"His power is all, and he keeps the Asgardian realm safe." "But once each winter, the All-Father must rest and enter the Odinsleep." "While Odin slumbers, his absence leaves Asgard vulnerable... and this is when the wicked descend upon his kingdom." "[#]" "Charge!" "[YELLING]" "[ALL GRUNTING]" "For seven days, an onslaught of trolls, giants, dark elves and demons seek to take control of the Nine Worlds." "But they are eternally defeated by him."

"You have been brought to Asgard because in all the universe, only you have ever brought near defeat to the Mighty Thor." "[WHIMPERING SOFTLY]" "What?" "I-I" " I couldn't."

"Tell us, Volstagg, are you going to dispatch that troll beneath you or are you saving him for dinner?" "[GRUNTS]" "That all depends on how much mead I partake in." "Did my ears deceive me?" "Did Hogun the Grim make a joke?" "And here we thought you were still in a foul mood because you didn't get to slay a frost giant." "I've still slain more than thee, Fandral." "But we shall see whom the maidens reward more." "[LAUGHING]" "[CHUCKLING]" "[CHUCKLES QUIETLY]" "In mere hours, the All-Father will wake, and then we may rejoice." "[#]" "The Lady Sif would know what vexes thee." "Aye." "We won the day." "All is well in the realm of Asgard, but only until the next Odinsleep." "It is as it has always been." "We must learn to savor the moments of peace." "And accept the cycle of death?" "How many of our brothers and sisters have fallen to this madness?" "Must we be chained to this eternal struggle?" "Be careful what you wish for, my love, for when the cycle does break, when things do change, then comes the end of days." "Then comes Ragnarok." "Perhaps our fates are not ours to choose." "But come." "Let us return to my father's palace and prepare for his awakening." "[#]" "Please, I'm begging you." "Don't do this." "I've fought all my life to keep the Hulk inside."

"HELA:" "This soul is too dangerous to keep in Hel and too valuable to lose to Valhalla." "I will return him to Midgard." "[SPITS]" "Enough of this ridiculousness." "To think that Loki, prince of darkness, should waste his time with defending Asgard." "Nay, brother!" "We leave together, for you still have much to answer for." "Indeed, you both do." "For today, Hela has relinquished a soul, and she demands one in exchange." "You may try to take my soul, death goddess, but I will make you fight for it." "And your realm has suffered much already this day." "HELA:" "You speak the truth." "So I shall take his soul instead." "What?" "[WHIMPERING]" "Thor." "Thor!" "I helped you." "I" "[MUFFLED YELLING]" "I could fight you for Loki's soul." "Will you?" "No." "He is my father." "His stay will not be eternal." "But know this, Odinson." "Your soul will be mine." "And I will keep it forever." "Your fate is inescapable." "We shall see." "[#]" "Thus, the cycle begins anew." "Asgard is safe once again, defended to the end by its heroes." "I am proud of each of you that stand before me." "The day was saved by loyalty and sacrifice." "We honor those who fought beside us, those who are no longer with us." "And we defy those who would see us brought to ruin." "And while the rewards of Valhalla await all of Asgard's heroes, this day we honor a hero of Midgard." "A mortal who sacrificed everything for a land not his own." "This day, a human showed the gods what legends are made of." "Hail the mortal, Bruce Banner." "[#]" "Subtitles by LeapinLar"
