Seeking a true adventure, Thor and Loki, the sons of Odin and princes of Asgard, set off across the nine realms in search of Elderstahl, a weapon of seemingly unlimited power and the desire of all. To aid in their quest for the legendary Sword of Surtur, the two boys recruit Fandral, Volstagg, and Hogun, better known as the Warriors Three. Their qu...

A group of warriors approach and surround a darkened pit. They leap down and approach the young Thor, who wields a sword. Thor leaps forward into the group. He blocks the sword of one warrior, slashes the cape of another, and trips a third. On the other side he goads the others into attacking. The larger warriors approach holding up their swords and axes. He looks high above the pit, the audience watches and cheers. He spots Sif standing on the ledge looking down. Thor smiles and readies his sword. He turns and blocks another's attack. Thor locks swords and leaps over the warrior. He flips over and blocks another. He continues to flip and block until he makes his away across the pit of warriors once again. Upon reaching the last warrior, Thor trips and loses his sword. On the ground Thor reaches out for the sword as the warriors stand by, first watching him then looking at each other. One large warrior approaches and lifts Thor's sword with his. He raises it up and tosses it back at Thor. Thor grasps the sword and smiles. High above, Sif continues to look on. Thor stands and attacks the helping man. Despite his attacks, the man blocks with every move. Thor circles around him but the man keeps moving back away from him. Sif grows tired of the show and turns to leave down a dark hallway. Back in the pit the man, Ander bows before Thor and tells him that he is victorious. Thor rests his sword on is back and asks if they would do this again the next week. The other warriors also bow. Ander says they will do as he asks. Thor starts to walk away but stops when the audience cheers. He lowers his sword and looks up but does not see Sif. As Thor leaves the arena, Loki congratulates him on the fight, though he notes that the sword had a problems with the grip and was too slick. As Thor passes Loki starts to follow. He says he will punish the dwarfs for Thor. Thor puts the sword in its sheath and tells him to do it.
Friendly Competition
Thor walks up to a barn. Inside, Sif dips her hand into a bucket of feed and holds it to a horse who eats out of her hand. Thor approaches and claims she missed his victory. Sif tells him she left after the opponents helped him with his weapon. Thor gets flustered but walks up to her saying it was the dwarves' fault they didn't work on the grip right. Sif gets angry knowing that blaming the dwarves was Loki's idea. Thor also gets angry at the idea that he shouldn't have won the match. Sif tells him that it wasn't just that day's match. Sif grabs the bucket and walks past Thor. However, Thor grabs her arm causing her to drop the feed and demands an explanation. She yanks her hand away from him and demands that he explain why he never ceded victory to the most celebrated warriors in Asgard, the Einherjar. Thor claims that he is simply more skilled than they are. Sif leans in and points out that they have the toughest foes in the Nine Realms. She shoves her finger into his chest and reminds him that he has never left the royal grounds. Thor then claims to have the strength of Odin. Sif crouches down and scoops up the feed. She agrees but notes that he also has the authority meaning that the warriors have no choice but to lose. Sif stands and Thor demands to know why she has so little faith in him. Sif claims she is the only one who does and that all others protect him. Thor yells at her to stop. The two stand staring at each other. Sif tells him that he has never had an honest fight in his life. She turns to walk away. Thor pulls out his sword and tells her that since she is good with blades she should fight him. Sif warns him to be careful but Thor insults her saying to choose a weapon. Sif drops the feed and steps on a pitch fork to grab the handle. She spins it around then readies it at Thor. Thor sees the barn tool and realizes she thinks less of him than he thought. Sif breaks off the fork end and holds the broken handle to him. Thor raises his sword and runs forward. As he approaches Sif lifts the bucket with the handle and drops in on his head. She swings the handle around and sweeps Thor's feet from underneath him. Thor lands and lifts the bucket off his head growing angry. Then Sif points the broken end at him and he stops. She drops the handle and bids him farewell. Loki sits outside the barn on a barrel. Sif rides the white Pegasus out. He tells her that Thor was wrong and she would fit in with the Valkyries. She tells Loki to stop protecting his brother. She rears the Pegasus causing its wings to expand. The Pegasus flies up and away from the barn. Thor, still covered in feed, exits and watches her fly away. He turns to see Loki then walks away.
