Favorite Moment or Dramatic Scene

[ladyloki]

Hey I noticed that we have threads on favorite fight scene and the funniest scene .. However this movie also had a alot of dramatic scenes or moments experienced by the characters that just got to you ... so here is mine

Loved the opening with odin with young thor and loki, giving them a history lesson and what struck me right off the bat was thor was very full of excitment and very eager and even then loki was kind of quiet and taking it all in . very well done !!!

The scene during the frost giant fight when loki gets touched by the giant and the giant kind of jumps back and is like what the hell ...and loki is all confused .

Odin and Laufey confrontation both in battle and just after the frost fight ..you can feel the tension

Thor's banishment ... he didn't see it comming

Loki and Odin in the vault ... heartrenching , loki is so full of anger and dispair , especially when he screams TELL ME !!! :wow:

when thor asks loki if he can come home ... again heartrenching on thor's part, well done hemsworth . Also when he is apolgizing to loki when confronting the destroyer ... epic

When loki goes to laufey and the whole doublecross ... fantastic , laufey never saw it comming .

The whole thor vs loki fight ... the diolgue is just amazing , it really was the turning point for them .


The movie is just so good . :yay:

[Vartha]

Well My favorite dramatic scene was when Odin told Loki of his past and Odin's plan to have Loki become the Frost Giant king hoping to bring the two world's together. I felt so sorry for Loki.

[kedrell]

Odin kicking Thor out.

[JB-the-Hunter]

Loki at the end when he said something like: "I could have done it father, for us!" It was so wierd" I'm not used to seeing a moment like that in a superhero film.

[Bren]

Thor failing to lift Mjolnir
Thor "can I come home"
Odin / Loki in the vault.

[DACrowe]

The best moment of the film is when Thor at the beginning marches in shining armor in the throne room and everyone is cheering or rolling their eyes (I love Hopkins in this scene). It felt like the wedding in Hamlet. It played to Branagh's strengths and sense of majestic scope.

But after that the best scenes were between Thor, Odin and Loki. Those (along with the action sequences and anything with the rainbow bridge) were the best parts of the movie.

[misjuevos]

Thor failing to lift Mjolnir
Thor "can I come home"
Odin / Loki in the vault.

thor screaming after trying to lift mjolnir is one of my favorites, and the asking loki to come home was second. seeing thor just look like he was completely crushed and like he would be stuck as a mortal was the best. looked like he didn't care if he lived or died at that point.

[herolee10]

Thor "can I come home"



This scene is perhaps more powerful than any scene I've seen in any of the MCU films imho.

[Rock Sexton]

One of mine is after the Frost Giants broke into the vault and Thor is having a back and forth with Odin. He then says to him, "As king of Asgard ...." only to be interrupted by Odin's, ".... BUT YOU'RE NOT KING. Not yet." Hopkins really owned that little moment.

[The Morningstar]

Yes, that was ****ing brilliant.

Also, when Odin comes to Jotunheim and Thor is like "We'll crush them together father!" And Odin just hisses at him. "Silence".

But I think my favourite dramatic scene in the whole movie was Loki confronting Odin. Just a masterclass in acting. That scene would not look out of place in some high brow, Oscar bait period drama.

[Rock Sexton]

Yes, that was ****ing brilliant.

Also, when Odin comes to Jotunheim and Thor is like "We'll crush them together father!" And Odin just hisses at him. "Silence".


Yup .... Thor's excited "Father! We'll finish them together!" and the Odin silences him .... The audience got a little chuckle out of that.

[irapogi]

Best scene in any marvel movie ... for me.
Loki and Odin in the room.

...two words...

TELL ME!!!!! :D

Also, i said this in another board, anyone else think its cute how both of em are fighting for odin's love/respect/whatever
Thor first, when odin comes to Jotunheim, thor glows, "FATHER! We'll finish them together!" then odin's like "silence!" lol
then later in the movie, Loki's "Father! I could've done it! for you!" he too, glows!
then odin's like "no." lol

who knew odin was such an ass. hehe.

but yeah, for sure the three of em, best scenes and best actors.
Major props to brannagh for getting Hiddleston, Hemsworth and Hopkins!
the triple H!
lol.

[Kent]

- Thor's banishment. Especially the moment when he goes through the bifrost and Odin does the incantation over Mjolnir and throws it after Thor.

- Odin reveals his original plans for Loki. Hiddleston is great in this sequence.

- Loki visits Thor in the SHIELD cell.

- "I could have done it father. For you! For all of us!"

