1. | Let's start with the simple stuff. What race of people's collective asses did Odin kick back in the day? | ||
Dark Elves | |||
Frost Giants | |||
Hill Giants | |||
Hobbits...because God knows those little punks deserve it. | |||
2. | Thor swings a massive hammer, and I am not making a sex joke right now. Demonstrate your knowledge of either this movie, the Thor comic or basic Norse mythology by providing the name of the giant hammer. | ||
Grendel | |||
Jormungand | |||
Mjolnir | |||
Sledge | |||
By way of explanation.....
Grendel isn't Norse, Jormungand is a serpent and Sledge is...a forgotten ABC tv show character. |
|||
3. | What did Odin lose in the Frost Giant (did you get it right?) War? | ||
His eye | |||
His ring finger | |||
His left hand | |||
Mjolnir | |||
By way of explanation.....
Even Anthony Hopkins looks cooler with an eye patch. |
|||
4. | Papa don't preach. Hey, who is the birth father of Loki? | ||
Laufey | |||
Odin | |||
Thor | |||
Virgin birth | |||
By way of explanation.....
I fully expect Thor to be revealed as his real, *real* father in Thor 1500. |
|||
5. | That glowing blue rectangular object that Odin keeps locked in the basement has a name. What is it? | ||
Casket of Ancient Winters | |||
Laufenbrau | |||
Odin's brew | |||
The Destroyer | |||
By way of explanation.....
The Destroyer is neither blue nor rectangular. Laufenbrau and Odin's Brew may be the beverage of choice for Vikings everywhere, but they are not correct answers. |
|||
6. | What stops the coronation of Thor as the next ruler of Asgard? | ||
Frost Giant invasion! | |||
Loki has created an illusion of the entire cermony. | |||
Odin determines Thor unworthy of the crown. | |||
Thor declares himself unworthy of the crown. | |||
By way of explanation.....
When Frost Giants Attack! sounds like a Fox TV show. |
|||
7. | What is the name of that giant thing that shoots laser beams from its eyes and kills the invading Frost Giants? | ||
Asgard's Curse | |||
Destroyer | |||
Dominator | |||
Eternal Warrior | |||
By way of explanation.....
The other names are all potential wrestling nicknames and/or new comic book characters. The two premises are never that far apart. |
|||
8. | There are apparently only two women who matter in Asgard. Odin's wife is one. What is the name of the other, a childhood friend of Thor? | ||
Fandral | |||
Hogun | |||
Sif | |||
Volstagg | |||
By way of explanation.....
Sif is the only woman among the three options. The other three are incompetent drunks, at least in the comics. |
|||
9. | Who is the all-seeing gatekeeper of Asgard? | ||
Fandral | |||
Heimdall | |||
Hogun | |||
Volstagg | |||
10. | Thor goes against his father's word on something major that leads to his banishment from Asgard. What is it? | ||
He breaks the Casket of Ancient Winters | |||
He invades the Frost Giant home world. | |||
In the royal basement, he slays an innocent Frost Giant. | |||
Thor takes Jane Foster's virtue. | |||
By way of explanation.....
The way we know Thor is crazy is that he considers five against thousands good odds. |
|||
11. | Finish the quote: "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy..." | ||
"May bring an eternal end to wars." | |||
"May rule Asgard as I, the Allfather, have done." | |||
"Shall possess the power of Thor." | |||
"Shall smite the wicked and bring justice across the 9 realms." | |||
By way of explanation.....
Thor Power sounds like a Nerd Rock band. |
|||
12. | Why are astrophysicist Jane Foster, her mentor and her intern having a bad night at the start *and* 30 minutes into the movie? | ||
Their prior research is flawed. | |||
Their projected location for the next sighting is wrong. | |||
Their SUV struck a pedestrian. Hard. | |||
Thor is wearing a shirt. | |||
By way of explanation.....
Women may be obsessed with shirtless Thor, but he is wearing one when he gets struck by a car. |
|||
13. | In the middle of a fight between Loki and Odin, what happens? | ||
Loki banishes Odin to another realm | |||
Odin banishes Loki to another realm | |||
Odin collapses into Odinsleep. | |||
While they argue, Mjolnir disappears. | |||
By way of explanation.....
