CHRIS HEMSWORTH & TOM HIDDLESTON'S (LOKI) DEBUT! Thor Movie Reaction & Commentary with Greg Alba and Coy Jandreau! As we continue our Road To Avengers Doomsday Marvel marathon, we’re going back to MCU Phase 1 for the movie that introduced the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor, starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, and directed by Kenneth Branagh: Thor (2011). Thor Full Movie Uncut Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - IRON MAN 2 MOVIE REACTION (2010) COMMENTARY: https://youtu.be/PwZ9INFAO8I - THE INCREDIBLE HULK REACTION (2008) COMMENTARY: https://youtu.be/_1PWhltGnaQ - IRON MAN REACTION (2008) COMMENTARY: https://youtu.be/4eNvK8Ga75M Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Itheories, and the larger Marvel multiverse conversation heating up, this Thor movie commentary hits very differently now. We revisit young Chris Hemsworth’s first MCU performance, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki origin story, the first look at Asgard, Odin’s family drama, Thor’s banishment to Earth, the Warriors Three, Heimdall, the Frost Giants, and the first time Thor becomes worthy of lifting Mjolnir. In this Thor 2011 movie reaction, Greg & Coy break down how different Phase 1 Marvel felt, why this version of Thor feels more mythic and dramatic, how Loki was already perfectly set up from the start, and whether Marvel should bring back more of this serious Asgardian energy heading into Avengers: Doomsday. Does Thor (2011) hold up better than people remember? Was this the best balance of Shakespearean drama, fish-out-of-water comedy, and MCU world-building? And do we need this version of Thor back before Avengers Doomsday? #Thor #AvengersDoomsday #Loki #MovieReaction #ReelRejects #ChrisHemsworth #TomHiddleston #MarvelStudios #MCU #RoadToDoomsday #DoctorDoom #RobertDowneyJr #Asgard #Mjolnir #react #reaction #reacting #moviereaction #movie #firsttimewatching 0:00 Check in.. 1:57 Thor (2011) Movie Reaction 1:06:32 Thor (2011) Movie Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

To this day, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston as Thor and Loki are my favorite hero and villain pairing in MCU movie history. And it’s still crazy that Tom originally tried to play Thor, but was given an even more perfect role for him in Loki.

When he growls he actually scared the actors. The reaction on Tom's face is real because of how Anthony was doing the scene.

I truly hope Marvel someday manages to convince Kenneth Branagh to come back and either to do a Thor sequel or another Marvel movie of his choosing. And give him just as much if not more creative freedom. Because we need to see more movies like this back in the MCU.

This movie was my genuine first true exposure to the Marvel Thor, and I remember becoming obsessed with him after I saw it. He’s also the first live action superhero I ever saw who IMO, rocked a cape just as well as Superman. Not to mention his arc was unlike anything I’ve seen in other superheroes before, someone who is this incredibly arrogant brute who loved fighting more than anything, who learned humility by being stripped of his power. That scene of Thor, trying and failing to lift his hammer, and then crying up to the skies, was the moment I saw true humanity in this character.
