Thor is a Live-Action Adaptation of the Marvel Comics superhero The Mighty Thor, released on May 6, 2011 in the U.S. and on April 22nd in Australia, and one week later elsewhere. It is the fourth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its Phase 1, and was directed by Kenneth Branagh.When the headstrong and arrogant actions of Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth) nearly causes a war between his home realm of Asgard and the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), strips him of his powers and banishes him to Midgard (Earth) as punishment. Taken in by astrophysicist Dr. Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and her crew, he must learn what it means to be a true hero if he ever wants to prove worthy of wielding his mighty hammer Mjölnir again. Meanwhile, his brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) discovers his true origins, and sets out on a campaign to claim the throne and steal his brother's place in his parents' eyes.Thor's story continues in the 2012 Crossover film The Avengers, the 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World, the Avengers sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron, the 2017 sequel Thor: Ragnarok, the two-part crossover Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, and the 2022 sequel Thor: Love and Thunder. Loki himself eventually got his own story to tell in Loki, a live-action series made for Disney+. | |

Aliens Speaking English | |
Thor / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking English: All of the Asgardians speak pretty good English, and one (Hogun) even has a Japanese accent. Somewhat justified in that it's hinted they visit Earth occasionally, although why it seems to be their default language is anyone's guess. The original script has a wonderful exchange between Darcy and Fandral that sort of lampshades this. She asks how the Asgardians can speak "our language." Fandral replies something to the effect of "Your language...? My dear, you're speaking our language." Even Hogun's different accent is justified. The sequel shows that he is not actually Aesir, but comes from another realm, namely Vanaheim. | |

Master Archer | |
Thor / int_10d386ea | comment |
Master Archer: Strictly speaking, Clint Barton/Hawkeye's Early-Bird Cameo keeps his archery skills as an Informed Ability, as he never actually looses an arrow. However, he's the marksman who Coulson assigns to take oversight during Blake/Thor's break-in, and from the moment he gets into position, neither he nor Coulson display any doubt that he could make the shot — at range, in uncertain lighting, from a cramped position, shooting into a melee. | |

Thor / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: Erik Selvig and Darcy Lewis were created specifically for the film to round out the human side of Thor's supporting cast. Selvig eventually went on to appear in the comics. Darcy would appear in the first sequel and, possibly due to events in the films, became an astrophysicist (like Jane), and was tapped for the brain-squad in Wandavision. | |

Bloodless Carnage: When shown the view through the Frost-monster's now-aerated head, the hole has little to no discernible dripping blood. Likewise, Thor is surprisingly clean for having flown through there hammer-first. Inexplicably, when he flies through, you see a giant gush of gore out the exit wound. | |

Heroic BSoD: Thor goes into one when he discovers that he can no longer lift Mjölnir. Then, when Loki visits him to tell him that their father has passed on, which is a lie, he nearly goes catatonic. Odin as well, since Loki's discovery of his ancestry and consequent outburst are the final push into Odinsleep. Frigga points out that he's been putting off the Odinsleep longer than he should have, and several days' worth of... extreme stress and high power expenditure finally pushed him past his limits. | |

Boisterous Bruiser | |
Thor / int_153299b4 | comment |
Loki engineers the Frost Giant's attempt to retake the Casket of Ancient Winters from Asgard, thus ruining Thor's coronation into becoming king because he felt he was unfit to rule. He totally was, but his banishment was unforeseen and unwanted. In the course of his adventures, Thor drops his hot-headed Boisterous Bruiser ways, allowing his native empathy, intelligence and leadership ability to come to the fore. | |

The Dutiful Son: Played with. Both sons have their own idea of how to impress Odin, but both involve defying him in some way. In fact, trying to prove themselves as this is the driving factor in the plot. Towards the end of the movie, however, Thor more or less begins playing this straight. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
Thor / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Thor and Loki, in each their own way. The relationship between fathers and their sons is a theme in this movie. Thor wants to be a "great king" like his father, a conqueror who defends his people by attacking their enemies. He has to learn that his father regrets that phase of his life and wants his son to be wise, generous, and peaceful. Loki has this to both Thor and Odin. He wants to be seen as a hero the way Thor is, but his natural methods are as The Trickster rather than a mighty warrior. He feels himself The Unfavorite with Odin and wants to be seen as a hero to his people, but his method is to trick Laufey into an invasion so that Loki can assassinate him, and he has to spend a long, long time learning that it's not all about what you do, it's about how you do it and why you do it. | |

The Cameo: Hawkeye makes his debut through a minor role as a sniper when Thor tries to retrieve his hammer. The movie possibly sets a record for writers of the comics doing cameos: Stan Lee gets his traditional cameo, of course. J. Michael Straczynski as the first guy who finds Mjölnir in the crater, and Walt Simonson is an Asgardian. His wife and fellow writer Louise Simonson, and Marvel editor Ralph Macchionote not the Karate Kid! are also present as extras. The Stinger with Nick Fury recruiting Selvig. | |

Disappointing Heritage Reveal: Loki is a Jötnar, the son of the Frost Giant king Laufey, but was raised as an Asgardian and Odin's son from infancy. When he discovers the truth, he's furious because, besides feeling deeply betrayed by Odin's ruse, he despises the Jötnar and, in a twisted attempt to prove his loyalty to Asgard, devises a plan to trick them into thinking he's loyal to them in order to then wipe out his own species. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Thor / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Dr. Donald Blake was Thor's secret identity in his early Marvel comics, and is used here as a fake ID to get him out of S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. Not to mention that was the name on the "Hello my name is..." tag on the first shirt Jane gave him. She says he was her ex-boyfriend. A tourism poster talks about "Journey Into Mystery," the book where Thor first appeared for Marvel. Two other entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark is mentioned, as is a certain expert on gamma-radiation. See The Stinger as well. Thor's line about having words with his brother is a reference to a very excellent moment in comic book history when he and the other Avengers pull off a Big Damn Heroes against Ultron. Said line has become something of a Catchphrase for Thor, although it's only used once in the movie. A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent calls Sif, Hogun and Fandral Xena, Jackie Chan and Robin Hood. While already a multiple Shout-Out, in the comics Fandral once claimed to have spent time on Earth during the Middle Ages and married to a woman named Marian — so he may be Robin Hood. The scene where Loki speaks to the imprisoned Thor is extremely similar to a scene in The Ultimates 2. In a Shout-Out to DC Comics and Jack Kirby's later creations, Bifröst is presented not as a simple solid rainbow but as a Boom Tube. "Look at you... The Mighty Thor..." The Frost Giant calling Thor "princess." In Norse Mythology, Thor disguised himself as Freyja to keep her from marrying Thrym king of Jötunheim and to get Mjölnir back. Yes, that is The Infinity Gauntlet you saw in the treasure vault. Other items seen include the Eternal Flame, the Warlock's Eye, the Tablet of Life, and the Orb of Agamotto. Thor's first heroics on Earth involves him saving the world from a giant robot, much like in Journey into Mystery #83 where Thor defeats a robotic weapon called Mechano-Monster sent by the invading Kronans. | |

When Jane declares that they must track down Thor even after he escapes custody at the hospital, Darcy can be seen reloading her taser. In several shots, a watertower which reads 'Home of the Vikings' is visible. Just before the Asgardians go home to battle Loki, Fandral flirts with Darcy while Thor and Jane have their emotional farewell. In several shots, a New Mexico tourism ad invites readers to "Journey Into Mystery." | |

Cheerful Funeral: The end shows Thor and the other Asgardians having a huge feast, and in The Avengers Thor tells an actually-very-much-alive Loki that they mourned him.

