THOR PATREON WATCH ALONG!

Comments

Ethan Wallace

Thor very much was a Shakespearean drama. Probably helped that Branagh and some of the actors had experience with Shakespeare. The banishment scene and the Thor is worthy scene at the end had me tearing up a bit in the theater. I was listening to the soundtrack for a month after to relive the emotions. (Branagh also played Professor Lockhart in The Chamber of Secrets.) Loki is a master illusionist and manipulator. In the end credit scene, he's manipulating Dr. Selvig from the shadows to accomplish his goal. I must admit, watching the MCU with you and through your eyes is like watching the movies for the first time again with the same geeky glee I felt in May 2011. It's quite amazing!

No time traveling, Asgardians are basically immortal.

Yes Shanelle, the post credited scene is just an introduction to the power folks are seeking. More talk about what it is comes later. Also you asked what Loki was doing, and best thing to say is what you said, he was shadowing Slevik. Not to give anything away. Yes, the emotions and full body chills hit me too. But mostly because it’s hitting you the same way it hit me all those years ago. When the Stan Lee scene came up I was shocked that you didn’t call it out and wondered if you missed it. So sad. Did you go back to look at it? So during that no shirt Thor scene, you looked quite um,.. satisfied. Never seen you give that look for so long. I couldn’t be happier that you are doing the MCU and are at least enjoying ride. I was scared the extreme fantastic nature of this one would have you hating it.

Comics: Thor made his first appearance in Journey into Mystery #83 (1962) The story of this film is very similar to the comics where Odin deeming Thor too arrogant banishes him to present day Earth with no memory of his Asgardian pass. Thor takes up the identity of Dr. Don Blake visiting Scandinavia where he discovers a walking stick that can turn into his hammer Mjolnir giving him his powers back and becoming Thor again. I'll stop here as future films take inspiration from what happens next in the comics. The early Kirby's Thor comics are stunning, very colourful with Kirby's Asgard being one of the coolest locations in comics, rainbow bridge with planets, stars, and moons in the background with this advance looking futuristic Asgard atop a floating rock in space. It's all very cosmic and wonderful something the film captured pretty well it was just much darker in overall tone capturing the tone of the more modern Thor comics. But Asgard still felt cosmic and godly so they did an amazing job. Thor Ragnarok directed by Taika Waititi is closer to those 1960 to 1970s comics I've mentioned. Overall thoughts: I personally have never cared for Thor as a character so I skipped the first two Thor films when they came out. But I did go back after The Avengers (2012) and watch the first Thor film and had a fun time exploring the origins of MCU Thor. The same thing happened with The Avengers: Earths Mightiest Hero's (2010) one of the best cartoons of all time. I remember as a 10 year old kid skipping the Thor Asgard episodes simply because I just didn't care for the very medieval fantasy look and feel but grew to enjoy it later in life, Loki is one of my favourite MCU characters. But looking back I think they did a really good job with this film. It's the first Cosmic/Fantasy Marvel film that ventures beyond Earth coming off three grounded films more so the Iron Man movies. So it was a tall order to introduce the mainstream audience to a guy in a red cape who swings his hammer around to fly. Cannot wait for the next film Captain America: The First Avenger. It's my personal favourite of this Phase and the whole Captain America trilogy of films are amazing so that's going to be exciting.

On your point about Thor being very otherworldly compared to the last three films, even including Hulk. Well Marvel took note of this when introducing the character in the Ultimate Universe. The Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610) was basically a new re-imagined and modernized continuity that began in 2000. it tired to be more grounded in our reality heavily reflecting the present day world and having real famous people show up like Larry King similar to the Iron Man films. in this new universe The Dome, located in Brussels, was trying to recreate the Super Soldier serum but went the bio-mechanical route and built a harness and power-belt that would grant the wearer abilities of flight, super-strength, and limited Invulnerability. A person called Thorlief Golmen (Thor) was the test subject of the Bio-Mech Suit but during the test he started to go on this long rant, believing he was actually the Norse God of Thunder. At the request of Thorlief they stored the battery that powers the suit in a hammer that looks very differant to the classic Thor hammer. It can also be picked up and used by anyone. This brings us to Ultimates #4 (June 2002) the first appearance of Thor in this new universe. Nick Fury visiting Norway looking for this guy called "Thor" with hopes of recruiting him to The Ultimates, Avengers of this universe. Thor showcases his ability to summon a lighting storm but people just think he's a madman who thinks he's the God of Thunder. Thor of the Ulimate Universe was based in science for this grounded continuity but over time it was revealed that he was actually the real Thor and everything surrounding Asgard and the Nine Realms did exist. Thor exiled himself after the fall of Asgard losing all his memories and being reborn as this Thorlief Golmen. Also side note Ultimates #4 also had a scene where all the Ulimates chatted about a planned Ultimates movie and brought up who they'd like to see play them in the movie. Brad Pitt was said to play Captain America with Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury, and Johnny Depp playing Tony Stark. Nick Fury of the Ultimate Universe was based on Samuel Jackson who then got to play the character in the MCU so I guess this came true lol

