Thor 094: When Did Loki Decide He’d Kill Laufey?

<h2>Minute Ninety-Four: From Frigga Fighting Frost Giants to Frigga Hugging Loki</h2> <p>Joining us to discuss Frigga facing off with Laufey and Loki’s surprise turn are James Anderson and Colin M. Parker, hosts of the Timeline Scavengers podcast.</p> <h3>In the ninety-fourth minute of <a href="https://trustory.fm/director/kenneth-branagh/">Kenneth Branagh</a>’s 2011 film <em>Thor</em>...</h3> <ul><li>Frigga knows how to wield a sword as she takes down a Jotun in one blow. Why doesn’t she use her witch magic though?</li> <li>Could they have found more ways to better work Frigga into the story? Or is this a side effect from being so early in the MCU?</li> <li>Laufey takes Frigga down in one blow. Ouch! Again, why no magic? It unfortunately speaks to plot needs more than anything.</li> <li>Laufey’s red eyes look fantastic here, but his fingernail by Odin’s eye is so creepy.

So will he then change his last name from Laufeyson to Odinson?</li> <li>Did Laufey freeze Odin’s eye open? Why does it stay open?</li> <li>Is this a stunt hand from someone who has naturally large hands?

(Frigga’n cool?)</li> <li>Why does Thor fly straight to the front door instead of up to Odin’s chambers?</li> <li>We discuss our recollections about the reveal of Loki killing Laufey here.</li> <li>There’s been an element of Loki always taking down Laufey from the comics, so it makes sense it happens here.</li> <li>We work through some more thinkin
