Minute One Hundred Three: From A Quiet Asgard to a Quiet Queen Joining us to say goodbye to the Warriors Three is Will Freeland from the Hype Is My Superpower podcast. In the one hundred-third minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We're back to Asgard but the streets seem empty now. Is everyone feasting? It feels a bit like an early model to showcase what they could do. Then again, the empty streets fit the music. In the dining hall, we see Asgardians happily eating. Then we cut in to see Volstagg telling a tale of fighting the Destroyer while Fandral gives him grief. But why didn't we see this table in the wide shot? It's a bit odd the way these cut together. Regardless, Volstagg's tale is fun. Interesting and unfortunate that we don't get to spend much time hearing it as his dialogue is a bit buried under Patrick Doyle's melancholic theme. It makes sense – we're here with Thor who is mourning. It's just a bummer that this is the last we see of the Warriors Three in this movie. Thor walks off, sad and lonely. Sif notices. Have we had enough of her pining in this film? It feels like there could've been a bit more. Thor briefly holds his mother's hand as they comfort each other before he walks off. We like this beat. Makes us really want more of Rene Russo. Sif rises and meets Frigga as the two watch Thor walk off. It's a sad moment and Sif acknowledges Frigga's loss of Loki. It's interesting that Frigga says nothing but puts her hand on Sif's shoulder. It's very comforting, particularly as this small gesture from a queen toward one of her subjects can be seen as such a monumental moment. As mentioned above, this is picture wrap for Ray Stevenson, Tadanobu Asano, and Josh Dallas as Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral. It's a shame they won't get much to do in the next two Thor films. It's a moment of goodbyes and finding comfort with Will Freeland. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

Minute Ninety-Two: From a Pinzgauer Ride to a Final Squeeze Joining us this week to discuss the the impending trip through Bifrost are James Anderson and Colin M. Parker, hosts of the Timeline Scavengers podcast. In the ninety-second minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... The Pinzgauer arrives at Bifrost Junction with Darcy, Erik, Sif, Hogun the Grim, Fandral, and Volstagg. It looks like Volstagg rides on the top. Is he the only one? Did they tell Volstagg he has to ride on top or was that his request? Has Thor been standing here at the Bifrost Junction calling for Heimdall this whole time? Perhaps there was a bit of a ‘Can You Read My Mind' Superman moment where Thor flew Jane to Hawaii quickly? Why didn't Thor and Jane say goodbye while they were alone here? There are the remnants of the SHIELD vehicles here. Where are the agents? Are they all walking back toward the SHIELD Crater Base? It's kinda funny how Thor keeps calling for Heimdall. It's like a kid trying to get his parent's attention. Is there a small part of Jane that starts doubting Thor again as he stands in the desert calling some stranger's name to the sky? We pine for all those minutes of Thor's Asgardian friends that we just won't get. Are the Warriors Three different facets of Thor's personality? Perhaps they're only figments of his imagination? We talk more about Heimdall's magical senses. Andy forgets that Heimdall has great hearing on top of his great sight. We discuss if his skills relate to his role or are just part of him and how it played out in the comics. We feel like we come up with a solution that works for us. It's clear regardless that Marvel has found ways to fit everyone together. We ponder if these skills actually belong to the character or... perhaps to Idri Elba himself? So how is Heimdall breathing while encased in ice? And is he just flexing or breathing hot air to soften the ice up? We love that we can see his icy footsteps into the Himinbjorg. And he gets things started up. Sure doesn't look like he's holding up very well. Back on Midgard... Again, why didn't Thor get his goodbyes done while he and Jane were alone? And again, why such big atmospheric disturbances here on Midgard? It's a great time to celebrate Heimdall breaking out of the ice and James Anderson and Colin M.

Minute Eighty-Five: From The Last Stand in Puente Antiguo to Sif's Fallen Shield Joining us to discuss how everyone's doing against the Destroyer and what Thor decides to do are Robin Burdge from Karate Kid Minute and Travis Bow from Reel Comic Heroes. In the eighty-fifth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... The Destroyer certainly lives up to its name in this minute as it tears the town of Puente Antiguo apart, blowing the street and cars up as it tries to destroy Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three. We really feel the change in Thor here, telling Sif to fight to live instead of dying so others can tell her story. And of course he also tells everyone they have to go back to Asgard to stop Loki while he holds the Destroyer back. But how is he going to do that? And how are they going to get back to Asgard? If they had, in a What If...? type of scenario, could they have beaten him? Or would they also have ended up frozen statues on the rainbow bridge? After we saw Volstagg blown out the back windows of Isabela's Diner smoldering, how is he still alive? He doesn't even have any singes or burns. Seriously fast healing those golden apples provide. There's a deleted scene involving Erik nearly dying from a shard of glass that impales him. Thor heals him with healing stones that Hogun brought. We certainly have lots of thoughts about this bit and are glad it's gone. Chris Hemsworth shines in these minutes. He carries the weight of his character and what he has to do well. But what's up with his eyes? Why does it look like he's wearing black contacts sometimes? And Sif's shield when he drops it? Why does it look so fake?

Again Joining us to discuss the Destroyer tearing Puente Antiguo apart, Sif's cool move, the Destroyer's awesome body spin, and the blasts that pretty much should've killed everyone are Robin Burdge from Karate Kid Minute and Travis Bow from Reel Comic Heroes. In the eighty-fourth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Sif uses a foothold on the telephone pole to leap onto the back of the Destroyer and it's a damn cool move. But who saw that step? It's hard to tell it's there. The moment between Sif and Volstagg is cute. But then the Destroyer turns itself around, and that's seriously what it's all about. Possibly one of the coolest things in the MCU. What's great about this moment is that it sets up just how impressive the Destroyer is and what a formidable foe they have to battle. In the script, the Warriors Three discuss a few other options for battle moves to fight the Destroyer – the Svartalfheim Twist, Kiss of the Hag, Face Full of Boot, and the Flying Mountain. Guess which one they tried on the Destroyer? The way the Destroyer's fire blasts don't always make sense. How does it propel Sif into the air? And how does it cause what looks like a massive explosion between Sif and the Warriors Three? This explosion sends the Warriors Three crashing into Isabela's Diner, destroying one set of windows. The Destroyer then blasts them again, blowing out the other windows in the diner. It destroys half the town. It blasts glass over the Asgardian Three. How does anyone survive? Especially Volstagg who gets blown out of Isabela's Diner on fire, crashing onto a bench outside the Greyhound station. How is he alive? It's a minute full of battle with the Destroyer, and the Destroyer looks like it's going to win. Robin and Travis are here for it. Tune in!

Minute Eighty-Three: From Thor's Mortal Reveal to Volstagg's Final Moment Joining us to discuss Thor's plan to save the people of Puente Antiguo, the Warriors Three and Sif's plan to take on the Destroyer, and the results for Volstagg are Robin Burdge from Karate Kid Minute and Travis Bow from Reel Comic Heroes. In the eighty-third minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We've got a deleted scene! Darcy asks a sketchy stranger to take her dog... which she's only had for a few seconds. It's very odd and wasn't in the script. Was this dog the one that was scripted to appear when the Destroyer first steps foot into Puente Antiguo? Thor asks his friends to fight the Destroyer so he can help the Midgardians evacuate the town. This stands out as a key moment for his growth. Does evacuating the town show that the Asgardians know the Destroyer is here? Does it seem presumptuous to evacuate? That being said, how does the Destroyer get here so quickly? A few seconds ago, it was miles out of town! The shots of the Destroyer in town really highlight the complexities of getting great shots and how that affects continuity... at least for nerds watching the movie one minute at a time. The 7-11 blows up. Robin talks a bit about the trope of blowing up 7-11s in movies. But why does the Destroyer blow it up? Is it just because of Loki's “Destroy everything” command? Was it killing cows and blowing up cars and trees on its walk here? Again... HOW DOES IT GET HERE SO QUICKLY? The Warriors Three and Sif put a plan together to take out the Destroyer. Clearly, they have plans like this in their back pocket. Why this one? Have they seen the Destroyer in action before? Their plan doesn't go well for Volstagg. We leave this minute with him lying on the front of a car after getting backhanded by the Destroyer, with the Destroyer looking down at him, ready to burn him to a crisp. Things don't look good for ol' Volstagg! It's a week of saving people and fighting the Destroyer, and Robin and Travis are here for all of it. Tune in!

