Welcome back everyone this is going to be my brand new loki deleted scenes video
they revealed a whole bunch of deleted scenes from episode 5 and from some earlier episodes
involving characters from episode five so we'll break it all down if you're brand new to the
channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos careful for spoilers from loki episode
5 and everything else that's happened on the show so far if you haven't been watching the episodes
but the past few days you probably saw the loki writers of producers have been revealing a bunch
of deleted scenes the biggest one being a deleted scene with loki versus frog thor so in the actual
episode we saw there was a version of frog thor in a jar labeled t-365 as they're sort of going down
into the bunker you see him trapped between layers of dirt trying to escape from his little jar
you see a full-sized version of mjolnir in a whole bunch of lunch trays but that was meant to be a
reference to the events of thor issue 365 which was the big frog thor story this whole easter
egg is based on and the basis of thor's story from thor ragnarok about loki turning him into a frog
that was the whole story that matt damon's fake loki was telling during the play at the beginning
of the movie i'm a trickster yes so mischievous sorry about that time i turned you into a frog
it was a wonderful joke it was indeed hilarious the joke with frog thor in the void is that it's
a version of thor from those events when they were younger where loki never changed him back into his
regular form but instead apparently trapped him in a jar and then they both got pruned by the tva and
sent to the void the loki deleted scene with frog thor vs thor actually was supposed to take place
during episode 1. if you can believe it according to the producers they filmed a scene where mobius
is hauling loki into the time theater and showing him all the footage from the marvel movies
but it winds up being a montage of failure of him getting his ass kicked in every single time by the
avengers by thor and he's just using it to make fun of him on purpose trying to get him to break
and lash out so that he can suss out what this loki variant is all about the deleted scene of
loki vs frog thor was going to happen during the humiliation montage of him showing him all those
scenes it was going to be another example of him always losing no matter what he did as per mobius
as speech like what's going on are you the god of getting your ass kicked it was basically tiny
frog thor pummeling full-sized loki with a tiny frog sized mule near just kicking his ass up and
down but it's like a little tiny frog with a tiny hammer doing it to a normal-sized tom hiddleston
loki so it was basically moebius showing us the fans what actually wound up happening during matt
damon loki's story like another version of the db cooper type of scene which was meant to be
an example of an adventure that the regular loki had before he was killed in avengers infinity war
before this loki variant was created they didn't say exactly when the frog thor scene was supposed
to happen in their timeline just at some point before the events of the first thor film
but they had tom hiddleston performing his part of the scene separately like on his own with some
motion capture references and then spliced it together with the frog thor part because frog
thor is a pure special effect just like alligator loki so you have to imagine tom hiddleston faking
getting pummeled by a tiny little frog and a tiny little hammer as awesome as that sounds the reason
they said that they deleted the frog thor scene is because the early part of this episode one with
them in the time theater felt like it was dragging on in the edit bay and they knew that they were
going to do the frog thor easter egg later in the void during episode 5 so they just opted to delete
it but the other really cool detail about frog thor that the director just revealed is that the
version that we see in this series really is chris hemsworth recording new dialogue for the scene
though it's not exactly what you would expect from a chris hemsworth thor cameo i think the cooler
thing about this though is that any other regular director or producer wouldn't have bothered to try
and get chris hesworth back just to record a bunch of grunts for a frog trying to get out of a jar
so you have to imagine them pitching it to chris hemsworth like we're going to bring you back to do
this special little scene it's going to be great but it's going to be on a planet full of loki's
and get this you're going to be frog thor you son of a i'm in and they didn't pay chris hemsworth to
do that either he just came back for free to be a total dude just helping them out and because
it's just voice over grunting it was really easy for him to do that remotely in australia where he
was while they were filming loki in the uk because this was all happening during the lockdown period
last year i wasn't really thinking about chris hemsworth when i watched this scene the first time
but if you re-watch it now and you listen you know that it's chris hemsworth it does sound a little
bit like chris hemsworth grunts the next big deleted scene they just revealed from episode 5
actually was happening at the end of the episode during the big final battle so it was going to
be them fighting goliath but during the deleted scene all of the loki variants that were left
in the void were going to rally and help our loki and sylvie fight off a life and it was going to be
