31:58 "He got out of bed pretty quickly" That reminded me of a stand-up bit from Brian Regan, about boxes of Pop Tarts having microwave directions: 3 seconds. "I wanna meet the guy who has this tight a schedule" *hits alarm clock, jumps up, shoves pop tart in mouth and yells "Holy cow, I gotta get outta here!!" as pieces fly out of his mouth*
“You must finish what you started… because you’re right!” Chills is the correct response to that. A story where the hero doesn’t need to save the girl, just validate her life’s work. Man, I love this movie.
Loki is a good character in this movie because he surprises you. He's a good guy, no wait he's manipulative, no he's good, oh no he's evil, hold on he's good, oh never mind he's bad, wait what? Definitely not a one-dimensional character.
- In "Iron Man 2", Agent Coulson said that he had to leave because there was a "situation" in the Southwest Sector, and the credits scene shows him getting out of his SUV at the crater. - there are 2 short films that go with "Iron Man 2" and "Thor": "Marvel One-Shot #1: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer", and "Marvel One-Shot #2: The Consultant".
GREAT reaction! I love that you pay attention to the details, as it will be rewarded as you continue your journey. Can't wait for you to see where this all goes!
Almost everybody that watch Marvel reviews. They want you to highlight Stan Lee, the creator behind all of this. Just with his little cameos, and say it's Stan Lee.
Some of the very first comics were classic myths and legends. So there were Thor comics and Hercules comics and King Arthur comics. That how Thor ended up in the Avengers. If you ever make it to DC movies, Wonder Woman will have many characters you are aware of from Greek mythology.
Loki is a complicated character. In actual Norse mythology, he is a shape-shifter who sometimes assists the other gods, and sometimes sabotages them, and it's always difficult or even impossible to figure out what his motives are. In the MCU, they use that chaotic nature as a way to make him a conflicted character, at his core wanting to do what's right, but then being overcome with jealousy and greed. Also, in the MCU, he is a shape-shifter as well as being a multiplier.
Loki wanted to destroy Jotunheim as a great military victory, yes, but also: So long as the people of Jotunheim still lived, there was a chance for them or others to discover that Loki was a Frost Giant once; so Loki wanted to erase that part of himself, just like he erased his biological father, Laufey. By all this, he could make sure his secret origin was never discovered and that no one could call him illegitimate for the throne of Asgard. Loki’s plans are alway complicated and multi-layered.
It seems so!!! I can tell by the way I feel about him! On one hand… he’s hash to hate but on the other… it seems like he has a layer to him that I really feel for!!! I can’t wait to see his character develop!
Well, to be fair, the Norse pantheon of gods are far more...mortal...than most others. Their tales have their destruction already baked in, as it were.
The Marvel Asgardians are based on real Norse mythology, implying that the myths are real due to Asgardians protecting Earth and being seen as gods by the Vikings. In the actual lore, Loki, the god of Mischief, is Thor's uncle, and Sif is Thor's wife, who has blonde hair. Loki shaves her bald as a prank, and Thor was so enraged that he threatened to beat Loki to a pulp. Loki swore he would make it right and had the Dvergr (dwarves) craft her a wig of spun gold, and also gifted Thor with 3 powerful artifacts so as to escape his ire: Megingjordr, the belt of giant strength; Jarngreipr, the steel gauntlets of might; and Mjolnir the Mullicrusher, a hammer of great power that would return to Thor's hand when thrown (he needed the gauntlets to be able to do so). The hammer was flawed, however; a mistake during it's forging saw the handle get shortened significantly so it couldn't be wielded with both hands, lessening its strength. Thor is boisterous, boastful, and has a great love of killing giants. He is called the Thunder God because the Vikings thought that thunderclaps during storms were the sound of Mjolnir striking Thor's enemies, protecting the people of Midgard (Earth). They also believed that rainbows were a bridge to the realm of the gods; the Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge that is guarded by the all-seeing Heimdallr, keeper of the Gjallarhorn which will be blown to signal the coming of Ragnarok, the end of the world. My favorite myth is that of the Valkyrie Bride, where Mjolnir was stolen by the Jotun king Thrymr, in order to extort the Aesir (the gods) into giving him Freya, Queen of the Valkyries, as his bride. Loki came up with a plan to dress Thor up in a wedding dress and veil, and pretend to be Freya so they could get into the giant stronghold and take back the hammer, and it worked :D There's a Thor skin in the game Smite dedicated to this myth and it's amazing :)
Comics has a long history of using old myths as a base for characters. Ether mortals gaining the powers of a god or gods, the next generation of gods, super beings that became the bases of the myths or the gods themselves returning.
@@seanmahoney2671 Ok, I'll buy that. But I mean he has had a LOT of time to get good at fighting. Even without his super power, he'd be formidable. An extremely fit guy who likely has way more training and experience than anyone on earth.
