Frost Fight! (2015)



Marvel Super-Hero Adventures: Frost Fight!

In short form Loki and Frost Giant Ymir scheme to rule over realms, by plunging the worlds into an ice age?  Loki's lineage is that he is the crown prince of Jotunheim, biological son to King Laufey. In a ploy seen in the original motion picture, to rule Asgard and gain the thrown, Loki tricked Laufey into Asgard in a devised coup to kill Odin in his chamber, but killed his father for what I can surmise as a shame or disenchanted view of his true  origins.  So in his blue skin appearance in a frosted cave in the presence of Ymir, Loki appears unbothered by the cold temperature and can rule a kingdom in ice.

Long form the movie opens up in Monuriki Island, a very small uninhabited island from the islands of Fiji.  Tom Hanks movie Castaway was shot there. The plan was Ymir to arrive on the island and unleash the Casket of Ancient Winters on earth. By being in a small desolate pocket on earth, finding and arriving to the point on the planet that would create the ice age would garner the heroes to be too late to stop it and undo the damage.  The avengers did however arrive before the casket could be opened, and Tony Stark questioned in their battle of why a frost giant is standing his ground continuing to fight back where the environment he is in averages  30*C/ 25*F in the month of December, a place that never sees snow. Thor does state Ymir comes from Nifelheim a realm of mist/fog, but is perceived as a cold landscape.  The avengers bring on a trainee named Reptil to observe the team work.  Captain America has him moved out of the battle area and scout the perimeter.   Reptil soon spots Loki to whom after being discovered plots a quick escape and conjures a dimensional black hole sucking the contents of the island and any inhabitants into it.  Captain Marvel and Captain America mange to separate the Casket of Ancient Winters just before Ymir gets pulled into the vortex and finally sealing the inter dimensional rift.
Next we see the villains regroup in a frost cave, Ymir suggest if they stealing the ancient powers of Jolnir a mythic character that is half frost giant and half elf that can bend time and space among other gifts not yet discovered.  They could accomplish their goal of domination.  According to Ymir if they upsurp the Casket of Ancient Powers an item that also exists in Jolnir’s realm they can transfer Jolnir’s powers into Loki.   The duo would need to travel to Alfheim – home of the light elves.   Just before they make there way, Loki decides to keep the avengers busy, he travels to a realm where dinosaur like creatures roam the planet and drops a triceratops like creature in downtown Manhattan Island.


In recourse of distraction, Reptil transforming his appearance to a dinosaur to stops the triceratops; thinking she has found her young and becomes docile. They suspect Loki is up to something, meanwhile in the realms of space Loki has put out a large bounty for the capture of Jolnir. That posting grabs the attention of Rocket and Groot, just months before they were destined to join the Guardians of the Galaxy.  Thor Returns to earth after securing the Casket of Ancient Winters in Odins vault, and reports the bounty of Jolnir, and begins to laugh it off as Jolnir on Midgard is referred to as Santa Claus.