Can't Leave
Elsewhere, Volstagg stands on a raised circular platform in a large public square. He drinks from a stein and speaks to the crowd. Hogun sits off by himself also drinking from a pint. Fandral sits with two beautiful women. Volstagg tells him of a time when the Warriors Three were on the side of an icy mountain with fire leaping up from a gorge below. One of Fandral's ladies wonders how fire got in Jotunheim. Fandral tells her that it was dragons. The other woman then asks how many were after them. Fandral says there were seven but Volstagg interrupts saying there were ten. Hogun speaks up saying there were a dozen at least. The four look over at the quiet warrior who turns to look back at them. Fandral then claims that Frost Giants were also approaching them. He goes on to say that there was no escape for him but Volstagg interrupts and continues. He says that the Warriors Three would not stop their quest. He told them that the Sword of Surtur was worth their lives. The crowd mumbles in appreciation. Just then Fandral sees Thor approaching and congratulates him on his victory. Thor walks past without saying a word, obviously angry. He holds up his pint saying his victory is nothing compared to those found outside the arena. The crowd laughs and parts as Thor approaches. Suddenly Thor stops. Hogun stands and lifts his mace saying that next time Thor could join them. Volstagg grabs Hogun reminding him that Thor is not allowed to leave the kingdom. The crowd laughs once again. Thor shakes with anger then runs towards Volstagg. He grabs the overweight man and threatens him for insulting him. Volstagg says they were only jesting and reminds the prince that they are friends. Thor sighs and lets him go. He turns and leaves. Volstagg asks Hogun what is wrong with the boy. Fandral walks up next to the other two as they watch Thor leave.
"When I grow up I'm going to be just like..."
-Boy, first line of video
"Your Highness, we celebrate your victory."
"Try again next week, Ander?"
"We are at your service."
-Ander and Thor, first lines
•Ander wears the cape and helmet that Thor is typically shown using. The producers stated that Thor wears them in his honor when he became captain of the guard. Gary Hartle almost dropped a Thor coffee mug when he first saw the designs and realized this.
•The different helmets and armors of the Einherjar are meant to indicate the various ranks.
•Loki is Joshua Fine's favorite Marvel villain.
•Pegasus are from Greek mythology. Valkyries of Norse mythology are often portrayed has having wings themselves but not on their horses. This error is present in Marvel Comics. In the video, Volstagg mentions interacting with the Greeks showing that many different mythological figures may interact in some way. In reality, the various mythologies may have shared certain aspects.
•In the comics, Algrim is better known as the villain Kurse. He fought Thor and fell into lava. He then came back with no memories in a special suit of armor.
•The spell that Loki uses to manipulate the water is, roughly translated, "Give Magic Water."
•In actual Norse mythology, the Einherjar are warriors fallen in battle that have been saved by the Valkyries and brought to Valhalla to prepare for Ragnarok.
•When Ander throws the sword to Thor, the animation of the sword appears behind Ander.
•Thor sheathes the sword when he leaves the arena, but it is out when he approaches the barn. Inside, it is back in the sheath.
•Thor peaks out of the Thunder Runner to see Asgard, as it is portrayed in the comics. The problem is, the video establishes that each realm, including Asgard, is on a branch of Yggdrasill, which is no where to be seen. Other maps and iconography of Yggdrasill do show Asgard laying on a branch just as Jotunheim and Svartalfheim do.
•When Fandral grabs the waitress her face is in shadows. When she stands again her face is perfectly lit.
•Why do Fandral and Volstagg not recognize Thor until he takes off his hood when Hogun noticed him so easily?
•The video is a prequel to Hulk vs Thor and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes as part of an interconnected animated universe. Wolverine and the X-Men and Hulk vs Wolverine are also part of the universe.
•Chronologically, this is the first appearance of Thor, Loki, Sif, the Warriors Three, Odin, the Frost Giants, Amora, Dark Elves, Asgard, Jotunheim, and Mjolnir.
•By the time of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes's "Thor the Mighty", Loki would reveal himself to be a villain.
•Algrim isn't the only Dark Elf to live. In The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes's "The Casket of Ancient Winters", Malekith is also alive and tries to resurrect the dead elves. He also makes a cameo appearance in Hulk vs Thor.
•Many of the characters seen in the bar can be seen in the coliseum that Beta Ray Bill frees in Planet Hulk. Although the Hulk vs Thor Thor model is used in the video and Asgard is mentioned, there are no known connections between the videos.
•The Frost Giants would siege Asgard again in "Thor the Mighty" and Hulk vs Thor.
