Porn Parody Theater: Thor XXX: An Axel Braun Parody

Axel Braun is perhaps a bigger comic book geek than Kevin Feige and Joss Whedon combined. Sure, the high-rollers have billions of dollars to bandy about on their comic book properties, and they can most certainly afford better special effects, slicker photography, and ostensibly better actors, but it's Braun – with his now-extensive string of superhero porn parodies – who has more accurately captured the mood and the spirit of comic books. Despite how true-to-the-page something like The Avengers or Thor: The Dark World may claim to be on the surface, 

Thor XXXactually bothers to cut deep, producing spot-on costume reproductions, gleefully involving obscure characters only the biggest fans know about, and often referring to actual recorded comic book backstory, rather than inventing an ever-so-slightly altered version of it. So Thor XXX is going to be a more faithful adaptation of the Thor comic books. Only there's more fucking.The story of Thor XXX is actually much better than all three of the Thor films to date, and only requires about 16 minutes to tell. As opposed to the other movies, which are bogged down with page after page of Kat Dennings-involved exposition. In this Thor story, Loki (Tommy Pistol) has seduced Sif (Kimberly Kane) while magically disguised as Thor. Thor (Brendon Miller) is so enraged that he unleashes his magic hammer at Loki, allowing Loki to teleport it to Earth. Thor must leave his father and mother (Mark Davis and Julia Ann) and travel to Earth to find his beloved weapon. While on Earth, he runs afoul of The Enchantress (Nicole Aniston) and Executioner (Dick Delaware), and if you know who those characters are, then you're probably already excited. In this version of things, Thor only falls in love with Jane Foster (Alyssa Branch) because he's been enchanted.

In addition, Sif fellates Heimdall (Dick Chibbles), Iron Man makes a cameo appearance, and there are even a few special effects sequences (although they are admittedly low-rent). If lengthy sex scenes aren't your speed, and you feel they interrupt the flow of your comic book curiosity, the DVD and Blu-ray of Thor XXX Porn comes with a 16-minute sex-free version which condenses all of this story.

The recent wave of comic book inspired feature films have – for better or for worse – taken a rather sacred approach to their source material. They tweak story elements, alter origins, and update costumes, but for the most part, the cinematic superhero boom has excelled in taking their overblown comic book characters – yes even Thor – somewhat seriously. Axel Braun has been taking a much more thrilling approach, in that he is making glorified and enthusiastic fan fiction.
