Thor 093: Is This the Best Kiss in the MCU?

<h2>Minute Ninety-Three: From Dutch Kisses to Jotun Entrances</h2> <p>Joining us to discuss Thor’s and Jane’s final kiss and Frigga’s defensive stance are James Anderson and Colin M. Parker, hosts of the Timeline Scavengers podcast.</p> <h3>In the ninety-third minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are the perfect height for a romantic dutch angle kiss. It’s just perfect here.</li> <li>We discuss the romance and chemistry between these two actors. It’s interesting that people approach this pair differently.</li> <li>Thor kisses Jane’s hand. Jane full-on kisses him. It’s a fantastic kiss. There’s some serious passion here.</li> <li>And who wouldn’t get in on that if they were that close to either of these two?</li> <li>The scripted kiss came from Thor after kissing Jane’s hand. We’re so happy they give the agency to Jane to kiss Thor after that kiss on her hand.</li> <li>We wish more of the MCU had this level of romance.</li> <li>Is this Chris Hemsworth’s first on-screen feature film kiss?</li></ul> <h3>Bifrost, Engage!</h3> <ul><li>Bifrost comes down and sucks everyone up into space. So... were they just standing there watching Thor and Jane this whole time?</li> <li>We again ponder the look of all the trips through the Bifrost. We really feel it’s more storytelling shorthand though, just like Rhodey learning to fly in the War Machine suit.</li> <li>How did Thor see Heimdall needed medical attention so quickly?</li> <li>Thor takes off to fly toward Valaskjalf.</li></ul> <h3>Meanwhile, in Odin’s Chambers</h3> <ul><li>Frigga pulls Odin’s sword out of the holster built into his bed stand. Is that a thing?</li> <li>That being said, Frigga seems ready to wield a weapon.</li> <li>Does the golden glow around Odin keep us from hearing his snoring?</li> <li>The doors are icing up. The frost giants are close. When did Loki slip away from them?</li> <li>Do frost giants freeze everything they touch or
