Indeed, the two brothers save each other’s lives and share a tender moment of reconciliation … that will last at least until the next Thor movie comes out. So he cautiously brings the guy aboard-and Loki doesn’t disappoint. While Thor knows Loki can’t be trusted, Thor’s scheme won’t work without him. But their best efforts won’t be enough to stop Malekith, so Thor turns to an unlikely ally: His duplicitous brother. All the participants understand that they are, in essence, sacrificing themselves for a greater good. are all willing to accept the consequences-exile if successful and death should they fail. Granted, this means defying a direct order from Odin, Thor’s father and king, but Thor and Co. And Thor will do whatever he can to keep all of our stuff-or at least most of it-safe and sound.įirst, Thor and his colleagues try to set up the climactic showdown with Malekith on an uninhabited world, thus keeping innocent casualties down. To paraphrase another great superhero (The Tick), the universe is where we keep all our stuff. Thor won’t let Malekith destroy the universe without a fight, of course. He and his cohorts think the whole of creation was a mighty negative development, and they’d like to get back to the good old days when things were cold and dark and empty. Malekith, you see, hails from a time before the universe as we know it was around. For thousands of years, he and his elvish hordes have been napping, waiting for the perfect moment to use the Aether to destroy the entire universe. Malekith, an evil elf and old foe of Thor’s grandpappy, has been waiting for an opportunity to get his hands on-and weaponize-the Aether. Moreover, Aether is indestructible: Jane’s carrying a disease that even Thor’s mighty hammer can’t cure.Īnd the bad news gets worse. She’s been infected, it would seem, by some sort of cosmic gunk called Aether-a substance that threatens both Jane’s life and the lives of those around her.

Maybe the big guy will have time for a little rest and relaxation-a short vacay down on Earth where he can hang out with his main squeeze Jane Foster and, I dunno, go to Cracker Barrel or something.īut wait, what’s this? Jane is not feeling quite herself right now. But Thor and his friends now have things well in hand. His adopted brother, Loki, if you remember, nearly destroyed Earth-twice-and the resulting chaos caused some serious indigestion in the Nine Realms. He’s had to make a lot of house calls lately. He knocks out feverish skirmishes, douses chill-producing plots and does what he can to help nice, law-abiding people get back on their feet.Īnd he doesn’t even ask folks to go online to sign up for coverage. If a planet suffers from, say, an infection of interlopers or a rash of rebellion, he’ll personally beat down the troublemakers like a scruffy blond antibody. Thor is all about delivering quality universal health care.Īs a prince of Asgard and guardian of the Nine Realms, he zips around the cosmos like a fish in the sea, and naturally he cares about his subjects’ health and wellness.
