MarinaVlad 12/13/15 6:33 am

Answers:

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.

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..."

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

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.

He breaks her coffee mug.
He insults her research as "the work of a Frost Giant childing"..

She kisses him but cannot explain why.

Attempts to dislodge Mjolnir from its crater.
Pick-up softball games nobody realizes are on top of the SHIELD facility.

By way of explanation.....
Maybe Thor always wanted to be a jockey at the Kentucky Derby. Or its Asgardian equivalent.

Black Widow
Bullseye
Daredevil
