* Heimdall's remark to Loki that he isn't dressed warmly enough to visit Jotunheim. Being a {{spoiler|Frost Giant}}, Loki probably isn't all that bothered by the cold. The fact that Heimdall surely knows this while Loki doesn't, makes it funnily ironic (even if Loki doesn't get the joke). After all, wouldn't Heimdall have been there to witness Odin bringing back a baby from Jotunheim? |

* The icons left on the ground wherever Bifrost opens seem kind of strange, and arbitrarily invoke UFO lore. What purpose does the image on the ground have? Then I realized, its ''not'' actually a part of Bifrost's functionality. Rather, its a visual marker left to help Heimdall keep track of where people have been dropped off recently. |

* Why did SHIELD take Darcy's iPod? Not because it just happened to be with all the other stuff, but because ''it had a picture of Thor on it!'' |

* During their battle, Loki makes a threat that he plans to go and "pay [Jane] a visit" just to tick off Thor. Well, at the end of movie, Loki's the one who's on Earth, and Thor isn't . . . |

** Loki was trying to goad Thor into fighting at that point. It's much more likely that it was just an idle threat to piss Thor off, and he didn't actually ''mean'' it. This version of Loki isn't a mustache twirling villain who's going to do something like that [[For the Evulz]]. |
