Throwback Thorsday Most Memorable Scene: The Revengers vs Hela's Army (Thor: Ragnarok)

I love Thor: Ragnarok it was such an unexpected cinematic adventure from the beginning to the end. And I also love this scene with Heimdall, Korg and The Revengers (Thor, Loki, Valkyrie and Hulk) fighting Hela's army to stop Hela and rescue the Asgardians.

In the first Thor movie, Thor was so arrogant and thought he was all powerful compared with how he doubted himself and his powers in the third movie trying to stop his sister Hela. But once he realized his strength, he was able to draw upon his full powers which was visually stunning. I would have loved to have seen another movie with The Revengers they were an interesting team.

Loki and What We Do in the Shadows: Why Do Shows Continue to Queerbait?

I can now add Loki and What We Do in the Shadows to the ever growing queerbaiting list. Both shows intentionally played up the relationships between the two same sex characters (Loki and Mobius and Nandor the Relentless and Guillermo de la Cruz) then turn it around and make it seem as if fans and viewers were misinterpreting the shows.

And in the case of What We Do in the Shadows, they claim there is a power imbalance and it's problematic since Nandor is Guillermo's boss. There is no imbalance because Guillermo is a vampire slayer and can totally take care of himself.

Throwback Thursday: Thor, Loki, Sif and The Warriors Three vs The Frost Giants

Happy Thursday!

I can't remember the last time I watched Thor, it's one of my favorite movie. And Sir Kenneth Charles Branagh really brought all the Shakespearean drama to this movie that's for sure.

As for this scene, I love this fight against the Frost Giants. Thor's arrogance and pride made it impossible for him to see that he (along with his brother and friends) went to Jodenheim for all the wrong reasons. It didn't help that Loki manipulated all of this to show that Thor wasn't ready to be King. Which at this point, he truly wasn't because he couldn't let the "Little Princess" insult go and walk away. No, he had to fight which was his real intention for going to Jodenheim in the first place. It didn't matter that his friends were ill prepared for a fight against the Frost Giants, he was going to fight no matter what. With the end result of him being banished to Earth or Midgard with no powers or memory but he did need to learn a lesson.

Trailer: Loki season 2

The trailer for the second season of Loki makes it seem like this will be better than the first season. Although, the first season wasn't bad but at times it didn't feel like Loki was the main character. I really thought the first season could have been better especially with more focus on Loki which is why this new season looks like it's going to be good (at least I hope so).

I am so happy to see Ke Huy Quan in this and to see what his character will do. However, I'm still not sold on Sylvie. There was too much focus on her and at times it felt like she was the main character instead of Loki. It felt like so many of her scenes in the first season could have easily gone to Loki who I thought was supposed to be the main character. Which is how the show was marketed. Anyway, I do hope this second season will make her a more interesting and better written character because so far she's not one of my favorite ones.

Loki season 2 will premiere Friday, October 6th on Disney Plus.

Trailers for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and Loki

Yesterday, Disney announced a lot of new shows and movies and it felt like it was just too much. Do we really need that many Star Wars shows? And I'm saying that as one of the biggest Star Wars fan. I guess Disney's philosophy is More is More.

I'll see how I feel once the hype dies down on all these show but for now there are only two new shows I'm really interested in seeing The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and Loki and they had already been announced awhile ago. After looking at the trailers, both shows look amazing. Loki looks weird and zany and pure madness while The Falcon and The Winter Soldier looks like it's going to be action packed espionage. And I really can't wait to watch both shows.

Loki

Do you think Thor will appear on the Loki TV Series?

I can't wait to watch the Loki TV series whenever it premieres on Disney+ but I was wondering if you think Thor will appear on a episode (or two)? On the show, I know it won't be the Loki that was slowly on his way to redemption but the one at the height of his rage. Which means that if Thor does appear on the show there probably won't be any brotherly bonding happening between them.

I figure Thor has lost so much that if there is a chance for them to have a reunion and to rebuild their relationship, I think having Thor appear on a episode would be the start to making that happen. Of course it wouldn't happen immediately since this Loki is still angry and vindictive but I hope at some point it does. If not on this TV series then perhaps in the upcoming fourth Thor movie, Thor: Love and Thunder.

Fashion Meets Comics: Loki Bracelets

Looking for some fun fashion inspiration? Why not channel your inner God of Mischief with this cute Loki bracelet set. I like it because it's not overly flashy or dramatic but rather lowkey (yeah, I know, no more Loki puns). I like all three bracelets but I do wish one of the braided ones was made with black beads instead.

Regardless, it's still pretty cool.

Why wasn't there a scene like this in Thor: Ragnarok? Thor and Loki were finally sorting through their family issues and a hug would have shown just how much growth and progress these two brothers have gone through. And not to mention it would have been a really heart-warming moment for them.

Everything about these two are complete opposites from their personalities to they way they dress. Loki is total goth in all black while Thor is more laid back like his personality perhaps I will post an actually Fashion Meets Comics for these two about their Midgardian style.

Too bad there wasn't a scene like this in the movie with these two idiots grabbing a snack.

Quote: Thor and Loki (Thor: Ragnarok)

Loki: I swear I left him right here.

Thor: Right here on the sidewalk or right here where the building's being demolished? Great planning!

Loki: How was I supposed to know? I can't see into the future. I'm not a witch!

Thor: No? Then why are you dressed like one?

I love Thor: Ragnarok, that movie was the absolute best. And I can't believe Loki put their father Odin in a retirement home on Earth. It's unbelievable that he just dumped the King of Asgard off in a retirement home just to get him out of the way. Thor looked like he wanted to laugh at the absurdity of the situation while also throttling Loki for leaving their father in some random place on Earth.

I know the Marvel movies so far have not done a great job of acknowledging that there are LGBTQ+ characters in the films but they do include characters such as Loki and Valkyrie in prominent roles. Hopeful one day they won't be afraid to actually openly express it in one of their upcoming movies. 

Thor: Ragnarok: Loki Poster

Thor must be yet again desperate if he needs Loki's help to stop Hela. Loki is so untrustworthy I wouldn't be surprised that he double crosses Thor at some point in Thor: Ragnarok. He's done it plenty of times before but it will be even more surprising if he doesn't.
