Thor 038: Thirsty, Anyone?

<h2>Minute Thirsty-Eight: From Healthy Muscles to a Healing Massage</h2> <p>Joining us again is Jessica Plummer, author and contributing editor at Book Riot. We discuss more about thirst, Thor’s attitude, how he speaks to people, and the Asgardian healing room.</p> <h3>In the thirsty-eighth minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>The thirst factor is still high as we kick off this minute with Jane still having a hard time not blatantly staring at Thor.</li> <li>Meanwhile, he gets ready to put the shirt on that she loaned him, only to find a Hello, My Name Is... sticker still attached.</li> <li>Turns out, we have another Easter egg buried in the name on that sticker – Donald Blake M.D.</li> <li>Marvel enjoys dropping Easter eggs in their films, which is a different perspective than the DC films use, where they largely avoid dropping them. But why?</li> <li>This shirt, however – does this mean Jane’s had it for a long time but hasn’t washed it? Or was it a recent break-up?</li> <li>Does the fact that this Thor fits perfectly so well imply that Jane has a type and Thor fits it perfectly?</li> <li>There was a point in development where the Donald Blake persona would be in the film and they were talking about Kevin McKidd playing him.</li> <li>Despite his hotness and Jane’s (and our) thirst for him, Thor is <em>rude</em>. He clearly acts like royalty and treats everyone as if they’re servants or commoners.</li> <li>Thor’s comments about needing sustenance come off sounding like he’s having an out of body experience. His mortal form?</li> <li>Could it be that he hasn’t had a golden apple from Asgard in far too long and is actually feeling more mortal than he’s ever felt before?</li> <li>Thor is hungry. Darcy is thirsty. But she and Erik share a look when Thor speaks the way he does. Clearly, they’re tuned in to his crazy jabberings.</li></ul> <h3>We leave the thirst behind to journey to Asgard where we visit the Healing Room.</h3> <