Minute Seventy-Nine: From Two Secret Agents to One Doubting Thomas Joining us to dig into the arrival of the Warriors Three and Sif – for the Renaissance Fair? – in the small town of Puente Antiguo are Miles Stokes and Elisabeth Allie from the podcast Thor: The Lightning and the Storm. In the seventy-ninth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We meet Agents Cale and Garrett working covertly across from Smith Motors on the roof eavesdropping on Thor and the Scientists Three. We play the IMDb game with the actors playing these roles. There's also discussion about the extended bit with them in the deleted scene where they're talking about the eggs Thor makes. It's kinda funny. Loki sets the Destroyer loose to send to Midgard and destroy Thor. Did Loki have this in the back of his mind all this time? Seems like a brutal way to take out his brother. What pushed him to take this turn? How well does the Destroyer understand commands like this? Loki's commands seem awfully emotion-driven and very broad. Or is there a sense here that part of this is he's working to gain his mental connection to it like in the comics? The Warriors Three and Sif arrive in Puente Antiguo. There are some comedic beats here as this group arrives in town and walks through it looking for Thor while everyone gapes at them. Yes, they do look like they're here for a Renaissance Fair. But do their weapons and outfits need to look so artificial? Or is there something there that hints at their being from another Realm? We discuss the deleted scene which includes several additional bits. The first of which, which we all really like, is Volstagg lifting a car to get a baseball some kids threw. This scene would've added to his character in a wonderful way, giving us a sense of who he is. It also would've helped clarify that the Asgardians, in fact, do have superhuman strength when not broken by Odin's spell. That would've enhanced the fight with the Destroyer. The second part is the Warriors Three and Sif talking about the last time they were on Midgard 1,000 years ago. So that would've been 1011, 46 years after Odin's battle with the Jotuns in Norway. So how old are these characters exactly? And in relation to Thor and Loki? The last bit is Volstagg separating from the group because he smells something tasty. As it turns out, it's the Burger King product placement Agents Cale and Garrett are eating on the roof. It's a silly scene and again focuses on Volstagg's appetite. It's a bit much. But this is why the scene we do get of the four Asgardians marching up Main Street is actually a composite shot with Volstagg digitally added in walking ahead of his friends. And why the Agents on the roof don't give Volstagg a nickname when they call it in. The minute ends with Erik doubting Jane's research yet again. Sheesh. It's the Renaissance Fair! Oh, no, wait—it's us talking with Miles Stokes and Elisabeth Allie about the townies' reactions to the Asgardians in this minute. Tune in!

Minute Seventy-Seven: From The Plan to The Bifrost Joining us to discuss Hogun's words, the decision the Warriors Three and Sif make, Heimdall's reaction, and the Observatory kicking into high gear are once again Miles Stokes and Elisabeth Allie from the podcast Thor: The Lightning and the Storm. In the seventy-seventh minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor… Was it meant to be a moment of comedy between Sif and Hogun the Grim? Or did Sif have a different plan than Hogun? Regardless, the moment plays in a comedic way. There's also the fact that Hogun speaks again. Is that why everyone turns to him suddenly when he speaks? Could it be that they're surprised to hear from the Vanir that he feels they need to lay their lives down for the Asgardian prince? We pine for the lack of facial hair on Hogun. And where is all of their fantastic headgear? We discuss Hogun from the comics a bit as well. And we point out that they cast the actor who played Genghis Khan in the film Mongol to play Hogun, which seems to fit his look in the comics. Fandral seems to be the one more focused on following orders. To that end, it certainly fits the single traits they're each given. Fandral came close to death on Jotunheim. We wonder why we don't get any acknowledgement in this scene from him that it may be affecting his decisions here. Sif says Thor would do the same for them. But didn't he ignore their pleas on Jotunheim to leave? Or is it that she means he'd break the rules for them? We comment again on how much we'd love to see the Asgardian high school show to see all of these characters when young. Heimdall's been watching as it turns out. What rank is Heimdall as it concerns the Warriors Three and Sif? Are they on the same level? Does Loki as king change that? Again, we love Idris Elba in the role, even if he doesn't get to do much. We dig into Heimdall a bit more from the comics as well. We wonder why Heimdall does his strange fake-out things so often in this film. There certainly is an element of a dangerous game that Heimdall plays with them here as far as his loyalties because he's essentially committing treason as they are. It's a fun minute with Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun the Grim, Sif, Heimdall, Miles, and Elisabeth. Tune in!

Minute Seventy-Six: From Drawing Yggdrasil to Stress Eating Joining us to chat more about Thor's attempt at drawing and explaining the Nine Realms, as well as Fandral's yelling at Volstagg about his stress eating are Miles Stokes and Elisabeth Allie from the podcast Thor: The Lightning and the Storm. In the seventy-sixth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We're closing out the RomCom rooftop art session between Thor and Jane. There's also a production code tried-and-true transition to the moon, then see the two of them sleeping next to each other. We discuss how far they went or not. Have people in Asgard ever seen a romantic Thor before? This really may be Thor's first time to explore this side of himself. How interesting to see them so chaste in their sleeping on the roof. We debate about the Nine Realms some more because there's always more time for this. To that end, there's plenty of room for inconsistency in the comics, so it almost makes sense that there's a continued inconsistency in the films as well Patrick Doyle's romantic theme continues here and we continue our adoration for it. To that end, we're fans of romance in the MCU and wish there was more. Yggdrasil comes up again, this time talking about literal versus metaphor versus thematics. But does Thor get any of the positions of the realms correct within Yggdrasil? And does it matter? What is Thor thanking Jane for? We discuss possibilities. Time to return to Asgard into the Healing Room. We debate why Branagh decided to cut into this scene with a shot of the pattern on the floor that then tilts up. Volstagg does some serious stress eating. Should Fandral be so demeaning to Volstagg about it? To that end, it's really not fun to watch Volstagg eat the way he does. It's... disgusting. Plus, you have a beard! Has no one taught you eating etiquette? We debate the strengths and weaknesses of the Warriors Three. Could the filmmakers have done more with them to make them more interesting characters? By simplifying them to single traits each, how much does that diminish them? And is that why they're completely written out by now? We comment how Volstagg may be less a dwarf archetype and more of a dwobbit. Our guests bring perspective on the Warriors Three and Sif from the comics, and it makes us really wish we had better from them. The god's eye view shot... does this signify that Heimdall is watching them? It's the end of the romantic scene (but not the end of the romance!) and some fighting in the Healing Room (if only it had been the War Room!).

Minute Fifty: From Odin's Last Command to Erik's Library Stop Joining us to discuss Loki's ascension to the throne, the shared disdain he and the Warriors Three & Sif share, and Erik in the library is Matt Carroll, one of the two co-hosts of the award-winning MCUCast and founder of the Stranded Panda Podcast Network. In the fiftieth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Loki seems like he's being insincere with his friends when he says he can't change Odin's last command, but he also seems somewhat right in what he says. But to that end, politicians change things all the time. Who would judge Loki if he went back on Odin's last command and brought Thor back, ending his banishment? What's with the lens flare in this scene? Sif clearly is the emotion character here. Her reaction is full of anger toward Loki. Clearly, he's already cut her hair. Fandral and Hogun hold Sif back when she rises up to attack Loki. That is very much a parallel to Erik holding Jane back from the SHIELD agents. No one looks thrilled about Loki being on the throne, or about the fact that he won't change Odin's last command, but they largely all start acting as if he really is king. Volstagg comes at Loki from a different direction, one that's more affable. But even this doesn't work to change Loki's mind about reversing Odin's last command. Is Volstagg laughing because he's being sincere or because he's nervous? We try to gauge what he's doing there. Interestingly, this moment of Volstagg's isn't in the script, and we're very much glad it is. What a look Sif gives Loki before she departs. And what's with Loki's interesting (and slight) move toward Sif? They both play this so well. Jaimie Alexander and Tom Hiddleston square off perfectly. This should be a showdown in the Old West. Where are their departing salutes? Because Odin's last command stands, Thor's still on Midgard and we join Erik in the Puente Antiguo library. No idea who the background actor is here in the library. So this email Erik sends is to Hank Pym! There was a scene with a librarian reading Norse mythology to kids. It was a bit on the nose. We're glad we don't have that. We try to figure out where this is in Puente Antiguo. It seems like it's in the Greyhound Station...? Last but not least, we look at the Read Campaign poster and its history.

