Thor 035: Will Jane Find Her Spaceman?

<h2>Minute Thirty-Five: From a Missing Constellation to a Missing Patient</h2> <p>‘Jovial’ Jay Shepard joins us for the last time to discuss Jane, Erik and Darcy realizing that Thor is basically a spaceman, as well as Thor’s escape from the hospital.</p> <h3>In the thirty-fifth minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>Jane and Erik continue their conversation about how our constellations are missing and seem to have been replaced with different constellations. They’re getting closer – but aren’t there quite yet – to realizing that Thor is a spaceman.</li> <li>Darcy calls them over to point out the obvious-to-us but apparently-not-obvious-to-them-until-just-this-moment shape of a man in the atmospheric disturbance. Jane realizes finally that the man they hit with the Pinzgauer is, in fact, a spaceman.</li> <li>But how do they get photos of the stars during the atmospheric disturbance? It’s awfully bright.</li> <li>Regardless, we love how Branagh and his editors chose to edit from the shot of the shape of a man in the sky to the overhead shot of Thor strapped to the bed.</li></ul> <h3>Meanwhile, back with the other spaceman and his wife in Asgard.</h3> <ul><li>Odin fumes on his balcony. Frigga enters, upset that Odin’s banished her son. She’s Frigga’n furious.</li> <li>Again, Anthony Hopkins just rules in this role.</li> <li>Rene Russo delivers a great accent that doesn’t distract at all.</li> <li>Their age difference does distract a bit though.</li> <li>We look at Odin’s armor. He only has four discs on his. Does that change our thoughts about these as rankings?</li> <li>Odin says Thor pushed them to the brink of war. Was he not there when Laufey pretty much said war has begun?</li> <li>And Frigga references mortals again. So <em>are</em> they immortal?</li> <li>This scene largely feels superfluous so we’re glad they cut it. Plus, it wouldn’t allow for the fantastic transition from the last scene to the next one.</li></ul> <h3>A
