Assisted by Odin's advisor, the Dark Elf Algrim, Thor and Loki follow the legendary Warriors Three (Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun) on one of their famous adventures - only to quickly discover that the boastful trio have in fact earned their fame on empty boasts, rather than actual adventuring. To that end, he sets off with Loki to recover the legendary Lost Sword of Surtur, whose flame burns hot enough to destroy even the frigid frost giants of Jotunheim. Thor decides that he doesn't want to live a coddled life anymore, and that he wants to truly prove himself in battle. Conflict ensues on the day that young warrior maiden Sif whips Thor's butt in a impromptu sparring match, revealing to the arrogant prince that his battle skills aren't as great as he thought, and that his position as prince keeps him in a bubble where he is coddled rather than properly instructed in the art of battle. Loki spends his days trying to better his mind and his mastery of magic, while Thor spars with the best warriors of Asgard, developing his skills in battle. This animated adventure takes us back to the teenage years of Thor and his brother Loki, back when the two sons of Odin were still being groomed to one day compete for the throne of Asgard. Thoris more popular than ever, thanks to a his smash-hit blockbuster movie (read our review HERE), and Marvel is capitalizing on that momentum by launching a multi-media campaign for the character, including Marvel Animation's feature-length film, Thor: Tales of Asgard, which serves as a quasi-prequel to the movie.īut is Tales of Asgard a worthy continuation of the mythos established in the Thor movie, or a cartoon that only kids will enjoy? Short answer: it's a little bit of both.