[R_Hythlodeus]

since nobody said it yet:
loki and frigga at odins bed. I love hiddlestons acting in that scene. subtle but very effective.

[ladyloki]

smacks head .. omg how could I have left that out . I agree , it was almost as if loki was started to come around and feel accepted , until she mentioned Thor and it was like a 180 turn.. the look on his face. Brilliant acting and once again he didnt have to say a word and you knew what he was thinking . Hiddleston was perfect playing loki :yay:

[hugekent]

The two scenes that stood out to me and seemingly most of us on SHH were: Loki and Odin's talk; and Thor's banishment. Big moments that were acted tremendously.

[Superhero 101]

My Favorite Scenes were
1. Opening with Hopkins narrarating
2.Thor's Banishment
3.Loki Odin Confrontation
4. And probably my most Favorite was Thor going towards the Destroyer and Thor Apologizing
5.And Thor Loki fight

[TheCorpulent1]

I can't really pick a single favorite scene, but I know if I could, it'd come from the Odin/Loki/Thor parts. Excellent actors fleshing out an excellent set of relationships between excellent characters with gut-wrenching intensity. What more can you ask for in a film? :hehe:

[Microchip]

I loved when Thor apologized to Loki anyways after not being allowed to come home. That was a really well done scene.

[Hunter Rider]

The scene where Thor sacrificed himself to The Destroyer and then was resurrected and took it down, the exchange that followed between Thor and Jane about his look and then her giggle as he pulled her close to fly off rounded out that whole scene perfectly, a bit of everything.

My second favourite was the scene between Thor and Loki in the holding cell, some fantastic acting from Hemsworth and Hiddelston.

[TheCorpulent1]

I almost jumped out of my chair and cheered when Thor "died" and Mjolnir shot into the sky like a rocket. :up:

[The Batman]

"But you're NOT king....not yet"

Brilliant acting

[The Morningstar]

^ Yea, that was awesome. The sour look on Hemsworth's face was just great.

[TheCorpulent1]

The arguments between Thor and Odin were great. Not just because of the acting but because Branagh made them really intense and realistic. No one can relate to gods or different worlds or other things so cosmic in scope, so the family drama necessarily became the movie's--and character's--"in" for those who aren't already predisposed to liking big cosmic stuff. Branagh exploited that family drama perfectly. You could really feel the disappointment as Odin gazed at his son parading himself so boisterously through his coronation, Thor's rage at this old man who seemingly just wanted to hold him back from the greatness he believed he could accomplish, and Loki's quiet, two-faced manipulations because his already obvious desperation to please his father only became magnified when he found out Odin was actually his foster father. The family stuff was really the linchpin that brought the movie together. I was more pleased with the effectiveness of those brother/father/son scenes than I was with all of the cool action spectacles put together.

[The Batman]

^ Yup. The second time I saw it, you could feel the crowd thinking "Oh *****" when Thor said the "old man and a fool" line.

[The Morningstar]

When the most memorable scenes of a big budget summer movie are the more intimate, character interactions, rather than the big SFX shots and action scenes, you know you've got a good movie on your hands.

That's not to say the action scenes were poor, although The Destroyer could have posed more of a threat to Thor really, it's just a testament to Branaugh as an "actors director".

[The Batman]

^ Yeah, the dramatic and comedic scenes were easily the best parts about the whole movie, IMO.

[TheCorpulent1]

I loved the action scenes for two reasons: 1) HAMMER SPIN! and 2) HE FLIES! Those were big question marks (to me, since I avoided spoilers) before the movie actually opened, so the fact that we got both and Thor really felt like Marvel's Thor ('cause how often do you hear of the mythical Thor spinning Mjollnir?) made my day as a Thor fan. But the character work was handled beautifully and elevated the movie above your standard popcorn action fare.

[The Morningstar]

Ah man, the part where he flew through that Frost Monster thing's head was just... pure Thor. Awesome.

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, yeah, one of my biggest "awesome things to show in the movie" wishes was something like that shot from Ages of Thunder of Mjolnir punching straight through a giant's head, but I never imagined they'd have Thor himself do it. :hehe:

[El Payaso]

My absolute favourite:

Odin telling Loki who he really is.

[the dmg]

My absolute favourite:

Odin telling Loki who he really is.
Agreed. It was easily one of the best moments with the emotion behind it. The interactions between Thor, Odin, and Loki were all great.

[Doctor Jones]

edit.