Minute Forty-Eight: From Three Scientists on a Roof to Three Warriors (and Sif!) on a Mission Joining us to discuss iPods, Erik's connections to Bruce Banner and Hank Pym, and the horny shadow in the throne room is Matt Carroll, one of the two co-hosts of the award-winning MCUCast and founder of the Stranded Panda Podcast Network. In the forty-eighth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... The rooftop location wasn't in the script, which makes us think there's more of a connection to the moment in Iron Man 2. But perhaps it was just a location Branagh wanted to use to give the scene a bit more flavor. Remember iPods? Those were the days... Darcy's moment about her iPod does feel very much like the Darcy we see later in WandaVision where she gets distracted from the big thing by her smaller personal thing. It's amazing how well the writers created Darcy in this script and how hard a time they had developing the Warriors Three. Could it simply be that those characters are based on the comics? By the time the Warriors Three die in Thor: Ragnarok, we just don't care. That's frustrating because we should have cared. At this point in time, however, did Kevin Feige have enough of a handle on everything? And then Erik drops a hint about Bruce Banner. Or is it Samuel Sterns? On top of Darcy's concern about her iPod, Erik drops the Easter Egg that he knew Bruce Banner. There's some debate if it may be Samuel Sterns instead but we end up locking in on Banner. To that end, it's crazy how much retconning Feige and team did to shift The Incredible Hulk‘s, Iron Man 2‘s, and Thor's timelines so they all line up. We talk about this as we learn how much history there was with Erik, Bruce, Betty, and Jane's father at Culver University. There's also an Easter Egg that ties Hank Pym to Erik here as he references sending an email to a friend who knows about SHIELD. In the script, it's called out as Pym. So why did they change that? We come up with our own theories. Darcy has that last great moment when Erik mentions emailing Hank Pym, and she reminds him they took his laptop. Great rack focus here and more great dutch angles. Leaving conversations about Bruce Banner and Hank Pym for later seasons, we return to Asgard. Is it morning? Evening? Hard to tell, but you can see amazing stars when looking up to the heights of Valaskjalf. Fandral, Sif, Hogun and Volstagg seem to be running to get to the Allfather on their throne. They're also all saluting. We try to piece together more of the architecture of this space. We think we've got it figured out now. They each have their own reactions when they see who is sitting on the throne. Clearly, it's not Odin. We end on a great shadow on the wall of Loki on the throne. It's a conversation about dutch angles, rooftops, iPods, gamma studies, and the Asgardian throne room – and Matt Carroll's here for all of it. Tune in!

Minute Forty: From Talk of Treason to Talk of Heritage Joining us sadly for the last time this week is Jessica Plummer, author and contributing editor at Book Riot, as we discuss treason with the Warriors Three and Lady Sif as well as Loki's slowly growing need to know what's going on with his tranformations. In the Fortieth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... We complain about the fact that we have so few great moments like this with the Warriors Three. Jessica gives us some history on the Warriors Three and Jack Kirby's character types, showing how these largely pull from a set of archetypes he used often. Did Josh Lucas want more comedy and didn't get it so didn't come back, or could he see where the treatment of Fandral and the Warriors Three was headed when he opted to not return? It speaks to what Marvel's done with characters and actors now that they largely don't want to drop out because a small role can become so much more. There's even more of Fandral, Volstagg, Hogun and Sif in the script here and it's great material, but in context of the film, it's not necessary. Still, it speaks to how great they could have been as characters if they weren't used strictly as jokes so often. Could it be that they're also upset because they know Loki is now lined up to be king? Fandral seems to realize the line between mischief and treason. Was Loki meaning to be treasonous and committing a coup d'état? Loki approaches the Casket of Ancient Winters to find out the truth. Hiddleston is terrific in this moment as he debates whether to pick the Casket up or not. It seems clear to us that he knows the truth but does this to confirm what he knows. It's almost like Odin is drawn here at this moment as well. It's clear that it's too late for Odin to tell Loki the truth here, though perhaps it would've been a better option to have been cursed and not to have been stolen after the Battle against the Jotuns. We debate the spell on Loki and how it reveals his frost giant heritage but doesn't change his size. Odin's “Stop!” was scripted as stopping the Destroyer from blasting the person picking up the Casket. We talk about how the delivery feels like there's an intensity behind it so we debate if Hopkins thought he was acting against Hiddleston here or the Destroyer. But how does the Destroyer know when the wrong person is touching the Casket? Unrelated, Odin's outfit is so beautiful and it's finally not armor! And what about those marks on frost giant Loki? When we say baby Loki, we'll have to compare markings. Last but not least, we complain some more about the blue nature of both the Casket and the Tesseract, particularly how they came out in such close proximity. From treason talk with Thor's friends to frost giant heritage arguing between Loki and Odin, we have a lot to discuss with Jessica. Tune in!

Thor 039: Why So Suspicious, Hogun?

Minute Thirty-Nine: From Loki's Reveal to Hogun's Suspicion Joining us in the Healing Room all week is Jessica Plummer, author and contributing editor at Book Riot. We talk about Hogun the Suspicious and his suspicions. In the thirty-ninth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... It turns out Loki was paying attention to the conversation after all, not just staring at his hand with thoughts of his heritage. We debate Loki's reveal to the group here in the Healing Room. So he told the guard but it was to keep them safe. And like Thor, Loki reveals his royal heritage with the comment about flogging the guard. Hogun's healing massage of Volstagg's arm stops, which may be the sign that he's shocked. It's hard to tell with Hogun. We agree completely with Loki's comments on Thor as a terrible option for king. Why do Thor's friends seem to disagree? Are they just too close? This conversation makes us realize that without all of the happenings in this film, Thor really would've become the party Thor from What If...? show. We debate what Loki's full intentions were. Where is Loki's head in this moment? We truly see the origin story for Loki in moments like this. Loki isn't a full-on evil villain yet but we can see elements of that here now. How much is this frost giant blue element he's seeing in himself that's throwing him off in this conversation? The conversation about flogging the guard also speaks to distract his friends' attention from everything else he's saying. Loki storms out of the Healing Room and Sif, Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg debate his intentions. Each of the friends has their own reaction to Loki's reveal. Who is right? Their immediate suspicions of Loki make us wonder if Loki has ever been good at manipulating them or is only good at manipulating Thor. Or perhaps their jealousy of their friends with the royal blood shines through here? The Warriors Three and Sif seem as hot-headed as Thor, so perhaps they value this trait whereas Loki sees it as poor for leadership. Hogun's comment speaks to his supposed wisdom and plays with the concept that he doesn't speak much, but it also comes across as a huge leap in conclusions to say Loki or a master of magic could have brought the Jotuns to Asgard. The logic becomes Watsonian vs. Doylist – this suspicion of Hogun's feels like it has to be there simply so these characters are suspicious in the story. Would this scene have played still if they weren't suspicious at this moment? And to that end, how many masters of magic are there on Asgard? Is it just Loki and Frigga? But Odin uses magic too... So where is the line? Regardless, we struggle quite a bit with this leap – even if they're right – because it just seems too much a device by the writers. All in all, though, it's a debate with Loki while in the Healing Room. So much to discuss. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reel's Discord channel!

Thor 038: Thirsty, Anyone?

Minute Thirsty-Eight: From Healthy Muscles to a Healing Massage Joining us again is Jessica Plummer, author and contributing editor at Book Riot. We discuss more about thirst, Thor's attitude, how he speaks to people, and the Asgardian healing room. In the thirsty-eighth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... The thirst factor is still high as we kick off this minute with Jane still having a hard time not blatantly staring at Thor. Meanwhile, he gets ready to put the shirt on that she loaned him, only to find a Hello, My Name Is... sticker still attached. Turns out, we have another Easter egg buried in the name on that sticker – Donald Blake M.D. Marvel enjoys dropping Easter eggs in their films, which is a different perspective than the DC films use, where they largely avoid dropping them. But why? This shirt, however – does this mean Jane's had it for a long time but hasn't washed it? Or was it a recent break-up? Does the fact that this Thor fits perfectly so well imply that Jane has a type and Thor fits it perfectly? There was a point in development where the Donald Blake persona would be in the film and they were talking about Kevin McKidd playing him. Despite his hotness and Jane's (and our) thirst for him, Thor is rude. He clearly acts like royalty and treats everyone as if they're servants or commoners. Thor's comments about needing sustenance come off sounding like he's having an out of body experience. His mortal form? Could it be that he hasn't had a golden apple from Asgard in far too long and is actually feeling more mortal than he's ever felt before? Thor is hungry. Darcy is thirsty. But she and Erik share a look when Thor speaks the way he does. Clearly, they're tuned in to his crazy jabberings. We leave the thirst behind to journey to Asgard where we visit the Healing Room. It's Asgard at night! So they do flip around like a pancake in space! The striking difference between the rural and rundown look of Puente Antiguo and the opulence of Asgard stands out strong with this transition. Bo Welch's incredible production design gives so much weight to this scene. And did you know that's an enormous ram's head over the fire? We lay out what Hogun is actually doing here because it's never quite clear. Volstagg, Sif, and Fandral discuss why they shouldn't have let Thor go, but also how Thor saved them. Fandral seems the one we should be thirsty for but are we? Is there any thirst factor for him sitting here with his vest on and no shirt underneath? They know now that a guard told Odin where they were going but there still seems some debate if their journey was a smart idea or not. Loki seems to only be focused on the fact that his hand had turned blue earlier. With all his planning, Loki clearly struggles with this new information. Again, the opulence here – both in the production design and in the costumes – stands out as something to pay attention to. Meanwhile, in the MCU... We're still on June 10th and we talk a bit about what's happening in both The Incredible Hulk and in Iron Man 2. It's a conversation about hot bodies and the thirst that goes along with them, royal attitudes and how people react to them, and discussions in the healing room. Tune in!

