As I recall, she missed.

I sure hope so, because ol' long beard is starting to seem pretty useless.

[Chewy]

He watches over Asgard and stuff.

[TheCorpulent1]

I actually prefer Odin kind of useless. Maybe I was spoiled by Dan Jurgens' run, where he killed Odin off and installed Thor as king of Asgard, but I kind of like it when daddy's not around to solve all of Thor's problems or trivialize Loki's legitimately dangerous, evil schemes by chastising him like a child and such. If he's alive and likely to stay that way (since I don't anticipate much patricide going on in a kids' cartoon), making him a relatively hands-off king is the next best thing.

[BigThor]

Nah not me, besides alot of the problems Asgard faces are indeed Odin's problems and not Thor's.

[Chewy]

My whole thing is, I don't really care who's more powerful than who or who should be fighting who or any of that petty bs. I just like to see the characters I'm fond of explored.

That's not the point, it's just common sense that Odin should be alot more active in protecting Asgard since he is the king and all.

Yeah just keep sending Thor to get his ass whooped and potential doom Asgard when you have the power of like 1,000 Thor's.

[Chewy]

Meh.

[TheCorpulent1]

I do too. Thor gets explored more deeply when he doesn't have the crutch of his nigh-omnipotent father around to fix all of his problems. The only way to make Odin and Thor's relationship more interesting than that is to actively set Odin against Thor, which just winds up making them both look sort of like a**holes.

But it's early in Thor's career in the cartoon, so I guess it's not too bad that Odin's still around. There are some good stories that have come from his and Thor (and Loki's) relationship over the years.

[Anubis]

I wish he'd hurry up and lose his eye already. Odin with his eye is like Aquaman without a beard of some sort. It lowers his badass quotient by 15%.

[TheCorpulent1]

It also makes it impossible to refer to him by some of his cooler names, like "Odin One-Eye."

He's a crotchety old man, he'll let the youngins deal with it

I think it's more that Bill and Sif kinda had a thing going on in the comics there for a while.

[TheCorpulent1]

I know, but so did Thor. A much longer while. Only Thor's not allowed to have anything with Sif in the cartoon because the movies are all about Jane.

[BigThor]

I finally saw the episode and I was impressed with Thor's nobility, it was nice seeing Odin show some concern for Thor after summoning Bill as well.

It was cool seeing a weakened Odin easily stopping Beta Ray's attack and overpowering him while still sitting calmly on his throne.

[SaF]

Hehehehe I have my sources

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

if you want to see it and can't wait, just download it off a torrent site...

[Nathan]

Did anyone else think that Beta Ray Bill's outfit, looked much cooler than Thor's?

[Sockie]

So we know when new episodes will start airing in Australia. "Nightmare in Red" on May 30, "Prisoner of War" airs on May 31, and "Infiltration" airs on June 4. For anyone who wants to see their summaries:

Really hope someone uploads all of these episodes when they air, and all of the ones after them!

After watching this episode, I think Beta Ray Bill should be in a Thor sequel. This would be the way to do it. He could battle Thor at first but then gain the power of Mjolnir, and then later help Thor. It would be good to see Thor to find a kindred spirit and team up with a "brother" who shares the same nobility as him.

[Quasimod0]

Just saw the episode. Liked it even better than last week's. And thats saying something. Beta Ray was great!
