was a big deal, because after the events of Civil War every working superhero was registered with the government. Which put Osborn in charge of all of them.

took over Shield and was in charge of all the government's superheros.
That happened after Secret Invasion, where Osborn saved the world from the skrulls. Side note, we are getting a Secret Invasion Disney plus show very soon.

Osborn rebranded Shield into H.A.M.M.E.R.
He then got himself an iron man suit and became the Iron Patriot.

Also, Osborn was in charge of the Thunderbolts, which later became the Dark Avengers. A team of bad guys pretending to be established Avengers.

At that time, Asgard was on Earth, floating over Oklahoma.

Osborn devises a sinister plot that starts an all-out war with Asgard. This then led to many other great things, like this epic battle between Thor and the Sentry.

So that’s the basis for the story. But things will need to be heavily adjusted for the MCU.


Love and Thunder doesn’t really address how the world reacted to New Asgard.
The Asgardians showed up on Earth sometime after the snap, and for 5 years they were just a harmless fishing village in Tønsberg, Norway.

Then Valkyrie became king, and New Asgard really blew up, growing into a prospering nation.

And you just know that some humans are gonna get real paranoid about a bunch of aliens from some mystical realm becoming a global superpower.

Ok sure, New Asgard is far from being anything like that. They are more of a theme-park, they don’t come close to a nation like Wakanda.

But from a certain point of view of some baddies, New Asgard can be seen as a legitimate threat.

The Asgardians are all really powerful, they have magical hammers, rainbow bridges and flying horses.

Sure, Thor has proven time and time that he’s one of Earth’s mightiest, but humanity didn’t have the best experience with Asgardians.

Remember, Shield became paranoid about extraterrestrials after the Destroyer attacked New Mexico.
Then Loki unleashed the chitauri on New-York.
A year later, Earth was attacked again, this time by Dark Elves.
3 alien attacks within 3 years, all connected to Asgardians.
Not to mention all the other alien invasions since. So humanity might be kinda fed up with all of these E.T’s that keep showing up on their planet.

This is the reason why the temperature is pretty high right now on Earth. Ever since Civil War there has been a change in the way regular people look at super-people, especially the government.
