Frozen / Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers
Mar. 29th, 2014 08:43 pmTwo moves in one post! What a deal!
I finally saw Frozen. I was dragging my feet because, for reasons I didn't remember, I thought I would dislike it. Part of it is that I don't like this new style animation all movies are in nowadays (computer animation AND YOU KIDS GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN), but the rest? Who knows.
Turns out I liked it quite a bit. The music was some of the best ever in a Disney movie. The snowman was annoying, but the Internet had been telling me how annoying he was for months now, so I was expecting it; in truth, I had heard so much bad I was expecting him to be worse. I found him to be no different than the "funny" sidekick characters Disney always shoehorns into movies.
While poking around Netflix for something to watch tonight, I found Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers. Based on nothing other than the title, I checked it out. First thing I encountered was this image I've loved forever:
Turns out the movie is based on that comic book! Next thing I noticed was how god-awful the animation was, but a quick check of the wiki said it was a "motion comic" movie, not animated. That made more sense, and other than closeups of faces, the style mostly worked.
The story was great! I LOVED the ending to pieces!
Loki, trapped by fate ('fate' is kind of shorthand for it), had to live the same life and experience the same end as every other Loki in every other world/universe/reality!
And Thor killed him! I was not at all expecting that! What a great, wonderful, horrible shock! :D
I reeeeally didn't like how Loki was drawn. He looked like an ugly old man with horrible teeth:
Though the frost giants were ugly and had horrible teeth, so I suppose they wanted to bring traits of that in. I don't need my Loki to be a sex god (but hey, if you're offering...), but I don't like him to be too ugly, either. (Theanimation motion comic style only made it worse.)
Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers is free on Netflix and likely other places. It's very much worth watching!
