He had lost his father, his hammer, and his kingdom.
On the Asgardian ship, Thor witnesses something few other Avengers ever directly experience: total, undeniable defeat.
Thor isnt just fighting to stop Thanos.
Hes fighting to survive a level of cosmic brutality that Earths heroes hadnt even begun to imagine.
It’s entirely logical that Thor seeks something greater a weapon capable of shifting the balance.

Beyond strategy, theres the emotional factor.
Thor has already lost so much.

This scrutiny isnt limited to Thor, either.
Star-Lord faces endless backlash for punching Thanos and accidentally breaking Mantis' hold over him.
Doctor Stranges decision to give up the Time Stone remains a point of contention.

Thors journey isnt a selfish detour.
