Magic Hate Ball posted:Was it just me, or did her antler headdress wiggle around sometimes? It kinda looked like a big spider in waiting and I hope I wasn't imagining that because it'd be uber dope if that was the case. Dunno, but it was different every time it came out. Inescapable Duck posted:Spider was definitely an animal motif I was thinking of. (Could blame the last Phoenix Wright game) Might fit a bit with Loki having a bit of a snake motif, though dunno what that makes Thor. Frog? He's being endlessly compared to a golden retriever online. Pity we'll never see Throg in the MCU, though.

It was a much better password joke than the "Shamballa" wifi password joke in Dr Strange. Also I swear I've seen pretty much the same joke somewhere when Tony sets Captain America's password as "Golden Oldie" or something but I can't remember where

Oh man thank you for reminding me, doctor strange was so much better in this than his own movie Now there was a movie that hated itself. 90% if it's magic spells were for teleporting or regular fighting. But his one scene in Thor already had more varied uses of magic. Even the same teleportation spell was used in a more interesting way.

thor and loki in the land of giants involves a drinking contest that thor undertakes and loses, later to find out that the horn he was trying to drain was connected to the world's oceans and he lowered the sea level by a very visible amount. i doubt it was an intentional reference though

It's a great story where they're being hosted by this group of jotuns who keep challenging Thor to increasingly demeaning feats of strength, all the while mocking him as he keeps failing. Then afterwards it turns out it was a bunch of illusions, and every task was actually some monumental and earth shattering achievement, and far from being amused they were all scared shitless by how well he did

There's an old Danish movie called Valhalla, based on a fantastic comic, that features the giants' challenges. Unfortunately I can't find a clip of the drinking contest, but here's clips of Loki having an eating contest, and Thor trying to lift the giant king's cat. https://youtu.be/5jSs4pwokCg https://youtu.be/VvNyu_p4ZPQ

There's also the one where Loki had Thor dress in drag to get into a Jotun party. IIRC he's challenged to empty a drinking horn that's connected to the ocean (and may be the reason we have tides), and to wrestle a frail old woman who turns out to be the personification of old age. I forget the details of the eating contest and lifting the cat.

Magic Hate Ball posted:He shoved a ham up his rear end. Best shot of the movie. They reveal the secrets in the second clip, but Loki's opponent is the embodiment of fire, and the cat is actually the Midgard serpent, or Jörmungand. Renoistic fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Dec 6, 2017 |

It's be neat if Thor gets a new weapon which has a look that echoes the traditional hammer a bit.

It would be cool if Thor got a sword because you can do spins and parries and dual wields and those are way cooler than a hammer.

I used to love the waiting room at the doctor's surgery when I was a kid, because it had a fantastically illustrated book with this story in it. It also ripped off Little Red Riding Hood when the giants are nitpicking her appearance, and asking why she's eating so much and drinking whole casks of ale. "Oh...she fasted for weeks after hearing about the wedding, she's just really hungry"
