Phil has some of the best lines of dialogue! He's SO funny.

[@RedmoonIndustries]

I am 99% certain that Kat Denning saw 'Mjolnir' in the script and didn't have a clue on how to pronounce it. So she just waited until Thor says it, and then just ad-lib'd in "Meow Meow" in the moment. And they kept it in the movie. I think it's awesome that you pronounce it that way!

[@chrispittman8854]

Getting a T with a picture of 'Mjolnir' and "Meow-Meow" in quotes.

[@reactswithjax]

I loved that she didn't pronounce it right. That's so congruent with her character!

[@PhilBagels]

@@reactswithjax It's not that hard, really. Think "myole-near". Like "mole near", but with a 'y' after the 'm'. That gets you pretty close, probably close enough. If you want to be even more accurate, the 'o' is really more like "eur", with one of those weird French vowel sounds, like in the word "milieu". And the "near" part is shortened slightly, more like "nir". "Mjolnir", with two dots over the 'o'. The 'j' is pronounced like a 'y'. As in "jotun" - frost giant. Or Johann. Or hallelujah.

[@Belnick6666]

well, americans have hard time with Å Ä Ö, so no wonder they cant say Mjölner

[@richardb6260]

In the early Thor comics, Donald Blake was a human who found Thor's hammer and became Thor. So, it's fitting that Thor is wearing Donald Blake's clothes.

[@HarborKat]

Didn’t he go by “Thunderstrike” ?

[@richardb6260]

@@HarborKat that was Erik Masterson, who was much later. In the very first Thor story, Dr. Donald Blake, who was a skinny guy with a limp, finds a cane-like stick and when he smacks it on the ground, he becomes Thor. Kind of a Billy Batson Shazam situation. After a while, that became confusing when it was apparent that Thor was clearly a real person and not just some identity that Blake becomes. So, they retconned Blake into actually being Thor. Turns out Odin made him a weak human with no memory of being Thor when he bannished him. After a while, Thor stopped changing back to Donald Blake and just stayed Thor all the time.

[@MGower4465]

I hope Thor got Donald's consent before wearing his clothes. Otherwise, awkward! 😂

[@reactswithjax]

That's such a great backstory! I love that they incorporated a Donald Blake reference in this movie.

[@OneVoiceMore]

@@reactswithjax Thor was somewhat inspired by, and inspiring to, heroes with a fast-change gimmick, like SHAZAM. Don Blake would strike the ground with his walking stick, and instantly was replaced by Thor. Additionally if he let the hammer go for more than 60 seconds, he would turn back into Blake.

[@crazitalk]

Mjölnir, or Mjolnir, would be pronounced ˈmjɔːlnɪər or Myaul-near. Eric's pronunciation is probably the most accurate as Stellan Skarsgård is Swedish. Darcy continues to pronounce it as Mew Mew or Meow Meow. I remember plenty of books as a child that retold the stories of the Æsir of Asgard.

[@Caseytify]

I would spell it myole-neer.

[@crazitalk]

@@Caseytify I can understand that, my understanding is the ö in Mjölnir is pronounced with an "au" sound as in "caught" or "maul" as opposed to an "o" sound, that's why I went with "myaul".

[@jeffreyjeziorski1480]

Beware the mighty hammer Meow Meow!!!!

[@testfire3000]

The first tip to pronouncing Mjölnir is to remember this word is Scandinavian. When a J follows a consonant, you pronounce it as a Y. Think of the Icelandic singer Bjork.

Honestly I find this movie to be criminally underrated in the MCU. It's so great from the world building and I love Thor's arc of being a selfish prince getting exiled to the middle of nowhere. And at the end he decides to make the personal sacrifice realizing that he could never see Jane again but knowing this is what he has to do. It's a shame the other Thor movies were never able to build upon this first one but I absolutely love this movie. It's not my favorite in the MCU but it's a little gem I wish got more love.

[@tonzyjc]

I agree. Very underrated

Thor is my mom’s fave Avenger. I showed her this reaction video and she’s obsessed with Lamby. Where did you get it? She recently had a stroke and I’m trying to find stuff to help her cheer up. Loki is one of the best written characters in the MCU. He’s more complex than Obidah from Iron Man. To see the MCU movies for the first time again would be great.