Thor 033: How Much Damage Does Thor Do to the Triage Bay?

Minute Thirty-Three: From Triage to Townie ‘Jovial' Jay Shepard from the MCU: Location Scout joins us again to discuss Thor destroying the Triage Bay and a townie discovering Mjølnir's impact crater. In the thirty-third minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Nurse Terry kicks things off as he tries to draw blood from Thor. Thor will have none of it and proceeds to tear the Triage Bay apart, along with all the nurses, orderlies, security guards, and patients as well. Who styled Thor's hair so perfectly? Terry Dale Parks plays Nurse Terry. We run through the IMDb Game with him. Great face here, particularly from that worm's eye view shot we get. Parks likely lives and works in New Mexico, and we bet is not a utility stunt player as he pretty much avoids the action and stays at the back of the Triage Bay while Thor takes on the medical staff. We love Nurse Terry, but Nurse Rob just might be working for the Time-Keepers. Rob Mars just may be one of our new favorite stunt workers. He not only works hard to tackle Thor in this scene but he plays Ray Stevenson's stunt double as Volstagg in the film! That means we likely saw him already on Jotunheim. Rob has been a utility stunt player in so many of the MCU films but has also performed in small roles in some of the films and TV shows that we've seen him enough times to be convinced he perhaps works for the Time-Keepers. Thor doesn't have his powers but he's still powerful as he tears the Triage Bay apart. Until he's taken down with the same gag. We struggle with picturing Thor with no strength considering the body he has. Muscles and fighter tactics are still part of his everyday life. Odin only stripped his Asgardian powers from him after all. Considering the damage during this fight, we believe more strongly that this is a soundstage they've built for this fight. Plus, it likely made it easier for them when they did the original single long shot of the fight before it was cut down for the edit. Did you catch Thor's reference to his comic book title? He nearly calls himself ‘The Mighty Thor.' Chris Hemsworth plays the dumb oaf so well here. He also slides down glass like no one else in the MCU. Why does it work so well to have Thor taken down using essentially the same gag we just saw a few minutes ago? We revel in how well this still works. To that end, if you count him getting hit in the parking lot in a few minutes, they're doing their comedy in threes which has always been known to work. Thor calls them savages and demands healing stones in the extended version of this scene. Branagh's decision makes sense as perhaps in a world of super-science, healing stones seem too magical. We leave the Triage Bay and join a townie on a drive to an impact crater. As Thor gets tranqed in the Triage Bay, we leave him to follow a townie in a red Dodge pickup driving over a rise where we see an impact crater. We can tell that this is where Mjølnir landed, but our townie either heard it the night before and investigates or just happens upon it here. Who knows which? Why does he drive all the way around to the far side of it though? It's not really clear. We discuss a bit about how this could've been CG but with all the work that's going to happen here in the next act of the film, we figure it was actually dug out to look this way. Not only does this location not look like the same flat area Jane and her team were driving on last night, but also it turns out it wasn't even the same state where they filmed. Jane, Erik and Darcy crashed into Thor in New Mexico. They filmed this impact crater, while meant to be close by, in the Santa Clarita valley in California. To that end, did Odin specifically select this place for Mjølnir to land? Perhaps he wanted it close enough to Thor so he can find it but not too close? Or as we surmised a few minutes ago, Mjølnir perhaps slipped out of the Bifrost on its way down. From destroying the Triage Bay and everyone in it to a mysterious townie finding Mjølnir's impact crater, we fill this conversation with all sorts of juicy tidbits. Tune in!

Thor 026: How Does Thor Turn Midair?

Minute Twenty-Six: From an Upside-Down Jotun Beast to a Right-Side Up Jotun Army It's a special week with a new guest each day! Today's guest is Will Freeland from the Hype is my Superpower podcast. He's here to talk about the fate of the Jotun Beast with us as well as our first view of Thor's flight. But how does he do a midair turn? In the twenty-sixth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... The Jotun Beast continues running along the ceiling of the crust of the surface as the ground gives way. How it does this we have no idea. But we also don't really understand how such a thin surface stays up to begin with. Is it the chemical makeup of the ice on Jotunheim? We just have to write it off as something cool to look at but nonsense when you think about it too much. Kenneth Branagh directs the action really well, using all sorts of dutch angles, dark shots, god's eye views, and more and has stayed consistent throughout this film. To that end, we're okay with some of the nonsense of the Jotun Beast on the ceiling because the scene plays so well. We had never seen it before, but when Branagh cuts to the overhead of Sif running across the crumbling ice, you can actually see the Jotun Beast dart past her on the underside of the ice surface. We're calling this Bifrost Junction. It's the only logical name for it. The three of us debate about the spot where the Asgardians stop. It's a cliff edge. Andy's assumed it's the spot where they arrived via the Bifrost. Why else would the filmmakers make it another cliff edge? Will debates that it's likely just a distant spot where Heimdall will answer them when they call for him thinking they're far enough from the danger, but it's really hard to gauge. The runes aren't here from the Bifrost, which we've seen on Midgard. Is that just a Midgard thing? or did it perhaps get covered up with snow? We'll have to keep our eyes open for future Bifrost trips. We also debate about who actually calls for Heimdall. Is it Thor? He's pretty far... We settle on it being Volstagg. Will and Matthew struggle with the accent they gave Hogun. Heimdall doesn't answer but the Jotun Beast does. Apparently, the cave system leads to an exit on the cliff face? We're not really sure. Wow. We were going to have a moment of frosty breath stopping the Asgardians. The script originally had all the Frost Giants breathing out an Icy Fog. This fog keeps the Asgardians from seeing where they're going and Thor has Loki use his magic to clear it out. It's a very different scene. With that, however, are we meant to assume that Frost Giants are magic? And Will points out that if they had included this scene instead of the Jotun Beast, it would've given Thor moments of teamwork and leadership, which he doesn't have in the Jotun Beast version. This makes a lot more sense for the film and Thor's character arc. Is the Jotun Beast actually bigger now? It's hard to tell from this perspective. Thor takes flight by swinging his hammer. But how does he do a midair turn? We cut to Thor when the Jotun Beast shows up in front of his friends. Does this imply he sees it? Or hears it? Does Thor have Heimdall-level eyesight? This is a bit confusing. What's more confusing is how Thor flies off. We debate if Thor is flying toward his friends or away. Matthew thought he was flying away to get essentially a running start but after chatting about it, we feel pretty confident we landed on him flying toward them. Still, it's a bit odd how that shot is constructed. And how does Thor turn midair when he's throwing himself around using Mjølnir? Thor takes out the Jotun Beast. By flying through its head. Then lands perfectly after another (unseen) midair turn. Or several? But how does he keep himself so clean after flying through the back of the Jotun Beast's throat? And was it just one midair turn he had to make before landing or was it more a loop-de-loop? We debate about Marvel's depiction of violence and how they decided to show the killing of the Jotun Beast. Great design work on the Jotun Beast. Turns out, Matthew was right that the Rancor was part of its reference. We love how Thor lands with such a cocky and arrogant smile on his face, only to realize all the Frost Giants are behind him and his friends, essentially surrounding them. It's a great moment. When he's flying down here, we see the crumbled ground through Utgard, so how did Laufey and the Frost Giants get here so quickly? And we struggle a bit with the eye lines here when the Frost Giants arrive. It doesn't quite seem like they're actually taller than the Asgardians. It's a fun minute with Thor performing midair turn after midair turn, and of course the sad death of the Jotun Beast. Tune in!

Thor 025: Does Thor Realize Just How Much Damage His Lightning Will Cause?