SO excited to see Shan "I Love Origin Stories" Riccio watch Captain America soon! The score, the crazy-good direction by Joe "The Rocketeer" Johnston...it's wonderful

I’m really enjoying rewatching the MCU movies with you. Some of them, this one included, I haven’t seen since opening weekend in the theater, so the revisit has been super fun! Also, I think I’m gaining a new level of appreciation for what they (Marvel/Disney) were going for with these early entries, even if they weren’t all entirely successful. I like that you’re going into your watch knowing little to nothing about the characters or their stories. I think that in doing so your expectations are right where they should be so that you’re more often pleasantly surprised than disappointed. Also, you’re putting the heavy lifting on the shoulders of the filmmakers (where it should be) in regard to making sure that you can follow, from film-to-film, the overarching story that is the MCU. It does get bogged down and a bit convoluted as time goes on, but with the number of films and television shows that they decided to start cranking out, I think that had to be expected. Making rich people even richer eventually overtook the desire to tell an engaging, coherent (but still fantastical), story. You mentioned Tropic Thunder would be coming up soon. Are you watching the theatrical version or the director’s cut? Just wanna be prepared! You are hands down my favorite film reaction content creator! You always give honest and insightful commentary, you’re a super fun hang to watch a movie with (even though a back and forth conversation would be nice!), and it’s easy to tell that you genuinely love film. I hope you keep doing what you do for a long time to come!

Hi Shanelle, Yes the source is unnamed as of yet. I just would like to plead for you to consider some of the shows for more story. Their is Wandavision. The Falcon and the winter soldier, Hawkeye gets one later, lots of family stuff. Maybe two eps at a time? No commercials on Disney+.

YES Okay thanks for the answers re: the post-credit scene. I wasn't totally understanding that. and yeah I'm weirdly surprised by these!?

I KNOW I MISSED STAN LEE I was so sad to find that out in trivia. Can't wait to see where I was looking in the edit.

okay thanks for some of that backstory! helpful! I'm so excited to get to the Taika ones! I was so shocked at the medieval aesthetic for Thor! So different from the Iron Man/Hulk movies.

At this point in her MCU journey all those you mentioned would give heavy spoilers. It’s not time to watch those yet.

I never meant now, watch the series as they were released later and that's the way you're watching the movies. Sometimes my brain works to fast to properly communicate.

I never said now. I would never spoil anything for someone that doesn't want spoilers.

Given Shan-Shan's love of Origin Stories, I'm SO excited to see her watch Captain America: The First Avenger soon! I LOVE the director Joe Johnston, and I think it's the 2nd best MCU Origin Story after Iron Man 1.

Really glad to see you enjoying the MCU so much! Definitely looking forward to watching along with more! You might consider watching Agents of Shield at some point; it's not necessary to follow along with the movies, but it is a really well written show that its story kinda tags along side-by-side with the movies for several seasons (also has the BEST portrayal of Ghost Rider yet on screen!). This Thor was probably my least liked of the MCU films, especially when they were all coming out (but it's still great, and fun!); Thor, and even Captain America, were kinda crapped on when they came out, but I think it was difficult at that time to live up to RDJ playing Tony Stark. Once Avengers hit though, everyone's tune changed when they saw how it all came together. The coolest thing at the time for me was how it was all sorta coming together somewhat spontaneously. No one had any idea Marvel or Superhero films would take off like they did. Each success kinda built on the next, and they were able to have a smart enough team to draw in the right comic book elements to tie all the storylines in together for the longhaul. Once Avengers hit and was the blockbuster it was, they knew they struck gold and pushed forward with the Infinity Gauntlet story (so gonna enjoy watching along for your ride through this series; much laughs and tears ahead!!! xD) Anyway, gonna watch the actual watch alongs for these soon! Only seen the reactions to your MCU stuffs so far, but done the full watch alongs with few others. I'm slow to catch up xD lol. Definitely consider watching the Netflix Marvel series as some of those characters are already making appearances in the more recent films to have come out.