Sadly Mythtaken | |
Thor / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: Taken as an adaptation of Norse Mythology, it's actually easier to list the movies' accuracies than their inaccuracies. Handwaved and lampshaded with the beginning narration, stating that actual Norse myths are inaccurate in their representation of Asgardian history. See the Analysis page and the Sadly Mythtaken page of the franchise for details. Interestingly, Marvel's interpretation of Loki is one of the few not to associate him with fire. Which makes it, in this respect alone, more mythologically accurate than many other modern takes on the character. | |

Calling the Young Man Out: Early in the movie, Thor is caught starting a brawl with the Frost Giants, nearly paving the way for a war between Asgard and Jotunheim, and has to be bailed out by his father Odin. Normally the golden boy of the family, Thor is raked over the coals for this, but in an astonishing display of arrogance, tries Calling the Old Man Out for perceived cowardice. Odin's response is a full-blown "Reason You Suck" Speech that ends with Thor being stripped of his powers and banished to Earth. | |

TrailersAlwaysLie | |
Thor / int_337a0f4 | comment |
Trailers Always Lie: A positive example; the trailers for the film were regarded by many as somewhat underwhelming, but the scale and acting and dialogue have turned out to be closer to the comics than many feared. Also, some of the trailers imply that the line "You can't kill an entire race" refers to humanity. This isn't the case, as the Frost Giants and Jötunheim end up as Loki's target. In particular, except for a few brief shots, very little of the first act appears in the trailer. It is a good half an hour before Thor even reaches Earth. Also, Loki was featured in only one or two shots in all of the trailers, and when he does appear, he seems a bit like the tag-along younger brother, which he is until he descends into villainy, or like the generic Big Bad. This may have helped create the strong audience reaction to Loki — non-comics fans probably didn't expect him to have a major part, and comics fans probably didn't expect him to be portrayed as sympathetically as he was. The trailer for the first movie makes it seem like Thor reclaims the hammer in awesome fashion in the rain. He fails. | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic | |
Thor / int_33b4e7f | comment |
Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Thor only wears his signature winged helmet once near the beginning of the movie. (In case you forget about it, it's in the toyline.) Loki, on the other hand, wears an incredibly ornate one in the final showdown. Thor's helmet features in a deleted scene, just prior to the coronation, where he is handed it by a servant, and both he and Loki have a cheerful sibling chuckle about all the pomp. Despite being part of Thor's normal 616 costume (which the movie one is heavily based on), it was left out other than the above scene's quick call-out because it was heavy, and Chris Hemsworth had trouble wearing it. Fortunately, he has always been helmetless in the Ultimate series, and all the Marvel movies have been a mix of both universes. | |

Kick the Dog: Loki's petty threat to 'pay Jane a visit' when he learns that Thor cares deeply about her. In the scope of things, this is highly unnecessary and inconsequential to his schemes, and serves no purpose but to enrage both Thor and the audience. In this case the trope was exploited: Loki was trying to enrage Thor because he didn't like Thor pretending to be left-handed. | |

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Thor speaking to Heimdall says that "Earth is lost to us" now that the Bifröst is destroyed, though he may have been speaking a bit overdramatically as is his wont. In The Avengers, Loki lampshades that it must have taken a lot of Dark Energy for Odin to send Thor to Earth, making it essentially a one way trip. Indeed, only by using the Tesseract is Thor able to return home at the end. Trailers for the sequel indicate it's been repaired, which would suggest that they simply lacked an adequate power source. | |

This Means War! | |
Thor / int_36999dd | comment |
This Means War!: Invoked early on in the movie between Odin and Laufey; Thor invaded Jotunheim and killed Laufey's subjects. There is no recourse but war. Although at the time Thor was acting on what he believed was his royal duty in response to the earlier breach by the Jotuns on Asgardian soil on his coronation day (so it's still grounds for war, just with Asgard being the one to declare it instead of Jotunheim). Also, this is what Thor's Catchphrase tends to mean. In the film, said Catchphrase doubles as a Let's Get Dangerous! moment in the POV of Jane and the other humans who had doubted Thor's mental reasoning up until that point. | |

Horny Vikings | |
Thor / int_39441318 | comment |
Horny Vikings: Played with. Asgardians share some, but not all Viking clichés, and it is stated outright that Viking culture evolved under Asgardian influence, not the other way round. Also, in the brief moments where we see Vikings, there are no horned helmets to be found. The horns on most Asgardian helmets happen to be on the front (like an antelope's) rather than to the sides like cow-horns, averting the typical placement for horned helmets. This is a nice bit of set-up for Loki's donning of his own classic horned headpiece. | |

Shapeshifter Default Form: Loki is revealed to be unknowingly using his illusion powers to create a glamour that hides his true form — a blue-skinned, red-eyed Frost Giant. Since he thinks of himself as Asgardian and hates his true species, he keeps the glamour on afterward. Alternatively, some fans speculate that it was actually Odin or Frigga that placed the glamour on Loki, so that their son wouldn't feel out-of-place by seeing his Frost Giant form. | |

Adaptational Sympathy | |
Thor / int_39a41690 | comment |
Adaptational Sympathy: Loki, son of Odin, is not exactly a paragon of virtue in the comics (at least until this film came out, at which point he was altered to appear more like his MCU counterpart), being a conqueror and trickster that seeks only power for himself, or just to Troll with the other heroes for his own amusement. This film has him start off as a Well-Intentioned Extremist by setting off the plots of the Frost Giant's invasion of Asgard so he could get Thor exiled, knowing full well his brother's own rash behavior would cause Odin to inflict harsh punishment, as he feels that Thor's ascension to the throne and his Blood Knight tendencies make him ill-suited to rule, rather than trying to bump off Thor so he could claim the power for himself. His feud with Odin also gives him a more valid reason rather than simply detesting the All-Father's presence on what he believes is rightfully his throne—he is utterly crushed when he learns he was the abandoned son of King Laufey, ruler of Jotunheim, and Odin took him in as his own son, which leads Loki to think that Odin only took him in for political purposes. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: A rancher in the middle of nowhere New Mexico finds an impossibly heavy hammer in the middle of a crater, what happens? He tells everyone about it and an impromptu barbecue ensues. Thor's hammer ends up resting on a pillar of dirt in the middle of the crater it formed when it landed. This actually happens with craters. The soil/rock a meteor lands in acts just like a liquid and splashes upward in the middle. It's just that most often that spike gets weathered down or collapses under its own weight before we get to it thousands or millions of years later. | |

Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Loki's the wily Sensitive Guy to Thor's warrior Manly Man. On Jötunheim, Loki utilizes diplomacy to try to ease the belligerent tension which is brewing between Thor and Laufey, whereas Thor wants to incite Laufey to attack him. A skirmish then breaks out, and Loki relies on magical throwing knives and his illusion spells to kill Frost Giants from a distance, which juxtaposes Thor bashing them directly with Mjölnir. | |

After Thor is banished, he finds out he is a Jötunn himself, goes berserk, and Odin enters his sleep. Everything else seems to have been very well-orchestrated improvisation. | |

Also, Loki was featured in only one or two shots in all of the trailers, and when he does appear, he seems a bit like the tag-along younger brother, which he is until he descends into villainy, or like the generic Big Bad. This may have helped create the strong audience reaction to Loki — non-comics fans probably didn't expect him to have a major part, and comics fans probably didn't expect him to be portrayed as sympathetically as he was. | |

Combat Pragmatist: Loki is a big fan of distracting his foes with illusions of himself and then shooting at them from a safe distance. His magical throwing knives are the only ranged weapons used by Thor's group, other than Mjölnir (which Thor largely uses as a melee weapon anyway). Everyone else has to get up close and personal with the Frost Giants to hit them, which turns out to be a bad thing after Volstagg learns the hard way that the Jötnar can freeze by touch. When a Frost Giant who speared Fandral is moving in to finish the job, Loki is able to take down the Jötunn before the latter can reach his target. | |

Long-Range Fighter: Loki is a lethal ranged attacker with Improbable Aiming Skills, where his magical throwing knives and energy blasts from Gungnir are his dominant weapons; individual Jötnar are struck down with a single shot. However, unlike most other examples, Loki is not a Glass Cannon; he readily defends himself with one of his knives against a Frost Giant who grabs his arm, and he utilizes Gungnir as a spear. Loki is the ideal of this trope: high long-range offense, near-perfect aim, and a fast, agile fighter in close quarters. | |

Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud: To defeat the Destroyer, Thor creates a tornado to throw it off-balance.

