Quotes 

• [Thor is in a cloak] 

  Zeus : Let see who you are. I take off your disguise... and flick!

  [strips Thor naked, crowd gasps] 

  Korg : Ohh!

  Thor : You flicked too hard, damn it!

  [the Olympian ladies faint at the sight of Thor] 

  Jane Foster : Should we help him?

  Valkyrie : I mean, eventually. Grape?

• Korg : Come. Come gather round, and listen to the legend of the Space Viking. A.K.A. the God of Thunder. A.K.A. Thor Odinson.

  [pause] 

  Korg : Raised in the way of the warrior, Thor was taught to help win battles, fighting the good fight for those who can't fight good. He grew, and he grew, and he grew. He was sensitive, like a smile. And his loving nature did not discriminate. He once loved a swashbuckling Passionista. Another time, he loved a Wolf Woman, on a Woman Wolf.

  [pause] 

  Korg : But Thor's one true love was an Earth woman named Jane Fonda. Oh, wait. No. Jane Foster. But sadly, in the battle for love, Thor lost. In fact, he lost a lot of people in those days. His mum. His dad. And that guy. And that guy. And whoever that is. And Heimdall. And his brother. And his brother, again. And again.

  [pause] 

  Korg : Poor Thor had to watch his planet explode. And then he said, 'What have I done?' It seemed that everything and everyone he loved, he lost. And so he hid his heart behind a big, fleshy bod, so it could never be broken again.

  [pause] 

  Korg : But just because he was done loving, didn't mean he was done fighting. He teamed up with the Guardians of the Galaxy and set off on some classic Thor adventures. He got in shape, putting in the hard yards. Taking pains into gains and never skipping leg day. He went from dad bod to God bod. But beneath this God bod, there was still a sad bod just trying to get out. Because all of the bods that Thor had worn over the years couldn't hide the pain that he was feeling on the inside.

  [pause] 

  Korg : So he gave up his search for love, accepting he was only good for one thing... Waiting in quiet contemplation for someone to say, 'Thor, we need your help to win this battle.'

• Korg : [Ending narration]  They will always be there for us. The Space Viking and his girl, born from Eternity, with the powers of a God. Two warriors fighting the good fight for those who can't fight good.

  [pause] 

  Korg : They have traveled far, and have been given many names. But to those who know them best, they are simply known as Love and Thunder.

• Jane Foster : [says her catchphrase]  Catchphrase!

  Thor : W-w-w-wait, is that your new catchphrase?

  Korg : I dunno. The word "catchphrase" actually sounds like a pretty cool catchphrase.

• Korg : [narration]  Let me tell you the legend of Thor and Jane. He was a God of Thunder and she, a woman of science. And although they were from different worlds, somehow, it just made sense. And together they embarked on a journey of love.

  [pause] 

  Korg : Thor taught Jane the way of the warrior. And Jane taught Thor the way of the people. And as time passed, their love grew deeper and deeper.

  [as Jane sleeps, Thor talks to Mjolnir] 

  Thor : She's incredible, isn't she, Mjolnir? I need you to promise me you'll always protect her. I love you too, buddy.

  [Thor pats Mjolnir before walking away. Mjolnir briefly glows] 

  Korg : [narration]  And love that deep has a way of becoming magical.

  [pause] 

  Korg : Thor set his sights toward a future and all it might hold. But the more he pondered a life with Jane, the more he feared losing that life. And although Jane didn't want to admit it, she was scared of loss as well.

  [pause] 

  Korg : And so, they built walls between them. Thor got busy saving humanity. And Jane got busy doing the same. Real busy. And eventually, the space between them grew and grew until it became too wide to bear. Something had to give.

  Jane Foster : I have to stay up all night to go through this data, okay?

  Thor : And I have to stay up all night and clean all of this up.

  Jane Foster : There's two plates!

  Thor : It's two plates and two forks!

  Korg : [narration]  And then, one night, it did give. Jane wrote a note. And Thor read that note. And their legend suddenly became myth. Or so they thought.

• Thor : Astrid, are you okay?

  Axl : I no longer go by the name Astrid. I'm now known as Axl. He's a singer from a popular band I heard on Earth.

  Korg : G n' R.

  Thor : Astrid, your father gave you a very tough Viking name and I intend to honor his wishes.

  Axl : Axl

  Thor : Astrid.

  Axl : I said Axl.

  Thor : Astrid.

  Axl : Axl!

  Korg : [interjects]  It's asshole. Now listen to him!
