13The story: Odin and his sons Thor and Balder are called to the cave of the Norns to learn [[Film/ApocalypseNow Ragnarok]] is upon them and that [[BigBad Loki]] wants [[MacGuffin the Hammer of Invincibility]] to kick-start it. A bunch of {{Fight Scene}}s ensue, and then Odin hurls the Hammer of Invincibility away before Loki kills him. As Thor and a {{Valkyrie|s}} named Jarnsaxa race to retrieve the hammer, Loki is hot on their tails. The battle comes to a head in Midgard (a.k.a. UsefulNotes/LosAngeles) as Thor and Loki face off with the fate of the world in the balance.

17!! ''Almighty Thor'' provides examples of:
18* AbledInTheAdaptation: Odin, of all people, has two fully functional eyes, where in myth (and in ''Franchise/TheMightyThor'', which more closely inspired this film) he only has one.
19%%* ActionGirl: Jarnsaxa. ZERO CONTEXT EXAMPLE
20* AntiHero: Jarnsaxa is [[spoiler:willing to let Loki destroy LA to protect Thor and the hammer, with the justification that as long as the tree of life lives everything can be rebuilt]].
21* ApocalypseHow: Planetary scope, thanks to Loki unleashing Ragnarok, an apocalyptic storm readt to wipe out all life on earth. [[spoiler:The universe gets better, thanks to Thor]]. PARTIAL CONTEXT EXAMPLE
22%% * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Norns. ZERO CONTEXT EXAMPLE
23* CoversAlwaysLie: The hammer pictured on the DVD cover doesn't look anything like the Hammer of Invincibility or [[spoiler:the hammer that Thor forges to defeat Loki]].
24%% * DullSurprise: ''Everyone''. ZERO CONTEXT EXAMPLE
25* {{Hellhound}}: Loki has a whole army of ''giant'' hellhounds. [[UglyCute They're kind of cute]].
26* HumongousHeadedHammer: Thor swings a warhammer with a disproportionately massive head as a weapon. After losing his hammer to his evil brother Loki, Thor managed to forge a battleax-warhammer combo whose head is even bigger (and depicted on the poster art).
27%%* IdiotHero: Thor certainly comes off this way. ZERO CONTEXT EXAMPLE
28%%* LooksLikeCesare: Loki. ZERO CONTEXT EXAMPLE
29* MacGuffin: The Hammer of Invincibility, forged by Odin's father from the Tree of Life.
30* TheMockbuster: This film was released around the time of Marvel's ''Thor'' and was clearly trying to capitalize on it.
31* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Thor and Loki are so powerful their FinalBattle causes mass destruction just from the shockwaves.]]
32%%* SadlyMythtaken: The film is a weird mix of Myth/NorseMythology and Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}}'s ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' comic. PARTIAL CONTEXT EXAMPLE
33* ScrewDestiny: Thor believes this, [[spoiler: even going so far as to smash the loom of the Fates in the end]]. Everyone else in Asgard thinks Ragnarok is a ForegoneConclusion.
34%%* WorldTree
