Mjolnir is one of the most badass pieces of hero equipment. Right up there with Iron Man's suit and Cap's shield. The fact that it can only be wielded by someone IT deems worthy is pretty symbolic and awesome.
"Thor...so long entrusted with the mighty hammer, Mjolnir, forged in the heart of a dying star, its power has no equal....as a weapon to destroy...or as a tool to build. It is a fit companion for a king."
"Loki is a stinker." Perfect. You're one of the few that sees Loki's need for his father's approval. In Norse mythology, Loki was the god of mischief. I think Loki is doubly upset; first that he was adopted. Second, that he was a frost giant, who was seen as a monster by Asgardians. That's a heck of a shock. Darcy was a personal favorite. Can't wait to see your reaction to Captain America's transformation.
A lady I used to work with was dragged to see this by her young son. She was expecting to be bored because she hates movies like this. Then she saw the scene where Thor came out in a pair of jeans and no shirt and she decided that she could get into this one. When she told me the story she was fanning herself when she got to that part.
@@trygswyrmwoodside3229 That's the problem though. All films should FEEL as standalone as possible. Constantly trying to push references and in jokes in the entire thing just ruins the experience and takes you out of the story for the sake of what is basically advertising on media you didn't pay to see.
I personally agree with you, but I think the use of the word "should" is a bit loaded. Movies should do whatever they want. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make a connected story, you just can't be surprised when it drops the amount of viewers you get.@@mnomadvfx
Nice reaction - consider what an amazing achievement this film is - after Iron Man, there was a question as to whether its success was a fluke, and Thor was maybe the most ridiculous character they could use as a follow up - he's great in the comics, but think about how easily this film could have fallen on its face - and the idea of hiring pop Shakespeare auteur Branagh to solve that was just genius, as was his use of Henry IV, his casting of the leads, his balancing of romantic comedy and epic, to show how to make Thor his own franchise - IMO Thor is what really launched the MCU
You means Henry V right? Or were you talking about the plot of the Shakespeare play Henry IV in Thor rather than Branagh's film adaptation of Henry V? If the former I agree - I don't know that play specifically, but I definitely felt the Shakespearian tone of the plot, kind of like if Hamlet was actually about Hamlet the Elder and his brother Claudius and the latter had severe daddy issues which caused him to get Hamlet exiled by their father.
@@mnomadvfx I meant the Henry IV plays, where the young Prince Hal must reform himself to earn the trust of his disapproving father and become worthy of his own heroic destiny - as you mention, Branagh had filmed Henry V, so he'd have been very familiar w this
There are many times the MCU could have fallen on its face...Thor 1, Cap 1, Guardians 1. Even though Thor 1 and Cap 1 didn't break the bank, they still got good feedback and were able to keep the fanbase interested. I saw Thor 1 about a million times when it came because I thought it was outstanding. Then Captain America surprised me because there was no way in H they shoulda been able to make a good Captain America movie (infact I rolled my eyes when initially seeing its trailer and said "well they brought back Transformers and Smurfs so they gotta bring back Captain America"). Then it was Guardians 1 that showed that the MCU was here to stay. There's a whole story about how Warner Bros pushed back the release date of BvS as a result of Marvel dropping bombs in 2014 (Winter Soldier and Guardians). BvS was slated to open in competition with Captain America 3...but after seeing that everything Marvel touched turned to gold, Warner Bros was forced to push BvS away.
Awesome reaction Kristen!😊 I do love this movie i think its a great first movie for Thor having his powers taken by his father and sent to earth as a vain greedy cruel boy and learns humility and the true meaning of being a hero and Worthy of Mjolnir "Whosoever holds this hammer if they be worthy shall possess the power of Thor. Everyone is perfectly cast in this but off course we get one of the greatest MCU villain with Tom Hiddlestone as Loki and i love Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Rene Russo as Frigga I also love how magic in this movie is just science we havent discovered yet but it still feels like magic and theres still some lines in this movie that get me everytime! Keep em comin!
"I also love how magic in this movie is just science we havent discovered yet but it still feels like magic and theres still some lines in this movie that get me everytime! Keep em comin!" Pretty much how someone from the 1930s would see our time (internet, WIFI, video calling, etc) as either futuristic science or magic.
@@VforVictory00 It's no loss to see Thor first. Iron Man 2 is a weak sequel IMHO, like most of the sequels save for Cap Winter Soldier which is by far my favourite.
Hey Kristen. Your reactions are fantastic. I want to watch as you go on the MCU journey. That being said, just in case no one told you already, you skipped a movie, Iron Man 2. Circle back for that one, please.
A Stephensonpino exclusive....me likey! Also, this would be more like Xena since she was the one that traveled and met other pantheon of gods. Hercules is just the Greek /Roman gods.