like an all loki version of the avengers assemble scene from avengers end game like loki's assemble
which sounds hilarious and amazing at the same time but the reason they said that that didn't
make it into the final episode is because they didn't want it to diminish the triumph of our
loki learning to enchant on the fly and the two of them defeating goliath by themselves realizing
that they could be much more powerful than anyone gives loki's credit for that's what his little
speech about classic loki was when he was creating that perfect illusion of his version of asgard
down to the trees and the cracks in the streets he even added the detail of the lightning bolt as
a reference to his version of thor in our loki was like we're stronger than people give us credit for
so as cool as the loki's assemble scene would have been it would have kind of destroyed the
weight of that moment the head of production the design the look of the void with all the
easter eggs and all the cool stuff all over the place said that originally it was also
going to be way weirder inside the void i'm just going to read his quote about it he said we were
trying to find moments to infuse the void with surrealism so that was the point of the giant
heads that they were walking around all the time and also the little void creatures that look like
little peacocks so if it wasn't clear those weren't meant to be any specific reference i
was trying to find a comic book reference and a couple people thought that they might have
been dodos or something like that but the way the production designer explains it they were
just meant to be nonsense animals that weren't a direct reference to any specific comic book thing
so he goes on to say originally at some point i was proposing a far more salvador dali-esque
dada-esque version of the void and it evolved over time but those little bird creatures and
heads made it through from the dada-esque version of the english moors version of the void if you're
not familiar with salvador dali he was this really famous spanish surrealist artist renowned for his
strange art pieces and paintings involving melting clocks distorted landscapes dadaism
which was this really big european avant-garde art movement from the early 20th century that focused
on nonsense and irrationality so originally they were just going to have way more nonsense
happening in the void and it was going to look way trippier you can kind of tell they're going for a
lot of deep cuts with their production design like especially inside the timekeeper's room when they
go inside there it looks kind of like they walk into an mc-escher painting where the staircases
are just going all over the place so i wouldn't be surprised if they also do something really crazy
with the interior of the black citadel at the actual end of time where the main villain has been
hiding this whole time we've seen a little bit inside that black castle like loki walking through
the hallways that seem like endless hallways just the way they're designed with the arches here
yeah the living room here even if you look on the floor here too in the high resolution version of
this like zoom and enhance the symbol on the floor kind of seems like some of the symbols that are at
the tva which i think is just meant to back up the idea that the person who's been living here
this whole time at the end of time was actually responsible for the original creation of the tba
as they've been theorizing this whole time on the show the other big deleted scene that they've
revealed is actually at the very beginning of the show at the very beginning of episode 1 it's
that avengers endgame scene the director kate herron said that because they were building the
series off of that moment where loki escapes in avengers end game they basically went into
the archives where they store all the footage that they filmed and they were just petabytes
of footage that they didn't wind up using for vendors end game just a whole bunch of really cool
deleted scenes in alternate versions of scenes that we actually saw in the movie
so this whole opening scene with loki is basically part of just an avengers endgame deleted scene
this is her quote about that she says it was a lot of fun i mean what a treat as a director
getting access to the library of the rushes of all these other brilliant filmmakers so basically they
said that they had access to all of the footage from all the marvel movies that they filmed but
particularly from avengers end game then she goes on to say that was the really fun thing with the
opening was getting to show that moment everyone knows so well but from a completely different pov
just because the russo shot the scene a couple different ways so as happened with falcon and
winter soldier with juan division we learned about a lot of deleted scenes after the fact
especially from the finale so if we learn about any really cool deleted scenes in loki episode 6
after it airs i'll do a video for that too of all the marvel disney plus series so far i think the
series with the biggest like the most wtf deleted scenes is still one division because of all the
plans that they had for benedict cumberbatch i've already done a number of deleted scene videos for
that so i'll link some of them in the description below because some of them are pretty crazy but
what's going to happen is my full loki episode 6 finale video we'll post on wednesday just like
normal i've got a new rick and morty episode 4 video that we'll post next so if you have any
big questions you want me to include in my bonus videos this week just let me know in the comments
