Notes:
- Westeros opening on Syfy!
- Loki is more Criss Angel, less Tom Hiddleston
- Is... is Loki holding a dildo scepter?! Dear god, that's awesome
- The "Safety of Valhalla" seems to be in the Hollywood Hills
- I'm not sure it's a fair fight between WWF star Kevin Nash and Booker's Richard Grieco
- Fun fact: Odin would have been six years old when he fathered/adopted Loki
- Odin and his awesome tats in his death scene
- Thor's chain mail suit, attached by threads at the arms (!?!)
- Filmed in glorious shades of yellow and brown!
- Thor, that's *not* how you run with a sword
- Patricia Velasquez, with her crazy eye makeup, as the most useful being among gods
- Thor, wearing soft, fuzzy,brown sleeper bottoms
- Loki can grow back severed hands?!?!
- Ah, Zombie Loki. That explains a lot
- Jarnsaxa is earning her paycheck
- Thor swilling booze to heal his wounds
- Er, I won't even mention Thor destroying the Norn's Loom of Fate at the end. I prefer to think the movie died with Loki.
- "This portends to be an evil day"
- "Ragnarok!" "Ragnarok!" "Ragnarok!"
