Episode 7 also showcased Thor’s partying habits while growing up alone instead of sharing his childhood with Loki. This is why this variant of Thor is known as “Party Thor.” The episode set in 2010 covers Thor’s introduction with Jane Foster and Darcy Lewis, along with an early meeting with Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) compared to the main timeline.

The altered events give several callbacks to Phase 1’s Thor (2011) movie and the sequels. Episode 7 also contained several cameos from characters previously seen to have been associated with Thor.
