Nope, it's not just Hawkeye who has a canine companion in the Marvel Universe - Thor has one too.
Called Thori, the Odinson's faithful mutt was originally a pet of Loki's before he attached himself to Damon Hellstrom. Travelling throughout the cosmos, Thori soon found himself in the clutches of the Collector, before being rescued by Thor. He most recently featured in the mammoth 700th issue of Aaron's run on the series, helping Thor fend off an attack on the Nornkeep, and he's just about the best thing ever, really.
With the Odinson seemingly poised to resume his mantle as the God of Thunder, we can only hope that Thori will stay by his side and, following in Pizza Dog's footsteps, team up with Mewnir - Nancy Whitehead's pet cat.
Can we get Thori in the MCU soon? Like, Infinity War soon? He's just too great for words.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