Justified in that the tornado is under Thor's complete control via Mjölnir. Normal rules may not apply. This also happens at the end of the film with the falling, firing Bifröst creating a vortex in space. | |

Thor / int_4d8ff753 | comment |
Orc Raised by Elves: Loki had always felt different among his fellow Asgardians, but he never realized he was a Frost Giant because a Glamour had disguised his true appearance. When he discovers the truth, he's furious because while Odin did love him, Loki was nonetheless meant to be a political pawn in Odin's attempt to bring Jötunheim under Asgard's control by using his adopted son as a Puppet King who would promote Asgardian interests. Loki then strikes a deal with the Giants which would allow them to invade Asgard, and this turns out to be part of a Batman Gambit — Loki despises the Jötnar, and in a twisted way of proving his loyalty to Asgard, he had planned to wipe out his own species. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Thor / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Odin's vault has a blink-and-you-miss-it wiew of The Infinity Gauntlet, with all the Infinity Gems. Later movies of the MCU would work with the gems as a recurring plot topic, leading to Avengers: Infinity War. Kevin Feige invoked had to clarify that the one in Asgard is indeed a second one, unrelated to the main one. And Thor: Ragnarok reveals that that gauntlet is a fake. Hawkeye's Early-Bird Cameo (mentioned above) comes off as odd to anyone who's now seen the character in the later MCU productions. The Hawkeye we know now would never even have a moment where he doesn't have his bow on him, let alone momentarily consider picking up a gun rather than a bow. The movie's Asgard looks very dark compared to the colorful sequels, not helped by how it's seemingly Always Night in the scenes there. Directed by a director of Shakespearian theater, this film stands out in that it's Shakespearian theater. It has a royal family with lots of family drama rather than world-threatening monsters or a purple man who wants to demicide the universe or a working class joe who became a weapons dealer. Thor and Loki are both princes who desperately seek the king's approval. Said king is also played by a Shakespearian actor and a good chunk of the cast only joined the project because they heard it was a Shakespeare thing. It was about that time everyone knew the MCU was its own thing, and it wasn't a Shakespearian drama. This film generally has a low rating among fans, in part for being such a Shakespearian stand-out among the rest of the more than a decade of MCU films. It also has its holdouts. Shakespeare. Loki is pretty. | |

Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Natalie Portman is a tiny girl (5'3/160cm) compared to most guys, but next to Chris Hemsworth (6'3/191cm), she looks pocket-sized! It's not just the height; having bulked up so much, he probably has more than 100 pounds on her as well. | |

Unresolved Sexual Tension: Intentionally used by the writers for Sif and Thor, as the people who worked on the film wanted to be able to have the option of writing Thor/Sif into the sequels, should they later want to. During an interview, Chris Hemsworth referenced this when speaking about their relationship in the sequel, as well as what it was throughout the first movie. | |

Not Wearing Tights | |
Thor / int_520680ca | comment |
Not Wearing Tights: Played with. People in Asgard wear battle armor, capes, and other clothes which look close enough to tights. When Thor travels to Earth, however, he is stripped of his armor and wears normal clothes until it's time to go back to Asgard. As such, the costumes don't stand out in more "realistic" looking scenes. When they are shown, it is in the realm of Asgard which fits the fantastic setting and seems perfectly natural. Thor technically does not have a codename, either. Thor is his real name. | |

Invincible Hero: Hardly anyone in this movie presents a real threat to Thor. The only exception is Odin, who can take away Thor's powers at will. Given that Odin takes away Thor's power about 20 minutes into the movie and he only gets them back 20 minutes from the end, he isn't invincible most of the time we see him. See Humiliation Conga above. | |

Thor / int_532a8261 | comment |
Gender-flipped with Loki, who is a master of magic, which makes him the equivalent of a Bookworm on Asgard because magic and science are the same thing in that realm. In the original material, this is part of what made Loki a queer icon. Magic was the woman's science, and his mastery of it, learned from his mother, along with his constant gender-flipping, makes him a perfect brainy brunette. | |

This Is Unforgivable!: Not in so many words, but Thor's banishment. It's implied Odin has forgiven Thor for cocky transgressions and rule breaking in the past, but inciting a new war on Jotunheim with the Frost Giants was the absolute last straw. Except Odin isn't completely ready to give up on his son without secretly adding a Redemption Quest loophole, and enchants Mjölnir with: Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor! | |

Adaptational Attractiveness: Loki is far more attractive than his comic book counterpart, who is often (but not invariably and less so since the '80s) depicted as being hideous, particularly in the early days. Incidentally, this is more accurate to the original version of Loki, who was described in Norse Mythology as "pleasing and handsome" (an alternate translation is "beautiful and comely," which is closer to our modern definition of a Pretty Boy). | |

Fantastic Racism: Played with. While there is no little amount of bad blood between Asgardians and Frost Giants, Odin adopts Loki, a Frost Giant by birth, raises him as one of his own, and has no prejudice against him. Oddly enough, Loki thinks that destroying the entire Jötunn race would please his adoptive father. Thor's attitude towards the Frost Giants at first and Loki's comment below hint that racism and unacceptance are still present in Asgard. This essay interprets Loki's motives as Internalised Racism. | |

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Interestingly, prior to shit getting real, Loki and Thor were this. Loki — although younger — was the bookish, reasonable, responsible brother who was implied to regularly attempt to talk sense to a Thor who was childish, reckless, and volatile. However, it gets swapped throughout the film. Thor's time on Midgard as a mortal mellows him out and he matures into a Wise Prince while Loki's insecurities lead him to attempt a plot that backfires horribly on him, and it begins his path on self-destruction and villainy. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
Thor / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Elements of 616 and Ultimate Thor are integrated in the film: 616: Thor and Loki are brothers with a complicated relationship. Odin also has to undergo the Odinsleep to restore his strength. Thor's costume is also clearly based on the modern 616 design, the sleeves especially. Ultimate: Thor's ramblings about being the God of Thunder are thought to be delusional but turn out to be Real After All. Although some people think Thor's crazy in 616 as well. All the Ultimate version did was keep the readers wondering as well as the characters. This movie also introduces us to the titular character of Hawkeye as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also, Loki is infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D's infrastructure like his Ultimate counterpart. Thor himself is also a separate character from his 616 secret identity, Donald Blake. His suit's design bears a resemblance to the Ultimate Universe design (silver arm and legpieces). | |

