Thor: The Dark Weed

Travel to Asgard on this week's new episode of The Lettuce Podcast! Laura and Charlotte review the second film in the Thor branch of the MCU, Thor: The Dark World. They discuss the film's flimsy plot, how it fits into the MCU story arc, which characters actually get development, and more. Laura points out issues with story telling and the films length, and shares her feelings on Jane's lack of character in the film. Charlotte discusses Malekith's underwhelming presence as a villain, and champions Loki as the films most entertaining character. Together the girls celebrate Frigga's badass combat skills, appreciate Darcy as comic relief, and agree that the all-star cast did the best they could. Who is the real main chracter of Thor: The Dark World? Is Darcy a better romantic match for Thor? And is this the worst film in the MCU canon? All this and most is discussed on this week's episode.

To counteract this underwhelming film, Laura and Charlotte play two of their favorite games in the Fun & Games segment: Marvel Madlibs and Alphabet sentence. Nothing livens up a dull movie than using silly words to describe the action!

For this week's cocktail, Laura made a Thor's Hammer. There are several recipes for this beverage, with a range of ingredients, available online. If you'd like to try this vodka-based one click here!
