Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, which saw Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones and wiping out half of life in the universe with the snap of his fingers, and the surviving heroes later ed forces to undo the snap and defeat Thanos and his armies for good.
This first wave of content, known as the Infinity Saga, came to an end with Mighty Thor, making way for a proper female Avengers moment.
Avengers: Endgame had its A-Force moment when all the female heroes present at the Battle of Earth teamed-up to help Captain Marvel, but it was very brief and looked pretty forced, being nothing more than a fan service moment. On the other hand, Thor: Love & Thunder can make things right by including an important moment from the Mighty Thor storyline from the comics. In it, in order to help Mighty Thor in her fight against Cul Borson (who happens to be Odin’s brother), Thor Odinson and Freyja arrived with an army of women, which is the perfect opportunity for the female Avengers moment in Avengers: Endgame to pay off.
The MCU hasn’t been the best when handling female characters, often using them just as romantic interests or victims, and it took the studio a long time to finally give a bigger role to its female superheroes, as it did in Lady Sif, who is set to return.
This would also open the door for the team to return in future movies, even preparing the ground for the female Avengers movie fans have been asking for. Thor: Love & Thunder is the MCU’s best chance at the moment to give the audience a proper female Avengers moment in a more organic way than Avengers: Endgame did thanks to the source material having its own female army moment.