Pragmatic Villainy: Laufey is evil, but he's not stupid. He knows that Odin's a dangerous enemy, and wants to make sure that the Asgardians fire the first shot so he can have the moral high ground when he starts the war. Loki cleverly plays this trait against him by setting him up. He allows Laufey and a few Jötunns into Asgard to assassinate Odin (causing Laufey to believe he has an ally within Asgard) while he sleeps, but only so Loki can then turn the tables on Laufey, kill him, and give himself the moral high ground in order to start a war with Jötunheim. | |

The Smurfette Principle: Sif is the only Action Girl in Thor's gang of warriors. This is lampshaded in the film, where it is noted that Sif is the only girl in Asgard to want to become a warrior, and must do so in the face of entrenched sexism. Anyone who knows about Norse history or mythology will find this odd, since Scandinavian women enjoyed more freedom than women almost anywhere else in the world during the medieval period, and Norse Mythology features several Action Girls. | |

Clarke's Third Law: The Asgardians. The law is quoted by Jane. The Asgardian Bifröst is explained as an Einstein–Rosen Bridge. However, this law cannot explain things like Odin's enchantment on Mjölnir, his Odinforce, Thor's lightning powers (it is later revealed his powers do not originate from Mjölnir), Loki's illusion powers or Heimdall's sight power, etc. In such cases, it's clear that there is actual magic behind it and not something that can be explained away scientifically or with this law. Also, Asgard's technology does use actual magic in it to an extent. | |

Big Eater: Seems common among Asgardians: Thor eats an entire plate of food and asks for more. Darcy remarks that he had already eaten an entire box of Pop-tarts before that. Volstagg, even by Asgardian standards, as Lampshaded by Fandral in one scene. | |

Brains Evil, Brawn Good: Thor and Loki — the first hint you really get toward Loki's nature is that he's using spells and trickery during the first big battle, while Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three are all in the melee. Although he does toss magic bolts that break the Frost Giants ice weapons. | |

Loki, when he appears on Earth. Strangely, nobody else even seems to notice him, so maybe he's throwing in a "you can't see me" glamour on top of his "look like a local" spell. He also owns a very snazzy suit of armor on Asgard.invoked Word of God mentioned that Loki is quite concerned about appearances; whereas Thor only had one suit of armor, Loki's got three variations. | |

Pretty Boy: Loki has big, expressive blue eyes, an elegant, youthful face (which alludes to his cultural sophistication and his mischievous nature), a slimmer build than other Asgardian males, and always moves gracefully, even when he gets into a fight. He's also clean-shaven (facial hair is the norm for Asgardian men), and Tom Hiddleston mentions in this interview that his "eyebrows were plucked to within an inch of their lives" for the role; thinner, sculpted eyebrows give the actor's visage a more feminine look. Loki's physical appearance is meant to be a sharp contrast to Thor's Hunk looks. | |

The Extremist Was Right | |
Thor / int_64d3ffd8 | comment |
The Extremist Was Right: Loki engineers the Frost Giant's attempt to retake the Casket of Ancient Winters from Asgard, thus ruining Thor's coronation into becoming king because he felt he was unfit to rule. He totally was, but his banishment was unforeseen and unwanted. In the course of his adventures, Thor drops his hot-headed Boisterous Bruiser ways, allowing his native empathy, intelligence and leadership ability to come to the fore. Nearly everything that Odin does. He makes it very clear that Thor's brazen and reckless actions threatened all nine realms and that just because the Asgardians won the War does not mean that the Frost Giants were defeated. His dialogue with Laufey implies there is a very tentative peace barely held between the two and they are effectively in a Cold War. | |

Manly Tears: Thor, Loki, and even Odin have their moments. Thor weeps when Loki comes to tell him that Odin is dead, that his exile is permanent, and that their mother has forbidden his return. Odin cries when Loki confronts him about his origins, and he's forced to admit that his younger son is an adopted frost giant. Loki breaks down when he realizes Odin isn't proud of him for attempting to genocide Jotunheim. | |

In the extended scene from the DVD/Blu-Ray release, it's strongly hinted that Loki's "slip of the tongue" was a test to see if Thor would take the bait (which he did). It proved that Thor wasn't ready for the throne after all since "a wise king never seeks out war," though the junior novelization (which tells this scene from Loki's point of view) makes it clear that he didn't want them to go to Jötunheim. Loki's terrified of the place and its inhabitants. | |

In Touch with His Feminine Side | |
Thor / int_716645fb | comment |
In Touch with His Feminine Side: By Asgardian standards, Loki is an androgynous man primarily due to his Typically Feminine Interests (his area of expertise is magic, which is usually regarded to be a woman's domain, and he loves to wear ornate armour and stylish clothing) and Effeminate or Non-Masculine Appearance (he's a Pretty Boy, and his slim frame means that he's not as physically strong compared to other Asgardian males, plus he's a Frost Giant runt). To a lesser extent, his relative Lack of Athleticism (as a sorcerer, he was a Bookworm growing up; in combat, he's an excellent ranged attacker and is skilled with a spear, but as a melee warrior, he's definitely not in the same league as Thor) and his relative Lack of Aggression (Loki has occasionally indulged in extreme violence, but he generally favours diplomacy and manipulation to achieve a desired result) also exacerbate his awareness that he's not "manly" enough in the eyes of Asgardian society. | |

Villain Has a Point: Loki is coveting the throne for himself, but he's right that putting Thor on the throne of Asgard at the beginning of the film wouldn't have ended well for anyone. By the end, even Thor himself realizes he wasn't ready for the responsibility and needs more time to mature and learn. Loki also accuses Odin of adopting him for purely political reasons. Although Odin clearly loves him, his expression suggests that this accusation hit home rather hard. | |

Beware the Quiet Ones | |
Thor / int_779009b5 | comment |
Beware the Quiet Ones: Loki. Compared to the World of Ham around him, he's almost whispering (early on, anyway). Exemplified towards the beginning when Odin and Thor are boisterously arguing ("BUT YOU'RE NOT KING! ...not yet.") and Loki's just off in the corner giving them both a sassy side-eye. | |

Self-Made Orphan: Loki makes a deal with the Frost Giant King Laufey to kill his adoptive father, Odin, in his sleep. Subverted in that it was just a ploy to be seen as Odin's savior and fabricate a reason to anihilate Jotunheim, but played straight in that he kills Laufey, who is his biological father. | |

So when Loki sends the Destroyer to kill him, Thor offers to sacrifice himself in order to spare the innocent civilians. This is the act of selflessness that makes him worthy to wield Mjölnir again. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |
Thor / int_7c862b8a | comment |
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Loki. First, he goes behind his father's back to aid the Frost Giants in order to "ruin his brother's big day" — indirectly resulting in the death of two innocent guards and Thor's banishment, which Loki didn't want based on his fuller arc in the deleted scenes, but he nevertheless uses to his advantage. He probably also didn't intend to send Odin into a coma, but he took full advantage of the situation to take the throne and keep Thor banished, lying to his brother about Odin being dead and a treaty with the frost giants stipulating that Thor stay gone. Then, he approached the king of the frost giants with a deal: kill Odin in his sleep, and Loki would return their lost MacGuffin. Finally, when said King of the Frost Giants approached Odin's bedside, Loki blew him away in order to try to appear as a hero before his father. Unfortunately for him, Thor showed up and spilled the beans moments later, but that didn't stop Loki from going on to try to annihilate the entire Frost Giant realm. | |

Hide Your Otherness: After Loki discovers that he's actually a Jötunn, he never deactivates his Asgardian Glamour because he was raised by his adoptive society to hate and fear Frost Giants, and thus he's ashamed of his true lineage and doesn't want to look like a "race of monsters." Moreover, having been wholly assimilated into Asgardian culture, maintaining his Asgardian veneer is his way of proving to others that he's still very much a citizen of Asgard despite his alien background. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: While still a villain, Laufey is far from the sadistic brute that he was depicted as in the comics. When reuniting with Loki in the comics, Laufey expresses nothing but open distaste for his son and doesn't hesitate in trying to kill him. In the original script of the film, Loki told Laufey who he was and Laufey also replied "Ah, the bastard son. I thought Odin had killed you. That's what I would have done. He's as weak as you are." This scene was never filmed. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: The ultimate fate of the The Destroyer and the Casket of Ancient Winters remains unexplored.

