Heimdall may have been Thor’s best friend, but he was also one of the most powerful citizens of Asgard. We last saw him show up during Avengers: Infinity War, where he made some rather questionable decisions. Just how did the all seeing master of the Bifrost Bridge not see Thanos coming and why did he choose to save Bruce Banner instead of Thor or even Loki? We’ll provide a hopefully satisfactory answer to at least one of those questions and talk about which of the Thor movies was actor Idris Elba’s favorite. If you’ve never obsessively read the comic books, you may not have realized the true cost of using “dark magic.”

I was annoyed about Heimdall. Such an epic and powerful fighter and they did not give him the glorious fighting end he deserved. We just saw him lay there and then stabbed.

[@redheadedstepchild9814]

Literally never commented on a KZbin video before, but I have to get this out. Sending Hulk back 100% not a plot hole. Heimdall wasn’t doing it to save someone. Sending Thor or Loki would have been a plot hole. He sent Hulk back to warn the Avengers to protect the stones on Earth. He knew the Avengers would trust Banner, unlike Loki, who they would most likely try to kill on sight. And come on man, he’s not going to separate the King of Asgard from his people as they are being slaughtered! Hulk makes more sense the anyone else. The plot hole, if there has to be one, is why didn’t Heimdall blast Thanos onto some barren rock on the edges of the galaxy with little hope of escape? But that would have been a super boring movie. . . Ok. I feel better now.

[@thelonecyborg3555]

Even if Heimdall sent Thanos somewhere else with his last dark magic the black order would've just kill Heimdall and then use the space stone to bring Thanos back, so no, not a plot hole

Heimdall is one of the coolest Asgardians. I'm a little bummed that he didn't want to continue with the MCU. He brought prestige to their race when there isn't enough actors playing the role that would fit a being from a race more developed than our own, and his armor looked very cool. We need designs like that more often.

[@tylerramsey9502]

He wanted more action. I think we all would've enjoyed seeing more of his powers

One detail about heimdal. In Norse mythology he alone can go toe to toe with Odin and win. He simply chooses to work for Odin rather than just take him out.

[@stephenolan5539]

Another detail. Heimdal was known as the whitest Norse God.

[@bigd7861]

It's not because of Heimdall's strength or skill. It's because he could always see what Odin would do next.

[@matthewthechosenoneflatt1452]

Hakoro 3619 another thing is Loki isn't related to Thor he is actually just a jotunn who's got a blood oath with Odin and Thor isn't a blonde but infact a redhead and and hel is Loki's daughter marvel really screwed with Norse mythology a whole lot and most ppl think that Marvel's interpretation of the Norse gods is accurate and also the God Thor wears a magic belt and metal gauntlets to be able to wield mjolnir

[@bigd7861]

[@samcalven12]

Not true since Heimdall himself isn't an Asgardian. He already had those powers and abilities it is just more amplified while being on Asgard. But on his own he possesses those abilities that's why Odin personally offered him the position as protector of Asgard . Heimdall was nerfed a bit in the movies but in comics he is very powerful that even if there is a war going on in Asgard sometimes he doesn't get involved the situation has to be extremely severe in order for him to get involved.

[@samcalven12]

Heimdall actually has stalemated or bested Odin before.

Good theory on Hulk being traumatized by the Dark Magic Bifrost trip!!!!!

[@andysingh2199]

What if he chose the hulk because THOR ASKED HIM to ...since theY can communicate without speaking

[@schlenderman1589]

I'm pretty sure that Heimdall would know that Dr. Strange would be the best person on earth to send Banner to despite his title as an Avenger, simply because Strange is the only one who'd have any remote idea as to what's going on in the cosmos. If you couple that with what is being said about the Dark Magic, Hulk would be the only chance of getting a message to earth in the time necessary to plan for Thanos.

[@-.-4827]

hulk is the message

[@roninmidori1188]

6:10 I think he saved hulk because he believed Loki could potentially do something to Thanos, either defeat or persuade him to do them no harm. Hulk had already lost to Thanos so he would be 100% sure Hulk was of no use

[@Neuralatrophy]

I DO think that Oden possessed all the infinity stones at one time AND is the original designer of the infinity gauntlet. In Ragnarok, Hela found a gauntlet and noted that it was fake, this was before the infinity war. Thanos either stole the original or had a copy made for his own machinations... imitation is the purest form of flattery.