[Alientraveller]

I'm throwing in some dark horses here:

*When Eric, Jane and Darcy argue about Thor's origins, culminating in the citing of Clarke's third law.
*Thor explaining to Jane about the Nine Worlds.
*Loki making Heimdall admit he has to obey him.
*Jane, crestfallen that Thor is not coming back, the silhouettes of Darcy and Eric walk away in front of her.

All of Hemsworth, Hopkins and Hiddleston's interactions were great, which is why I'm taking it for granted and dwelling on these smaller moments.

Loved those. That first one in particular. The whole exchange between Selvig and Jane was beautifully done.

[The Caped Knight]

1. Odin reveals to Loki his true origins
2. Thor's Banishment
3. Thor tries to lift Mjolnir and fails
4. Thor vs. Loki
5. Loki last words to Odin before falling through the wormhole
6. Thor sacrifices himself for the safety and survival of Jane and the people of earth against the Destroyer armor then he's resurrected
7. Your not a King yet
8. Loki lies to Thor while he's imprisoned / Can I come home ?
9. Thor flies
10. Loki reveal and The Cosmic Cube with Nick Fury

[Spider-Man '92]

When Thor is in need of a horse. I've quoted it so much since seeing it yesterday.

[Marvel]

The most underrated scene for me was the bar scene ending with "He drank, he fought, he did his ancestors proud." This gave the movie true heart and slipped in some great wisdom. What the doctor told Thor at the bar are words to live by. It also bonded the characters. It showed why the doctor was with Jane and led directly to the camp fire scene with Jane.

This movie deserves much more credit around the Net for being wonderfully written. It's getting a lot of praise for being fun and for being visually stunning but Thor is a winner from the script on out.

[Superhero 101]

I also thought The ending Where Thor talks with Odin after the Loki Battle was very Touching where he says something like "I will never be a wiser king then you"

[S.A.A.D.]

My favorite dramatic bits:

-Loki finding out that he was adopted
-Thor being stripped of his powers and mjolnir
-Odin cutting off Loki in the middle of him talking

[DACrowe]

For those who liked (adult) Thor's intro scene...this should look familiar:

-li2jXSzHE0&feature=related

It's from Branagh's Hamlet. That YT video really doesn't do it justice (Branagh shot it in gorgeous 70MM and this a faded pan and scan VHS version), but it is all I could find of it on YT. If you see the whole scene it goes on to have Hamlet come out to greet his king and mother. However, the roles are ironically reversed where Hamlet is weary of this celebration, viewing it as an affront to his recently dead father and is clad in black. I thought of this scene instantly when Thor came into his throne room and Odin looked on with disapproval and weariness.

[Oberon sexton]

Gotta say the entire finale confrontation between Thor and Loki, really showed how far Loki had fallen, "Is it madness? is it? IS IT?!" Hiddleston really captured the intensity well.
And I have to say, when Thor placed mjolnir on Loki's chest I had the hugest grin, really awesome moment.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

This movie had some superb dramatic moments, the best in any Marvel movie yet for me, but the moment I got the biggest goose-bumps was a powerless Thor approaching The Destroyer and the subsequent scene, really powerful stuff, as were Loki's last words to his father in the movie.

[El Payaso]

I was so sure he was going to say "This is ASGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!"

[Oberon sexton]

:applaud

[Visceral]

He drank he fought he made his ancestors proud

I agree, with that music playing and the slow walking towards The Destroyer is just amazing. My favorite moment is easily when he gets the hammer and his power back, when the hammer comes flying in and he grabs it. I had the biggest smile on my face such a great moment.

[Sabaoth]

That was my favorite scene as well!:yay:

[Doomed_hero]

probebly the scene I remeber the most was when he walked up to the destoryer armor and apologiesed to Loki for however he had wronged him all the way up to the end. But that starting moment really showed that Thor was reallly concerned for Loki and felt genuely sad for how he may have hurt him.

[Duker Jay]

One of mine is after the Frost Giants broke into the vault and Thor is having a back and forth with Odin. He then says to him, "As king of Asgard ...." only to be interrupted by Odin's, ".... BUT YOU'RE NOT KING. Not yet." Hopkins really owned that little moment.

Yes, that was ****ing brilliant.

Also, when Odin comes to Jotunheim and Thor is like "We'll crush them together father!" And Odin just hisses at him. "Silence".

But I think my favourite dramatic scene in the whole movie was Loki confronting Odin. Just a masterclass in acting. That scene would not look out of place in some high brow, Oscar bait period drama.

I really dug Hopkins' performance. I think the really great thing about these moments was that, for me, it was quite unexpected. In the trailers, we only saw Odin as a calm, judicious character. Even when he's about to banish Thor his tone is fairly subdued (in the trailer, that is). That's what made his outbursts so cool.

