| + | '''{{C|Africa|ua}}''' is a continent on the planet Earth as seen in {{ua2}}. The film only shows the two nations {{C|Wakanda|ua}} and {{C|Egypt|ua}}. The film was released before the introduction of {{C|Black Panther|ua}} and Wakanda in the ''Ultimate'' [[Marvel Comics]] line, so is based on the original Earth-616 continuity. |
||
| − | '''{{tta}}''' is the eighth and final film from [[Marvel Animation]] and [[Lions Gate Home Entertainment]]. The feature was written by [[Craig Kyle]] and [[Greg Johnson]] while directed by [[Sam Liu]]. It was produced before {{ph}} but not released until May 17, 2011 to coincide with the live-action film. It serves as a prequel to {{hvt}} and {{aemh}}. Although there is a comic series called ''Thor: Tales of Asgard'', the story is inspired by the series ''Thor: Son of Asgard'' and is a spiritual successor to the teenager-centric {{naht}}. |
||
| + | Long ago, an enormous mountain-sized {{C|meteorite|ua}} of pure {{C|vibranium|ua}} crashed into Africa. Humans settled on top of the meteorite calling the land Wakanda, discovered the vibranium, and began mining and refining it. They became very powerful and were never invaded. At the same time, humans settled in a desert region called Egypt and built the {{C|Pyramids of Giza|ua}}. An alien race known as the {{C|Chitauri|ua}} tracked the meteorite to Earth. |
||
| − | Thor fights the {{C|Einherjar|tta}} in, unbeknownst to him, staged fights so that he cannot lose. His brother {{C|Loki|tta}} praises him, though his girlfriend {{C|Sif|tta}} berates him feeling she is the only one telling him the truth. Thor asks his father {{C|Odin|tta}} to leave {{C|Asgard|tta}} but is refused and told the truth of his training. He goes to the armory to take a sword and talks to {{C|Algrim|tta}}, the Dark Elf advisor to Odin. He says he wants to head to {{C|Jotunheim|tta}} find {{C|Elderstahl|tta}}, the legendary Sword of {{C|Surtur|tta}}, to test his manhood. Algrim warns against it but lets him go. Thor interrupts Loki and {{C|Amora|tta}} and takes his brother aboard the ''{{C|Thunder Runner|tta}}'', the ship of the {{C|Warriors Three|tta}}. They head to an inn where Thor's brashness causes a fight to break out with Fenris and the inn to burn. The five Asgardians head to Jotunheim to being the quest. |
||
| + | The Chitauri came to Earth and infiltrated Germany. During {{C|World War II|ua}}, the Chituari leader known as {{C|Herr Kleiser|ua}} led a group of Chitauri into Wakanda. He spoke to King Azzari the Wise speaking of peace. However, he attacked the nation to steal the meteorite. The Wakandans shot down the {{C|Chitauri Ship|ua|Chitauri ship}} and drove the aliens out. They then used the ship as a power source. The incident made the nation extremely xenophobic, becoming distrustful of any outside person and even Wakandans who left the country. |
||
| − | Odin worries about his sons but Algrim comforts him, having been a father before his people were killed. Later, the {{C|Asgard Pub Owner|tta|inn owner}} tells Odin about his place. The five get to Jotunheim and trek the frozen realm. After remembering their father's stories, Thor and Loki find the sword. They head towards {{C|Kona Lifandi|tta}}, where Sif is training with {{C|Brunhilde|tta}} and the {{C|Valkyries|tta}}, to find {{C|Pegasus|tta|transportation}} home. On the way they are caught by the {{C|Frost Giant|tta}}s. In the confusion, Thor uses Elderstahl to destroy the bridge connecting Jotunheim to {{C|Yggdrasill|tta}} and kills two sentries. Thor becomes horrified of the sword's powers. |
||
| + | When Azzari's son {{C|T'Chaka|ua}} took over as king, he began preparations for another invasion by the Chitauri. He sent his son {{C|T'Challa|ua}} away to learn the ways of the outside world. T'Chaka also built high-tech weapons and defenses while even having the occasional contact with {{C|Nick Fury|ua}} of {{C|S.H.I.E.L.D.|ua}} in {{C|New York City|ua}}. He kept an eye on the events in the United States after hearing that the Chitauri had returned but were defeated by the {{C|Avengers|ua}} led by WWII hero {{C|Captain America|ua}}. When T'Challa returned, so did the Chitauri. T'Chaka became Black Panther and fought Kleiser but was killed. |
||
| − | King {{C|Thrym|tta}} and Prince {{C|Geirmarr|tta}} hear about the killings and lead the Jotun army to war in retaliation against Asgard. Odin tries to stop the battle and Thrym gives him time to find Thor so the Jotuns can take Elderstahl. Thor and the others are captured by the Valkyries. Before they can be executed, Frost Giants attack. In the battle, Brunhilde lets the men go and releases Sif realizing she still loves Thor. In {{C|Svartalfheim|tta}}, Algrim tells {{C|Ander|tta}} about the war between his people and the Jotuns, and how his family died. The Einherjar find Thor and Algrim takes Elderstahl. However, the sword corrupts him. He blames Odin for not helping the elves but killing Surtur, which allowed the Jotuns to exterminate the elves. Algirm kills Ander and the Einherjar then flies to Asgard. The others follow. |
||
