Thor 014: Is This All a Part of Loki’s Plan?

<h2>Minute Fourteen: From Manipulation to Madness</h2> <p>Ashley Coffin from the MCU Podcast is joining us this week as the Warriors Three and Lady Sif join Thor and Loki. Check her and her shows out at the links below!</p> <h3>In the fourteenth minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>Loki sits and listens to Thor. Eventually, he <em>finally</em> speaks. He tells Thor he’s right and that Daddy’s wrong. He’s also concerned the frost giants might be coming through with an army soon. That leads to Thor getting riled up. Now, he is ready to ride to Jotunheim.</li> <li>That's when Loki tries to make it clear that he didn’t want this, but we really know he did. Damn, he’s good.</li> <li>And how many times has Loki sat through Thor’s tantrums?</li> <li>But is it weird Thor calls his coronation day his ‘day of triumph’? Like it’s some victory to be won?</li></ul> <h3>Forget about all that! It's the Warriors Three and Lady Sif!</h3> <ul><li>So the Warriors Three arrive with Lady Sif. They seem surprised by the upset table, Volstagg in particular. And this is the same entrance we saw in the extended scene last minute.</li> <li>So why does Volstagg have to be played for the jolly fat man jokes? We get it – it’s in the comics. We just don’t like it. Perhaps that’s why they were all thinned out so much. They’re not that great.</li> <li>Because of their arrival, Loki gets conspiratorial with Thor. Sif watches with suspicion.</li> <li>Outside of that, have we mentioned how much we love the production design?</li> <li>Apparently, the Warriors Three and Sif can’t really hear what’s being said. They all just watch like creepers. In fact, it’s not until Loki says "It’s madness" that it piques Volstagg's curiosity: “What sort of madness?” And that's when Thor reveals they’re going to Jotunheim.</li></ul> <h3>Wait... Fandral is here? We almost forgot he was one of the Warriors Three.</h3> <ul><li>Fandral says it’s serious – it’s not just a fun tri