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 5, 2021 24:48

Minute Twenty-Five: From Screaming Volstagg to Collapsing Utgard This week, we're joined by Cass Fredrickson from Lord of the Rings Minute at Dueling Genre Productions. We've got Mjølnir bringing the lightning, a collapsing city, and a run from a Jotun Beast to chat about and Cass is with us every step of the way! In the twenty-fifth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Volstagg's scream sure would've sent us running too, but then so would a giant Jotun Beast appearing from an ice shell directly behind us. How the hell do they always stay so far ahead of it? It's perpetually catching up to them as they race toward the Bifrost point. Where are they running to? The Bifrost landing point? Didn't Heimdall say Bifrost will remain closed if there's the chance they'd bring something back that could threaten Asgard? Wouldn't a charging Jotun Beast count? So are they... just running? Speaking of the Bifrost landing point, why does Heimdall have to pick them up at that one particular spot? Couldn't he get them from anywhere? This really makes no sense. Thor keeps the Frost Giants busy and presumably Laufey is seeing what Thor can do. Not quite lightning... but we're moments away. Why do they keep running straight at him? His Mjølnir spins are flicking ice shards at them and keeping them at bay, but is this for the benefit of his friends? The Frost Giants seem to be nothing more than lemmings. Just bring the lightning already! Is this Laufey's plan? To keep Thor separated from his group? There are, in fact, lots of Frost Giants running after them as well as the Jotun Beast. Is he hoping to capture everyone or is he trying to kill them all before Odin shows up? Or maybe Laufey wants to know what Thor can do and is testing his limits. Meanwhile, Loki, the Warriors Three, and Lady Sif continue their run from the Jotun Beast and the Jotuns. Now that he's injured, Fandral becomes our eyes as we see his POV over Volstagg's shoulder, watching the Jotun Beast grow closer over and over again. Sif manages to avoid getting hit. Hogun does as well. Seriously, how do they run so fast? Josh Dallas as Fandral works really well. We speculate why perhaps Dallas opted to stick with his TV show instead of returning for the sequels. Considering how the Warriors Three are treated, it makes sense. We get to see Mjølnir's power to bring the lightning down finally. This is such an iconic part of Thor and this film. It's so smart of them to hold it back until minute 25. It's neat to see that Thor actually strikes the ground with the end of the handle, not the head of the hammer, to control the lightning. The CG here holds up surprisingly well. The damage caused by Thor's lightning, however, might call into question just how much Thor can control the damage it would cause. To that end, we know Thor didn't realize Jotunheim was in such bad shape. But is he able to control this at all to make sure he doesn't destroy the entire planet? It's really Thor's dumb luck everything works. So many Frost Giants fall to their supposed deaths here because of Thor's actions. More of the planet falls to pieces. Even one of the towers of Utgardhall collapses. It's sad to lose Cass this week because we had great conversations with her about the Battle on Jotunheim, but we're glad to know she'll be back later this season for more conversation. Tune in!

Minute Twenty-Three: From Headbutts to Arm Grabs This week, we're joined by Cass Fredrickson from Lord of the Rings Minute at Dueling Genre Productions. Laufey ups the battle with Hailstrum and more frost giants and we see Loki's magic in action, so there's plenty to discuss! In the twenty-third minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Thor seriously is thumping his chest with his roar to match Hailstrum's. But how seriously is he taking this fight? After Hailstrum shows Thor that he's pretty strong too, Thor takes off his head with a toss of Mjølnir. So is this a war he's starting? Has he ever been in a serious fight or has Odin always sent him in to the less serious fights? All these battles are also told from the point of view of the victors. How does that affect our opinions of Thor leading his friends here to fight? And to that end, does Thor see the Frost Giants as anything other than things to kill? I mean, when they're hit, that part explodes in shards of ice. So realistically, the violence depicted is actually pretty tame despite a massive slaughter taking place here on Jotunheim. I mean, Frost Giants shatter into ice when hit. No blood. So it's PG-13 friendly. Mjølnir's Powers are pretty damn cool. It's so fun watching Thor fight with Mjølnir, and here we get to see that it returns to him when thrown. Is Thor's pose of catching the hammer repeated when Captain America catches it in Endgame? The Warriors Three, Sif, and Loki seem more focused on teamwork than Thor does. The battle gets tougher. Hogun comes to Sif's aid. Volstagg lets everyone know that when a Frost Giant touches you, it necrotizes your skin. Why does Thor not work with everyone as a team? Is he too focused on himself? Or is it just that we really want to see what sort of cool stuff he can do? Loki doesn't really play fair, but then again that's war right? We feel okay with it because it's basically how wars are fought. But how did he get behind the pillar? We're not really sure. And to that end, is Loki's magic just magic? Or is it some other fancy sort of super-advanced science? They will call it magic later in the films and TV show... Hrm... What's with his silly flourish when he ‘turns off' his illusion? Is it just so we know that it's all with his hands? And what's this berserker Frost Giant thinking by charging to tackle Loki on the edge of a chasm? Was it like a suicide mission? We've got Fimbuldraugr, Hridgandr, and Brandrheid Undrsigr as the weapons of the Warriors Three. Why aren't Sif's sword and shield named? Or Loki's daggers? Or Loki's magic, for that matter? We're fans of Sif using her shield to protect herself from the ice bullets one Frost Giant creates and hurls at her when he strikes a puddle, but how is there standing water on this planet? Isn't everything frozen? And why would they name Hogun's, Fandral's, and Volstagg's weapons but not Sif's? We're a bit irked about that. We're all very grateful that Branagh excised the moment where Volstagg uses his mighty belly to take down a Frost Giant. Sheesh. The surprise about Loki's heritage comes up. But where does Loki's magic come from? What did we think was happening when we first saw the Frost Giant grab his arm and turn it blue? Whose magic is keeping Loki from looking like a Frost Giant? Who is playing this Frost Giant though? Andy had worked with the actor who the MCU Wiki claims is playing this role and is pretty sure it's not him. Perhaps Richard Cetrone? One other nice thing, though, is that this payoff comes so quickly after the setup of the Frost Giant touch that it's really not a problem for any of us. More fighting. Some teamwork (but not from Thor) and a surprise reveal about Loki when we see his arm turn blue. We dig in deep this minute. Tune in!

Minute Twenty-One: From Arguing About Odin to Accepting Laufey's Offer This week, we're joined by Cass Fredrickson from Lord of the Rings Minute at Dueling Genre Productions. Cass chats with us about all things Thor, Laufey, Loki, frost giants, and the Frost Giant Sentry in today's episode. In the twenty-first minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Laufey finally stands up and we can see where he's standing. Is he abnormally large? The size seems off considering the size of that arch he's standing under. What's Laufey's strategy? Is he egging Thor on to fight? Or is it a delicate balancing act he's doing here trying to get the Asgardians to leave without losing face in front of his Jotuns? Meanwhile, does Thor realize they're completely surrounded by frost giants? Not to mention they've walked into an enclosed space, essentially trapping themselves? Sif and Volstagg clearly understand what's going on. Why doesn't Thor? While Laufey speaks, his frost giants begin arming themselves with their ice weapons. The frost giants form ice weapons on their arms that act both as swords and shields. To that end, we spend a bit of time trying to figure out what we're looking at in that second shot of two legs and two ice weapons forming. Cass helps us realize we're staring at a space between two frost giants, not between the legs of one frost giant. That would've been a bit more awkward. Part of our challenge is that it's such a dark sequence. It makes sense for the context of the film, but it's just hard to tell what's going on, even walking through frame by frame. Another reminder that the sun is out – it's day on Jotunheim. And still is this dark. Is Volstagg a long lost member of Gimli's family? We find it funny that they really made him seem so dwarf-like in this film. Perhaps because of the success of the Lord of the Rings films? Did you know they named the weapons for the warriors three in this film? We talk about Volstagg's battleaxe. But how practical is it really? We never mentioned the appearance of the Jotun beast in the last minute! We correct our error and touch on that first time we get to see the frozen Jotun beast – or frost beast or frost creature, depending on where you look – was in minute 20. How could we forget such an important thing to point out? Perhaps because we were too busy discussing Sif's footwear. Loki tries to change Thor's mind, but Thor just won't listen, and now Laufey sends out the Frost Giant Sentry to confront and intimidate them. Meanwhile, Loki hops in to try convincing Thor that they should accept Laufey's offer and leave. How far ahead did Loki plan? And what did Laufey actually know? We try to decipher Thor's line “Know your place, brother.” Is there a military aspect to this line? Or just the brothers? Is there an element relating to their princely roles? Thor really just seems so much the high school bully here, and that's part of his character arc that we enjoy. Finally, Laufey sends his frost giant sentry to intimidate Thor and Loki. It seems to work for Loki who uses the moment to accept Laufey's offer, though Thor's look seems to imply he's not thrilled with Loki's call. And to pay off our conversation a few weeks ago about Laufey and if he looks older, we do feel he does actually appear more gaunt than he did when we first saw him. The frost giants are getting ready for battle. We have a great time talking about them and everything else in this minute. Tune in!

