“Yeah, that was basically, we did about six different versions of that story, and that was just us standing around while the cameras were rolling and I would just feed them lines and feed Chris ideas for stories. I’d say, “Do another one, in this one say: ‘I was walking through a field, and I saw a lovey Turkish rug in the middle of the grass, and I love Turkish rugs, so I went to stand on it, and it was Loki, and he turned back into Loki and there was a hole and I fell through the hole was was impaled on a whole lot of spikes.’” So we did versions of that, and the one with the snake just ended up being the one we used.”
I love this moment because it just speaks to Thor’s personality: he’s in an unfamiliar place, he’s lost his hammer, he has no idea what the word “Facebook” means but a lady says “smile” and he just goes for it. This adorably narcissistic cutie.
