Remember Phase 1 of the MCU? Remember when the possibilities seemed endless the simplicity of the storytelling lent way to more intimate character stories? Remember when it felt like the creative heads at Marvel actually gave a damn about the craft that went into their movies? It was that attention to detail, that level of care and understanding for the characters and their emotional journies that allowed people to fall in love with the brilliance of the MCU during Phase 1, where the greatest threat was an Alien army invading New York City. Iron Man may have opened the door, but it wasn't until 2011's Thor that the universe of the MCU exploded with the introduction of Gods and the cosmos. And yet, despite the fact that a larger universe was awakening right before us, director Kenneth Branagh ensured that the heart and drama never left our reality. More so than any other Phase 1 filmmaker, Branagh understood that with great power, came great responsibility. It wasn't simply enough to explore and explain every tiny detail of the infinite cosmos, but rather craft a compelling narrative around centuries-old mythic figures, ushering them into the modern era of storytelling. You see, Thor isn't simply an adaptation of the beloved comic book hero but rather a mixture of the Shakespearean Tragedy, mythic folktales, and modern day mythology as told through comic books and films. These are heroes and archetypes as old as time, framed and shot with such vibrant colors and extravagant costumes and sets, transformed into heroes for a new generation. Thor is perhaps the most underrated movie in Phase 1 of the MCU because it not only unlocked a new frontier in the Marvel Universe, but it simultaneously took these icons back to their ancient roots in order to chart a new path forward. Simply put, Thor deserves more love, and we're gonna give it to him! Griffin (@griffschiller) and Editor Laurence (@laurence_hisee) give you their Thor movie review and explain why Thor is underrated, Why Thor is the best Thor movie, why Thor is perfect, and why Thor is the best!

🎞 About Thor (2011) 🎞

As the son of Odin (Anthony Hopkins), king of the Norse gods, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) will soon inherit the throne of Asgard from his aging father. However, on the day that he is to be crowned, Thor reacts with brutality when the gods' enemies, the Frost Giants, enter the palace in violation of their treaty. As punishment, Odin banishes Thor to Earth. While Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Thor's brother, plots mischief in Asgard, Thor, now stripped of his powers, faces his greatest threat.