In The Avengers it is revealed S.H.I.E.L.D. recovered the remains of the Destroyer and reverse engineered it. Thor: Ragnarok shows the Casket to be back in Odin's Vault. What happened to the S.H.I.E.L.D. guys spying on Thor from the rooftop? Volstagg knocks them out in one of the deleted scenes, but they don't try to evacuate the town or fight the Destroyer in the actual film. | |

Doing In the Wizard: Played with. While the comics firmly depict the Asgardians as gods who are magical in nature, the film's Asgardians are explicitly aliens, with their powers kept ambiguous. Some of it is attributed to advanced technology, but Loki's powers are explicitly called magic. The Asgardians do not draw a distinction between the two as modern humans do. | |

Brainy Brunette | |
Thor / int_8748f851 | comment |
Brainy Brunette: Dr. Jane Foster is an astrophysicist. Gender-flipped with Loki, who is a master of magic, which makes him the equivalent of a Bookworm on Asgard because magic and science are the same thing in that realm. In the original material, this is part of what made Loki a queer icon. Magic was the woman's science, and his mastery of it, learned from his mother, along with his constant gender-flipping, makes him a perfect brainy brunette. | |

Sharp-Dressed Man | |
Thor / int_87ab7f69 | comment |
Sharp-Dressed Man: Loki, when he appears on Earth. Strangely, nobody else even seems to notice him, so maybe he's throwing in a "you can't see me" glamour on top of his "look like a local" spell. He also owns a very snazzy suit of armor on Asgard.invoked Word of God mentioned that Loki is quite concerned about appearances; whereas Thor only had one suit of armor, Loki's got three variations. Agent Coulson fulfills this trope, as part of his The Men in Black dress code. | |

The World Tree: Yggdrasil, which binds the nine realms (Midgard/Earth, Asgard, Jötunheim, etc.) together. You can see it hovering as the universe itself during the end credits. The power arcs of the activated Bifröst (inside what director Branagh called Heimdall's "observatory") are also representative of the Yggdrasil. In the prelude for Thor: The Dark World, Odin mentions that Loki fell into "Yggdrasil itself" when he let himself fall into the abyss at the end of Thor. | |

Parental Favoritism: Odin paid more attention to Thor, who is his eldest son and whom he shares a lot in common with, as they both embody the ideals of Asgardian masculinity. Tom Hiddleston confirms this when he affirms that "[Odin] connected much more with Thor. They were sort of cut from the same cloth." Odin's preference for Thor initially made him blind to the latter's faults. | |

Spare to the Throne: Because Thor, the Allfather's firstborn, has been exiled to Midgard, Loki, as the second son, becomes the regent of Asgard after Odin becomes indisposed due to the Odinsleep. In the past, it's implied that Frigga once held the office of regent (Sif and the Warriors Three initially believe that they need to speak to the Queen about undoing Thor's banishment), but now that Loki has come of age, he inherits the position. This deleted scene makes it clearer: | |

He doesn't seem to consider that Odin might disapprove of him wiping out an entire species. | |

Patricide: Double subverted. Loki appears at one point to be plotting Odin's murder, but it turns out it's all part of a ploy to impress Odin by apparently saving his life. At the same time, this involves killing Laufey — whom he has just discovered to be his biological father! While Loki isn't Laufey's son in any meaningful sense of the word, it seems likely that he wants Laufey dead precisely so as to permanently abjure any potential relationship between them. | |

Villainous Breakdown: Many of Loki's actions in the second half of the movie, and thus the plot for that portion, can be attributed to a very steep downward spiral that starts from the moment he discovers that he is a Frost Giant. It's clear some of the more extreme actions he takes later are not what he had originally planned to take, and even as he keeps his trademark composure he appears increasingly harried over the course of the movie. By the climax he's lost all veneer of composure. | |

Villains Blend in Better: Loki, when he sneaks to Earth, looks like a Sharp-Dressed Man. Additionally, nobody can see him except Thor. A simple trick for the God of Lies. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
Thor / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Loki is this to Frigga. They're linked through their femininity, as she's the lone woman in the royal family and he's an androgynous man. Frigga is happy being the Queen consort of Asgard with a supporting role in her husband's reign, whereas Loki is miserable having to play second fiddle to Thor, the Crown Prince. Loki's envy and resentment towards his brother eventually lead him to commit fratricide (although the enchantment Odin had placed on Mjölnir revives Thor), while Frigga is devoted to Odin and protects him from Laufey's mook. | |

Showy Invincible Hero | |
Thor / int_9b5516f0 | comment |
Showy Invincible Hero: Thor has to be Brought Down to Normal to be given a fair fight. While he has his powers, he pretty casually decimates an army of Frost Giants, shoves the Destroyer's energy blast back in its face without taking a hit, and while Loki does initially begin the fight by kicking him around, it's because Thor refuses to fight his brother until Loki starts threatening Jane Foster. At which point, Thor tackles him through the Bifrost's observatory and lays his hammer on his chest. The point of the movie is to show a god discovering humanity. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
Thor / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: To the film's credit, the answer is pretty damn high. As part of Thor's Character Development, he stops seeing the Jötnar as merely walking experience points and pleads with Loki to stop his genocidal plan. Loki, however, calls the Jötunn a "race of monsters", despite being one himself. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Thor / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Heimdall pointed that, if he left the Bifröst open (instead of opening it to make a transport and then close it again), he would destroy Jötunheim. It you stop to think in that line, it shouldn't have been any surprise that later in the film someone would attempt to actually use the Bifröst as a weapon doing exactly that. "Allfather, you look... weary." Loki's hand and lower arm turn blue when a Frost Giant attempts to "freeze-burn" him. Loki's first appearance on Earth. His powers aren't nerfed like Thor, but he can't lift Mjölnir either. Also, according to Odin, both Thor and Loki "were meant to be king"; Loki is the son of the Jötunn King. Blink-and-you'll-miss-it: The Infinity Gauntlet is stored in the Weapons Vault... and The Avengers showed us Thanos. If you're unfamiliar with Loki's inferiority complex from the comics, just watch the first half hour of the film set in Asgard and Jötunheim and watch his face every time someone talks over him or shuts him down (which happens a lot). And all the way to Thor: The Dark World, this line: And even all the way to Thor: Ragnarok, when Odin calls Thor, "my firstborn" and his voice trembles a bit at the line. The third film reveals Thor is not Odin's firstborn, but he had to imprison and remove all memory of his actual firstborn child, because her lust for power and conquest outstrips that shown by Thor in this film a hundred-fold. It's established early on that the Asgardians can instantaneously travel across vast interstellar distances via the Bifrost, which is presented as an advanced wormhole gateway. In light of later films, this shouldn't be that surprising, considering they had an Infinity Stone in their possession for centuries — specifically, the one that gives its owner mastery over Space. When Thor reminds Sif and the Warriors Three of all he's done for them, he asks Sif who proved that a woman could fight as well as a man. Sif pointedly says that it was she who did that. Thor cheerfully backpedals with a "true, but I supported you!", but this is actually an early hint of his Fatal Flaw — he tends to perceive himself as the main character of every story, even ones where he knows intellectually that he just played a supporting role. | |

