Thor: Tales of Asgard

Thor: Tales of Asgard (2011) is a movie I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows a young Thor and Loki as they're coming of age and starting to earn the opportunity to go on adventures. They stowed away on their first journey to recover a sacred sword and quickly learn the importance of following the rules, respecting others and how things can go terribly wrong if you act before you think.

This movie is directed by Sam Liu (Batman: The Killing Joke) and contains the voices of Matthew Wolf (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Rick Gomez (Sin City), Tara Strong (Fairly Odd Parent) and John Novak (War).

The animation in this is excellent, as are the settings, universe and characters. Seeing Loki and Thor young, getting along and working together was fun to see. The storyline has some good twists and turns and the conclusion is very good.

Overall this is a very enjoyable, fun and a great depiction of the Asgard universe. I'd score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.

I was really surprised I liked this movie as much as I did. The story was great, the Loki dynamic was very good and it made for a very well spent afternoon. It needed a bit more of a budget and it would have made a hell of a great MCU entry.

Interesting plot, but not my favorite Marvel animation!

I felt this movie pretty passable as a person who isn't a fan of Thor or the Marvel franchise in general. The tone balanced mature themes and characters well with an arrogant lead and a younger target audience. I felt the pacing was good and it wasn't predictably boring.

This movie is great at what it is and the people giving it the negative reviews need to get out of the box once in a while. What it is; is a look at Thor and Loki on their first real adventure, the trouble they get into (good and bad) and the consequences of their actions. It is also a brief look at Thor's relationship with Sif and the Valkyrie. Animation is good, not great, but the story and fresh perspective of the young Thor make up for it. I rated the movie high because I enjoyed the risk they took to make it; PLUS, anytime I can watch a movie like this and not guess just about every plot twist AND still enjoy the movie and the story---I am happy. Fun watch, and if your a Thor fan, you will like it all the more.