Presumably, Thor was being coronated because Odin was in need of this recuperation period. |
|||
14. | One of the two pictures Jane and her co-workers manage to take during the astrological event shows what? | ||
A body moving through the wormhole | |||
Asgard | |||
Bifrost's Bridge | |||
Jotunheim, the Frost Giant homeworld | |||
By way of explanation.....
Confession: I missed this the first time I watched the movie. So, if you didn't get this one right after a single viewing, we are in the same boat. |
|||
15. | What happens the next time Jane and Thor meet? | ||
He breaks her coffee mug. | |||
He insults her research as "the work of a Frost Giant childing".. | |||
She hits him with her car again. | |||
She kisses him but cannot explain why. | |||
By way of explanation.....
This is *not* a Meet Cute story. |
|||
16. | There isn't a lot to do in the New Mexico desert. What becomes the in thing for a lot of dudes in the area? | ||
Attempts to dislodge Mjolnir from its crater. | |||
Pick-up softball games nobody realizes are on top of the SHIELD facility. | |||
Pick-up football games nobody realizes are on top of the SHIELD facility. | |||
What happens at the bathhouse stays at the bathhouse. | |||
By way of explanation.....
I love that they turn it into a tailgating event. This is also when Stan Lee makes his requisite appearance. |
|||
17. | What does Thor attempt to buy at the local pet shop? | ||
A centaur | |||
A dragon | |||
A flying monkey | |||
A horse | |||
By way of explanation.....
Maybe Thor always wanted to be a jockey at the Kentucky Derby. Or its Asgardian equivalent. |
|||
18. | When Thor invades the Mjolnir government facility, Agent Coulson says, "I need eyes up high...with a gun." Who performs this task? | ||
Black Widow | |||
Bullseye | |||
Daredevil | |||
Hawkeye | |||
By way of explanation.....
Hawkeye is the only one of these choices who even appears in the movie. |
|||
19. | What does Hawkeye confess to Agent Coulson about Thor? | ||
I could never take him. | |||
I'm starting to root for this guy. | |||
I'm sure this is the real Thor. I met him once before. | |||
I'm thinking about defecting to his team. | |||
By way of explanation.....
"I'm starting to root for this guy" is a clever bit of cinematic storytelling. |
|||
20. | What does Loki reveal to Thor? | ||
Asgard fell to the Frost Giants. | |||
"I gleefully betrayed you, brother." | |||
Odin is dead. | |||
"You made our mother cry." | |||
By way of explanation.....
Loki is lying. It's what Loki does. |
|||
21. | Who unexpectedly knocks on the door at Jane's research lab while Thor and the scientists try to enjoy breakfast? | ||
The Abomination | |||
The Destroyer | |||
Loki | |||
Sif and the Warriors Three | |||
By way of explanation.....
Thankfully, Jane doesn't have to feed them because keeping Thor sated is difficult enough. |
|||
22. | What villainous act does Loki perform upon Heimdall? | ||
Assassinates him | |||
Freezes him | |||
Imprisons him | |||
Sends him Earth to join Thor in exile | |||
By way of explanation.....
Loki uses the Casket of Ancient Winters to freeze Heimdall. |
|||
23. | What does Thor offer Loki via the Destroyer? | ||
A haircut. | |||
Thor offers to sacrifice his life instead of those of his friends | |||
Loyal and fealty | |||
Renouncement of his claim to the throne of Asgard | |||
24. | How does the newly re-powered Thor defeat the Destroyer? | ||
With Mjolnir | |||
With a wind funnel | |||
With a wind funnel *and* Mjolnir | |||
The Destroyer is never defeated. It powers down when Loki flees. | |||
By way of explanation.....
The wind funnel lifts the Destroyer up then Mjolnir blocks its fiery eye blasts and thereby forces an implosion. |
|||
25. | Who kills Laufey moments before the Frost Giant would have killed Odin? | ||
Heimdall | |||
Loki | |||
Sif | |||
Thor | |||
By way of explanation.....
Loki wants the creature who sired him to know that the Frost Giant died by the hands of a son of Odin. |
