I am 99% certain that Kat Denning saw 'Mjolnir' in the script and didn't have a clue on how to pronounce it. So she just waited until Thor says it, and then just ad-lib'd in "Meow Meow" in the moment. And they kept it in the movie. I think it's awesome that you pronounce it that way!
@@reactswithjax It's not that hard, really. Think "myole-near". Like "mole near", but with a 'y' after the 'm'. That gets you pretty close, probably close enough. If you want to be even more accurate, the 'o' is really more like "eur", with one of those weird French vowel sounds, like in the word "milieu". And the "near" part is shortened slightly, more like "nir". "Mjolnir", with two dots over the 'o'. The 'j' is pronounced like a 'y'. As in "jotun" - frost giant. Or Johann. Or hallelujah.
In the early Thor comics, Donald Blake was a human who found Thor's hammer and became Thor. So, it's fitting that Thor is wearing Donald Blake's clothes.
@@HarborKat that was Erik Masterson, who was much later. In the very first Thor story, Dr. Donald Blake, who was a skinny guy with a limp, finds a cane-like stick and when he smacks it on the ground, he becomes Thor. Kind of a Billy Batson Shazam situation. After a while, that became confusing when it was apparent that Thor was clearly a real person and not just some identity that Blake becomes. So, they retconned Blake into actually being Thor. Turns out Odin made him a weak human with no memory of being Thor when he bannished him. After a while, Thor stopped changing back to Donald Blake and just stayed Thor all the time.
@@reactswithjax Thor was somewhat inspired by, and inspiring to, heroes with a fast-change gimmick, like SHAZAM. Don Blake would strike the ground with his walking stick, and instantly was replaced by Thor. Additionally if he let the hammer go for more than 60 seconds, he would turn back into Blake.
Mjölnir, or Mjolnir, would be pronounced ˈmjɔːlnɪər or Myaul-near. Eric's pronunciation is probably the most accurate as Stellan Skarsgård is Swedish. Darcy continues to pronounce it as Mew Mew or Meow Meow. I remember plenty of books as a child that retold the stories of the Æsir of Asgard.
@@Caseytify I can understand that, my understanding is the ö in Mjölnir is pronounced with an "au" sound as in "caught" or "maul" as opposed to an "o" sound, that's why I went with "myaul".

Your journey through the MCU has been one of the best reactions I’ve ever seen! You genuinely seem to be enjoying these movies and have picked up on every little detail and have a grasp on the broader story being told. I’m seriously impressed and I can’t wait for you to see more!
Thank you! This has been such a delightful journey so far. I never thought I'd love these movies as much as I do. I've become such a fan of the MCU. I can't wait to see what is going to unfold in phase 2! ❤️
Loki doesn’t care about the frost giants they were a tool to get him what he wanted even after he knew the truth about himself…he’s “of Asgard” through and through and cares about his family but will also do them harm to get what he wants lol.
I concur. Yes. (Big Nonsense: This one is made for reactions. Hahaha. Evil: Yes. True: I think YES. (That creepy part is trying to emulate what Jax would have said...))
No, she was correct when she said it was Mr. Blue. SHIELD never took Banner into custody, nor did they show up in the Hulk movie. It was a tie-in comic where SHIELD shows up after the fact and takes Mr. Blue (aka the Leader) into custody.
There was a scene cut from the movie where Loki and his mother were talking, and she tells him to take his fathers place as king while he slept. He was hesitant, but did as she asked. They cut it to make him appear as more of an antagonist.
Fantastic reaction as always! It's so fun that you're catching all the little crossovers and details and waiting for future payoffs. They're coming... Can't wait for you to see where this all goes and really looking forward to the Avengers which I think you're going to love.
I can't wait to see where this story is heading! It has been so fun seeing how all the movies play into one another. And I'm SO excited to share The Avengers reaction with you!
Honestly I find this movie to be criminally underrated in the MCU. It's so great from the world building and I love Thor's arc of being a selfish prince getting exiled to the middle of nowhere. And at the end he decides to make the personal sacrifice realizing that he could never see Jane again but knowing this is what he has to do. It's a shame the other Thor movies were never able to build upon this first one but I absolutely love this movie. It's not my favorite in the MCU but it's a little gem I wish got more love.
Yeah, but I think the mouth to mouth part was what she had in mind. Dukes of Hazzard, mystery woman passed out. Bo: We should give her mouth to mouth recreation. Luke: You mesn resuscitation. Bo: You're probably right, but my version sounds like more fun.
8:00 "I'm cold just looking at them..." lucky you have a 30 gallon drum of Disney tea to stay warm! 14:06 "Lamby would be worthy" Pretty sure Lamby has the heart of a serial killer - just look at those cold, dead eyes. We all saw the way Lamby was grinning when Loki was talking about murdering Odin!
Watching your reactions are refreshing. Nice to see someone who’s actually paying attention. And it’s really cute how with every new hero and every new couple you claim to have a new favorite. ☺️
Hi Jax, first time watching your video. I love your reaction, facial, and body expression and funny commentary. BTW, you are a beauty and have a beautiful smile 😍
As it was when this movie came out and for all of eternity, the mighty hammer shall be known as "Meow-Meow". Another great reaction, I cant wait to see your reaction as the whole MCU unfolds.
Your reactions are my favorite. You have a certain joy and charm that is wonderful. Experiencing these movies with you is an absolute pleasure. It is painful waiting for the next one to come, but worth it for sure. I look forward to continuing this journey with you!
Lol love watching the Marvel Universe with you .This is a rewatch for me because I have seen every movie .Lol it's fun to watch you figure our how it all ties together looking forward to your reactions of the Avengers!!
I'm so glad you are enjoying the reactions! It's been fun discovering how all these movies tie into one another. I'm so excited to share The Avengers with you!! ❤️
My thoughts on "worthy". It's not simply valor, or humility, or kindness, or purity of intent. If it was that simple, Cap would have been able to lift the hammer on his first try. Worthiness, in the context of Odin's geas, means all of the above plus the wisdom of a king. A king puts their people first, always. If it comes down to a contest between ego and the good of their people, the true king always sets aside their ego. Steve Rogers showed that wisdom when he pretended to be a Hydra agent in Endgame. He could have KO'd the entire lift full of men and taken the Stone, but he swallowed his pride, put his ego aside, and smiled at people who were his enemies, pretending to be the thing he hated most for the good of the world. That's why, next time he tried, Mjolnir found him worthy. Vision, the other 'worthy' Avenger, is a sentient able to set aside their ego for what they calculate to be the common good. That's why he was able to lift the hammer moments after being 'born'. I'm curious if, after experiencing love and life for awhile, and developing a stronger sense of self he would still be able to lift Mjolnir.