Minute Nineteen: From Outskirts to In Town It's a special week indeed with not one but two guests joining us as we take the long walk into downtown Utgard – Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell from the Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast. In the nineteenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Hogun the Grim is, well, grim about their situation. Quite honestly, however, this plays much better than how it was originally scripted. It gives us more interaction between the Warriors Three, Lady Sif, and Thor, but at the expense of the darker mood. That may speak, however, to the feel that we get from this group feeling very much like a group of college friends heading out to cause some trouble. The walk through the town of Utgard is full of blue and gray bleakness. We know Jotunheim is largely ice, but it's dark and bleak and makes it hard to see things a bit. For instance, we only just realize that these tall structures which have the vibe of a cave's stalactites and stalagmites are actually ruins of buildings in what we feel are the outskirts of this Jotun city. Speaking of Jotun cities, this is never identified but the comics identify the primary Jotun city which is named Utgard. Laufey's tower from where he rules is called Utgardhall. Again, it's never confirmed but we're going to go with it. Speaking of Jotuns, which are of course the frost giants, Jotunheim actually was the home of all giants in Norse mythology, not just frost giants. That seems to be something Marvel decided for its universe. Thor, Sif, Loki, Fandral, Volstagg, and Hogun, still walking in their same formation, travel through many beautiful shots of crumbling desolation. Again, when the Casket of Ancient Winters left the planet, Jotunheim started falling apart. That's likely why Utgard looks so rough and unrecognizable from what we saw in Odin's flashback. Utgard and Jotunheim are falling apart. To that end, why would Laufey make such a terrible deal for himself and his people? The minute ends with the group of Asgardians coming closer to Utgardhall at the center of Utgard. (See? We said we were going it it and we are.) At the last moment, we see Jotunheim's sun shining from behind Utgardhall's towers. That surprises us because we thought it was night all this time. Turns out, it's just a cold sun that gives no heat. It's a minute through which we journey but likely a much longer walk for our warriors across Jotunheim. Still, so much to discuss. Tune in!

Thor 018: How Do You Land When Traveling Via Bifrost?

Minute Eighteen: From Asgard to Jotunheim It's a special week indeed with not one but two guests joining us on a trip through the Bifrost – Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell from the Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast. In the eighteenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Heimdall finally finishes his warning in his stilted English. Volstagg delivers a silly line that does nothing for us except provide an opportunity to deliver Chekov's ‘full power of the Bifrost.' Everyone looks worried except for Thor, who delivers one of his best lines in the film: “I have no plans to die today.” Heimdall, of course, has an equally brilliant retort: “None do.” Tripping the Bifrost Fantastic Heimdall activates the Bifrost wormhole and each member of the group gets yanked by what looks like their stomach into it. This looks like an incredibly cool way to travel, but also looks like everyone would be throwing up. Since they left Valaskjalf, the group has been traveling in what we must assume is their ready positions: Thor in front, Sif and Loki just behind him, and Fandral, Volstagg, and Hogun behind them. Once they're pulled into the rainbow of the Bifrost, they seem to change positions. Does it reverse them? While we're in it, it seems that Thor's still in front but once they burst out over Jotunheim, Thor is third. And since it's Thor, he's working past the others to get back in front. He passes someone holding a weapon and the only person that was holding one in the Observatory was Volstagg. So it must've reversed it, right? And really, no surprise that Thor's pushing to be in front. How do you land when traveling through the Bifrost? Do you have to somehow turn yourself so you land feet first? Does the Bifrost turn you? Is it a gentle landing or do you really come in traveling at light speed? None of this makes us want to try it any time soon. The Bifrost Dumps Them on Jotunheim. The six Asgardians land on Jotunheim. Thor looks around. We saw the planet was encircled by chunks in space so presumably the planet has been falling apart since Odin took the Casket of Ancient Winters, but is this Thor's first time here? Did he realize it would look so desolate and broken? And as it turns out, Heimdall dumped them on the edge of a cliff. Was that intentional as a way to poke Thor a bit for his attitude pre-Bifrost trip? Or does he have any control over where he drops people on any given Realm? It's a wild trip through the Bifrost and we have a great conversation along the way with our guests. Tune in!

Thor 017: How Does Heimdall's Observatory Actually Work?

Minute Seventeen: From Thor's Demand to Heimdall's Warning It's a special week indeed with not one but two guests joining us as we tour Heimdall's Observatory – Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell from the Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast. In the Observatory-heavy seventeenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Thor is a bit pushy with his demands to get into Heimdall's Observatory. Well, it seems like he's already made up his mind that he's going, but does Heimdall remember that only he has the key? Speaking of the key, that sword that Heimdall is holding? That's Hofund, Heimdall's sword. It was made by the same dwarves that made Mjolnir and Gungnir. And it also is the key to turn on Heimdall's Observatory. So Thor, Loki, Sif, and the Warriors Three just walk in, assuming they're good. Volstagg has a snarky line he throws at Loki. Let's just be glad we didn't get all of the comedy that was scripted. And again, Heimdall just walks in after them. So I guess that's his way of saying yes? A tour of Heimdall's Observatory First off, the actual name for the observatory is Himinbjorg. So how far is it from Valaskjalf to Himinbjorg as the raven flies? We're all fairly mesmerized by Kenneth Branagh's decision to film the inside from the top looking straight down. It's a bit dizzying but a very cool angle to show the Observatory. Heimdall uses Hofund as the key by inserting into a slot in the dais at the center of the Observatory. When he does this, lightning shoots out in all directions, looking very much like Yggdrasil. That was intentional and looks really cool. As that happens, we get a surprising move by the camera as it drops through the floor to reveal the inner workings of the Observatory. Things start spinning and the entire shell of the building starts rotating. It's one of the coolest things ever. The entire shell of Heimdall's Observatory then tips down, pointing the turret horizontally. As soon as it hits horizontal, bifrost energy shoots out into space. So this is how the bifrost energy in the rainbow bridge allows for wormhole travel? At this point, as Thor and his group stare into the bifrost through the turret of the Observatory, Heimdall starts a warning about honoring something but we don't get to hear it all as the minute comes to an end. So much to see and talk about in Heimdall's Observatory. Tune in! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on TruStory FM's Discord channel!

Minute Fifteen: From Team-Building to Bridge-Crossing Ashley Coffin from the MCU Podcast is joining us this week to invade Jotunheim. Check her and her shows out at the links below! In the fifteenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Thor reminds the Warriors Three and lady Sif what his father Odin went through to defeat Laufey and bring the casket back last time. He says they would just be going for answers. They're not going to invade Jotunheim. How many times have you heard that before? “I swear, I'm only having one drink.” After Sif says it's forbidden, Thor chuckles then seems to take a page from Loki's book as he tries to manipulate them all into agreeing to join. What terrible reasoning though! He's basically just saying how much fun they had before and that's enough reason to invade Jotunheim this time. So silly! But what's forbidden? To disobey Odin? Or to invade Jotunheim? Maybe it's Thor's charisma, then, because they all agree to join. Even Loki, in the extended scene, agrees to join the fight. Did Loki expect to be going? Or did he make a quick pivot when Thor asked him to go? He's pretty crafty so it would make sense. What's with Volstagg's strange flourish he does with his seasonings for his Dagwood-style cheese and bread sandwich? And off they go to invade Jotunheim. The overhead shot of the six riders racing along the streets of Asgard is breathtaking. We love seeing the giant statues hovering over them. So the rainbow bridge isn't just a rainbow like in the comics. It's impressive how they designed it to be solid of some sort with light streaks inside that are the colors of the rainbow. How do they get through the gate? How much sneaking is involved with their plan of theirs? It seems like a lot of people know. But obviously Loki's up to something as we see him whisper to a guard in the extended scene. Hogun sees as well. Why doesn't he say anything? Maybe it's that whole thing of assuming Loki's making an excuse to Odin as to why they're going somewhere. The extended scene also has some terrible exposition about Heimdall. As if they'd never met him before. Glad that's gone. Definitely moments of bad wig vs. great hair here! Did you notice the electronic notes rising up and down under Thor's theme as they cross the bridge? We're pretty sure Mark Mothersbaugh did as well because these seem to be at the forefront of his score for Thor: Ragnarok. Everything's great in this minute as the six head to invade Jotunheim, but that rainbow bridge shot is worth writing home about. We have a great time covering all of these elements and more. Tune in!