The way he shouts "But your NOT..." and hisses, "Silence" are just so great and an abrupt change from that really measured delivery. So good.

I will also mention the holding cell scene because, again, I didn't expect how moving that would be. The vulnerability with which Thor asks to come home. Really well done.

[TheWiseGuy487]

I know it's been said before, but the whole entire conversation between Loki and Odin near the beginning of the movie. Both actors nailed this scene.

I copied and pasted it from IMDB. From what I remember, I'm pretty sure it's accurate:

"Am I cursed?"
"No."
"What am I?"
"You are my son."
"What more than that? The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from the Jotunheim that day was it?"
"No. Amongst the rubble I found a baby, small for a giants offspring, abandoned and helpless. Laufey's son."
"Laufey's son? Why? You were knee deep in Jotun blood, why would you take me?"
"...can't remember."
"No, you took me for a purpose. What was it? TELL ME!!!!!"
"I thought that perhaps one day we could bring about an alliance between the two worlds. Through you."
"Wha-? So I'm just another one of your stolen relics, locked away here until you might find use of me?"
"Why do you twist my words?"
"You could've told me what I was from the beginning. Why didn't you?"
"I wanted only to protect you from the truth."
"That I'm the monster that parents tell their children about at night? You know it all makes sense now why you favored Thor all these years. Because no matter how much you claimed to love me, you couldn't have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!!!"

I especially loved the "TELL ME!!!" line that Loki yells to Odin. So much emotion and intensity from Tom Hiddleston. Probably one my new favorite actors. Looking forward to seeing him in The Avengers.

One of my favs as well... IIRC (will be seeing it again today) didn't Odin mention...

about Loki as an infant "....abandon and helpless, suffering." and then he changes infant Loki to an Asgardian? It was IMHO as though Odin wanted to convey to Loki that he could have killed him there as an infant but didn't.... (because he had a greater plan in mind).

Well he did feel sorry for him I think he would have taken him anyway,maybe not to raise as his own but to save him. However when he realized that he was not a child of a random frost giant but Laufey's son he saw a greater purpose for loki , which was as he said to rule over that kingdom and bring peace but his mistake was not telling this to Loki and raising him to believe he could rule Asgard, loved it when loki points out that Odin had no intention of letting a frost giant rule his kingdom and he was right.

[CaptainStacy]

Definitely the scene between Odin and Loki when Loki learns what he really is. That was excellent, imo...

Just came back from another viewing (in glorious IMAX 3D) and Odin said
"...abandoned, suffering, left to die..."Need to get to another IMAX viewing before Friday, before the Pirates take over. On a side note I'm quickly becoming a member of Team Loki because of that scene.. is that right? :hrt:

[Vartha]

MAN I wish I could see it on IMAX.

[KittyDuran]

MAN I wish I could see it on IMAX.Most of what you get is not "true" IMAX but just a larger screen with a more favorable seating arrangement. There are two in the Cincinnati area where I live... AMC in Newport, KY and Cinema De Lux in Springdale (northern burbs). Cinema De Lux is much better IMHO with a bigger screen and better audio. Of course, you'll have to shell out more money... when I went this afternoon the matinee price was $12.50

[LadyMoira]

-"Tell Me!" Of course. Such pain and anger there.
-"Can I come home?" Of course. Such vulnerability there.
-"I could have done it Father! For you!"


A couple of other moments...

-"You've gone soft...was it that woman? It was, wasn't it?!? Well maybe, after I'm done here I should pay her a visit!" It was all in the delivery and it really encapsulated how divided Loki's emotions are regarding his brother; hates him, jealous of him, and yet still wanting/needing Thor to be the indomitable warrior. Also, "I'm not your brother! I never was!"

-Loki's double crossing Laufey-didn't see it coming but his line, "Know that it was Odin's son who killed you..." that scene was important on so many levels, and then hugging Freya and "Mother, I promise you they will pay for what they've done." Wish I'd seen more of Freya really and her role in the family.

-Jane mourning her stolen research. It's so rare in these movies that the female love interest has real depth and a backstory but Jane's passion for her work was a major plot point and defining point for her as a person and I like that.

-Loki telling Heimdall, that he has to obey him. Elba managed to convey so much inner rebellion with just a twist of his mouth there. It was like it was taking all his inner strength not to slap Loki down right then and there.

-Selvig and Thor at the bar. The grumpy old professor being the one to FINALLY get through, to Thor that sometimes you just have to accept NOT knowing all the answers.
