How did Thor get captured in Infinity War?
Two years after the battle of Sokovia, Thor is imprisoned by the fire demon Surtur, who reveals that Thor’s father Odin is no longer on Asgard. He explains that the realm will soon be destroyed during the prophesied Ragnarök, once Surtur unites his crown with the Eternal Flame that burns in Odin’s vault.
Where does Hela’s power come from?
Gaining her power from Asgard, Hela planned to rule Asgard and create an Asgardian Empire. When all the people of Asgard refused to bow to her, Hela set about massacring Odin’s armies and enslaving their people, while recruiting Skurge to be her own Executioner in the process.
Why did Thor not lose his power when Asgard was destroyed?

How did Asgard get destroyed?

Why is the Bifrost used twice in Infinity War?
From this we know that use of the Bifrost required a physical presence in Asgard, so with the destruction of Asgard at the end of Thor: Ragnarok, the Bifrost should also have been destroyed. Yet in Infinity War we see it used twice, and also in a point-to-point way that hasn’t been previously (all previous travel seen was to/from Asgard):
Should the Bifrost have been destroyed in Ragnarok?
Once the Bifrost was rebuilt prior to Thor: The Dark World, their ability to travel to other worlds is restored. From this we know that use of the Bifrost required a physical presence in Asgard, so with the destruction of Asgard at the end of Thor: Ragnarok, the Bifrost should also have been destroyed.
What is the Bifrost Bridge in Marvel Comics?