Made of Iron: Part of the physiology of Asgardians and Jötnar. The explosion of the Bifröst Bridge that hurled Thor and Loki hundreds of feet into the air didn't seem to make a scratch on them. Which makes Loki's look in The Stinger quite odd: his reflection in a glass panel seems to sport burns and bruises on the left half of his face. | |

The Evil Prince: Subverted. Loki shows all signs of being the evil prince, who wants his brother and father out of the way so that he can have the throne, except for one thing: he doesn't want the throne. He never intended for Thor to be banished to Earth or for Odin to fall into the Odinsleep. After they do, it just drops into his hands. His genuine puzzlement when Frigga orders Gungnir, the symbol of kingship, to be handed to him as the Spare to the Throne in a deleted scene, and his Motive Rant during the fight with Thor prove it. | |

Thor / int_a2484b0e | comment |
The Beautiful Elite: As a Prince of Asgard, it's expected that Loki's wardrobe be lavish and majestic, but he takes the "beautiful" part much more seriously than Thor or Odin. Loki's attire is noticeably more elaborate than theirs, and it always flatters his statuesque frame. The extravagant horns on his gold helmet magnify his imposing stature, and combined with his royal armour, it leaves no doubt that he's part of the ruling class. He's easily the best-dressed man in the realm. | |

Loki is The Chessmaster who's capable of outsmarting King Laufey. He's the only known individual who can block Heimdall's Super-Senses, which makes Loki extraordinarily adept at evasion. With throwing knives and illusions, Loki can take down Frost Giants. | |

When Thor reminds Sif and the Warriors Three of all he's done for them, he asks Sif who proved that a woman could fight as well as a man. Sif pointedly says that it was she who did that. Thor cheerfully backpedals with a "true, but I supported you!", but this is actually an early hint of his Fatal Flaw — he tends to perceive himself as the main character of every story, even ones where he knows intellectually that he just played a supporting role. | |

Bodyguarding a Badass: Odin is the most powerful being in the Nine Realms, but he's helpless during the Odinsleep, so it's Frigga's duty to guard him as he recuperates. She kills one of Laufey's goons who attempts to assassinate her husband. | |

Save the Villain | |
Thor / int_ac560dc4 | comment |
Save the Villain: A key sign of Thor's growth as a hero. An ordinary person would want to save their friends, but to fight with everything you have to save your deadly enemies (in this case, the Frost Giants) from an unjust death for no other reason than it being the right thing to do takes a special kind of nobility. Invoked by Loki and subverted during the climactic battle between him and Thor. When they crash through the wall of the Observatory and onto the Bifrost, Loki rolls over the edge and is left clinging to it by his fingertips. As they are brothers, Thor only hesitates briefly and reaches down to help him, but it turns out to be one of Loki's illusions. Defied when Odin tries to save both of his sons from falling into the abyss after the explosion of the Bifrost, but Loki lets go and allows himself to fall. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
Thor / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: If Loki hadn't tried to ruin Thor's big day, then tried to get him banished, Thor would've ended up being kind of a dick, instead of maturing like he did. In fact, his visit to Thor's cell is specifically what changes him into a better man. Also, Loki's plan to make himself the hero inadvertently informed Odin that Loki was the traitor, which makes the whole ending even more tragic when you realize that, raging jealousy for his brother aside, it might be what Loki intended all along. Loki did explicitly state that he didn't think Thor was ready for the throne, and that is why he interrupted the ceremony. It seems that Loki sort of changed his plans about halfway through the movie, but his previous actions had already screwed him over. Also, had Loki not panicked and sent the Destroyer to kill Thor, it's unlikely Thor would have found the means to prove his worthiness. Yeah, Loki would have still been ousted as a traitor, but Thor wouldn't have stopped his plan to eliminate Jötunheim. | |

Oh, Crap!: Thor gets several. First when he basically starts a war in Jötunheim and Heimdall refuses to open the Bifröst for him. Second when he tries to lift Mjölnir and can't, then sees the spell cast on it by Odin. Third when he calls on Heimdall to open the Bifröst so he can stop Loki's plan, only nothing happens. Loki, Sif, and the Warriors Three all get one when Laufey just can't resist throwing one last taunt at the Blood Knight Thor. Erik, until that point the Only Sane Man, recognizes SHIELD when they show up and realizes that he, Jane, and Darcy in way, way over their heads. | |

Thor / int_af696bef | comment |
Fish out of Water: Downplayed with Thor. The writers said they wanted to avoid the usual trope of a character coming to Earth and instantly becoming an idiot. To that end, they have Thor be easily capable of understanding Midgard once he cares to try. It makes sense, he's been there before. Though he was primarily interacting with a culture that was basically his own. This could also be why he gets along well enough with the Scandinavian Erik Selvig. | |

Twisting the Words | |
Thor / int_b109e518 | comment |
Twisting the Words: Loki, of course. Unlike most other examples of the trope, he not only does this to sabotage others, but it's also ingrained so deeply in his character that he always believes the worst in people. Also invoked by him when he says that Thor cannot go to Jötunheim without defying Odin; Thor interprets that as a recommendation rather than a warning. Which is exactly what Loki wanted. When Odin explains that he saved Loki as a child because he hoped that one day Loki can serve as an example that Frost Giants and Asgardians can peacefully co-exist, Loki instead believes that Odin saved him only because he wanted an extra war trophy. Odin even reacts by asking, "Why do you twist my words?" | |

The Queen's Latin: All of the actors playing Asgardians speak with some form of a Received Pronunciation accent, regardless of their nationality. Hogun, however, speaks with a Japanese accent, but this is explained in the sequel as being due to Hogun being from Vanaheim. Heimdall is another exception, as Idris Elba's lower class British accent seems to be largely unmodified in the film. For example, whenever Elba uses a "th," it sounds more like an "f." | |

He was trying to prove he really deserved to be Odin's son. Not some fucking Jotun, a true Asgardian. He fell into the abyss thinking his father despised him, that he'd betrayed his brother. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
Thor / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: A Frost Giant soldier thinks it's a good idea to insult Thor as "little princess." Thor responds him by striking the bastard with his hammer. The fact that Loki was offering to let King Laufey have the Casket of Ancient Winters back with no strings attached once Odin was dead should have raised several red flags. Loki's terms never provided for any sort of permanent immunity for Asgard once their plan had been carried out, which should have reeked of "too good to be true". If Loki were serious about the agreement, he would have made Laufey promise to stay out of Asgardian business once he had what he came for but instead Loki implies that Laufey will be free to do as he pleases once he enacts the assassination of Odin and Loki can be installed as ruler of Asgard. | |

False Dichotomy | |
Thor / int_b894042e | comment |
Loki subtly uses some at the beginning of the film. Specifically, he says the only way for Thor to solve the problem is to defy Odin, then sees the determined look on Thor's face as the idea sinks in and immediately tells him that he can't. It's a really subtle bit of acting for both men. In the extended scene from the DVD/Blu-Ray release, it's strongly hinted that Loki's "slip of the tongue" was a test to see if Thor would take the bait (which he did). It proved that Thor wasn't ready for the throne after all since "a wise king never seeks out war," though the junior novelization (which tells this scene from Loki's point of view) makes it clear that he didn't want them to go to Jötunheim. Loki's terrified of the place and its inhabitants. | |