I never thought I'd watch Shakespeare in comic book clothing. Then i saw this. As a 35 + year comic book nerd, this is one character I thought would be very difficult to do well. They knocked it out of the park. Brilliant.
Thor’s hammer is pronounced (Me-Yoll-Near). The Red Skull said “the Tesseract was once the jewel of Odin’s treasure room.” Great reactions today. I think you’ll like the Avengers movie. Looking forward to that video.
If you recall Red Skull referenced the tesseract as a jewel of Odin's treasure room. The Tesseract is a source of great power not just the power of the Gods. Also when Red Skull held it he didn't really "die" . . . it appeared to generate something very similar to the Bifrost . . . . . Oh boy I can't wait for you to move through this saga! I absolutely love your authentic glee in experiencing these stories!
Oh! I was wondering about that since the Red Skull disappeared but didn't necessarily die...I can't wait to continue down this rabbit hole. The story keeps getting more interesting!
The blue boxy thing is "The Casket of Ancient Winters" in the comics. It was broken open in 1983 or so and plunged the entire world into a horrifically deep winter. Most of the heroes in the Marvel Universe had to cooperate to find the pieces and reassemble it, and to fight off the strengthened Frost Giants who took advantage of the situation. IIRC, it was Spider-Man and the Human Torch (from the Fantastic Four) who eventually got it reassembled and closed. It is very cold to the touch, which is probably part of the reason it briefly turned Loki blue in this film.
@@THEREALSCRAPPY Yes, in this film. But I don't recall him ever coming into contact with it in print continuity. All three of the Thor films borrow heavily from the Walt Simonsen writing/art era of about 40 years ago, but the MCU scriptwriters throw enough change-ups to keep even us olden-time fanbois guessing. In the comics, it was accidentally broken open when the Dark Elf king Malekith (cf: Thor, The Dark World) was fooling around with it. The Asgardians didn't ever have it in their possession. IIRC.
Watching you watch these MCU movies takes me back to when we all watched them first. I also have to thank you for saying the correct (IMO) pronouncing of Thor's hammer. For over 30 years, this is how I pronounced its name in my head when I read it from the comics!!❤❤❤😂😂
The argument "Vain, Cruel Boy" between Thors and Odin was unscripted by Sir Anthony...Chris just went with it. Thor is around 5000 years old at this point.
Two possibly interesting facts: 1. In historical Norse mythology. Loki is actually Odin's "blood brother" - they ritually cut themselves and mingle their blood, so they are considered related, even though they aren't really. Sif is actually Thor's wife, and has golden hair, not black - it's literally made of gold. Heimdall does not have the power to see everything, but Odin does, when he sits on his "All-Seeing Throne". The "Warriors Three" those three sidekicks of Thor's, were made up for the comic book, and don't actually exist in historical mythology. They are loosely based on characters from Shakespeare's Henry V. Loki, like many of the frost giants ("jotuns"), has powers of illusion. There are many other Norse gods that are included in the Thor comic books, but not in the movies (at least so far). 2. The tesseract was originally called the "cosmic cube" in the comic books, but "tesseract" is a much cooler name. And it actually means something - it's not just a made-up word. A tesseract is the four-dimensional analog of a cube. Going up in dimensions: a square is two-dimensional, a cube is three-dimensional, and a tesseract is four-dimensional. Five and higher dimensional cubes don't have their own special names, and are just called hypercubes. A tesseract can be called a "four-dimensional hypercube", or it can be shortened to "four-cube".
Wow! That's awesome backstory! Thank you for sharing that. The Shakespearian influence really shined through in the way the Asgardians spoke. That's so cool that the Tesseract actually means something. I can't wait to see what it actually is!
Tønsberg, Norway featured in several movies in the MCU. It was where Odin and the Asgard warriors defeated the Frost Giants. It was where Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. Red Skull, found the Tesseract at the beginning of Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s where Odin goes to join Frigga in Valhalla in Thor: Ragnarök. It’s where New Asgard exists in Avengers: Endgame.
Thor is my mom’s fave Avenger. I showed her this reaction video and she’s obsessed with Lamby. Where did you get it? She recently had a stroke and I’m trying to find stuff to help her cheer up. Loki is one of the best written characters in the MCU. He’s more complex than Obidah from Iron Man. To see the MCU movies for the first time again would be great.
Hi! I'm so sorry that your mom had a stroke. What a scary thing to go through. How wonderful that she loves Lamby. I got him in Ireland a while back. But, I've seen similar looking lamb stuffed animals online. ❤️
You’re not wrong the food in these movies looks so good. 🥘 🍱 🍲 🥧 🧁 🍰 🍺 🍻 🍷 🍗 🌮 🍕 A lot of people didn’t like this movie but I loved it. In the comics, Tony makes a suit of armor using the Destroyer armor. It was cool.
A lot of people get surprised when they see that Loki kills his biological father. It actually makes a lot of sense when you consider a few things. First, you have to understand that Loki was written as a textbook sociopath. The writers did a really good job of writing him that way, it's very believable. Sociopaths are extremely insecure but they project that through apparent strength that usually comes through as bullying or domination. Now, add to that that Loki grew up being taught to have a racism against the Frost Giants. He views them as being a much lesser race than the Asgardians because that's how he was raised. Add to both of those things that he could always tell the man that he called Dad always seemed to favor his brother and he never understood the extent of why. He probably thought that he worked twice as hard as Thor and was twice as qualified to be king. Once he found out that he was actually a Frost Giant adopted as a baby, all of these factors together caused him to loathe himself and he wanted to prove not only to Odin but even more so to himself that he was worthy of being Asguardian and King. He had no new love or loyalty to his biological father, he just became desperate to prove that he was better.
This was the movie you were supposed to see BEFORE Captain America! Also I wish Kat Dennings aka Darcy would come onto SNL! I know she would make a real funny addition to it for sure.
Fun fact: Prior to Thor, Chris Hemsworth appeared at the beginning of Star Trek(2009) as George Kirk, father of Captain James T. Kirk(Chris Pine). Fun fact#2:Kat Dennings and Brie Larson played Bob Saget's daughters in the short lived sitcom Raising Dad on The WB in the early 2000's.
I hope she does the pre-Disney+ shows as well (Agent Carter, Agents of SHIELD, Helstrom, Cloak & Dagger, Inhumans, Runaways, Defenders, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Punisher).
