Line 73:
There are Neo Nazi morons and suchlike that tend to like the Norse gods or worship some twisted version of them. Studio execs were worried that these bastards might cling onto the film like a lamprey sucking away at the bottom line. Though i am not going to say this was the only reason why he was cast (he was pretty damn awesome in the part), but I could imagine some studio execs and marketing guys looking over the list of people who want to play the role and did well and said "of these three final guys, lets go with the black guy because he is going to keep those racist morons away".
* The original Norse legends refer to Heimdall as "the whitest of all the gods." I can't imagine that casting Idris Elba was entirely an accident.
* The fact that the casting choice inspired real-life white supremacist groups to protest the movie probably ''helped'' the movie a little bit - [[No Such Thing
== Just like in the comics and mythology, Thor in the movies is indeed in love with and and probably engaged to Sif ==
Line 120:
Notice how similar the interdimensional space Thor passes through is to what Giselle passes through during her own banishment on Midgard.
== [[Doctor Who
Both Gallifrey and Asgard are home to superhuman beings that have a history of helping humans (although only one Gallifryan really has a human-helping history). Both have technology/magic capable of traveling through space (although Time Lords can also travel through time). Also, the enmity between the Time Lords and the Daleks is similar to the enmity between the Asgardians and the Frost Giants. And it would just be kind of awesome.
Line 127:
== Loki's final, definite [[Face Heel Turn]] could have been prevented had Odin just said something more constructive than "No, Loki." ==
Not to excuse Loki's actions there, but he's one of the best-executed cases of [[Cry for
* This Troper (the one who speculated about Laufey below) is now writing an AU fanfic based on this guess.
== The reason pre-revelation Loki let in a frost giant to “ruin [his] brother’s big day” was because then they could fight it off together and nothing would change between them. ==
Line 181:
Laufey is an experienced warlord, at least as much as Odin. He's obviously experienced in the ways of war. A warlord has to be able to accept losses and casualties, and a bloodthirsty one like Laufey even more so. It would take a kind of special loss to make Laufey willing to engage in a truce, even for a while. The death of your first son, perhaps. Hence his line: "You know not what your actions would unleash. ''([[Beat]])'' ...I do."
Perhaps this is an overly elaborate [[Cry for
** I'll bite. Laufey came off as pretty reasonable to me. Evil, but reasonable, pragmatic, and wanting to do what's best for the jotnar.
Line 201:
