man Thor is so cool but is any kind of
overpowered I mean it seems like he's
never met a problem he couldn't Hammer
until it went away hasn't he ever
struggled well my sweet little sailor on
the Seas of myth oh history the answer
is no not really but this one time kind
of a little bit from a certain point of
view our story begins with Thor and Loki
travelling to visit the confusingly
named yotan king of Qarth loki no
relation to regular loki for unspecified
reasons but not before a quick side trip
where they grab dinner with a local
peasant family unsurprisingly the
family's not super well equipped to feed
Thor but luckily Thor always keeps an
emergency snack on his person for just
such an occasion by which I mean he
slaughters one of his chariot pulling
goats for the peasants but tells him to
save the bones and wrap them in the skin
overnight since it'll let him bring the
goat back to life in the morning which
kind of implies he does this a lot
that's got to be rough on the goat they
share a hearty meal but the peasants son
Theo fee cracks open one of the goat
bones for that tasty marrow you know I
never saw the appeal it's just like goop
blood producing goop that feels like the
ickiest part of the animal okay never
mind point is the bone is broken so the
next day when Thor resurrects the goat
it's acquired a sudden limp Thor is
pretty cranky but his payment for the
goat at the peasant offers him his
children see Alfie and Razvi has a
service and Thor seems to consider this
a decent trade so he mellows out and
they move on so Thor and Loki plus these
two random kids continue on their way
resting for the night in a weird cave
like building they find in the middle of
the woods
but when the Sun rises and they head
outside they find the biggest giant
they've ever seen sleeping nearby this
giant is named screamer which they learn
when he wakes up greets them and asked
them what they were doing inside his
empty glove that's a big dude so they
have breakfast together and screamer
offers to carry their food for them and
when they rest for the night he tells
Thor II can take whatever food he wants
from his bag this is pretty nice of him
but somehow the bag is tied way too
tightly to the point that not even Thor
can open it Thor is already pretty
hangry so he doesn't take this very well
and Wallops the sleeping screamer in the
head instead of the anticipated outcome
aka screamer dying he wakes up asks if a
leaf landed on his head
and goes back to sleep that's already a
pretty sizable blow to the ego but to
make things worse screamer's snores like
a continental subduction and Thor tries
hitting him two more times throughout
the night with just as little effect
one very sleepless night later screamer
tells the gang they should probably turn
back and abandon their journey to see
útgarða-loki but if they're determined
to visit him they definitely shouldn't
brag about their abilities
because not only is Edgard Loki even
bigger and stronger than screamers so
are all of his things and they
definitely won't be impressed but that
screamer leaves and the gang continues
to útgarða-loki because Odin didn't
raise no quitter but he definitely
raised a fool or two so the gang arrives
at the fortress about guard Loki which
is unsurprisingly really really big to
accommodate the really big giants that
live there continuing the humiliation
conga line Thor finds the massive gate
is too heavy for him to open but on the
plus side there are comparatively small
enough to fit between the bars so they
get in and approach the truly enormous
útgarða-loki Utgard loki is unimpressed
as screamer suggested he would be and
tells the gang that he doesn't let just
anyone stay at his fortress Holly's
visitors need to be very exceptional in
at least one way so if they want to stay
they're gonna need to prove themselves
so Loki steps up all like you won't
exception a nut guard Loki's like
unorthodox display of hubris but very
well and brings out the also confusingly
named Loki not to be confused with
either of the Loki's in this story and
sets up a big trough full of meat for
the two of them to go at Loki and Loki
demolished the trough with terrifying
efficiency and meet in the middle but
where Loki effectively ate all the meat
off the bones on his side Loki ate the
meat the bones and the trough Logie won
Loki zero so next up the Alfie says he's
the fastest runner he knows and I guard
Loki's like challenge accepted and calls
up this guy huger huger and the Alfie
race but Hyuga keeps beating him by
ridiculously wide margins the one guard
Loki does admit the off he's the best
runner they've had in a while Yugi won
the Alfie zero rasca I guess doesn't
want to participate in this hammer scape
measuring contest so next up is Thor who
says he'd like to participate in a
contest of drinking humber and I like it
so what guard Loki pulls out a big
drinking horn and tells Thor that most
of his Thane's can finish it in one
drink the rest take - and nobody's
pathetic enough to need three so Thor
takes the biggest swig he can manage and
barely makes a dent
- Hardy swings later the levels visibly
lowered but he's nowhere near finished
Thor zero drinking horn one an ungodly
key asks if he wants to try something
else instead
so a card look he's like well I never
would have suggested this to the Mighty
Thor if he hadn't just proved himself to
be a colossal
but how would you like to try picking up
my cat so Thor tries to pick up the cute
kitty but it does that cat thing where
it goes all liquid it just stretches and
stretches so by the time Thor's got it
all the way over his head only one of
its paws is off the ground
Thor zero cat one so by now Thor has had
a really trying day
he's hungry he's cranky he's embarrassed
and he really wants to fight something
so for his final challenge he asks to
wrestle someone and the bad day gets
worst when at guard Loki brings out a
Dominion of old lady as a sparring
partner and takes a dive into terrible
territory when she kicks his ass
Thor zero grandma one so what guard Loki
stops the match and offers the gang
hospitality even though they lost every
challenge I guess their sheer
protagonist II gumption impressed him or
maybe it's just regular pity they eat
drink party and sleep and the next day
útgarða-loki escorts them outside the
fortress to see them off and privately
says look guys I'm gonna level with you
you're never coming back here because I
seriously underestimated you and you
nearly ruined everything so basically
after Loki is a huge prankster and
powerful illusion is to just kind of
want to just screw with them by giving
them impossible tasks they were
guaranteed to fail out which is a pretty
classic fairy tale format but thorn is
so freakin powerful that he kept nearly
killing him or destroying very important
parts of the planet in his efforts to
succeed the trouble started when
screamer found them in the woods perhaps
unsurprisingly screamer was at guard
Loki in disguise and he casts some
illusions on Thor's so when he tried to
hit him in the head he was hitting
nearby mountains instead incidentally
leaving huge squared off valleys
werevery swung already pretty unsettling
for the trickster the ravenous Logie
that managed to audi loki was actually a
raging wildfire and the speedster that
beat the Elfie at a footrace was the
personification of thought both
obviously unbeatable in their respective
fields
the drinking horn Thor failed to empty
was actually connected to the ocean
which is clearly undrinkable but through
his valiant efforts to get drunk he
managed to lower the world's water level
several feet this is the first time at
guard Loki was like oh balls I might be
in over my head that caddy couldn't pick
up was his legendary enemy your Mangano
the Midgard serpent and the fact that he
managed to dislodge even one paw was
very very dangerous for the integrity of
the world overall and the old woman who
beat his ass was old age and the fact he
managed to fight her even a little was
pants drowning the freaky for all
occurred Loki so with that cat out of
the bag útgarða-loki tells them to never
come back because thor is just way too
Opie and if they try he'll protect his
castle with more illusions and make it
totally find them Thor reacts by pulling
out Mjolnir to beat some catharsis out
of him
which point out guard Loki in the castle
both vanish and that's the story of how
Thor had a very embarrassing long
weekend full of failure and
disappointment but somehow came out of
it cooler and more validated in the eyes
of both himself and the world cuz he had
a bad day you taking one down you sing a
sad song just to turn it around you say
you don't know you tell me don't lie you
work at a smile and you go for a ride
you had a bad day the camera don't lie
you're coming back down and you really
don't mind you had a bad day
a bad day
