Thor 025: Does Thor Realize Just How Much Damage His Lightning Will Cause?

<h2>Minute Twenty-Five: From Screaming Volstagg to Collapsing Utgard</h2> <p>This week, we’re joined by Cass Fredrickson from Lord of the Rings Minute at Dueling Genre Productions. We’ve got Mjølnir bringing the lightning, a collapsing city, and a run from a Jotun Beast to chat about and Cass is with us every step of the way!</p> <h3>In the twenty-fifth minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>Volstagg’s scream sure would’ve sent us running too, but then so would a giant Jotun Beast appearing from an ice shell directly behind us.</li> <li>How the hell do they always stay so far ahead of it?
