Thor 091: Where Were Agent Coulson & His Agents During the Battle?

<h2>Minute Ninety-One: From Coulson’s Cheeky Check-In to Heimdall’s Icy Struggle</h2> <p>Joining us to discuss Thor, Jane, Agent Coulson, Loki, Laufey, Heimdall, and more are James Anderson and Colin M. Parker from the Timeline Scavengers podcast!</p> <h3>In the ninety-first minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>It’s Agent Coulson!

Or is Loki magically concealing them?</li> <li>And why does Laufey leave two sentries to stand guard with the frozen Heimdall?</li></ul> <p>It’s a busy minute as the climactic act three kicks into high gear, and Jame