Thor / int_bdf0640e | comment |
You're Not My Father: An indirect version — since only one of the characters is aware of the relation — takes place when Loki shoots Laufey with Gungnir while making it very clear who he considers to be his true parent: A scene invoked that was present in the original script where Loki did reveal himself to Laufey as his son. Laufey then admitted his Parental Abandonment of him. | |

Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Loki. Judging from just the flashback scene and how most of the other characters treat him, he and Thor used to have a very good relationship, and he used to be just a sweet kid who had a penchant for mischief before jealousy set in. | |

When All You Have Is a Hammer… | |
Thor / int_bf698238 | comment |
When All You Have Is a Hammer…: Averted, but definitely worth mentioning partly because Thor's weapon is a hammer and partly because it's part of Thor's Character Development. Mjölnir is a fine example of a Swiss-Army Weapon, able to shoot lightning, return to its wielder's hand when thrown, and grant flight, just for starters. The trick is thinking of nonviolent uses for it, which doesn't occur to Thor at the start of the movie. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
Thor / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: While Laufey is right about Thor mucking around with things that will only lead to bloodshed if he had any sense of self-reflection about his actions, Thor wasn't just in Jötunheim entirely for personal glory but because he was angered over an illegal invasion of his lands. The fact Odin did not want to deal with Laufey over it is being overly conservative when the invaders killed two guards and almost stole back their people's most dangerous weapon. In the very least a pointed discussion with Laufey should have been on the table (counter-invasion being a bit much as a first move but a consideration down the line should Laufey be uncooperative) as the terms of their truce were faltering. | |

Irony: The God of Thunder gets tasered by a human when he lands on Earth after being depowered. What makes it funnier is that he just said, "You dare threaten me, Thor, with so puny a weapon!" Loki, the God of Lies, has been lied to his whole life about his true ancestry. Frigga informs him that Odin kept it a secret because he didn't want Loki to feel different, yet Loki had always been treated like an outcast because he fell short of what the ideal Asgardian man should be. | |

Heritage Face Turn: An inverted case for Loki. Loki finds out he is of Jotunn — Frost Giant — lineage and confronts his adoptive father Odin who reveals he adopted an abandoned baby Loki after his forces killed many of the Frost Giants. Angered at being The Un-Favourite and by the revelation that Odin took Loki in an attempt to use him to bring about an alliance and permanent peace between the Asgardian and Jotunn kingdoms, Loki kills Laufey and attempts to annihilate all the Frost Giants, decrying them as a race of monsters, to make himself look like he saved his father's life and thus prove himself worthy of being the King of Asgard. | |

Not That Kind of Doctor: Discussed when Dr. Selvig and Coulson talk about "Dr. Donald Blake", Selvig claims that "Donald" is a physicist, but Son of Coul points out that "Donald" is M.D. in his ID. Also applies to Darcy Lewis, who's working as a college intern. When she asks what an Einstein-Rosen bridge is, Selvig says that he thought she was a science major. Jane tells him that it's in political science; she happened to be the only applicant. Funnily enough, Darcy does eventually study to become an astrophysicist. | |

Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon | |
Thor / int_cc39902e | comment |
Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Loki has a boyish, youthful, innocent-looking visage, and he's a Boomerang Bigot who attempts to annihilate the entire Jötunn species. After Thor has thwarted his plans and they're both hanging off the edge of what remains of the Rainbow Bridge, Loki glances up at Odin with Puppy-Dog Eyes, and in spite of the genocide that Loki had just tried to commit, his facial features are still childlike, which conveys visually that deep down, he's a love-starved boy who wishes for nothing more than to earn his father's respect and affection. When Odin expresses his disappointment at his adopted son's actions, a heartbroken Loki then releases his grip on Gungnir, and he almost literally becomes a Fallen Angel — he's a god who has fallen from grace and from the heavens (Asgard), and plunges into an abyss (a hell of sorts). | |

Thor / int_cea9db1 | comment |
Not Always Evil: Despite being both the main antagonist and a Frost Giant, Loki is actually a straight example of this trope. While some might consider his character evidence that Frost Giants are actually Always Chaotic Evil, he only jumps off the slippery slope after finding out he’s a Frost Giant, and Used to Be a Sweet Kid. It is heavily implied that it is the revelation that he is part of a species he was taught to hate that affects his behavior, not an inborn evil nature due to his species. | |

Anti-Villain | |
Thor / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Loki flip-flops between a Nominal Hero and a Woobie Anti-Villain throughout most of the film. His intentions were good, he had a valid point about Thor not being ready to be king, he tried to speak up for his brother before discovering his true heritage, and it's implied that finding out he was a Frost Giant is what drove him over the edge and really turned him against Thor. Thor's attitude towards Loki through most of the movie also makes his behavior all the more justified. While it initially seemed like Loki had wanted Odin dead, this is later revealed to be a ruse. His use of the Bifröst on Jötunheim is still a clear-cut attempt at genocide. Loki is a lost boy, desperately seeking his father's approval, a nerd in a society of bruisers. He's wrong in what he does, but he's not wrong about being The Unfavorite. He's not wrong that he's different. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
Thor / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: The Destroyer. In the comics, it is Asgard's ultimate weapon, designed to kill cosmic entities of unimaginable power. When facing it, it is all Thor can do to survive, much less actually overpower it. The beam it blasts from its face is capable of disintegrating anything, up to and including Mjölnir. In the movie, Thor easily obliterates it once he gets his powers back, and Mjölnir easily blocks the beam attack. | |

Our Wormholes Are Different | |
Thor / int_d51553de | comment |
Our Wormholes Are Different: The Bifröst bridge is actually a traversable Einstein–Rosen Bridge (read: wormhole) appearing as a beam of light shooting to and from the sky. The myth of it being a rainbow bridge is due to the fact that it causes atmospheric disturbances as it opens up on Earth. It also comes with a neat light show. If you keep it open longer than a few seconds, it can act as a Wave-Motion Gun and destroy an entire planet... Which makes a lot more sense when one considers the ludicrous energies required to make one of these things work in Real Life. | |

Heinousness Retcon | |
Thor / int_d79f4a9e | comment |
Heinousness Retcon: In the first film, Loki appears to have been a decent kid and maintained a close relationship with his brother, only growing treacherous in adulthood due to a combination of envy, a misguided attempt to restrain his brother, and to appease his father. Both Thor and the Warriors Three express disbelief in the first film at the possibility that Loki could be a traitor. Come Thor: Ragnarok it's claimed that Loki has always had a treacherous side since childhood, with Thor relating an incident when they were 8 and Loki stabbed him as a "prank". | |

Race Lift | |
Thor / int_d7c3ba61 | comment |
Race Lift: Heimdall is now played by a black actor, Idris Elba. The film's version of Heimdall was carried over into the Thor: The Mighty Avenger comic which was made to be closer to the film than the regular comics. note Hilariously, Heimdall was described in myth as "the whitest of the gods." note The "whitest of gods" can never have been about his skin color, which the Vikings must have been unconcerned with; as a rainbow god he stands for purity. Hogun, whose look in the comics was partially inspired by actor Charles Bronson, is played by Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano. This isn't necessarily a major change, as the character has always been depicted as a non-Aesir from a vaguely Asiatic realm (though one that looks more Mongolian than Japanese). note Hilariously, Tadanobu Asano had played Genghis Khan in the film Mongol a few years earlier. | |