[@heatherbyrom5940]

I’m assuming since his gift of sight enabled him to foresee events he knew what had to take place to win the battle with Thanos. That regardless if he alerted Thor of the arrival of Thanos or not, Thanos would still get all of the stones. Allowing Thanos to attack the ship and then send off the Hulk, who now is more than fully aware of the power of Thanos, gave the Avengers time to prepare. He pulled a “Dr Strange sacrifice”.

[@heatherbyrom5940]

After watching the rest of the video, he states something similar to this.

[@BoSsCWOM]

thats non sensical. why would he allow the fight to go on and all of their people to die when he could've transported them all away. or why not just tell thor to aim for the head if he can see the future. why didn't loki just use to space stone to teleport them all away like he did in endgame since he knows how to use it apparently. we just have to accept that there are plotholes and leave it at that.

He sent the Hulk and not Loki because the heroes on Earth would trust banner, but defiantly not Loki.

@@Peaky483 Thor took power stone blast [one touch able to destroy a plant] and was absolutely fine.

[@Phireo]

I am pretty sure Heimdall chose to save the Outsider cause it's the most honorable thing to do. Loki and Thor are both Asgardians while Banner/Hulk is an earthling. So, basically, he wasn't part of them and had no responsability fighting for them even though he did so anyway.

[@amitk.512]

Heimdall has came a long way, from a drug lord to the keeper of bifrost. Respect!!!

[@Saimeren]

At the time, the only people we see left alive on the ship are Heimdall, Loki, Thor, and Hulk. Heimdall likely knew that sending Loki to earth wouldn't be the best idea given his history there. We even see him question this at the end of Ragnarok, and Thor assures him it would be fine. Heimdall also likely knew that Thor would want to die giving everything he had in the fight against Thanos. Even if it were one more punch. He wouldn't want to have been whisked away from the fight. He wouldn't ever get over it. So, with that said, he chose to send Hulk back. Someone who knows the Avengers well. Someone who can get the message to the proper people in time. Someone who's actually human and knows that the Avengers can trust and believe him. Could you imagine Tony's reaction if Thor came to Earth and said "Yeah, so.. I was fighting this big purple guy named Thanos.. He has some infinity stones that are super powerful. I wasn't winning the fight because he's just THAT POWERFUL.. So I came here.. He's coming here too.. Surprise!" Tony would be like "Get your Alien ass off my planet and take your Alien ass threats with you."

[@DwadeFL4SHMV3]

You’re made up dialogue between Thor and tony is literally no different than what banner had to say lol. If anything Thor is more knowledgeable and can more greatly explain the threat of thanos. Besides I think Dr strange had all the info anyways but regardless Thor is more knowledgeable i would think.

[@ltzp2]

Hulk is a tank that could survive such a journey, as Heimdall didn't have the energy or time to safely direct anyone to a destination. Also, Bruce is a genius that would know what to do to organize a plan and get everyone on board. Hulk was worn out from the fight with Thanos and traumatized by the fact that he got tossed around like nothing, and once he completed the rough journey to earth and entered relative safety he exhaustedly let go which allowed bruce to take over. Also if Heimdall sent Loki to earth then he would have brought on an onslaught that earth wouldn't have been ready for, one in which Thanos himself and all of his pieces attacked (potentially). It is also possible and likely that Heimdall saw the outcome of Thor surviving the attack and venturing by some means to have a new weapon forged, which was the only way to defeat thanos should he have a completed infinity gauntlet. The space stone was either lost to thanos in that moment or lost when Thanos took earth by a surprise and stole it along with the time and mind stones and along with crushing the home of what would be the last stand against Thanos. If the space stone went to earth that might have made the difference between Thanos trusting his minions to retrieve them and seeing it necessary to join them himself as the space stone played a key role in enabling Thanos to obtain the other stones, and it could help the Avengers to prevent Thanos from getting the stones if they were to use its power instead. Idk, just spitballing, and also knowing the attention to detail and plot information and continuity that these movies have and realizing that a detail such as this was well thought out (probably) makes me doubt that it would be a blatant plot hole especially considering how much this video is reaching in places.

Loki is dead because the Russo brother said he is dead.

Ragna Hammer, Gary Heimdahl, and Thorland Berg were neighbors of mine in western Minnesota. There was a Loken family which might have been related to Loki. Much Norse Royalty surrounding my youth. All these people lived within 4 miles of my home. It is a good rule to never underestimate Heimdahl.