Another great reaction. Love your energy and the great points you bring up during movies. I consider the first Thor to be one of my least favorites in the MCU, however I still enjoy watching it from time to time. Lots of great action scenes and funny moments. Can’t wait to see you react to Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The First Avenger, leading up to the big one.
Currently, Loki is not only worthy of Mjolnir but also worthy of the Asgard's throne but he doesn't want it now. He is sitting there at the end of time, all alone in the throne which he didn't wanted to sit on this time. 👑🔥 Like I said before, character development at it's peak.
Keep going! You are learning so much, gets so much more! Almost done with Phase 1, then things start to pick up. Also Stan Lee spotting keeps you on your toes! (Get back at you about Hemsworth's physique in Thor 2, have a short story to tell).
I'm mostly curious to see what Kristen thinks of Thor 2. But until then, I get to enjoy the rest of the MCU vids to get to that point! She's gonna be super hyped for The Avengers!
I think what you were saying in the end about your father and grandfather is captured perfectly when another marvel character said, “he may have been your father but he wasn’t your daddy”(Yondu).
After all these years, I now realized when Odin teared up in the Odinsleep, he teared up from his LEFT EYE, the eye that's supposed to have the patch. So weird to see an error like this.
So excited!! I cant believe you have not done this Marvel universe yet!!!! Whats next?? Are we doing Iron Man 2? or Captain America??? because these 2 have to be coming up next before we get the first of several masterpieces of "THE AVENGERS"
IRONY: I can understand being hit by a vehicle... I can understand being Drugged... But How on Earth is the God of Thunder taken down by a TASER? hehehe
7:56 Yo Kristen, that's the creator of Marvel comics and the entire Marvel Universe Stan Lee. He makes cameo appearances in all movies P.S You fcuked up the release order
So happy that Ur doing reactions to first phase of the MCU. Hope U'll continue with the rest of the movies, at least Infinity Saga. Thank U so much. Greets
Never noticed this discontinuity before: They Thor sets out from the cafe after breakfast (or lunch?), goes about fifty miles west, and doesn't get there until after nightfall. How long does it take to drive fifty miles on an empty stretch of highway? This isn't downtown Los Angeles during rush hour.
kristen, in the 1950s or 60s a guy appeared in a field somewhere near virginia or somewhere, and they took him to the white house and they let him talk to the president, his name was Thor
Thor has a very weird arc throughout the MCU but overall its one of the most entertaining. Without spoiling it though, Loki has an even better and crazier one (you definitely have to watch the MCU series too once you get to those)
Before this movie hit the theaters, I showed my wife the trailer, which included the shirtless scene. She said she didn't care what happened in this movie as long as Chris Hemsworth was shirtless while it was happening.
Thor is my favorite, he has been since I saw it in theaters. This movie is underrated. I like the mythology and legend twisted into the mcu in this movie. They kinda get out of the mythology aspect later on and that's a disappointment to me. I always liked reading different mythologies and that connected me to the movie more
Wow 27:07 this line from Kristen 😅 we already loki fullfill is purpose and hold the people of not only realm but all the multiverse ❤❤ he's the best character of MCU ❤
The scene with Jane running 🏃♀️ to Thor at the end of the film for a couple of viewings seemed like a great scene to me. Then I noticed her shirt and never could take it seriously again. 😂 How dare they.
Loki is probably the best villain in the MCU. Tom Hiddleston is the GOAT!
He was until they started making him more heroic.
Anti Hero
@@vgautamkrishna5197 Some of you guys and your spoilers . . . .
@@fullmoonprepping4024 fck I thought she watched loki I will remove it lol
Lol nice joke😂😂😂
Mjolnir is one of the most badass pieces of hero equipment. Right up there with Iron Man's suit and Cap's shield. The fact that it can only be wielded by someone IT deems worthy is pretty symbolic and awesome.
Not even superman was worthy until Thor died
Not IT deems worthy but rather the enchantment that Odin placed upon it.
"Thor...so long entrusted with the mighty hammer, Mjolnir, forged in the heart of a dying star, its power has no equal....as a weapon to destroy...or as a tool to build. It is a fit companion for a king."
Been worthy means having a pure of heart and noble of mind.
Loki has the absolutely best character development arch in the MCU. The best of the best. Proper writing and proper actor.
It’s interesting Kristen touches upon the theme of fatherhood and what makes a real father, since fatherhood is an important theme in the MCU.
Well it was back then.
@@shootingreal5945Up until Shang Chi
I love Thor, it's very action pack, funny and dramatic. Chris Hemsworth makes his character very awesome
"Loki is a stinker." Perfect.
You're one of the few that sees Loki's need for his father's approval. In Norse mythology, Loki was the god of mischief.
I think Loki is doubly upset; first that he was adopted. Second, that he was a frost giant, who was seen as a monster by Asgardians. That's a heck of a shock.