Thor / int_d8d22bb0 | comment |
Dutch Angle: Done a lot, presumably to further emphasize the Asgardians' heights or that being on Midgard is just so darn weird for Thor. According to Kenneth Branagh's DVD commentary, this was done to create a look similar to comic book panel layouts. In one of the deleted scenes on the DVD, the camera angle becomes very tilted after Erik gets drunk. Erik lies to Coulson about Thor (a.k.a. Donald Blake). Coulson knows he's lying. He wants to see where this is going. | |

Cute Monster Girl | |
Thor / int_d9e946ae | comment |
Cute Monster Girl: Gender-inverted; Loki was abandoned by the Frost Giant king Laufey for being too small. When Odin found the crying and helpless infant, it resembled a blue human (or Asgardian) baby with raised lines on its skin. Although Odin had pragmatic reasons to adopt the offspring of an enemy (he had planned for Loki to become the next sovereign of Jötunheim), it's implied that he also took pity on the child, which was facilitated by the fact that Loki looked no less cute than any other Asgardian baby. As an adult, Loki becomes a male Green-Skinned Space Babe whenever he's in the presence of Jötunn magic. | |

Green-Skinned Space Babe | |
Thor / int_de085a36 | comment |
Green-Skinned Space Babe: Gender-flipped; in his Frost Giant form, Loki is a lot more attractive than the grotesque, monstrous-looking members of his race. Another way to look at this is that Colm Feore (who portrayed Laufey) is wholly unrecognizable with the make-up and prosthetics, yet Tom Hiddleston's prettiness remains even when we see Loki with red eyes and raised patterns on his blue skin. This is consistent with his depiction in Norse Mythology; Loki is the sole male Giant who is "pleasing and handsome" while the other men of his kind are extremely repulsive. | |

Exact Words: Heimdall employs this when he sends Sif and the Warriors Three to search for Thor. He loves this trope — he waits for Loki to announce that he's banished from Asgard to turn on him (since he no longer owes him loyalty). His mastery of this to say or hear things that aren't explicit is lampshaded by Fandral the first time he does it; "He's a complicated fellow, isn't he?" It overlaps with Rules Lawyer. | |

A horse with eight legs no less. Then he does it a second time to save Thor and Loki from falling into a wormhole. Loki invokes this trope to gain favor with his parents, intentionally setting up the Frost Giant assassination plot just so he could foil it. Fortunately, Thor shows up to immediately spoil the moment for Loki. | |

The War Just Before: In the beginning of the film, Odin tells his sons a story about the war Asgard waged against the Frost Giants under his command. Peace with the former enemies is broken shortly after, then Thor ventures to Jotunnheim. | |

Hawkeye's Early-Bird Cameo (mentioned above) comes off as odd to anyone who's now seen the character in the later MCU productions. The Hawkeye we know now would never even have a moment where he doesn't have his bow on him, let alone momentarily consider picking up a gun rather than a bow. | |

Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Loki is a male version, as he's raven-haired with pale skin, and the juxtaposition between the two heightens the blueness of his expressive eyes. For an Asgardian male, he possesses an androgynous personality, so conveniently, he's beautiful in a feminine way. | |

War Is Hell: After having lived through the war between Asgard and the Frost Giants, which is repeatedly described as destructive and terrible, Odin is very dedicated to ensuring that sort of thing never happens again. Laufey, to an extent, feels the same, but in contrast to Odin, he's very vindictive and thus not shy about starting another one should the situation arise, and even then he tries to prevent such a situation from occurring. | |

Reverse Psychology | |
Thor / int_f7588306 | comment |
Reverse Psychology: Loki subtly uses some at the beginning of the film. Specifically, he says the only way for Thor to solve the problem is to defy Odin, then sees the determined look on Thor's face as the idea sinks in and immediately tells him that he can't. It's a really subtle bit of acting for both men. In the extended scene from the DVD/Blu-Ray release, it's strongly hinted that Loki's "slip of the tongue" was a test to see if Thor would take the bait (which he did). It proved that Thor wasn't ready for the throne after all since "a wise king never seeks out war," though the junior novelization (which tells this scene from Loki's point of view) makes it clear that he didn't want them to go to Jötunheim. Loki's terrified of the place and its inhabitants. Coulson also uses a bit of this after releasing Thor into Selvig's care. He tells Selvig to keep Thor "away from the bars." Selvig promptly invites Thor for a drink after leaving his company. This is later revealed to have made it easier for his men to track their movements. | |

Love Makes You Evil | |
Thor / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: And also Crazy. Throughout the film, you get the sense that Loki really did love his adoptive father. The belief that he would never be accepted, especially after discovering his true parentage, was what tipped him over the edge. Even in the end, in his Motive Rant, Loki declares that everything he did was for his father. The only way in which that is not is the stuff he did so Thor, his brother, would see him as an equal. | |

Sufficiently Advanced Alien: The Asgardians again. Lampshaded several times. It doubles as Sufficiently Analyzed Magic; Thor states that many of the things humans now call science used to be dubbed magic, and Asgard has simply stopped bothering with the pretense — probably around the time that they stopped needing physical tools to practice it. QED, they simply say that Loki is a spell caster... | |

Thor / int_fb724048 | comment |
Ultimate: Thor's ramblings about being the God of Thunder are thought to be delusional but turn out to be Real After All. Although some people think Thor's crazy in 616 as well. All the Ultimate version did was keep the readers wondering as well as the characters. This movie also introduces us to the titular character of Hawkeye as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Also, Loki is infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D's infrastructure like his Ultimate counterpart. Thor himself is also a separate character from his 616 secret identity, Donald Blake. His suit's design bears a resemblance to the Ultimate Universe design (silver arm and legpieces). | |

Nurture over Nature: It's still his adoptive family and his adoptive society that Loki exclusively identifies with. He looks (albeit with a glamour), talks, and dresses like an Asgardian, covets the Asgardian throne, and uses magic which he had learned from his Asgardian mother as his primary power. He has no interest in his Jötunn heritage, and no desire to rule Jötunheim; in fact, he tries to impress his Asgardian father by destroying it. Loki consistently presents himself as an Asgardian and is regarded as such by everyone he meets. | |

Shown Their Work | |
Thor / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The battle between the Aesir and the Jötunn in the beginning of the film is stated to take place in Tønsberg, Norway. The author that first mentioned Tønsberg? Snorri Sturluson, the author of the Prose Edda. The representation of Tønsberg, however, is highly incorrect, and makes it look more like a western Norwegian fjord-end village. The real Tønsberg is located in a fairly flat region. Many Norwegians found this amusing. When S.H.I.E.L.D. seizes Jane's work, they give her a check, meaning that they're seizing her work and materials under the Fifth Amendment, the right of eminent domain (i.e. the government can take private property for their use, but they have to pay for it). Seizure under eminent domain can be challenged in court, although the results depend on whether a) the government can claim its necessity for "public use" and b) whether a "fair price" for the materials was offerednote In other words, Jane would lose such a challenge, as S.H.I.E.L.D. is essentially saying, "Tell us how much money you want for it," and they could also claim national security issues. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around the Mjölnir crater have assault weapons but don't engage Thor with lethal force because he has not escalated to the point that lethal force would be justified based on the usual US military rules on force escalation. After the Destroyer has been defeated, Coulson comes in. Thor addresses him as "Son of Coul", which follows old naming conventions and is essentially the meaning of his name: Someone who is the son of a man by the name of Coul. | |