If you watch the end credits during the zooming through space, you can actually see the Yggdrasil tree. The camera zooms out then zooms in and ascend it from the roots to the highest branches.
7:05 Actually, some do (not in the way you might assume). The samurai, for example, will embrace the inevitability of death as a way to banish any fear-- because _Fear is actually Hope placed in conflict with the danger of the situation._ A man who is truly without fear is a man who has given up their hope-- which is something to be pitied rather than aspired.
Marvel did a 4 minute short that takes place immediately after Thor's hammer landing on earth. It is called "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer". I highly recommend you watch it (before "Avengers", if that's still possible). It will give you a little bit on the type of person Agent Coulson is. Oh, and I like when you pronounce it "meow-meow". It's cute.
"Destroy everything? Even Disneyland?" Haha, I laughed at that. Cause yeah, that would be horrible. Fellow Magic Key holder here :) I love that place!!
One thing about marvel that you’ve picked up on is through your questions. Specifically the gods and which do they include. It leaves you wondering and interesting to learn more. What do the power of the gods include? We saw what red skull used it for, but what other powers does it have also draws interest to look forward to watching. Great observations and I look forward to you remembering the questions for later movies. No spoilers (hopefully), just excited.
Ohhh don’t forget the RedSkull also referred to the Tesseract as “the jewel of Orin’s Treasure room.” We saw the treasure room in this movie. So the question is “how did it get to earth?” Don’t be harsh on yourself. I always recommend watching Captain America 1 first when watching the movies. Then in release order the first time. As it helps you understand how Tony is the way he is, why the Tesseract in the end credit scene is so important, and you know how it got in the hands of Shield. Sorry. I think I commented thst on another video. Haha.
15:49 Donald was Thor’s alter ego in the comics and there’s a tv movie (“Incredible Hulk Returns” with Bill Bixby) where Donald Blake finds Thor’s hammer and can summon Thor to earth with it. In this movie Thor can’t enter Valhalla until he shows he’s worthy to be there. 17:32 well it fell from the sky so it could be a secret satellite 18:06 something like myol-neer (the “y” is an “e” sound instead of “I”). 19:35 yes he was talking about Bruce.
Just discovered your channel and I've just been loving all of your reactions! Making me want to do a rewatch of the MCU! If you want more Kenneth Brannagh, I highly reccommend his adaptations of Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile! He stars in and directs both of those and he does a great job with them!
7:21 "Thor is reminding me a little bit of Tony Stark. At the top of his game. Thinks a little too highly of himself. Maybe he has good reason to think highly of himself, but this'll be a fun journey watching him evolve." Oh honey. Just wait until you get to Doctor Strange. Also just to answer a quick question you had, Thor and Loki are 1,500 years old. Odin is 5,000 years old. Lastly, I just wanna say that I am absolutely ecstatic about how much you're paying close attention to the big picture and trying to link everything together from previous movies. All the talking points you mentioned after the post-credits scene about the origins of the Tesseract to Red Skull trying to use it to harness the power of the gods to Howard Stark eventually finding it and being a founding member of SHIELD are the exact type of things you wanna keep in mind while going down this MCU journey. And remember that you're only just starting! There's still over ten more years of the MCU that you haven't even seen yet! It's a hell of a fun ride!
28:31 -- RE: "His Little Smile"; A: No Joke, but I think this is one of the best depictions of "drinking buddies" since Wolfgang Petersen's "Das Boot". Drunk Doctor's Little Smile sells the moment.
Awesome reaction! Still one of the strongest Marvel Movies to this day. Especially from the Thor franchise its been a real hit and miss afterwards. My personal favorite is still the third Ragnarok.
After seeing your great Disney mug, I am only just now noticing all of the wonderful Disney items in your surroundings. The "Home" pillow, and your subtly Belle-inspired getup. Now I'm even more of a fan.
44:40 -- RE: Saying the Name of the Hammer; Fun Fact! English shares a heck of a lot of common ancestry with languages other than Latin or Gaelic, including Norse and Germanic ones. That's why we have at least half of the days of our week referencing Norse gods: Thorsday, Frigsday, and Wednesday AKA Odin's Day.The O sound in Odin has become identified with the letter W to make clear how to pronounce it. O cognate with Owe. So, here's some basic tips for knowing what to do when you read letters that have inflections like an umlaut (double dot) on them. The ö sound means more like look than Loki. The J is half silent, a Y sound as with Fjord, or Bjorn. So It's Mjool-nir, and the Nir part doesn't require you show your teeth when you make the I sound.
During the hammer scene, besides Stan Lee, there was J. Michael Stryzinski also. He wrote for Thor, Spider-man, Doctor Strange, and a pre-Captain America story. In addition, he was one of the writers for this movie, Thor. He is also the creator and series mastermind of Babylon 5.
This movie was amazing and interesting to watch and people thought that film was going to fail but the story was good and entertaining to see. Thanks for your reaction 😊
There's more than just nine realms. The nine realms Thor speaks of are interconnected realms that he can access through the bifrost bridge. The tree under the bifrost bridge called Yggdrasil is what connects the realms with each other. There's a much larger universe beyond the nine realms which you'll discover in the guardians of the galaxy movies and captain marvel.
Since you're so easily distracted by food (the pie did look tasty) and also a fan of romantic fantasy like "Once Upon a Time" I *highly* recommend checking out the brilliant but short-lived (only two seasons) series "Pushing Daises". It's hilarious- I think you'll get a real kick out of that show! FYI it's a spin-off of the series "Dead Like Me", which is more of a dark comedy. Both are excellent, so I suggest adding them to your list of things to react to- or your polls where Patreon peeps can vote for things to watch ;)
@@grumpy_older_man the spinoff status is unofficial, but I read PD was originally pitched as an episode of DLM... There was going to be an episode where the Reapers couldn't do their jobs because Ned had shown up and done his thing.
I never knew those two shows were connected! I've actually seen both and they were so good! There's a restaurant near where I live called The Pie Hole, just like Ned's in PD, and it's delicious.
Oh I am DESPERATE to watch the full length Avengers movie with your reaction, rather than just an edit. I hope you're saving the full video files in case you change your mind about starting a Patreon later on!