[@reactswithjax]

Hi! I'm so sorry that your mom had a stroke. What a scary thing to go through. How wonderful that she loves Lamby. I got him in Ireland a while back. But, I've seen similar looking lamb stuffed animals online. ❤️

[@Gibberwocky]

My thoughts on "worthy". It's not simply valor, or humility, or kindness, or purity of intent. If it was that simple, Cap would have been able to lift the hammer on his first try. Worthiness, in the context of Odin's geas, means all of the above plus the wisdom of a king. A king puts their people first, always. If it comes down to a contest between ego and the good of their people, the true king always sets aside their ego. Steve Rogers showed that wisdom when he pretended to be a Hydra agent in Endgame. He could have KO'd the entire lift full of men and taken the Stone, but he swallowed his pride, put his ego aside, and smiled at people who were his enemies, pretending to be the thing he hated most for the good of the world. That's why, next time he tried, Mjolnir found him worthy. Vision, the other 'worthy' Avenger, is a sentient able to set aside their ego for what they calculate to be the common good. That's why he was able to lift the hammer moments after being 'born'. I'm curious if, after experiencing love and life for awhile, and developing a stronger sense of self he would still be able to lift Mjolnir.

Thor’s hammer is pronounced (Me-Yoll-Near). The Red Skull said “the Tesseract was once the jewel of Odin’s treasure room.” Great reactions today. I think you’ll like the Avengers movie. Looking forward to that video.

[@reactswithjax]

I missed that the Red Skull said that! Thank you!

[@rajahkossuth]

Watching you watch these MCU movies takes me back to when we all watched them first. I also have to thank you for saying the correct (IMO) pronouncing of Thor's hammer. For over 30 years, this is how I pronounced its name in my head when I read it from the comics!!❤❤❤😂😂

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

If you recall Red Skull referenced the tesseract as a jewel of Odin's treasure room. The Tesseract is a source of great power not just the power of the Gods. Also when Red Skull held it he didn't really "die" . . . it appeared to generate something very similar to the Bifrost . . . . . Oh boy I can't wait for you to move through this saga! I absolutely love your authentic glee in experiencing these stories!

[@reactswithjax]

7:21 "Thor is reminding me a little bit of Tony Stark. At the top of his game. Thinks a little too highly of himself. Maybe he has good reason to think highly of himself, but this'll be a fun journey watching him evolve." Oh honey. Just wait until you get to Doctor Strange. Also just to answer a quick question you had, Thor and Loki are 1,500 years old. Odin is 5,000 years old. Lastly, I just wanna say that I am absolutely ecstatic about how much you're paying close attention to the big picture and trying to link everything together from previous movies. All the talking points you mentioned after the post-credits scene about the origins of the Tesseract to Red Skull trying to use it to harness the power of the gods to Howard Stark eventually finding it and being a founding member of SHIELD are the exact type of things you wanna keep in mind while going down this MCU journey. And remember that you're only just starting! There's still over ten more years of the MCU that you haven't even seen yet! It's a hell of a fun ride!

[@BogeyTheBear]

7:05 Actually, some do (not in the way you might assume). The samurai, for example, will embrace the inevitability of death as a way to banish any fear-- because _Fear is actually Hope placed in conflict with the danger of the situation._ A man who is truly without fear is a man who has given up their hope-- which is something to be pitied rather than aspired.

[@mt2345t]

Loving the cap look Jax

[@jamespfp]

44:40 -- RE: Saying the Name of the Hammer; Fun Fact! English shares a heck of a lot of common ancestry with languages other than Latin or Gaelic, including Norse and Germanic ones. That's why we have at least half of the days of our week referencing Norse gods: Thorsday, Frigsday, and Wednesday AKA Odin's Day.The O sound in Odin has become identified with the letter W to make clear how to pronounce it. O cognate with Owe. So, here's some basic tips for knowing what to do when you read letters that have inflections like an umlaut (double dot) on them. The ö sound means more like look than Loki. The J is half silent, a Y sound as with Fjord, or Bjorn. So It's Mjool-nir, and the Nir part doesn't require you show your teeth when you make the I sound.

[@tommc4916]

The blue boxy thing is "The Casket of Ancient Winters" in the comics. It was broken open in 1983 or so and plunged the entire world into a horrifically deep winter. Most of the heroes in the Marvel Universe had to cooperate to find the pieces and reassemble it, and to fight off the strengthened Frost Giants who took advantage of the situation. IIRC, it was Spider-Man and the Human Torch (from the Fantastic Four) who eventually got it reassembled and closed. It is very cold to the touch, which is probably part of the reason it briefly turned Loki blue in this film.

[@THEREALSCRAPPY]

Didn't Loki turn blue briefly because of him being unaffected by the Frost Giants' cold touch, due to his heritage?

[@tommc4916]

@@THEREALSCRAPPY Yes, in this film. But I don't recall him ever coming into contact with it in print continuity. All three of the Thor films borrow heavily from the Walt Simonsen writing/art era of about 40 years ago, but the MCU scriptwriters throw enough change-ups to keep even us olden-time fanbois guessing. In the comics, it was accidentally broken open when the Dark Elf king Malekith (cf: Thor, The Dark World) was fooling around with it. The Asgardians didn't ever have it in their possession. IIRC.

