Genuine trivia : They had to recreate Stonehenge as Marvel couldn't get permission to film there. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. It consists of an outer ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet high and weighing around 25 tons. Whilst we still don't know WHY it was built we do know for certain that it was originally called "Blue Harvest".

He is rocking the Avengers 1 era costume and wig tho, so they at least had to put him through hair and wardrobe specifically for the cameo. Probably more like an entire day. But yeah, you're not wrong

[@DomoftheDoctor]

Want to know the real reason for Christopher Eccleston's tour of the States after Doctor Who? Series 1 of Who was a nightmare to film, particularly during the first filming block. This put heavy strain on the cast and crew, and Eccleston ultimately left on principle because he felt the Executives (Russell T Davies included) had not done enough to try and sort things out. However, he did agree with RTD to keep his departure a secret until after the finale had aired, and vowed to protect the show by not talking about its production issues. Unfortunately, his leaving was leaked early in Series 1's run. In a bid to beat the press, the BBC released a hastily-written statement announcing his departure, citing Eccleston's alleged fear of being typecast. Eccleston was NOT consulted on this statement, and feared he wouldn't be hired for other projects because of the presumption that he wouldn't stick around for more than one series. He attempted to sue the BBC for the false statement attributed to him, but this only resulted in him being blacklisted by the corporation, after being effectively blacklisted by everybody else due to said statement. So the series of US films and shows Eccleston hated being a part of was down to not being able to work in his own country, all because the BBC used him as a scapegoat for his own departure from Doctor Who. In the years since, Eccleston has come clean about it as the show isn't in any danger from him talking now, and what evidence there is seems to support his version of events.

*This movie was by far the best when it came to Loki's character.* We see his father be an asshole, his insecurities, his bond with his mother, his ways of coping, the events that lead him to actually growing as a person, and the result of such growth in the very end. Say you want about this film, but (especially including the deleted scenes) it's the most psychologically adult of the Thor films. People don't praise it enough for basically single-handedly carrying all the character development that will then be somewhat stifled in Ragnarok. And being the absolute best Loki film.

[@TheDelinear]

Loki's character development in this is great, but it's a side plot. Meanwhile the main plot, the dark elves being awoken by the revealing of the long lost Aether, they decided the best way to have that happen was to have Jane Foster literally just wander into it in the most random and nonsensically contrived way possible. I wish the Loki stuff was attached to a better movie.

[@jacob4920]

On the contrary, I think Loki's "good guy turn" in Ragnarok was made possible by the resolution of Dark World. Because it's kind of the moment that the two brothers first come to a genuine understanding/affection for each other, instead of hating each others' guts. Ragnarok sort of continues Loki's character evolution from "Villain" to "Mischievous Scamp." An evolution that unfortunately pays off with Loki's untimely death by the hands of Thanos, in Endgame.

[@infjelphabasupporter8416]

@@jacob4920 I agree that Loki becomes a fully "good guy" character in Ragnarok, and it's pretty decently done, but he does seem to regress at some points of the movie for no meaningful reason, and his growth isn't half as significant or taken half as seriously as it is in the Dark World. I do *love* the other parts of Ragnarok, but when it came to Loki's character the Dark World wins by a mile.

[@Maaroussia]

I agree. I don't understand all the hate this movie gets.

[@ANGELOFDARKification]

Loki pretty much saves this movie. This was before Thor was an interesting character. Ragnarok, IW and Endgame made his character a lot better and interesting.

[@jts8053]

Two things everybody misses about this movie: 1) when they complain about Malekith , they don't realize he's the villain, but not the antagonist. He is a threat, but not the challenge. *Odin* is the antagonist. It is Odin's willingness as king to do whatever is necessary to win, whether it's sacrificing soldiers or imprisoning Jane. His actions show Thor what being king requires, and Thor has to face that in himself as heir to the throne. 2) Thor's character does grow and change. Thor has a really interesting development arc in the movies. In the 1st movie, we see him working toward being king, but he lacks humility and compassion. He learns this on earth and grows because of it. By the end of the 2nd film, he's seen what he'd have to do to be a king, and he backs away. He would rather keep his honor and not rule. In Ragnarok, he learns that there is more than one way to sacrifice yourself to protect your people. He accepts the mantle of king even though he personally doesn't want it. Infinity War and Endgame show him that sometimes it's not enough and even when he takes revenge on Thanos, he finds himself without purpose.

The blood tornado thing reminds me of the rejected plan for the final fight in the first Blade movie, where Deacon Frost was going to turn into a blood tornado with Stephen Dorff's head sticking out of it or whatever, but the CGI looked terrible (it being 1998), so they went with what we got.

[@ThreadBomb]

I think they actually did a test showing and found that the audience didn't like the villain being replaced with a CGI blood tornado for the big fight.

The thing about Malekith is that in the comics, he’s usually depicted as charismatic and witty who revels in what ever evil plan he’s putting Thor through, almost always smiling in every panel he’s in. But the problem with that is, he’s too close to Loki in both stature and demeanour. My guess is, this is why they changed his character to be the silent, intimidating type, as to not conflict with Loki. However, by doing that, they got rid of a core aspect that makes him entertaining. Malekith is one of Thors most interesting characters and the movie didn’t do him justice.

