The Valkyrior (MCU Thor/Worm)

This. His patronizing and scientifically bogus speech about the nature of how we use brains to a college level audience was cringe-worthy.
You realize he is explaining things to the movie audience right? Most of whom are not college educated or know anything about the topic.
 
You are ignoring content by this member.
I still think of it as "The story of how a girl overdosed on drugs and somehow became a USB stick"
 
What kind of sci-fi thingamaboobie would you all rather prefer to had been used? I'm leaning towards room temperature superconductors in the brain and nanomachines.
 
To be fair, this is pretty much the response to any question of "can X person take..." where a team with the Big Green is involved. Even when said X refers to things like Galactus.
From one point of view, Taylor might be one of the few people capable of dealing with the Hulk.

"Wait, he gets stronger the angrier he gets, but Banner doesn't want to be the Hulk? Why don't we just, I don't know, leave him the fuck alone?"
 
Lucy is the story of taking bad acid and turning into Dr. Manhattan. Arguing that the science is bad when even in movie people have no clue what's happening is stupid.
 
Meh. She's welcome to it. I don't know if anyone noticed, but the Nine Realms kind of suck. Earth isn't bad, Asgard is pretty cool, but the rest of the Nine Realms look like shitholes. :p

I got the feeling that all of Asgard was stolen/conquered property. Those ruins in the lands of the frost giants and some of Asgard look pretty similar. Plus Odin was a jackass stealing a baby and letting him think he's your son and has a chance at the throne, yeah Thor and Asgard are great.
 
Loki and Taylor together planning? Oh boy and I just made the last payment on my house.:cry:

Loki - I will never prove to father that I am worthy of ruling at all. He dotes on my brother constantly. I am always second place to him!
Taylor - So? Odin's a prick, your brother is a Jock... you ever stop to think maybe he is trying to teach your brother something? Something that you already understand.
Loki - Oh like the divine right to rule through smashing things? Thor learned that instantly.
Taylor - You're not getting it. Thor only thinks with his little hammer. He doesn't plan, he doesn't think ahead. He doesn't care about regular people.
Loki - Yes we have established that my brother is oh so perfect.
Taylor - So... what does Odin really do? What is his function among the 9 realms?
Loki - He keeps the peace and maintains order.
Taylor - Part of that is having a big stick to smash anyone who gets out of line. Odin has some pretty big sticks to use and so he can tailor his response to the situation at hand. But... and heres the big point. You cant always just smash people down and get your way. Sometimes you have to talk to them. Sometimes you have to give to others rather than just take. So if Odin is trying to groom Thor to be king, then it stands to reason that he is trying to teach Thor those lessons.
Loki - But Thor will never learn them. He is too arrogant. Too full of himself to ever see.
Taylor - Then when he fails, and he will. Odin will just have to give him a harder lesson.
Loki - ...
Frigga - I like her. You should take her someplace nice. *Saunters Away*
Taylor - Who was that?
Loki - ... my mother. *Blushes*
Taylor - Oh god... *Embarasement*

He's the ruler of an entire nation that loathes and detests frost giants on general principles, and he adopted* one as his son. That's actually pretty cool when you think about it. We can call him Socially Conscious Odin when it becomes a meme.

* It's not necessarily theft if, as is strongly implied, the baby had been left to die of exposure**. There's possibly some cultural imperialism issues here, but given that Asgard is running an actual empire that's fairly hard to get away from.

** Can jotuns even die of exposure? If not, insert local gribbly monster here.

The thing is Loki is supposed to be the child of an a fair between Odin and a frost giant woman. So little baby Loki abandoned was MCU deciding they didn't want that mess in their movie so just threw a baby at Odin and hoped it stuck.
 
I had to doctor it up a little (above the breasts) and change her hair from white to brown, but I couldn't figure out how to flatten her breasticles so it's not totally how I'd like it. :p

I've just been going with the assumption that once Taylor learned how to dispel her armor and sword, she was all 'Thanks, but Imma use my spidersilk suit. Kthnxbai.'

Perhaps Asgard figured out how to put some shield emitters in the breastplate, so that it really doesn't matter what shape the plate is because until the shield is broken you cant penetrate it, and the forces necessary to break the shield are such that if the shield was down, no amount of metallurgy or shape would really help anyway.

Did I just make Boob Plates somewhat believable?

"And if he ever flips out anyway, why the hell is operating procedures to make him more angry, with ineffectual but irritating attacks? Why isn't it to toss him a bunch of cakes, or whatever food he likes, and maybe if we are ready to do slightly illegal things, use gas bombs with concentrated Weed smoke?"

If you are talking about Movieverse Loki I disagree. Even mythological Loki I disagree to a point.
Myth Loki is an ass, but the rest of the Myth Asgardians are even worse asses to him in the end.
Imprisoning him? Forever fair enough.
Making a snake drip super corrosive acid on his head for said forever? Rather vindictive but still within somewhat sane retribution.
Taking his two sons, turning one of them into a wolf, and making him kill the other one, then using his dead sons entrails to chain him to the wall? Yeah they pretty much deserve Ragnarok for that, now if they could just leave the other eight realms out of it it would be perfectly alright with me.

Because they think they can win.

We know they can't, but we have meta-knowledge.

They want to protect their people. The Hulk is big and scary and he does a lot of property damage. He's like a natural disaster, like a hurricane or tsunami, except that you can hear him smash through the street as you cower is the basement, holding your daughter, whispering quietly, hoping that the Hulk doesn't decide to walk through your house. You can hear him mumble broken phrases of caveman-speak. His roars make the Earth tremble.

The Hulk just wanders around the country. He walks from place to place. He can pop up anywhere, in any state or city or even country. He can just show up and wreck the place.

And the government is suppose to just let him do it? Not even try to stop him from going off on whatever pissed off Bruce Banner this time? Make it government policy? How is any self-respecting army officer supposed to look his/her family in the eyes when he's/she's allowing a monster to roam free?

Not to mention, the army are responsible for the Hulk's creation. They made him.

The army thinks they can win against the Hulk. They have the best weapons in the world, the best technology, the best everything. They believe in their men, in the engineers that support them, in the goodness of their cause. They are the wall that stands between men and monsters. Their arms are strong, and they forged of their will and determination a righteous sword.

Guns don't do it? Try grenades. Try tanks. Try air strikes. Try everything! MORE DAKKA!

If you believe in yourself and your friends, if you work together, nothing is impossible.

Except winning against the Hulk using the Army. No matter how many friends you have, or how well you work together, that's actually impossible. :D

Anyone notice in The Incredible Hulk, when he got really pissed while fighting the Abomination, not long before the "Hulk Smash!" that the MCU version of The Hulk actually got bigger? I mean he actually grew, when he was both getting his ass kicked and Betty was endangered.

I noticed that earlier today, it was awesome.