Minute Fourteen: From Manipulation to Madness Ashley Coffin from the MCU Podcast is joining us this week as the Warriors Three and Lady Sif join Thor and Loki. Check her and her shows out at the links below! In the fourteenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Loki sits and listens to Thor. Eventually, he finally speaks. He tells Thor he's right and that Daddy's wrong. He's also concerned the frost giants might be coming through with an army soon. That leads to Thor getting riled up. Now, he is ready to ride to Jotunheim. That's when Loki tries to make it clear that he didn't want this, but we really know he did. Damn, he's good. And how many times has Loki sat through Thor's tantrums? But is it weird Thor calls his coronation day his ‘day of triumph'? Like it's some victory to be won? Forget about all that! It's the Warriors Three and Lady Sif! So the Warriors Three arrive with Lady Sif. They seem surprised by the upset table, Volstagg in particular. And this is the same entrance we saw in the extended scene last minute. So why does Volstagg have to be played for the jolly fat man jokes? We get it – it's in the comics. We just don't like it. Perhaps that's why they were all thinned out so much. They're not that great. Because of their arrival, Loki gets conspiratorial with Thor. Sif watches with suspicion. Outside of that, have we mentioned how much we love the production design? Apparently, the Warriors Three and Sif can't really hear what's being said. They all just watch like creepers. In fact, it's not until Loki says "It's madness" that it piques Volstagg's curiosity: “What sort of madness?” And that's when Thor reveals they're going to Jotunheim. Wait... Fandral is here? We almost forgot he was one of the Warriors Three. Fandral says it's serious – it's not just a fun trip to Earth to hang out with the mortals. But is it weird that he calls it Earth, not Midgard? And that he refers to them as mortals? Or is this just the filmmakers speaking down to their audience? But really, it's great seeing Fandral and the rest pipe up. Without the deleted and extended scenes, however, this is really the first time we see these three interacting at all with Thor, other than his nod to them at the coronation. How are we meant to know they're prominent characters? Isn't it odd that this is essentially how we meet them? The extended scene gives us more of the Warriors Three and Sif trying to convince Thor it's a bad idea. Again, do we need more of them? We love Loki and his manipulation, and this is a good minute for it. We have a great time covering all of these elements and more. Tune in!

Minute Thirteen: From a Broken Truce to a Creeping Brother Ashley Coffin from the MCU Podcast is joining us this week to talk war with Jotunheim. Check her and her shows out at the links below! In the thirteenth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Thor complains about Laufey breaking the truce and he wants war. Odin believes the guilty party – these three frost giants – paid for their actions with their lives. So who's right? Should they be more concerned about an impending attack by the frost giants? Does diplomacy work using the gentler approach? And will Odin call Laufey on the red phone to chat with him about this? But Anthony Hopkins plays Odin so perfectly here with such calm. It's only when Thor pushes too far that Odin raises his voice, and it's one of the best moments in the movie. Meanwhile, Loki just watches. It's such an interesting portrayal that Tom Hiddleston does here. What's he thinking? Was he assuming the Destroyer would kill the frost giants? And was this all a big ruse just to get Thor to go to Jotunheim? Regardless, he's such a fascinating character. Easy to love, and dead sexy. Thor pouts about not getting to invade Jotunheim. Because he didn't get what he wanted, Thor has a tantrum by flipping a table. We're glad they didn't use the extended scene because it shows how awful Thor is to the wait staff here in Valaskjalf. He really is a spoiled prince. Probably doesn't tip either. But what's with all the pumpkins on the tables? And did you notice the golden apples of Idunn? Loki sneaks in, just like frost giants from Jotunheim sneaking into Odin's vault. As that's happening, Loki arrives, but in the extended scene, we see the Warriors Three and Lady Sif get there first. Volstagg's concerned about the destroyed food from Thor's tantrum. Sheesh. We debate if the movie would benefit with more of the Warriors Three or less. So when Loki arrives, it's from behind a pillar. He had to have been watching Thor have his tantrum, and how he's creeping in to weave his web. It's pretty brilliant. Odin kills it in this scene, Loki hasn't said a word yet which works for his character really well, and Thor just wants war with Jotunheim. So typical.

// Wasser, ein Hundertbuchstabenwort für Donner und wenn Übersetzer aufgeben // In unserer vierten Episode spricht Elias mit Oliver Siebeck. Oliver Siebeck ist ein umtriebiger Synchron-Schauspieler und Hörbuchsprecher. Regelmäßig leiht er z.B. Ray Stevenson seine Stimme, zuletzt auf großer Leinwand in der Rolle des Volstagg in “Thor: Tag der Entscheidung” (2017). Und für Audible interpretierte er u. A. Terry Goodkinds große “Schwert der Wahrheit” Fantasy-Reihe. Sie reden bei Wasser (und zum Schluß auch bei Brot) unter Anderem über Science-Fiction Literatur, Synchron vs. O-Ton, “seine wilde junge Zeit” und über James Joyce und sein letztes Werk “Finnegans Wake”, welches Oliver in Form eines alten englischen Taschenbuchs mitgebracht hat und uns nach dem “Bibelstechen-Prinzip” etwas daraus vorliest. Unübersetzbar. :) Das versprochene Foto seines “zerarbeiteten” Exemplars gibt es auf unserer Facebookseite. Und hier noch Joyce’ Wort für “Donner” zum mitlesen (Minute 44): Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronn-tuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk.