The first Thor film was great, but one thing which never sits right with me about the sequel is the way its messaging on othering (via the Dark Elves and Malekith) feels so contrary to the themes of Thor 1. Remember this film came out on 2013 - it feels like TDW is telling us 'you're right to worry about the aliens, they DO all want to sneak through your borders and blow up your cities'. Compare this to the wayy more nuanced treatment of Frost Giants in Thor 1 and it's a big step backwards.

[@cngotham4111]

Well that's a reach of course there's evil aliens that want to blow up your building just as there's good ones. Doesn't need to be political.

[@MaxWelton]

13:50 I mean, yea, but only in Thor’s Age of Ultron foreshadowing bath.

[@billfallgravity568]

You guys thought of K.E.V.I.N. first!

[@jasoncrane]

Best Blue Harvest appearance thus far, IMO. These videos are so fab.

[@2010joshcurtis]

Thank you for the informative Green Trivia! I had forgotten that information from last weeks video!

[@TheSchaef47]

Kevin Fiege 2013: this is the Empire Strikes Back of Thor movies, the dark chapter. 2017: Odin dies, most of Thor's mates die, Asgard is utterly destroyed, and only a few hundred of his people escape alive. Then they are immediately overtaken by Thanos' ship.

[@BSRJR]

I've always said this is the best He-Man movie ever made.

[@Hyrulistic]

2:57 "The crashed Elf space ship, they built that for real" This is the dedication of Marvel, inventing interstellar travel... for a popcorn movie about long blonde hammer bro, handy trickster, and naked doctor of Rocktownsville All to be ranked the worst movie ever 😭

[@leparkin]

This is the movie I went took my first date on, she showed up late, kicked over my popcorn when she arrived and then left the building the second the movie was over. Still a better experience than actually just watching Thor: The Dark World.

[@okamiwolf250]

Lol great story

[@jacob4920]

I had a girlfriend use me just to get into a Yankees ballgame once. She was hitting on me right up until the ninth inning, and then she just suddenly turned cold, as soon as the last out was recorded, and left me by simply saying: "You know... this isn't working... sorry." And then she walked away without even a glance back at me. I still take that memory very personally. If I ever see that woman again, I swear I will have some kind of vengeance! lol

[@JLB0880]

I hope your love life has improved since then.

"I would put a balloon in it to make it lighter but I bet they didn't." Why is that so damn funny to me? 😭😂😭

[@Emma-ex8gx]

I loved this film when it came out because I was a teenager with a massive crush on loki, and then I realised it wasn't that great a few years later. I rewatched it yesterday and it really isn't as bad as people say, the villains motivations was lacking but the film was entertaining enough.

[@MaxWelton]

4:16 LOL Kevin IS an algorithm trained on the previous MCU

[@TraeDavis623]

After rewatching this movie in anticipation of this video coming out, it wasn’t as bad as I remembered it being. It’s mid, but it’s not actually BAD tbh

[@nickfelesina5102]

The Byron Bay reference was so accurate it’s crazy

[@spawnmovies]

The reason the films came out so fast is due to a lot of legal holdings, and the Disney acquisition. Marvel was literally making all the films at the same time, so a lot of issues were solved there in the moment or left open enough for a later film to correct. A prime example is Brie Larson technically filmed Endgame BEFORE Captain Marvel. The source is... "The Story of Marvel" Book, it was very very insightful on many potential "issues" and missing pieces.

[@AnthologyOfDave]

Are you guys gay? Not a diss, I just wish I had a best friend that I had such a fun time hanging out with? You guys are hilarious and the back and forth always cracks me up. I don't know any couples married or not that are as fun to hang out with.

[@zom8680]

This movie did something positive for the MCU though. First, it showed us the first instance of really gory deaths with those dark gravity grenades. Second, it officially kicked off the Infinity Stone naming game by name dropping them in the post credits

Same. You don't always need big changes. Sometimes you just want to see your hero kick some righteous ass.

I watched this at the theatres. I genuinely can't remember a single thing from this movie apart from Stellan Skarsgard's character going insane and running butt naked in public.

[@chrisw6164]

I really liked the ending, but they never did anything with it.

[@jackdubz4247]

The same can be true of 90% of Marvel Studios' output - nice ending, shame they didn't do anything with it.

[@Tobiwanz]

I did _not_ expect to see a scene cut directly from Bruiser in the middle of this. 10/10 editing.

[@AdorkableAudio]

Maybe I’m in the minority but I actually really like this film…

Yeah! I like all the Thors

"Maybe" ??

When Thor tries to destroy it, it literally shattered like a gem.

[@samuraicupcake289]

Eternals has really cool characters and an unexpected twist. I watched this movie twice and still can't remember anything about it...to be fair I fell asleep on the rewatch.

[@skaterkid7able]

I love the running gag of repeating the "Star Wars original title" trivia 😂😂

[@uriahfindley6231]

Blue Harvest was Return of The Jedi's working title. It was to try to keep the local area from knowing they were making a Star Wars movie, because they were getting price gouged when people found out.

[@anubusx]

Revenge Of The Jedi as well.

[@scarletspidernz]

Still can't believe they never called it Thor 2: Electric Boogaloo, He's the god of Thunder, them lightening powers!! I like to believe they got Taika in an alternative universe to direct Thor 2 and he for sure went with Electric Boogaloo

[@patrickkilduff5272]

Its better then Thor Love and Thunder...by a mile