| + | T'Challa took the throne and mantle of Black Panther. He contacted Captain America and Nick Fury, but got no information on how to destroy Kleiser. The Avengers infiltrated Wakanda to find the Chitauri and were found by Black Panther. He took Captain America into the city and explained their history with the aliens. The other Avengers were discovered and though Black Panther ordered them gone the tribal elders stripped T'Challa of his royal powers. After being tricked by Kleiser, the Avenger's were nearly killed by the {{C|Chitauri Command Ship|ua}}, which then settled over Wakanda and began a siege of the planet focusing on Wakanda. While his people fought the aliens, T'Challa contacted Fury explaining why the aliens were on Earth. The Avengers appeared and helped fend off the Chitauri. They destroyed the command ship while Black Panther and Captain America trapped Kleiser in vibranium. The Avengers returned to New York while T'Challa's powers were restored. |
||
| − | Algrim attacks Odin, who uses his spear {{C|Gungnir|tta}}, and nearly defeats him. When the time is up, the Frost Giants attack Asgard believing that they are purposely keeping Elderstahl. Thor and the others arrive and try to stop them. Sif and the Warriors Three fend off the Jotuns while Thor and Loki help their father. Thor uses Gungnir to attack his former friend and eventually defeats him. In his rage, Loki uses Elderstahl to kill Algrim. Thor quickly takes the sword and hands it over to Thrym and Geirmarr. He also gives himself up so that the war will stop. Thrym takes the sword and orders his army to leave. Appreciating Thor's sacrifice, Thrym and later Odin forgive him. Loki remains tortured by his actions. The Warriors Three finally have some true stories to tell, having stolen all their previous stories. Sif thanks Thor for helping her get into the Einherjar and the two make up. |

| − | The video was not as well received as as previous the previous films from Marvel. Critics felt it was a step down from previous efforts such as {{hv}} and {{ph}}. Like {{iim}}, many complained that it was a noticeably inferior effort to the concurrent live action film. Many critics felt it was too episodic, as if designed for television. Many did not care for how Thor did not become the hero he is supposed to be, as if there were more to the story that was not shown. Some noted sexist undertones in the story. The reaction to the animation was mixed with some feeling it was cartoonish while others praised it for its scope and design. Many did enjoy the relationship between Thor and Loki as it made their eventual rivalry more tragic. Some liked that it explored an age of Thor not usually seen and set up many of the characters to be the versions they eventually would be known as. The score was widely praised as being of the movie series' best. |

 Africa is a continent on the planet Earth as seen in Ultimate Avengers II. The film only shows the two nations Wakanda and Egypt. The film was released before the introduction of Black Panther and Wakanda in the Ultimate Marvel Comics line, so is based on the original Earth-616 continuity. Long ago, an enormous mountain-sized meteorite of pure vibranium crashed into Africa. Humans settled on top of the meteorite calling the land Wakanda, discovered the vibranium, and began mining and refining it. They became very powerful and were never invaded. At the same time, humans settled in a desert region called Egypt and built the Pyramids of Giza. An alien race known as the Chitauri tracked the meteorite to Earth. The Chitauri came to Earth and infiltrated Germany. During World War II, the Chituari leader known as Herr Kleiser led a group of Chitauri into Wakanda. He spoke to King Azzari the Wise speaking of peace. However, he attacked the nation to steal the meteorite. The Wakandans shot down the Chitauri ship and drove the aliens out. They then used the ship as a power source. The incident made the nation extremely xenophobic, becoming distrustful of any outside person and even Wakandans who left the country. When Azzari's son T'Chaka took over as king, he began preparations for another invasion by the Chitauri. He sent his son T'Challa away to learn the ways of the outside world. T'Chaka also built high-tech weapons and defenses while even having the occasional contact with Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York City. He kept an eye on the events in the United States after hearing that the Chitauri had returned but were defeated by the Avengers led by WWII hero Captain America. When T'Challa returned, so did the Chitauri. T'Chaka became Black Panther and fought Kleiser but was killed. T'Challa took the throne and mantle of Black Panther. He contacted Captain America and Nick Fury, but got no information on how to destroy Kleiser. The Avengers infiltrated Wakanda to find the Chitauri and were found by Black Panther. He took Captain America into the city and explained their history with the aliens. The other Avengers were discovered and though Black Panther ordered them gone the tribal elders stripped T'Challa of his royal powers. After being tricked by Kleiser, the Avenger's were nearly killed by the Chitauri Command Ship, which then settled over Wakanda and began a siege of the planet focusing on Wakanda. While his people fought the aliens, T'Challa contacted Fury explaining why the aliens were on Earth. The Avengers appeared and helped fend off the Chitauri.
