Episode 310 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast takes a look at Thor, the 2011 Marvel Studios movie that introduced Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Tom Clark and Phil look back at Thor's banishment to Earth, his relationship with Odin and Loki, his quest to become worthy of Mjölnir, and the events that set up his place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

They also get into the long road it took to bring Thor to the big screen, Kenneth Branagh's Shakespearean approach to the material, the casting of Hemsworth, Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins, and the movie's connections to Norse mythology. Tom and Phil look back at this movie's place in Marvel's Phase One, Loki's importance to The Avengers, and whether this first Thor movie still holds up more than 15 years later. Is Thor the most tragic character in the MCU? Dive into that and a lot more!
