Marvel Officially Brings Back ’Thor: Love and Thunder’s Most Divisive Characters for Absurd New Release
In *Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse* #3, Odin sends Miles Morales riding on an enormous Asgardian goat called Bonegnasher to seek help in the land of fairies. The scene brings back the screaming-goat gag from *Thor: Love and Thunder*, this time as an unlikely form of transport for Spider-Man.
Miles needs help after his team’s mission goes badly wrong: Knull is exploiting Godzilla’s rampage to spread symbiotes. Odin directs him towards the fairies, and Bonegnasher carries him there across a rainbow; Miles calls the goat a “death-metal goat”. Unlike Thor’s goats, Bonegnasher is ridden directly rather than pulling a chariot, and the comic has no audio to recreate the film’s distinctive screams.
In short
- Miles Morales rides an Asgardian goat in a new Marvel comic.
- Odin sends Bonegnasher to carry him to the land of fairies.
- Miles seeks help against Knull’s symbiotes amid Godzilla’s rampage.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
The screaming goat was a bold comedic choice that helped Thor: Love and Thunder establish its distinctive, irreverent tone. Bringing Bonegnasher back shows Marvel is confident in that vision and won't retreat from it because of mixed reception. For fans who appreciated the film's absurdist humour, seeing the goat return to different media validates that tonal choice and creates meaningful continuity across the MCU and comics. The unexpected use as transport for Miles Morales is exactly the kind of humorous subversion that Marvel's comics have always celebrated, reminding audiences that not every moment needs to serve plot logic.
The case against
The screaming goat was widely regarded as divisive tonal whiplash in Thor: Love and Thunder, with many viewers finding it pulled them out rather than enhanced the film. Deliberately bringing this polarising element back suggests Marvel either ignored legitimate criticism or failed to learn from it. The choice to use Bonegnasher primarily as comic relief in Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse adds little to the actual story about Knull and symbiotes—it's a distraction that epitomises spectacle over substance, repeating a misstep rather than evolving from audience feedback.
Explained simply
Thor: Love and Thunder was a 2022 superhero film about the Norse god Thor. It featured a comedic scene in which two goats pulled Thor's chariot whilst screaming loudly, which divided audiences.
Miles Morales is a superhero who takes on the Spider-Man identity. In a new comic crossover involving cosmic threats and monsters, he rides a goat named Bonegnasher as part of his adventure.
Marvel's comic books regularly draw inspiration from its films. By reviving the screaming-goat concept in this new story, the company is choosing to bring back an element from the film that many found divisive.