Saludos a Frederic Werthan. Enhorabuena a Victor Lozano de nuevo que ha vuelto a ganar otro concurso de Mensaheros y se ha llevado el Joker de la película Lego Batman. Que por cierto “JURAMOS” que no tenemos ninguna comisión por parte de Warner para que la gente vaya a ver Batman Lego. Esto lo decimos porque varios oyentes han ido a ver la película después de nuestra crítica del mes pasado. El sorteo de este mes no es ni más ni menos que el tomo de Tokyo Ghost, que, gracias a Norma Editorial que nos lo cede para sortear, podréis optar a llevároslo únicamente siguiendo a @normacomicsbcn y escribiendo un twitter con #losmensaheros. · Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/normaeditorial/ · Twitter: @NormaEditorial · Instagram: @norma_editorial – Nunca sabes cuánto bien pueden hacer tu afición por los comics o los mangas Y si no, que se lo pregunten a Manuel Salinas Villas, un estudiante mejicano que se graduó en Ciencias de la comunicación de la Universidad Autónoma de México, haciendo la Tesis de la serie “Caballeros del Zodiaco” del grandísimo Masami Kurumada. Esta tesis se hizo en 2008 y se título “La figura del héroe mítico como factor de interés en el anime de los caballeros del Zodiaco” Y decían que ser Friki no le iba a servir de nada a este muchacho. -Estrenado el primer tráiler de Krypton. Os hemos hablado en otras ocasiones de esta precuela de la vida de Superman. ¿Quieren copiar Gotham? La serie tratará sobre los hechos que llevaron a la destrucción de Krypton el planeta de Superman y se centrara en Seg-El, que es el abuelo de Superman La serie la podremos ver en Syfy y el episodio piloto ha sido escrito por David S.Goyer e Ian Goldberg – Nuevo personaje de DC que ficha por CW para protagonizar una serie. (Noticia proporcionada por Dany Extreme) Black Lightning es Jefferson Pierce un chico afroamericano que en un principio no tiene poderes y un amigo le fabrica un traje con un cinturón que le confiere la posibilidad de crear rayos de energía. En los comics durante una sobrecarga el cinturón explosiona y finalmente los poderes se le quedan permanentes a Jefferson. Esta serie comenzó a gestarse en FOX pero o bien por la falta de confianza o por la carga de trabajo que tienen FOX la ha abandonada y CW ha tomado el relevo. De hecho ya ha dado luz verde al piloto que en otoño estará disponible. El productor va a ser Greg Berlanti que creó a Arrow, Flash y Legends of Tomorrow. Por lo que seguramente en caso de que exista finalmente una temporada completa seguramente la incluirán en el universo compartido de estas series. – Ni Ron Pearlman, ni Stephen Lang (Villano de avatar) ni Pierce Brosnan o ni siquiera Russel Crowe, al final el papel de Cable se lo lleva Tanos (Josh Brolin). Nos tenían bastante despistados sobre quien iba a hacer de Cable en la nueva película de Deadpool. Incluso su creador Rob Liefeld envió unos cuantos tweets a Russel Crowe pidiéndole que debería leerse la historia de Cable, y aquí el amigo “Gordieitor” contestó que si Ryan Reynolds tenía interés en que él fuese Cable, seguro que encontraría la forma de hacerlo. O a Brad Pitt le pidieron usar su físico para unos diseños artísticos. Pues bueno la jugada de despiste ha funcionado bastante porque incluso cuando nos han confirmado que quien va a protagonizar al hijo de Scott Summers es el mismo Tanos yo me he quedado con el culo torcido. Josh Brolin no solo protagoniza a Thanos y ahora a Cable, también encarnó a Jonah Hex en la película de 2010. Película por cierto para “esto lo van a ver dos personas”. Por lo que han confirmado Cable aparecerá en 4 películas de momento y se especula que además de Deadpool 2 y Deadpool 3 y de un SpinOff de su personaje, podría entrar en el proyecto de Fuerza-X. También se confirmó la actriz que dará vida a la mutante Domino que será Zazie Beetz. – Noticia para enfadarnos. En este mundo tan fantástico donde predominan los Superheroes en lugar de las superheroinas, todos sabemos lo difícil que cuesta que una de ellas logre escalar posiciones y se coloque en lo que a popularidad se refiere a la altura de iconos tales como Batman o Superman. Pero una de ellas lo ha logrado, Wonder Woman tanto en las colecciones de comic como en la aceptación que tuvo al ser incluida en el universo cinematográfico de DC ha demostrado estar capacitada y ser plena merecedora de compartir este éxito con los grandes. Sabemos además que Diana Prince ha sido aplaudida y vitoreada como ícono de poder y un ejemplo para las niñas del mundo. Hace muy poco la echaron y despojaron del título de embajadora Honoraria que le dieron en la ONU porque enseñaba demasiada cacha y ahora “agarraos que llegan curvas”, al imbécil de turno al ver el tráiler de la próxima película de Wonder Woman se ha puesto a criticar a la muchacha porque lleva las axilas rasuradas. Parece ser que en el estreno del tráiler cuando en un momento de una batalla Diana levanta los brazos, se puede observar claramente como tiene las axilas depiladas completamente, un detalle decisivo para definir el rumbo de la humanidad. Y entonces las redes se colapsaron: Lil Saguaro: Ok la película de wonder Woman parece buenísima pero, porque Diana lleva las axilas depiladas? Drug Monkey: ¿Debería una amazona como WonderWoman tener las axilas depiladas? Chis Pine in 50: ¿Porqué Wonder Woman no tiene las axilas peludas?, estoy harto de este feminismo Another New dad: Yo soy el primero que defiende las mujeres fuertes, pero no compro la idea que Wonder Woman se depile las axilas. El argumento según estos buscabullas es que, al estar aisladas del mundo, las amazonas de Themyscira no tendrían los estándares de belleza que conocemos y dejarían sus cuerpos lo más naturales posibles, además, añaden estos pellizcacristales que la costumbre del depilado comenzó en 1922. O sea que, Wonder woman vuela, tiene un lazo mágico, unos brazaletes increíbles, lucha contra monstruos, tiene un amigo que habla con los peces, y otro extraterrestre que lleva capa roja pero cuando hablamos de las axilas con pelo, ahí sí que debemos preocuparnos por la precisión histórica. – Noah Hawley, creador de la serie Legión, ya va a por la segunda temporada. El éxito de la serie Legion ha sorprendido a todos debido a que Noah ha abordado el universo X-Men de una manera muy diferente a cualquier otra serie de Superheroes. De cara a la segunda temporada parece que la unión con X-Men será mayor que en esta primera pero siempre de forma sutil. Es decir habrá pequeños guiños que solo los fans podrán pillarlos -El Power Ranger Rojo acusado de matar a su compañero de piso con una espada. Ricardo Medina Jr actor portorriqueño que hizo de Power Ranger rojo en la serie de Televisión se declaró culpable de matar a su compañero de apartamento con una espada. Ha sido condenado a 6 años y por lo que parece fue una pelea la cual Ricardo quiso evitar encerrándose en su habitación pero su compañero forzó la puerta y fue allí donde Ricardo le atacó con la espada. -Mensajes antisemitas en un comic de los X-Men El dibujante de Marvel indonesio Ardian Syaf se ha disculpado en redes sociales por lo que parecen ser guiños sectarios contra el judaísmo y el cristianismo dentro de las viñetas de X-Men Gold Los dibujos han sido entendidos como un ataque contra el gobernador cristiano de Yakarta. En una de las viñetas podemos ver como la mutante judía Kitty Pryde tapa parcialmente el letrero de una joyería Jewellry en inglés de forma que se lee Jew que quiere decir judía. En esa misma viñeta hay un edificia con el número 212 que hace referencia a una fecha de una protesta que hicieron los musulmanes el 2 de diciembre en Yakarta en contra del gobernador. Además Colossus lleva en otra viñeta una camiseta con la inscripción QS 5:51 que hace referencia a un versículo del Corán que prohíbe a los musulmanes elegir a un líder cristiano o judío. Por todos estos guiños que el dibujante colocó en esta edición de Marvel Gold de los X-Men , Marvel emitió un comunicado en el cual anunció el desconocimiento de esos mensajes y destituyó inmediatamente al dibujante, que ha aceptado lo que hizo afirmando que su carrera está acabada y que asume esta consecuencia. Y pide disculpas por todo el ruido que ha provocado. -A Powerless no la han dejado ni acabar. El canal NBC ni corto ni perezoso le ha metido un buen puñetazo a la serie Powerless, de hecho no ha dejado ni que acabe y aún faltaban 3 episodios de la primera temporada. La serie no traía ni malas ni buenas críticas y las audiencias eran más bien malas. Parece ser que a medida que la serie iba avanzando se reescribían guiones y eso no ha sentado del todo bien a NBC ya que buscaban una serie sólida, no algo que fuera cambiando sin tener ningún éxito. O sea que ahora tendremos que esperar a ver si la opción de Marvel para emitir su primera comedia se pega un buen batacazo como esta o por el contrario triunfa. -Nos estamos acostumbrado a anunciar cada mes nuevos personajes para hacer películas de DC Este es el turno de Booster Gold que aunque está preparándose la película y ya casi tienen escogido al actor protagonista (spodría ser Miz un luchador de la WWE) parece ser que no va a entrar en el Universo Cinematográfico de DC Booster Gold trata sobre Michael Jon Carter que vive en el siglo XXV y allí es jugador de Futbol americano, hasta que roba varios artilugios como un anillo de vuelo y un cinturón de campo de fuerza de Brainiac del museo Espacial y utilizando la máquina del tiempo de Rip Hunter viaja a la época actual y se construye un traje con todo lo robado. -Vosotros diríais que hay muchos actores que han interpretado a más de un Superheroe?? Ranking hecho por fotogramas Tenemos la suerte de vivir una época en la que los creadores de ideas para hacer películas o tienen muy poca originalidad o realmente el público es lo que pide y por eso no paran de sacar una tras otra película basada en la vida de uno ó de varios Superhéroes. El problema es que realmente el abanico de actores parece que no sea muy amplio porque hemos encontrado 10 actores que han interpretado en dos ocasiones a diferentes Superhéroes. -El siempre irreconocible Doug Jones dio vida a Abe Sapien en Hellboy y Hellboy 2 y a Silver Surfer en la película de los 4 fantásticos. -El amigo Ben Affleck que el año pasado debutó como Batman en Batman V Superman, no debemos olvidar que interpretó a Matt Murdock en la película de Daredevil (en este caso el Ben Affleck de DC arrasa al de Marvel) -Ryan Reynolds, creo que en este caso tenemos otro ejemplo de un personaje para olvidar y otro para enmarcar la fallida Green Lantern de 2011 y el exitazo Deadpool de 2016. Aquí es Marvel quien vence a DC. Además en Blade Trinity interpretó a Hannibal King -Ray Stevenson interpretño a Volstagg el compañero barbudo de Thor en las dos películas del Dios nordico y también interpretó en 2008 a Frank Castle en The Punisher de 2008 -Chris Evans, en este caso dos veces que ha interpretado a personajes de Marvel, y además dos personajes que podían haber tenido relación en el caso que 4 Fantásticos hubiera sido exitosa. Interpretó a Johny Storm (La antorcha Humana) y a Steve Rogers el Capitan America en el nuevo Universo Cinematográfico Marvel -Ellen Page dio vida a Kitty Pride en las películas “La decisión final” y “Dias de un futuro pasado” de X-Men y aunque menos recordado fue Libby en la película Super de James Gunn (2010) -Aaron Taylor Johnson saltó a la fama vestido con un pijama verde y unas porras en la saga Kick Ass y más tarde en el 2015 pudimos verlo con otro pijama en Vengadores la Era de Ultron haciendo el papel de Quicksilver. -Nuestro querido Nicolas Cage, hizo un papel espectacular en como Big Daddy en Kick Ass, y también pudimos verlo cabalgando encima de la moto de Ghost Rider en dos ocasiones. -Otro papel para olvidar y otro para enmarcar. Halle Berry interpretó patéticamente a Catwoman en 2004 y aunque no dejó de vestir de cuero se pintó el pelo de blanco para interpretar a Tormenta de los X-men, papel que ha bordado en las 4 películas de la franquicia.