I'm so glad you like the reactions enough to want to watch full length versions of them! I don't know if or when I'll create a Patreon, but I have just started saving my full length reactions ❤
Hi Jax! Another great reaction/review. I love to see your wheels turning as you uncover more and more about the Marvel saga! I look forward to watching the rest of the saga with you. Feel free to wear that cap and outfit, It looks great on you! PS. I thought the answer to the lamb question was, "Lambchop" !!! hahaha Thanks again.
Another lovely video! It's great to see that you're brave enough to be making predictions -- and a joy to see when you're proven right. Congratulations on figuring out that the Tesseract was in Fury's case. Even having watched "Captain America" first, that wasn't necessarily an easy guess to make. And you're right that outer space and other worlds are going to play a BIG part in the MCU moving forward. But the Nine Realms aren't the totality of space; they don't even include all inhabited worlds. Those are just the planets that are under Odin's protectorate. More will be revealed before long! Since others have explained about Mjolnir, I'll offer a few notes about the Bifrost. Ancient Norse people seemed to believe that the rainbow was a bridge between Midgard (Earth) and Asgard (the gods' realm). That's why it's so beautifully coloured in the movie -- as Thor said, it's the Rainbow Bridge. Also, Jane identifies it with an Einstein-Rosen bridge, which is a kind of wormhole -- theoretically a gateway allowing swift travel between distant points in space.
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the reaction! I was SO excited when I predicted the Tesseract was in Fury's case. I take it as a sign that I am finally starting to understand the MCU. That makes so much sense that the 9 realms are what Thor knows of, but that there is more to it than that. I can't wait to see more of this universe. I love that the Rainbow Bridge has roots in Norse mythology! Thanks for sharing that! ❤️
Thor: Let's move. Jax: As opposed to what, standing here forever? You have some skill with the snark, milady. A couple of trivia tidbits: the first person to try to lift the Hammer after it landed in New Mexico was J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote the screenplay as well as developed a popular sci fi show in the '90s called Babylon 5. And when Jeremy Renner was in his perch, he had his thumb up behind his ear while he pulled the bowstring; he was feeling for his pulse. Archers really do that, as their heartbeat can throw off their aim if they don't pay attention to it.
6:28 "That bridge is rainbow! That's so cool!" Spot-on! You know what it's called? The Rainbow Bridge! 🤣
🤣🤣
"Okay, so he's tricking everyone." With Loki, that's generally the best assumption! 🤣
but he might have been tricking you into believing this....
She's back with the most beautiful smile ever ❤️😍
Thank you! ❤️🥰

@@zamhobby9662 Dude, that would be a spoiler.

I recall in an interview once where they said that the scene with him smashing the coffee cup on the ground was unplanned and he did it on the spur of a moment. So all of their reactions were real, because he didn't tell anybody he was going to do it.
That's awesome!
I am 99% certain that Kat Denning saw 'Mjolnir' in the script and didn't have a clue on how to pronounce it. So she just waited until Thor says it, and then just ad-lib'd in "Meow Meow" in the moment. And they kept it in the movie. I think it's awesome that you pronounce it that way!
Getting a T with a picture of 'Mjolnir' and "Meow-Meow" in quotes.
I loved that she didn't pronounce it right. That's so congruent with her character!
@@reactswithjax It's not that hard, really. Think "myole-near". Like "mole near", but with a 'y' after the 'm'. That gets you pretty close, probably close enough. If you want to be even more accurate, the 'o' is really more like "eur", with one of those weird French vowel sounds, like in the word "milieu". And the "near" part is shortened slightly, more like "nir". "Mjolnir", with two dots over the 'o'. The 'j' is pronounced like a 'y'. As in "jotun" - frost giant. Or Johann. Or hallelujah.
well, americans have hard time with Å Ä Ö, so no wonder they cant say Mjölner
@@PhilBagels i think its sounds better if u just say it myo-near
In the early Thor comics, Donald Blake was a human who found Thor's hammer and became Thor. So, it's fitting that Thor is wearing Donald Blake's clothes.
Didn’t he go by “Thunderstrike” ?
@@HarborKat that was Erik Masterson, who was much later.
In the very first Thor story, Dr. Donald Blake, who was a skinny guy with a limp, finds a cane-like stick and when he smacks it on the ground, he becomes Thor. Kind of a Billy Batson Shazam situation. After a while, that became confusing when it was apparent that Thor was clearly a real person and not just some identity that Blake becomes. So, they retconned Blake into actually being Thor. Turns out Odin made him a weak human with no memory of being Thor when he bannished him. After a while, Thor stopped changing back to Donald Blake and just stayed Thor all the time.
I hope Thor got Donald's consent before wearing his clothes. Otherwise, awkward! 😂
That's such a great backstory! I love that they incorporated a Donald Blake reference in this movie.
@@reactswithjax Thor was somewhat inspired by, and inspiring to, heroes with a fast-change gimmick, like SHAZAM. Don Blake would strike the ground with his walking stick, and instantly was replaced by Thor. Additionally if he let the hammer go for more than 60 seconds, he would turn back into Blake.
My FAVORITE running gag throughout the MCU is hearing Kat Dennings call it "Mew Mew" lmao
THANK YOU!!! "That's hurtful." Is one of my fav "Son of Coul" lines.
How about “Excuse me... Donald... I don’t think you’ve been completely honest with me”? 😂
@@andreshernandez1180 "...taken from Jane."
"Stolen."
"Borrowed."
Phil has some of the best lines of dialogue! He's SO funny.
Mjölnir, or Mjolnir, would be pronounced ˈmjɔːlnɪər or Myaul-near. Eric's pronunciation is probably the most accurate as Stellan Skarsgård is Swedish. Darcy continues to pronounce it as Mew Mew or Meow Meow. I remember plenty of books as a child that retold the stories of the Æsir of Asgard.
I would spell it myole-neer.
@@Caseytify I can understand that, my understanding is the ö in Mjölnir is pronounced with an "au" sound as in "caught" or "maul" as opposed to an "o" sound, that's why I went with "myaul".
Beware the mighty hammer Meow Meow!!!!
The first tip to pronouncing Mjölnir is to remember this word is Scandinavian. When a J follows a consonant, you pronounce it as a Y. Think of the Icelandic singer Bjork.
Thank you, son of Iver.
Waiting a month for more Marvel reactions from you is a killer. Keep em coming!
I am sorry! Haha! I'm glad you are enjoying the reactions. Got some good ones coming up ❤️
@@reactswithjax Let’s make it a weekly event 👍🏻
Your journey through the MCU has been one of the best reactions I’ve ever seen! You genuinely seem to be enjoying these movies and have picked up on every little detail and have a grasp on the broader story being told. I’m seriously impressed and I can’t wait for you to see more!