Ohhh don’t forget the RedSkull also referred to the Tesseract as “the jewel of Orin’s Treasure room.” We saw the treasure room in this movie. So the question is “how did it get to earth?” Don’t be harsh on yourself. I always recommend watching Captain America 1 first when watching the movies. Then in release order the first time. As it helps you understand how Tony is the way he is, why the Tesseract in the end credit scene is so important, and you know how it got in the hands of Shield. Sorry.

[@NealMarchuk]

Another lovely video! It's great to see that you're brave enough to be making predictions -- and a joy to see when you're proven right. Congratulations on figuring out that the Tesseract was in Fury's case. Even having watched "Captain America" first, that wasn't necessarily an easy guess to make. And you're right that outer space and other worlds are going to play a BIG part in the MCU moving forward. But the Nine Realms aren't the totality of space; they don't even include all inhabited worlds. Those are just the planets that are under Odin's protectorate. More will be revealed before long! Since others have explained about Mjolnir, I'll offer a few notes about the Bifrost. Ancient Norse people seemed to believe that the rainbow was a bridge between Midgard (Earth) and Asgard (the gods' realm). That's why it's so beautifully coloured in the movie -- as Thor said, it's the Rainbow Bridge. Also, Jane identifies it with an Einstein-Rosen bridge, which is a kind of wormhole -- theoretically a gateway allowing swift travel between distant points in space.

[@reactswithjax]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the reaction! I was SO excited when I predicted the Tesseract was in Fury's case. I take it as a sign that I am finally starting to understand the MCU. That makes so much sense that the 9 realms are what Thor knows of, but that there is more to it than that. I can't wait to see more of this universe. I love that the Rainbow Bridge has roots in Norse mythology! Thanks for sharing that! ❤️

Since you're so easily distracted by food (the pie did look tasty) and also a fan of romantic fantasy like "Once Upon a Time" I *highly* recommend checking out the brilliant but short-lived (only two seasons) series "Pushing Daises". It's hilarious- I think you'll get a real kick out of that show! FYI it's a spin-off of the series "Dead Like Me", which is more of a dark comedy. Both are excellent, so I suggest adding them to your list of things to react to- or your polls where Patreon peeps can vote for things to watch ;)

Loved both of those shows, especially Pushing Daisies - I never knew PD was a spin off!

[@grumpy_older_man]

I have both sets on DVD on my bookshelf. Loved watching them, but never made the connection between them.

[@neospock5034]

@@grumpy_older_man the spinoff status is unofficial, but I read PD was originally pitched as an episode of DLM... There was going to be an episode where the Reapers couldn't do their jobs because Ned had shown up and done his thing.

[@reactswithjax]

I never knew those two shows were connected! I've actually seen both and they were so good! There's a restaurant near where I live called The Pie Hole, just like Ned's in PD, and it's delicious.

Two possibly interesting facts: 1. In historical Norse mythology. Loki is actually Odin's "blood brother" - they ritually cut themselves and mingle their blood, so they are considered related, even though they aren't really. Sif is actually Thor's wife, and has golden hair, not black - it's literally made of gold. Heimdall does not have the power to see everything, but Odin does, when he sits on his "All-Seeing Throne". The "Warriors Three" those three sidekicks of Thor's, were made up for the comic book, and don't actually exist in historical mythology. They are loosely based on characters from Shakespeare's Henry V. Loki, like many of the frost giants ("jotuns"), has powers of illusion. There are many other Norse gods that are included in the Thor comic books, but not in the movies (at least so far). 2. The tesseract was originally called the "cosmic cube" in the comic books, but "tesseract" is a much cooler name. And it actually means something - it's not just a made-up word. A tesseract is the four-dimensional analog of a cube. Going up in dimensions: a square is two-dimensional, a cube is three-dimensional, and a tesseract is four-dimensional. Five and higher dimensional cubes don't have their own special names, and are just called hypercubes. A tesseract can be called a "four-dimensional hypercube", or it can be shortened to "four-cube".

[@reactswithjax]

Wow! That's awesome backstory! Thank you for sharing that. The Shakespearian influence really shined through in the way the Asgardians spoke. That's so cool that the Tesseract actually means something. I can't wait to see what it actually is!

@33:14 “Killer robot from space destroyed business” has a better B-movie-type ring to it.

[@susanesquer1520]

Jamie Alexander as Lady Sif was an awesome performance! She needs her own show! In the Thor comics, Lady Sif is a supreme badass warrior!

[@RowdyJ]

Seeing Josh Dallas in Thor made me want to watch Once Upon A Time. Really good show.

[@Paul-br]

Great start to the weekend!

[@reactswithjax]

So glad you enjoyed the reaction!!

If you watch the end credits during the zooming through space, you can actually see the Yggdrasil tree. The camera zooms out then zooms in and ascend it from the roots to the highest branches.

