This Guardians of the Galaxy Theory Makes THOR 2 Worth It

Thor : The Dark Worldremains one of Marvel ’s rarified disappointments , but thanks to one new ( and fantastic ) fan possibility it may before long betreasuredinstead - for creating one of theGuardians of the Galaxy ’s unusual enemies .

The flick may have had its defenders for a time , but now thateven Chris Hemsworth Admits Thor 2 was a dud , the abrasive truth has been accepted . So as fans look forth toThor’sRagnarokreboot , most may wish to never look back again . But that ’s about to deepen if a new Reddit hypothesis – one of the more inventive MCU fan theories that we ’ve yet seen – is to be believed . While Thor was waging war against the Dark Elves … did YOU catch the birth ofTaserface ?

For those who may not recall the unfortunately - named , would - be leader of the Ravagers , we would n’t advise you to sense too guilty . Honestly , his function in the Marvel Cinematic Universe being forgotten next tovillains like Ego , Ronan , and Thanosis the kind of legacy he rightly deserves . But asReddituser ' MightyMary0007 ' manoeuver out , the public ’s perception may change when revisit a certain scene fromThor : The Dark World . The scene in which an imprisoned Marauder help oneself Kurse escape from his Asgardian jail cubicle … using his face :

The single image of the scene above makes it appear to be purely comedic , but at the clip , it was no joke . Having mask himself as just another troublemaker from an inter - realm conflict , Malekith ’s second - in - command Algrim(Adewale Akinnuoye - Agbaje ) expect until he was safely stowed aside inside the Asgardian keep . Then retrieving the magic stone from inside an opened wound , Algrim crushed it , activate his transformation into the last of the Dark Elves ' Kursed berserkers . To the revulsion and panic of his cellmates , for obvious reasons .

Upon make out the transformation , ' Kurse ' grabbed handle of one of his fellow prisoners to prove out the sorcerous force - theater of operations containing the prisoners . It was obviously not a voluntary partnership , as evidenced by the offended groans , screams , and convulsions of the Marauder whose face was pushed into , and ultimatelythroughthe barrier , before being tossed apart unconscious ( or presumptively dead ) .

But as this Redditor high spot , the Marauder ’s article of clothing , build , and facial wounds actually link up the dose between his own appearance … and that ofTaserface , the Ravager who attempts to arrogate Yondu ’s roleinGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 . Or the humans that Taserfaceused to bebefore he was for good disfigure and bring back to Yondu and the rest of his exiled Ravager family . Take a look for yourselves at the Marauder prior to his facial wound , and the Ravager this possibility claims he then becomes :

It ’s a compelling hypothesis due mainly to just how circumstantially fun and , admittedly , convincing it is at first glimpse . Before fans get too excited that this secret origin story for Taserface isthe lastGuardians of the GalaxyEaster Eggstill accommodate by James Gunn , it ’s almost certainlynot . For fledgeling , that is n’t histrion Chris Sullivan in theDark Worldscene ( obviously ) . But even if he had yet to be upchuck by Gunn – having go out theDark Worldscene , and secretly select to add in this connective – thebehind the scene footage and photos ofGuardians 2show that Taserface was originally cash in one’s chips to have purple skin , just like his funny Good Book counterpart . And not purple as in ' bruised , ' but purple to the same degree that Gamora is dark-green , or Yondu blue .

But that wo n’t block off devotee from piss this hilarious - in - hindsight rootage account their headcanon for the shortly - live Ravager leader . peculiarly since it givesThor : The Dark Worlda place in the bigger MCU canon that is as fun , irreverent , and inside joke - y asRagnarokturned out to be . Even if James Gunn follow out tomorrow and kills this possibility deadened , we can vouch plenty of fans , ourselves let in , will never watch this chronological sequence the same way again .

Now how did Taserface make itback out of Asgard , we wonder …