Thank you! This has been such a delightful journey so far. I never thought I'd love these movies as much as I do. I've become such a fan of the MCU. I can't wait to see what is going to unfold in phase 2! ❤️
Agreed!
Loki doesn’t care about the frost giants they were a tool to get him what he wanted even after he knew the truth about himself…he’s “of Asgard” through and through and cares about his family but will also do them harm to get what he wants lol.
I enjoy your reactions to these films, and love the musicality of your speaking voice. Just a compliment, not a come-on. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like my reactions ❤️
I concur. Yes. (Big Nonsense: This one is made for reactions. Hahaha. Evil: Yes. True: I think YES. (That creepy part is trying to emulate what Jax would have said...))
I love Coulson puts some snark Tony Stark's way, and that Thor observes Nordic tradition calling him "son of Coul"
Oh my gosh, I just got that reference! Haha! 😂 Son of Coul! How did I miss that?!
Yes, the scientist (expert in gamma radiation) mentioned by Dr Selvig was indeed a reference to Bruce Banner. Nice catch, Jax!
Woohoo!!!! It is SO fun hearing their references to other movies!
No, she was correct when she said it was Mr. Blue. SHIELD never took Banner into custody, nor did they show up in the Hulk movie. It was a tie-in comic where SHIELD shows up after the fact and takes Mr. Blue (aka the Leader) into custody.
heimdall is literally one of the best characters in the MCU, but he is very underused in the MCU but is such a great character.
There was a scene cut from the movie where Loki and his mother were talking, and she tells him to take his fathers place as king while he slept.
He was hesitant, but did as she asked.
They cut it to make him appear as more of an antagonist.
Interesting!!
I love Coulson and how he ties Phase 1 together!
Fantastic reaction as always! It's so fun that you're catching all the little crossovers and details and waiting for future payoffs. They're coming... Can't wait for you to see where this all goes and really looking forward to the Avengers which I think you're going to love.
I can't wait to see where this story is heading! It has been so fun seeing how all the movies play into one another. And I'm SO excited to share The Avengers reaction with you!
Honestly I find this movie to be criminally underrated in the MCU. It's so great from the world building and I love Thor's arc of being a selfish prince getting exiled to the middle of nowhere. And at the end he decides to make the personal sacrifice realizing that he could never see Jane again but knowing this is what he has to do. It's a shame the other Thor movies were never able to build upon this first one but I absolutely love this movie. It's not my favorite in the MCU but it's a little gem I wish got more love.
I agree. Very underrated
The most powerful scenes in the movie have Odin and Loki in them.
1) Banishment
2) Loki learning he is frost giant
3) The bridge
Loki specifically.
@@radicalreactions1633 No I said Odin and Loki.
One major idea that the MCU never really addressed is the effect on the human race with the knowledge that they are not alone in the universe.
I Definetly appreciated the doctor Mike “chest compressions” reference
Haha! I love his channel!
Yeah, but I think the mouth to mouth part was what she had in mind.
Dukes of Hazzard, mystery woman passed out. Bo: We should give her mouth to mouth recreation. Luke: You mesn resuscitation. Bo: You're probably right, but my version sounds like more fun.
8:00 "I'm cold just looking at them..." lucky you have a 30 gallon drum of Disney tea to stay warm!
14:06 "Lamby would be worthy" Pretty sure Lamby has the heart of a serial killer - just look at those cold, dead eyes. We all saw the way Lamby was grinning when Loki was talking about murdering Odin!
Haha! I'm dying 😂 It really is a massive cup of tea! And Lamby is a saint! lol
Watching your reactions are refreshing. Nice to see someone who’s actually paying attention. And it’s really cute how with every new hero and every new couple you claim to have a new favorite. ☺️
Haha! My favorite couple changes with every movie 😂 because every movie is so good!!!
@@reactswithjax Yes it is, and you haven’t even gotten to the “good ones” yet!😊
Hi Jax, first time watching your video. I love your reaction, facial, and body expression and funny commentary. BTW, you are a beauty and have a beautiful smile 😍
Thank you so much! ❤️
As it was when this movie came out and for all of eternity, the mighty hammer shall be known as "Meow-Meow". Another great reaction, I cant wait to see your reaction as the whole MCU unfolds.
Hahaha! That works for me! I can't wait to see where this story is going either.
Your reactions are my favorite. You have a certain joy and charm that is wonderful. Experiencing these movies with you is an absolute pleasure. It is painful waiting for the next one to come, but worth it for sure. I look forward to continuing this journey with you!
Thank you so much! That's so kind of you to say! I can't wait to share The Avengers with you ❤️🎉 Marvel has been one wild ride so far!
I loved the way you compared Thor's growth to Steve's growth. Such a cool analysis.
Lol love watching the Marvel Universe with you .This is a rewatch for me because I have seen every movie .Lol it's fun to watch you figure our how it all ties together looking forward to your reactions of the Avengers!!
I'm so glad you are enjoying the reactions! It's been fun discovering how all these movies tie into one another. I'm so excited to share The Avengers with you!! ❤️
31:26 PRINCE CHARMING! I was the same way...i loved once upon a time series!❤❤❤
My thoughts on "worthy". It's not simply valor, or humility, or kindness, or purity of intent. If it was that simple, Cap would have been able to lift the hammer on his first try. Worthiness, in the context of Odin's geas, means all of the above plus the wisdom of a king. A king puts their people first, always. If it comes down to a contest between ego and the good of their people, the true king always sets aside their ego.
Steve Rogers showed that wisdom when he pretended to be a Hydra agent in Endgame. He could have KO'd the entire lift full of men and taken the Stone, but he swallowed his pride, put his ego aside, and smiled at people who were his enemies, pretending to be the thing he hated most for the good of the world. That's why, next time he tried, Mjolnir found him worthy.
Vision, the other 'worthy' Avenger, is a sentient able to set aside their ego for what they calculate to be the common good. That's why he was able to lift the hammer moments after being 'born'. I'm curious if, after experiencing love and life for awhile, and developing a stronger sense of self he would still be able to lift Mjolnir.
You hammered this reaction 🔨
Thank you! 😂
I never thought I'd watch Shakespeare in comic book clothing. Then i saw this. As a 35 + year comic book nerd, this is one character I thought would be very difficult to do well. They knocked it out of the park. Brilliant.
This movie was phenomenal. It was funny hearing Thor speak so eloquently. And, like you said, they made it work!