@@mikegoodwin2386 Oh for sure! Your point is still a good one... if he is fighting some really experienced 30 year old, he would have 50x the life and fighting experience
Another terrific reaction!!!! I feel like I get to see you and Jen all through my weeks now. I hope do a team up reaction again. The best of both worlds. BTW Chris's brother was in the "Hunger Games" movies and another is in "Westworld." Great to see you again. Love and peace!😀👍❤
Marvel and DC comics both way back looked to the classical Gods and Demigods and added them to their stories. You will find a lot of the Greek Gods in DC where the Norse Gods are in Marvel. Part of the thing about being Gods as well is they are almost immortal and cannot die, but Marvel has in many ways pissed all over Thor starting with Avengers. My read on it is the makers hate everything about Thor because hes a hyper masculine male. Everything about Thor in the comics and in our actual mythos has him thus. Hes a Barbarian God, and modern Hollywood has lionized the weak beta male and has been replacing all strong men with strong women but these women are not the Heroine archetype, like WonderWoman, they are the Phalic woman archetype, where women do and act just as a strong man would.
The Thor series is probably my least enjoyed series of the MCU Universe (of the original Phases 1 - 3). But I'm here because your reactions are great. :)
Your comment about not knowing Thor as a comic book character tells me that, sadly, you have not seen Adventures in Babysitting. I strongly urge you to check it out.
Tara, I'm commenting before this reaction airs,but I thought I'd give you a heads up. Thor is not the hottest guy in the MCU. I still haven't made my appearance yet. And I'm sorry for a God Superhero from another planet, where I come from he's considered so-so if you know what I mean. KIDDING, please try to control yourself on this one. Here for it,and I can't wait! More MCU ! Good plan. Thanks Tara! Keep them coming!
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. Adam, I didn't know if you knew about Tara's channel. We may have discussed it but I can't remember. Yes "Ragnarok" is the best "Thor" the latest one is somewhat of a joke (in my opinion) have you seen it? What they did with Russell Crowe is absolutely ridiculous!
@@e.d.2096 Yes, I've been subscribed to, Tara's channel for some time, after the first joint reaction she did with her sister, Jen. No, I haven't seen the latest 'Thor' film, from what I heard about it from just about everyone, now yourself included, I'm not sure that I want to, apparently it's all about the 'woke' agenda, is that correct?
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. It does lean "Woke " and as for Russell Crowe, they did him a complete disservice,and made him look like an idiot! Christian Bale is in it as well. He was excellent in his role. But all and all, you may want to skip that one.
@@e.d.2096 That's what I thought as everything that I've heard about it hasn't been good. I didn't know that Russell Crowe's character was made to look bad in it, that's sad to hear as he's a good actor, but when you act in something you are at the mercy of the, script, direction, and editing to a great extent, even a good performance can be made to look ordinary or even worse through bad direction or editing. I'm glad to hear that Christian Bale came out well in it though.
Lol I know… but when I record these things… I do t rehearse it lol so whatever comes out of my mouth is what you get 😂 I couldn’t think of the right words I will likely call it that again before this is over so… buckle up lol
7:05 Cheers from the East Coast, where it's a bit chilly and breezy, but the grass is still green and we've only gotten a couple centimetres so far (that quickly dissipated). 🌅🍹🥃 Sorry, that was mean. 😞 Love that you're covering the MCU, so many great films and series and I'm in for all of it. 👍🤟❤
Hahaha right!!! Now boys… you both were meant to have a cookie but actually only one of you gets a cookie and you can’t share… So… good luck with that!
@@TaraTunesIn The problem is that in these situations we can talk all we want when we have hindsight, but what are adoptive parents supposed to do in that moment?... Although this is presented in that overexaggerated superhero fictional word, this is a fairly common issue and question when it comes to adoptive parents and there isn't one straight answer for everybody... Can you said that Loki wouldn't have reacted worse and done the same things, probably even sooner, if he was told from the beginning that he was adopted and that the throne was always going to be out of his reach? Can you really make that call in that moment? Like I said, hindsight is wonderful; but in that moment, Odin and Frigga considered that telling him about his true parentage would put him in danger of being treated differently by others and that he would view himself differently... There is danger in that... Yeah, there is a chance that he could've handled it and learned to make peace with it and all would be better now; but there is also a chance that things would've turned out just the same, or worse Let's not forget, Loki did all of these shenanigans with the Frost Giants BEFORE even finding out that he was one, BEFORE finding out that he was adopted and that the king of the giants is indeed his father... I can easily imagine a situation where Odin and Frigga, like many people suggest, tell Loki early on in his life about his true parentage and that he will never be in the run for the throne... And then Loki just quite simply seeks out his true father, grows closer to him and starts plotting, really plotting, to overthrow Odin and Thor and all of Asgard; under Laufy's corruption or Loki's own desires.
So disappointing that Phil, Son of Coul's significance escaped you. One my very first viewing of Iron Man he instantly got my attention. Maybe this is why so many skip over the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
@@TaraTunesIn Well that's probably just how characters strike people differently in fiction. Not being a Tony Stark I suppose I have to set my ambitions and role models at a different level.

Another great reaction Tara.. happy holidays to you.
Loki is my absolute favorite character from the MCU . They picked the perfect actor with Tom Hiddleston.
Yeah, he really kills that role. Loveable and dastardly, from one second to the next.
Even without his powers, Thor has probably thousands of years of fighting experience.
He is over 1,500 years old we find in a later movie... so over a thousand, but singular.
@@seanmahoney2671 Ok, I'll buy that. But I mean he has had a LOT of time to get good at fighting. Even without his super power, he'd be formidable. An extremely fit guy who likely has way more training and experience than anyone on earth.

8:06 - "and then he called him a princess" - he didn't; he said "princes", referring to both Thor and Loki.
How is Thor an Avenger? Find out in the next next exciting Marvel movie!
