In which Thor is the king, Loki is redeemed, and Baldr leads a revolt to usurp the throne of Asgard.

I'm practising my storyboards, and this is a crossover between a storyboard and comic, due to dialogue bubbles and layout. And as I recently watched both parts of Henry IV, I got heavily inspired by Tom's captivating performance and the whole epic rendition of the story :D

So this idea for Loki's redemption (well, post-redemption) came to my mind - Odin is dead (probably died in some battle a while ago), Loki is reformed and made Crown Prince and heir to the throne by Thor, who is now the king. Meanwhile, Baldr whose mother made every object in the world swear it wouldn't harm her son, leads a rebellion to usurp the throne, since he is invincible in battles. Until Loki cuts a twig of mistletoe...

In this one Thor and Loki have been fighting on two fronts, and Thor arrives to Loki's battlefield to see how his brother is doing.

I'll be doing a few storyboards for this Thor-and-Loki-vs-Baldr scenario, most of them inspired by scenes in Henry IV :D I hope you like them :)

And, by the way - in this version Frigga is not Baldr's mother. Since it didn't seem she was in Thor.

Comments are loved :D

I love how you've drawn Loki in the 3rd panel - a really believable portrayal (and that expression *dead*) Great work!

I have always seen Prince Hal as Loki on earth... How the Hollow crown changed us :)

omg I'm intrigued like f-ck!!! This is a great idea, and would love to see more. And I really dont know why but I hate Baldr, so actually it will be good for me to see him as antagonist:P

Wheee, thank you so much! :glomp: I'm so happy you like it! I plan to make the next one soon. I know, I'm the same about Baldr, too... so don't worry, he gets his mistletoe :D

yiss, go go mistletoe:D Okay, that sounds bad but..ugh. And it's also good you didnt make him be Loki and Thor's brother, that just wouldnt fit it. It's like I heard they would have Tyr in Thor2 (as Thor's bro), and i was like WTF?? And where was he all along when the other two were bickering for the throne? ugh.
Happy to hear you will have a new page to it;)

Oh, yes, I had the same feeling about this, Baldr soo wouldn't work as Thor and Loki's (well, technically just Thor's...) brother, especially not in this scenario =p Oh, that's weird... I hope it's just a rumour! Aww, thanks, I plan to make at least 3 more pages, but they're quite time-consuming, and my exam time is slowly creeping up, so...

yes, i can totally imagine how time-consuming it can be. Comics style always is, and it was a bit surprising to me when I found it out.
well, actually Tyr is in the list on imdb:O