Get a Shakespearian director like Kenneth Brannagh to do it.
Thor’s hammer is pronounced (Me-Yoll-Near).
The Red Skull said “the Tesseract was once the jewel of Odin’s treasure room.”
Great reactions today. I think you’ll like the Avengers movie. Looking forward to that video.
I missed that the Red Skull said that! Thank you!
Ive seen all your vids but this is by far the best simply for the Michael scott edit
Haha! Michael Scott is the best!
If you recall Red Skull referenced the tesseract as a jewel of Odin's treasure room. The Tesseract is a source of great power not just the power of the Gods. Also when Red Skull held it he didn't really "die" . . . it appeared to generate something very similar to the Bifrost . . . . . Oh boy I can't wait for you to move through this saga! I absolutely love your authentic glee in experiencing these stories!
Oh! I was wondering about that since the Red Skull disappeared but didn't necessarily die...I can't wait to continue down this rabbit hole. The story keeps getting more interesting!
The blue boxy thing is "The Casket of Ancient Winters" in the comics. It was broken open in 1983 or so and plunged the entire world into a horrifically deep winter. Most of the heroes in the Marvel Universe had to cooperate to find the pieces and reassemble it, and to fight off the strengthened Frost Giants who took advantage of the situation.
IIRC, it was Spider-Man and the Human Torch (from the Fantastic Four) who eventually got it reassembled and closed. It is very cold to the touch, which is probably part of the reason it briefly turned Loki blue in this film.
Didn't Loki turn blue briefly because of him being unaffected by the Frost Giants' cold touch, due to his heritage?
@@THEREALSCRAPPY Yes, in this film. But I don't recall him ever coming into contact with it in print continuity. All three of the Thor films borrow heavily from the Walt Simonsen writing/art era of about 40 years ago, but the MCU scriptwriters throw enough change-ups to keep even us olden-time fanbois guessing.
In the comics, it was accidentally broken open when the Dark Elf king Malekith (cf: Thor, The Dark World) was fooling around with it. The Asgardians didn't ever have it in their possession. IIRC.
Hi from Sheffield YorkshireEngland when i first started watching your content i saw you and not just looks but your smile and sence of humour
Watching you watch these MCU movies takes me back to when we all watched them first. I also have to thank you for saying the correct (IMO) pronouncing of Thor's hammer. For over 30 years, this is how I pronounced its name in my head when I read it from the comics!!❤❤❤😂😂
Jamie Alexander as Lady Sif was an awesome performance! She needs her own show! In the Thor comics, Lady Sif is a supreme badass warrior!
The argument "Vain, Cruel Boy" between Thors and Odin was unscripted by Sir Anthony...Chris just went with it. Thor is around 5000 years old at this point.
That scene was incredible! It's amazing that it was unscripted ❤️
thor was my favorite marvel comic in my youth. love your edits,
Interviewer:- What is the name of Thor's Hammer??
Paul Rudd :- Jonathan
Two possibly interesting facts:
1. In historical Norse mythology. Loki is actually Odin's "blood brother" - they ritually cut themselves and mingle their blood, so they are considered related, even though they aren't really. Sif is actually Thor's wife, and has golden hair, not black - it's literally made of gold. Heimdall does not have the power to see everything, but Odin does, when he sits on his "All-Seeing Throne". The "Warriors Three" those three sidekicks of Thor's, were made up for the comic book, and don't actually exist in historical mythology. They are loosely based on characters from Shakespeare's Henry V. Loki, like many of the frost giants ("jotuns"), has powers of illusion. There are many other Norse gods that are included in the Thor comic books, but not in the movies (at least so far).
2. The tesseract was originally called the "cosmic cube" in the comic books, but "tesseract" is a much cooler name. And it actually means something - it's not just a made-up word. A tesseract is the four-dimensional analog of a cube. Going up in dimensions: a square is two-dimensional, a cube is three-dimensional, and a tesseract is four-dimensional. Five and higher dimensional cubes don't have their own special names, and are just called hypercubes. A tesseract can be called a "four-dimensional hypercube", or it can be shortened to "four-cube".
Wow! That's awesome backstory! Thank you for sharing that. The Shakespearian influence really shined through in the way the Asgardians spoke. That's so cool that the Tesseract actually means something. I can't wait to see what it actually is!
@@reactswithjax the director Kenneth Branagh directed and acted in multiple Shakespearean Plays adapted for film.
Tønsberg, Norway featured in several movies in the MCU. It was where Odin and the Asgard warriors defeated the Frost Giants. It was where Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. Red Skull, found the Tesseract at the beginning of Captain America: The First Avenger. It’s where Odin goes to join Frigga in Valhalla in Thor: Ragnarök. It’s where New Asgard exists in Avengers: Endgame.
Thor is my mom’s fave Avenger. I showed her this reaction video and she’s obsessed with Lamby. Where did you get it? She recently had a stroke and I’m trying to find stuff to help her cheer up.
Loki is one of the best written characters in the MCU. He’s more complex than Obidah from Iron Man.
To see the MCU movies for the first time again would be great.
Hi! I'm so sorry that your mom had a stroke. What a scary thing to go through. How wonderful that she loves Lamby. I got him in Ireland a while back. But, I've seen similar looking lamb stuffed animals online. ❤️
This movie depicts Perfectly what each soul on Earth is going through and why we are here.
15:14 JAJAJAJA You literally jumped. I love it
You’re not wrong the food in these movies looks so good. 🥘 🍱 🍲 🥧 🧁 🍰 🍺 🍻 🍷 🍗 🌮 🍕
A lot of people didn’t like this movie but I loved it.
In the comics, Tony makes a suit of armor using the Destroyer armor. It was cool.
A lot of people get surprised when they see that Loki kills his biological father. It actually makes a lot of sense when you consider a few things. First, you have to understand that Loki was written as a textbook sociopath. The writers did a really good job of writing him that way, it's very believable. Sociopaths are extremely insecure but they project that through apparent strength that usually comes through as bullying or domination. Now, add to that that Loki grew up being taught to have a racism against the Frost Giants. He views them as being a much lesser race than the Asgardians because that's how he was raised. Add to both of those things that he could always tell the man that he called Dad always seemed to favor his brother and he never understood the extent of why. He probably thought that he worked twice as hard as Thor and was twice as qualified to be king. Once he found out that he was actually a Frost Giant adopted as a baby, all of these factors together caused him to loathe himself and he wanted to prove not only to Odin but even more so to himself that he was worthy of being Asguardian and King. He had no new love or loyalty to his biological father, he just became desperate to prove that he was better.
