What’s up with Thor’s vision quest in the pool of water? Baffled.

Posted on by JDBlackrose

I just saw Age of Ultron.  If you have not seen it and don’t want any SPOILERS, do NOT read this post.

I have a major plot question.  What was up with Thor going off to find his scientist friend and then finding some mystic pool of water to understand his vision in?

I. Just. Don’t. Get. It.

One, he said it would be dangerous.  It was so brief that we saw no danger whatsoever.  Two, I thought the whole Asgardian thing wasn’t really magic but technology we couldn’t understand yet. The vision pool thing really has me confused.

It is obvious that there was more to this part of the plot that was filmed and then cut out.  But other than seeing Thor/Chris spring up out of a pool of water, and I’m not saying that isn’t nice, I don’t get this at all.

So, Marvel fans…explain it me.

(And really, he can’t see Jane even for a minute?  I guess Natalie Portman wasn’t available for the movie.  Loved seeing Peggy/Haley though!)

  2. Thanks, Joseph. Someone else said the same thing. But from a storytelling perspective, that was one weird scene.

  3. Agreed, it was a tad ridiculous. I heard he was fighting a lot with the studio about what scenes and how much of them to put in. I read something about them threatening him to take out some of the scenes he thought were important to the film if he didn’t include that bit. Like some of the parts on the farm.

    1. Hi Jason. Yes, I heard an interview in which it was basically choose the farmhouse or choose the vision quest with Thor. He said they sort of “held a gun” to the farmhouse scenes with Hawkeye and his family. I’m wondering if we’ll get an unedited cut later? That would be fun to see.
