  • the gods live inside a CGI pipe,

  • and the only way in or out is through the Rainbow Road level from Mario Kart.

  • But Thor isn’t the only god in town...

  • Meet Loki, Thor’s evil stepbrother, who will stop at nothing to betray

  • in order to betray his real father

  • "And your death came with the son of Odin."

  • "You're no match for the mighty --"

  • good looks that just happens to be single

  • and who immediately falls in love with Thor for no good reason.