This was the movie you were supposed to see BEFORE Captain America! Also I wish Kat Dennings aka Darcy would come onto SNL! I know she would make a real funny addition to it for sure.
Fun fact: Prior to Thor, Chris Hemsworth appeared at the beginning of Star Trek(2009) as George Kirk, father of Captain James T. Kirk(Chris Pine). Fun fact#2:Kat Dennings and Brie Larson played Bob Saget's daughters in the short lived sitcom Raising Dad on The WB in the early 2000's.
9:08 I just realized that that frost giant blocked mjolnir successfully like wtf he worthy or something? lol
@7:45 Thor: “Let’s move.”
Jax: “As opposed to what? Standing there forever?” 🤣
Jax has some of the funniest comments.
Awesome reaction, as always you have the funniest references. Can't wait for the next one! You're super beautiful BTW haha
Thank you! I'm so glad you like my reactions❤️ And that I'm not the only one who's laughing at my jokes!
@33:14 “Killer robot from space destroyed business” has a better B-movie-type ring to it.
there is a theory that Loki is actually Odin's son but with Laufee's wife and that was the true reason for the war and why Odin took and raised Loki.
I hope she does the pre-Disney+ shows as well (Agent Carter, Agents of SHIELD, Helstrom, Cloak & Dagger, Inhumans, Runaways, Defenders, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Punisher).
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES EVER ❤️💜 LOVE UR REACTION Beautiful J
This movie was pretty epic! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Yep u are a awesome spirit of a Woman keep it up react to Thor 2 love 😘
The amount of “That’s what she said…” moments in this reaction is impressive… 😏
Hahahaha! Why thank you. 😂
If you watch the end credits during the zooming through space, you can actually see the Yggdrasil tree. The camera zooms out then zooms in and ascend it from the roots to the highest branches.
7:05 Actually, some do (not in the way you might assume). The samurai, for example, will embrace the inevitability of death as a way to banish any fear-- because _Fear is actually Hope placed in conflict with the danger of the situation._
A man who is truly without fear is a man who has given up their hope-- which is something to be pitied rather than aspired.
Marvel did a 4 minute short that takes place immediately after Thor's hammer landing on earth. It is called "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Thor's Hammer". I highly recommend you watch it (before "Avengers", if that's still possible). It will give you a little bit on the type of person Agent Coulson is.
Oh, and I like when you pronounce it "meow-meow". It's cute.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll check that out! ❤️
I just watched it! It's great!
Its mule-near. Love your reactions Jax.
Thank you! ❤️❤️
welcome!
It was the eyebrow raise when he kissed Jane’s hand for me lol you were 💯 invested 😂😂😂 no judgement here Chris Hemsworth is gorgeous ✨
"Destroy everything? Even Disneyland?" Haha, I laughed at that. Cause yeah, that would be horrible. Fellow Magic Key holder here :) I love that place!!
One thing about marvel that you’ve picked up on is through your questions. Specifically the gods and which do they include. It leaves you wondering and interesting to learn more. What do the power of the gods include? We saw what red skull used it for, but what other powers does it have also draws interest to look forward to watching. Great observations and I look forward to you remembering the questions for later movies. No spoilers (hopefully), just excited.
Ohhh don’t forget the RedSkull also referred to the Tesseract as “the jewel of Orin’s Treasure room.”
We saw the treasure room in this movie. So the question is “how did it get to earth?”
Don’t be harsh on yourself. I always recommend watching Captain America 1 first when watching the movies. Then in release order the first time. As it helps you understand how Tony is the way he is, why the Tesseract in the end credit scene is so important, and you know how it got in the hands of Shield.
Sorry. I think I commented thst on another video. Haha.
15:49 Donald was Thor’s alter ego in the comics and there’s a tv movie (“Incredible Hulk Returns” with Bill Bixby) where Donald Blake finds Thor’s hammer and can summon Thor to earth with it. In this movie Thor can’t enter Valhalla until he shows he’s worthy to be there. 17:32 well it fell from the sky so it could be a secret satellite 18:06 something like myol-neer (the “y” is an “e” sound instead of “I”). 19:35 yes he was talking about Bruce.
Your best reaction yet. Can't wait to see your take on Avengers.
THANK YOU! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤
Just discovered your channel and I've just been loving all of your reactions! Making me want to do a rewatch of the MCU!
If you want more Kenneth Brannagh, I highly reccommend his adaptations of Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile! He stars in and directs both of those and he does a great job with them!
7:21 "Thor is reminding me a little bit of Tony Stark. At the top of his game. Thinks a little too highly of himself. Maybe he has good reason to think highly of himself, but this'll be a fun journey watching him evolve."
Oh honey. Just wait until you get to Doctor Strange.
Also just to answer a quick question you had, Thor and Loki are 1,500 years old. Odin is 5,000 years old.
Lastly, I just wanna say that I am absolutely ecstatic about how much you're paying close attention to the big picture and trying to link everything together from previous movies. All the talking points you mentioned after the post-credits scene about the origins of the Tesseract to Red Skull trying to use it to harness the power of the gods to Howard Stark eventually finding it and being a founding member of SHIELD are the exact type of things you wanna keep in mind while going down this MCU journey. And remember that you're only just starting! There's still over ten more years of the MCU that you haven't even seen yet! It's a hell of a fun ride!
28:31 -- RE: "His Little Smile"; A: No Joke, but I think this is one of the best depictions of "drinking buddies" since Wolfgang Petersen's "Das Boot". Drunk Doctor's Little Smile sells the moment.
Awesome reaction! Still one of the strongest Marvel Movies to this day. Especially from the Thor franchise its been a real hit and miss afterwards. My personal favorite is still the third Ragnarok.
Thank you! I haven't seen any of the other Thor movies, but since I loved this one, I'm excited to see where they take his story line.
Loving the cap look Jax
Another fun reaction. Thank you for the entertainment. Keep it coming 🙂
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I've got some fun reactions coming up ❤️
@@reactswithjax I don't doubt that for a second. Can't wait to see them
oh hi we've missed your marvel reactions glad they are back
I'm so glad you enjoy them! ❤️🎉
Earl Grey is my favorite black tea blend. The French spice makes it sweet without sweetener.
Earl Grey is the best!! ❤️
After seeing your great Disney mug, I am only just now noticing all of the wonderful Disney items in your surroundings. The "Home" pillow, and your subtly Belle-inspired getup. Now I'm even more of a fan.