It's such a good movie. I love Brannagh's direction here.

How beautiful is Kristen StephensonPino 😍 👍 great reaction and can't wait for you to begin this journey! 👌
Shirtless Thor...
Happy Lil Dingdong: Damn...
😝
It’s so funny how Kristen can’t help but big smile at sweet moments lol
Thor is incredibly underrated! Its a good movie.
Back when Marvel really tried their best with every movie. They had everything to prove.
@@spextrekid9410 The early movies were truly standalone films primarily, with series tie-ins secondary.

Love Thor! Loki has the best character arc ever culminating in his TV show on Disney +
The beginning of the love hate relationship with Loki
I had no idea I needed a solo Kristen reaction until now, look forward to follow up reactions
The captain is next. Can’t wait to see your reaction to him. Especially one scene. You’ll know it when you see it.
Technically she still needs to see iron man 2. Should have been before Thor.
@@VforVictory00 well go figure
@@VforVictory00

Did I miss the Iron Man 2 reaction? Because that one was released before Thor and has a end credit scene leading into it.
?thors hammer?
"For you for all of us" gives me goosebumps 😭😭
It is fun to watch your reactions to these films that I saw back in the day real-time!
A Stephensonpino exclusive....me likey! Also, this would be more like Xena since she was the one that traveled and met other pantheon of gods. Hercules is just the Greek /Roman gods.
One of my most favorite of Marvel movies to date! This is THOR!
SUPER VIDEO REACTION.
PLEASE CONTINUE WITH YOUR AWESOME JOURNEY OF THE MCU
Kristin AND Steph both keep me coming back ❤️🔥💘♥️.
Thx jaby!
👍🙂❤️
Thanks for sharing your videos. I like to see other people enjoy the movies I love.
👍🙂❤️
I really like your analysis. Great insight and great that you tied it to personal experience.
I wonder if having yellow-orange hair would make Thor look closer to being a mix between mythologically accurate and comic accurate.
14:38 Heimdall, mythologically the "whitest" of the gods...
Kristen doesn't realize the Stan Lee cameo.
Don't think she had any 💡 who Stan Lee actually is.
Hey Kristen. 😊😉 Always a good day when I get a reaction with you.

Wow a good superhero movie. Where the hero actually learns lesson and gains wisdom!
Thor:"Father, we'll finish this together!!" 😀
Odin:-"Silence" 😡
Thor: ☹
That is right! Respect is earn!
Kristen! I can't focus! Hahaha
This is the first mcu movie i watched and loki become my favourite
Currently, Loki is not only worthy of Mjolnir but also worthy of the Asgard's throne but he doesn't want it now.
He is sitting there at the end of time, all alone in the throne which he didn't wanted to sit on this time. 👑🔥
Like I said before, character development at it's peak.
It's almost like Loki had a glorious purpose he didn't see
Odin: You will make a great king some day.
Thor: There will never be a greater than you....or a better father
I didn't expect to like Thor. 4 phases later he is my 3rd favourite Avenger.
You are lucky. You can just go and watch the next one, but we had to wait a year for the next one.
Keep going! You are learning so much, gets so much more! Almost done with Phase 1, then things start to pick up. Also Stan Lee spotting keeps you on your toes! (Get back at you about Hemsworth's physique in Thor 2, have a short story to tell).

@@fullmoonprepping4024 What's he spoiling? He didn't say what MCU movie it is.

Just because the eyeball is gone doesn't mean that the tear duct is.
So excited!! I cant believe you have not done this Marvel universe yet!!!! Whats next?? Are we doing Iron Man 2? or Captain America??? because these 2 have to be coming up next before we get the first of several masterpieces of "THE AVENGERS"

Do you recognize the blonde scientist who works with both the girls ? He's the actual father who played " Pennywise " in the 2017 IT. Bill Skarsgard.
Welcome to the beginning of Loki ride....❤❤❤
At this rate kristen will get to end game by 2026 lol
Yo there’s a trailer I’m watching right now. Some Cinepals should get together to react to the Abigail trailer. It’s crazy!
Wow it’s soo crazy how much you look like Natalie Portman forreals ❤️💯 enjoy your reactions can’t wait to see more!!
Are you serious 😂
I think KSP would make an awesome Thor!

Fun Fact: This is the first MCU movie without Tony Stark, though he is mentioned.
Interesting that you focused on Hercules since, in the comics he fought Thor and eventually became a member of the Avengers.
Before this movie hit the theaters, I showed my wife the trailer, which included the shirtless scene. She said she didn't care what happened in this movie as long as Chris Hemsworth was shirtless while it was happening.
Good origin movie, but captain 1 and iron man 1 are still better
Really enjoying your reactions, also please don't take this the wrong way but you are drop dead gorgeous!
Did you record this after your God of War Ragnarök reaction? Does God of War Ragnarok change your perception of who Loki, Thor, and Odin are?
Wait till you get to the Loki series! ❤😮😂❤
28:40 333% agree with that 🤍
"He's a child", yeah. He's a 1500 year old child
So, the prettiest one is alone today.
Early Marvel was SO good. 😃

Is it supposed to be Iron Man 2 then Thor in that release order.
yes and it's not on the channel
I'm curious which version of Hercules you want to catch
Hercules and Xena? I do need more #BawlingBeauties
Directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh
