Jane isn’t surprised, though, because she believes she can predict the appearance of wormholes. Suddenly, the van hits a man. He’s hot. And breathing.We’re then given some historical context. In 965 AD, the Frost Giants invaded Earth in Norway, using the Tesseract in hopes of taking over the planet. Luckily, the Asgardians showed up, forced the Frost Giants to retreat, and took the Tesseract with them.We learn that Odin is telling this story to his two sons — one blond, one dark-haired — explaining that both are worthy, but only one can be king. A classic way to pit two brothers against each other. That always ends well!Flash forward to present day: Asgard is pumped because blond-headed Thor is about to be crowned king. And wouldn’t you know it — Loki is insanely jealous.Before Thor can be crowned, the Frost Giants break into the vault that houses the Casket of Ancient Winters. Thor loses it. He flips a giant table and demands retaliation. Odin says no and reminds him that he is not king yet.Thor says “heard that” and immediately travels through a portal to confront the Frost Giants himself. A fight breaks out. Loki discovers that the Frost Giants can’t harm him — his skin even turns blue like theirs. Odin shows up, stops the battle, apologizes to the Frost Giant king, and brings everyone home.Odin is furious with Thor. He strips him of his powers and banishes him to Earth, where he crash-lands in the desert and gets hit by a car — bringing us back to the beginning.Thor wakes up acting completely unhinged (by Earth standards), so the locals tase him and take him to the hospital. He escapes, only for Jane to hit him with her car again. They start spending time together and discover a mysterious “satellite crash.” Thor immediately knows it’s his hammer.Unfortunately, the area is now under government control. Thor still tries to retrieve the hammer, but fails — he can’t lift it.Back in Asgard, Thor’s friends suspect Loki has been up to no good. Loki confronts Odin and learns the truth: he isn’t Asgardian a
