10 Times MCU Movies Missed Out Key Plot Points

10. Donald Blake - Thor

Not all omissions are a bad thing. Before Ragnarok, the Thor movies were some of the lowest rated in the MCU. Imagine how much worse the reaction would have been if they included the Donald Blake storyline. While not a fondly remembered part of the titular character's history, it does provide important context to his and Jane Foster's relationship.

As a lesson in humility, Odin made his son give up Moljnir and sent him to Midgard to live as a regular human. To do this, The All-Father created a new being and imposed Thor's consciousness onto it.

Wanting to give his boy a completely opposite life to what he lived in Asgard, The God of Thunder was given the body of a disabled man and left with no memory of his true identity. The Odinson lived a regular life as a doctor and started dating his co-worker, Jane Foster. Things got complicated after Donald discovers Moljnir and was able to transform into his true form. Jane started developing feelings for both men and a love triangle formed before the truth comes out.

Blake is briefly referenced in Thor: The Dark World by Jane, leading to a scene later where The Odinson uses the name to hide his identity when picking up Erik Selvig from the institute.