You're the first person to notice my Home pillow! ❤️ And my Belle hat!
@@reactswithjax I want that same pillow! And I always drink coffee or of my Mickey "Really Swell Coffee Co." mug 🤗 ☕
44:40 -- RE: Saying the Name of the Hammer; Fun Fact! English shares a heck of a lot of common ancestry with languages other than Latin or Gaelic, including Norse and Germanic ones. That's why we have at least half of the days of our week referencing Norse gods: Thorsday, Frigsday, and Wednesday AKA Odin's Day.The O sound in Odin has become identified with the letter W to make clear how to pronounce it. O cognate with Owe.
So, here's some basic tips for knowing what to do when you read letters that have inflections like an umlaut (double dot) on them. The ö sound means more like look than Loki. The J is half silent, a Y sound as with Fjord, or Bjorn. So It's Mjool-nir, and the Nir part doesn't require you show your teeth when you make the I sound.
During the hammer scene, besides Stan Lee, there was J. Michael Stryzinski also. He wrote for Thor, Spider-man, Doctor Strange, and a pre-Captain America story. In addition, he was one of the writers for this movie, Thor.
He is also the creator and series mastermind of Babylon 5.
That's awesome!! Thanks so much for pointing him out ❤️
This movie was amazing and interesting to watch and people thought that film was going to fail but the story was good and entertaining to see. Thanks for your reaction 😊
Paul rudd calls thor's hammer johnathan.
Their lifespan is about 5,000 years, I think. Thor is 1,500 years old.
There's more than just nine realms. The nine realms Thor speaks of are interconnected realms that he can access through the bifrost bridge. The tree under the bifrost bridge called Yggdrasil is what connects the realms with each other. There's a much larger universe beyond the nine realms which you'll discover in the guardians of the galaxy movies and captain marvel.
Since you're so easily distracted by food (the pie did look tasty) and also a fan of romantic fantasy like "Once Upon a Time" I *highly* recommend checking out the brilliant but short-lived (only two seasons) series "Pushing Daises". It's hilarious- I think you'll get a real kick out of that show! FYI it's a spin-off of the series "Dead Like Me", which is more of a dark comedy. Both are excellent, so I suggest adding them to your list of things to react to- or your polls where Patreon peeps can vote for things to watch ;)
Loved both of those shows, especially Pushing Daisies - I never knew PD was a spin off!
I have both sets on DVD on my bookshelf. Loved watching them, but never made the connection between them.
@@grumpy_older_man the spinoff status is unofficial, but I read PD was originally pitched as an episode of DLM... There was going to be an episode where the Reapers couldn't do their jobs because Ned had shown up and done his thing.
I never knew those two shows were connected! I've actually seen both and they were so good! There's a restaurant near where I live called The Pie Hole, just like Ned's in PD, and it's delicious.
12:22 YAY!!! It's Dr. Mike!!!
@2:42...remember the name of that village. It will come up later. It will also appear on a pop quiz some time in the future too...
A pop quiz!? I will ace it!!! 😂 Thanks for the tip!
Oh I am DESPERATE to watch the full length Avengers movie with your reaction, rather than just an edit. I hope you're saving the full video files in case you change your mind about starting a Patreon later on!
I'm so glad you like the reactions enough to want to watch full length versions of them! I don't know if or when I'll create a Patreon, but I have just started saving my full length reactions ❤
Seeing Josh Dallas in Thor made me want to watch Once Upon A Time. Really good show.
@43:08 They do manage to get Bifröst rebuilt by the time that Thor: The Dark World begins.
Hi Jax! Another great reaction/review. I love to see your wheels turning as you uncover more and more about the Marvel saga! I look forward to watching the rest of the saga with you. Feel free to wear that cap and outfit, It looks great on you! PS. I thought the answer to the lamb question was, "Lambchop" !!! hahaha Thanks again.
Hahahaha! Lambchop is a bit more morbid than my answer 😂 I'm so happy you liked the reaction! Going down the Marvel rabbit hole has been so fun!
@@reactswithjax Sorry! didn't mean it to be...☺
@@reactswithjaxgreat reaction again! I thought at first you were holding a rabbit...that would have been ironic 😉
thor is my favorite avenger, and loki is my favorite character all in all, both of them have interesting character arcs
Stellan Skarsgård also plays “Bootstrap Bill Turner” , William Turner’s (Orlando Bloom) father in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that! Gosh, he plays such a sad character 😢
The tree is the same one Red Skull was talking about ( since you saw Captain America already).
Another lovely video!
It's great to see that you're brave enough to be making predictions -- and a joy to see when you're proven right. Congratulations on figuring out that the Tesseract was in Fury's case. Even having watched "Captain America" first, that wasn't necessarily an easy guess to make.
And you're right that outer space and other worlds are going to play a BIG part in the MCU moving forward. But the Nine Realms aren't the totality of space; they don't even include all inhabited worlds. Those are just the planets that are under Odin's protectorate. More will be revealed before long!
Since others have explained about Mjolnir, I'll offer a few notes about the Bifrost. Ancient Norse people seemed to believe that the rainbow was a bridge between Midgard (Earth) and Asgard (the gods' realm). That's why it's so beautifully coloured in the movie -- as Thor said, it's the Rainbow Bridge. Also, Jane identifies it with an Einstein-Rosen bridge, which is a kind of wormhole -- theoretically a gateway allowing swift travel between distant points in space.
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the reaction! I was SO excited when I predicted the Tesseract was in Fury's case. I take it as a sign that I am finally starting to understand the MCU.
That makes so much sense that the 9 realms are what Thor knows of, but that there is more to it than that. I can't wait to see more of this universe.
I love that the Rainbow Bridge has roots in Norse mythology! Thanks for sharing that! ❤️
Thor: Let's move.
Jax: As opposed to what, standing here forever?
You have some skill with the snark, milady.
A couple of trivia tidbits: the first person to try to lift the Hammer after it landed in New Mexico was J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote the screenplay as well as developed a popular sci fi show in the '90s called Babylon 5.
And when Jeremy Renner was in his perch, he had his thumb up behind his ear while he pulled the bowstring; he was feeling for his pulse. Archers really do that, as their heartbeat can throw off their aim if they don't pay attention to it.
Agent Coleman is always frosty. He never panicks. What a chill chap to have around.
Yep. And Agent Coulson is a pretty cool cucumber too!
Phil is the best!
through all of the MCU, I think Thor and Loki (and maybe Tony) had the most growth. and I love it. I love their journey.