[@n-key2171]

It may not have made it into the MCU, but Loki is Heimdall's sworn diametrically opposed enemy. He is not Thor's brother to everyone except Thor and Odin. Heimdall would never trust him - - Heimdall feels that when Loki tells the truth it is only in service of some deeper deception or manipulation.

Heimdall the *GOD OF RAINBOWS* 🌈

Ebony maw used magic to cloak the ship until they arrived.

The titles sound so pretentious haha

Wade Wilson

[@willbianco8931]

Oh so he calls himself a god pretentious prick

[@AcademicScholar_]

If he would've sent Thor to "safety" Thor wouldn't have gotten StormBreaker

[@VirgilwithanE]

Heimdall's sight would've shown him the "one" possible future that Doctor Strange glimpsed on Titan would only be possible if Hulk survived.

[@eaglessixersfankeepingitre3247]

OH SNAP!!! Idris Elbs would be the perfect Blue Marvel, and a new character to introduce to the MCU.

[@nomadbors1093]

Heimdall is my favorite character

[@martijn00128]

8:20 "Thanos and Loki weren't at their best at the moment", probably ment Thor but kind of makes me wonder what would have happend if he did try to sent Thanos away.

[@QTCutes]

OK reason he chose Hulk. One he wouldnt send Loki as he would likely not trust him. He wouldn'tsend Thor knowing by using the dakr amgic on him ti would eventually cost Thor so he wouldnt want to risk harming the King fo Asgard. Hulk was someone he likely saw being able to take the trip and survive and not care as much what cost the dark magic would affect on the Hulk sicne he had not close connection to him but knew to send him to earth and dont think it was coincidence he sent them right to Banner's closest friend Tony Stark.

[@nerdygirltravels]

I had the exact same thought when he said that lol

[@PWNHUB]

The Asgardians are not taken by surprise at all, they've known Thanos is coming for a long time now. Thor was sure they had a chance at that point and was still arrogant of his new power.

[@daveclose4935]

1 thing i noticed about Heimdall is he is the spitting image of Idris Elba very very uncanny how alike they look.

[@HyperSS176]

I wonder where's Heimdalls- sword now that he's gone..

[@Blah2000Blah]

Heimdall's abilities could have been blocked by Ebony Maw.

[@oooChickenatorXooo]

8:46 The word you're looking for here is "subjected". Hulk was not conquered and enslaved by the dark magic Heimdall summoned, he was just transported home by it.

[@fenrisbelserion9559]

I don't know why I didn't crying on the scene that he was died, but I cry over the scene that Spider man is melting to the ashes so deep inside my feeling. Maybe because of I know that the god of Askard never die, they're all reborn somewhere again and again.

[@jtube8806]

Heimdall not "seeing" Thanos coming is definitely not a plot hole. Let's say he did---so what? As stated at the start of "Infinity War," the Asgardians were in a refugee vessel, not a warcraft, and had very few soldiers. So even if Heimdall saw Thanos coming, there was no way to prepare--not against the titan with the Power Stone and the Black Order.

[@daboompaloompa]

except maybe I dunno using the Bifrost to send someone with the space stone on the ship the fuck away from thanos so he couldn't acquire it? Def nothing could have been done.....

[@jtube8806]

@@daboompaloompa But Loki would never tell anyone about the stone, not if he thought he could get away with it.

[@daboompaloompa]

@fire rabbit tell anyone? if we can see it in the vault heimdale sure could have. He also would have known Loki grabbed it and was his main motivation behind his heroics in Ragnarok. Cmon bro

[@Clayjarazn]

@@daboompaloompa Loki's power of illusion may be so powerful to even trick Heimdel and thus keep the fact he stole the Tessarect without anyone knowing. Perhaps.

[@jemsncrystals]

I know... he is Sorcerer Supreme.... draws dark magic

[@huh2172]

After what we see in endgame Heimdall might have seen Banner snapping and he might have realized that Thanos has already won getting 2 stones (I mean we have seen the power stone destroying planets like it was nothing) and sending teleporting Thanos won't do them no good btw Heimdall used dark magic instead of the bifrost so he was probably limited on where to send Thanos if he wanted to

[@s1z426]

He could specify his teleportation beam on Thanos’s arm. This way sacrificing all left on the ship would take off thano’s arm and save the rest of the galaxy.
