Thor 069: Why Boilermakers, Erik?

<h2>Minute Sixty-Nine: From Protective in the Pub to Lonely on Jotunheim</h2> <p>Joining us to discuss the wrap-up (and boilermakers) between Thor and Erik in the bar as well as the figure arriving on Jotunheim is Bryon Lockhart, host of the Marine Corps Movie Minute and Co-Host of the Marvel Events Timeline Podcasts.</p> <h3>In the sixty-ninth minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>Erik’s protective feelings for Jane really kick in here as he tells Thor he needs to leave town tonight.</li> <li>Does that make sense? Is he overstepping his bounds as far as Jane and any possible relationship with Thor?</li> <li>Is Erik a bit of the Culver University Godfather?</li> <li>Should Erik be meddling in Jane’s romantic interests? Does that diminish Jane as a character that she needs someone to control her love life?</li> <li>Or is there something more in relation to how Jane’s father lived and/or died?</li> <li>And is it a problem that this story point never comes back?</li> <li>We sure hope that Erik shows up in <em>Thor: Love &amp; Thunder</em>. As it looks now, neither he nor Darcy are in the credits, which hurts our hearts.</li> <li>Again, Thor very much takes in what Erik says about leaving town and speaks in a 100% honest way as he agrees to the deal. This is a side of Thor we just love.</li> <li>Chris Hemsworth plays Thor with such authentic honesty. It’s an important element in his character.</li> <li>Perhaps it’s that Thor very much believes in honoring a debt. Erik did help him get free, after all.</li></ul> <h3>Is it odd that Erik orders them boilermakers to seal the deal?</h3> <ul><li>Perhaps it’s just because of how Stellan Skarsgård says the word ‘boilermaker.’</li> <li>We go through the history of boilermakers a bit. Did you know they’re from Montana?</li> <li>These glasses seem ridiculously large. Like these characters are hobbits marveling at how ‘they come in pints!’</li> <li>The unspoken drinking contest is very funn
