In Thor (2011), destroying the Bifrost Bridge seems cataclysmic, as it is Thor's primary way of traveling between realms. Yet in The Avengers and beyond, Thor travels across the universe with the ease of going to the corner store, even without the bridge. The lack of explanation nullifies the importance of the Bifrost's destruction. Was Odin's magic involved? Did Thor master new ways of travel? Fans have speculated, but MCU provides no definitive answer. It felt like a narrative shortcut, glossing over a problem that was developed to be important.
