History Film / Thor

** [[Creator/AnthonyHopkins Odin]] says "[[Film/BramStokersDracula I cast you out!]]"

* TruerToTheText: In one small way, Heimdall and Sif are not portrayed as siblings. In the comics, that is actually a case of RelatedInTheAdaptation.

* DropTheHammer: Thor, natch!

* WhereTheMagicWent: Asgard and Jotunheim, the homes of Myth/{{Norse Mythology}}'s gods and giants (respectively). While Asgard still considers Earth one of its Nine Realms, it doesn't seem like they've visited Earth in a very long time.

** Loki is a jerk, but putting Thor on the throne of Asgard at the beginning of the film wouldn't have ended well for anyone. By the end, even Thor himself realizes he wasn't ready for the responsibility and needs more time to mature and learn.
*** He also accuses Odin of [[spoiler:adopting him]] for purely political reasons. Although Odin clearly loves him, his expression suggests that this accusation hit home rather hard.

** Laufey's right and quick to point out that pre-CharacterDevelopment Thor is just a boy who tried to prove himself a man, and he's also right about how much a war between Asgard and Jötunheim would cost both sides.
** Loki, likewise, isn't wrong in pointing out that Thor is too arrogant and violent to be a suitable king of Asgard, despite his own jealousy.

* DarkMagicalGirl: Gender-inverted; Loki is a sorcerer who DesperatelyCravesAffection and who believes that his father loves him less than Thor. Loki yearns for Odin's approval while also being envious of his brother, who is a shining example of Asgardian manhood. Loki's strengths, cunning and magic (the latter is, appropriately for this trope, linked with femininity on Asgard), juxtapose Thor's brute force, and he utilizes them to antagonize his elder sibling.

** Nearly everything that Odin does. He makes it very clear that Thor's brazen and reckless actions threatened ''all'' nine realms and that just because the Asgardians ''won'' the War does not mean that the Frost Giants were ''defeated''. His dialogue with Laufey implies there is a very tentative peace barely held between the two and they are effectively in a [[JustForPun Cold War]].

** Erik lies to Coulson about Thor (aka Donald Blake). Coulson knows he's lying. He wants to see where this is going.

* CrypticBackgroundReference: Selvig references knowing a colleague who's had dealings with S.H.I.E.L.D. in the past. [[invoked]] WordOfGod would confirm this to be a reference to [[Film/AntMan Hank Pym]].

** Gender-flipped with Loki, who is a master of magic, which makes him the equivalent of a {{Bookworm}} on Asgard because magic and science are the same thing in that realm.