[@OnnoS]

Oh I am DESPERATE to watch the full length Avengers movie with your reaction, rather than just an edit. I hope you're saving the full video files in case you change your mind about starting a Patreon later on!

[@reactswithjax]

I'm so glad you like the reactions enough to want to watch full length versions of them! I don't know if or when I'll create a Patreon, but I have just started saving my full length reactions ❤

[@mattvanlandingham6546]

First LOVE your content! 😍An something I think a lot of people overlook is that without that moment when Loke told Thor "Father is dead" Thor my never have changed. It is in that moment when he is told he can never come home and he is truly broken, that he is able to really change as a person. So I don't think Loke knows he is the reason Thor is worthy. P.S. Has anyone ever told you that you look EXACTLY like Jessica Biel ❤

[@reactswithjax]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the reaction! I agree that Loki's conversation with Thor changed him for the better. Although, I'm sure Loki would hate to think that he had any positive impact on his brother becoming worthy. ❤ And thank you, Jessica Biel is a lovely lady!

[@unholydriver4987]

You are a very entertaining person to watch. I'm new to your channel, but the references you come up with surprise me sometimes. Also, I enjoy the inserted references (whether that's also you, or you have an editor). You seem like a very sweet lady as well, and obviously pretty damned cute. It might take me a while to get used to "Lamby", but I look forward to seeing more reactions. "Myol-nyeer"

[@todderickson2435]

It's a simple process: I see Reacts With Jax and an MCU movie, I click "like"....and then I watch it. 😁 You have now finished the origin movies of "the big three" Avengers (Cap, Iron Man, Thor), and I think all three were close to perfection. The three of them have a great scene in the early moments of The Avengers that ends with an iconic visual; I know you'll love it. Your reactions continue to be absolutely delightful, your insights on the characters and the expanding MCU are spot-on, and your meme game (especially The Office) continues to be top tier. Also, you shared a universal truth: if there's a bonfire, there have to be s'mores. 😋 For those of you who have never tried a s'more with a Reese's peanut butter cup in place of the chocolate, it will change your life. Thanks Jax! (And Lambie.) I cannot wait for your Avengers reaction!! 😊

[@reactswithjax]

Thank you so much!! ❤️🎉 I'm so glad you are enjoying my MCU reactions. I'm having such a blast watching them. And I agree that s'mores are necessary with a bonfire! I've never tried a Reese's peanut butter cup with them though 😍 I can't wait to share The Avengers with you!!

[@dezzconnor8360]

9:40 "I would love that power!" Probably why you shouldn't have it. (Just like me with shapeshifting or telekinesis....I would enjoy it far too much.) Your Ollivander wand, eh? What spell(s) would you use? I love watching your reactions, it's great seeing you make connections and draw deeper meanings to what you see, or just pop off with a smart-arse comment. Please keep them coming.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Mjolnir pronunciation: MYOL-neer :-)

[@reactswithjax]

THANK YOU!!!! ❤️🎉🐑😍

[@macrochelys]

the hammer is called Johnathan

[@mikedignum1868]

The argument "Vain, Cruel Boy" between Thors and Odin was unscripted by Sir Anthony...Chris just went with it. Thor is around 5000 years old at this point.

[@reactswithjax]

That scene was incredible! It's amazing that it was unscripted ❤️

[@sarahsisk7298]

It was the eyebrow raise when he kissed Jane’s hand for me lol you were 💯 invested 😂😂😂 no judgement here Chris Hemsworth is gorgeous ✨

[@jerimiahsmedley3722]

First, I want to say you are beautiful and appreciate your natural beauty. I have an affinity for anyone that enjoys Thor comic, movies or Mythology. My childhood was spent in Norway. My Father raised me on Norwegian folk lore. My favorites stories; Soria Moria Castle, the blue belt, the Three Billy-Goats Gruff, and all the adventures of Thor. My favorite cartoon movie was Valhalla. Can't wait to watch all your reactions of Thor movies. My favorite quotes from you on your reactions "He's got some game, flirting with the smart girl by giving her a book." lol. "That pie looked so good." Thanks for the Thor reaction. ME-YOL-NEAR. Just say that fast and there you have it, Mjolnir.

[@spinynorman887]

I love it! Jax is a smartass! "Let's move"..."As opposed to what, standing there forever?" And Mjolnir is pronounced "Myol-near". I was getting worried about you, because you kinda got obsessed with pitch meetings. Stick with movies! And TV! There are some fantastic series you could react to! Off the top of my head, there's "Reacher", "Blindspot", "Jack Ryan" just for starters. But CERTAINLY keep going with the MCU! I can't wait to see you react to Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, and Deadpool!

[@davidkrieger1406]

I absolutely loved your reaction just as great even funnier than the movie ❤😊
