  • Loki: Realm of the Dishonored Dead

    Loki: Realm of the Dishonored Dead

    Accused of a crime he didn’t commit, Loki must gather all of his wits and allies to escape the Realm of the Dishonored Dead, and its merciless Queen.

    This Loki video has been years in the making, True Believers. Since 2020, the post credits scene in Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six has teased Loki, and now it’s here! Yes, I’ve had it planned that long, and actually, not much has changed. So let’s get into the long awaited Loki video, shall we?

    Voice Talent

    First off, as always, I want to thank my incredible cast. Kyle Rice returned from his debut in Glorious Purpose to lend his voice to Loki once more. Kyle brings just the right amount of Norse to keep it authentic, and Hiddleston to keep it Marvel. I honestly think I struck gold, with Kyle’s range, making Loki so expressive. I’m glad to have him as my leading man.

    Then we have Allyson Phillips, aka Loki’s #1 fan! I refused to do the video without giving her a role, and she made Sylvie her own. Seriously, the scene where she enchants Ares? My goodness, Allyson brought it this time around, coming off of her small roll in Glorious Purpose. Her love for all things Loki clearly shines through in her performance. Make sure to find AllyCharms on all the platforms listed in this Linktree.

    Of course, let’s not forget Face Front veteran Eileen Nestman, known for her role as Ghost-Spider in the Spider-Verse vids. This time she brought Hela to life with just the amount of terror and gravitas I wanted from her performance. And Eileen, being the trooper she is, pulled double duty this time as the honorable Lady Sif. Eileen’s contributions to Face Front are immeasurable, so please show her some love by checking her out on YouTube!

    And I’d like to give my sister Jaelen an honorable mention for lending her voice to the tough-as-nails Valkyrie!

    Easter Eggs

    There were quite a few references sprinkled about in this video. Did you catch them all?

    The Death of Phil Coulson

    No one can forget the most shocking moment in the first Avengers movie, when Loki slew Agent Phil Coulson. So imagine Loki’s surprise when the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent interrogating him is none other than the Son of Coul himself! That’s because, and I’ll say it loud for the people in the back, AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. IS CANNON!!! And I will die on that hill. Therefore, #CoulsonLives!

    The Casket of Ancient Winters

    While defending himself of Thor and Coulson’s accusations, Loki mentions that he would rather trifle with the Tesseract, or the Casket of Ancient Winters. I’m sure everyone remembers the Tesseract, but don’t forget about the Casket, which Loki used in the first movie. The relic contains the power of the eternal winter, and if left unchecked, could freeze an entire realm!

    Cast You Out

    If Thor banishing Loki to Niflheim felt familiar, it’s because it’s meant to mirror the scene from the first movie where Odin casts Thor out to learn a lesson on Earth. Like father, like son.

    The Fenrir Wolf

    From Norse legends themselves, Hela’s dog is none other than the fearsome Fenrir Wolf. He was last seen in the MCU being defeated by Hulk, but in the Face Front Universe, Thor undid the events of Ragnarok. So Fenris now resides with his master Hela in the Realm of the Dishonored Dead.

    Fall of the Valkyrie

    When Loki frees Valkyrie, she mentions that she barely escaped with her life after Hela slayed her sisters in their first encounter. Remember in Thor: Ragnarok, when Val and an army of her sisters faced Hela, but they were all slain, Val being the only survivor.

    Ares

    The Marvel Universe has more than just Norse gods, it has Olympian ones too! There are of course the most notable among them, like Zeus and Hercules. But there is also Ares, the God of War, who loves nothing more than a battle. Especially if he wins.

    Lady Loki

    Being a shapeshifter, Loki has taken many forms over the years. Whether he’s himself, a kid, or even a lady. Sylvie changes him into Lady Loki for a brief cameo to pay homage to just one of Loki’s many forms!

    Amora the Enchantress

    As I mentioned earlier, I’ve had this video planned for years. So long, in fact, that Sylvie didn’t even exist yet! In the original script, Sylvie’s role was filled by Amora, the most famous comic version of the Enchantress. But when Sylvie came along, I simply swapped their places. However, to pay homage to what once was, I had Sylvie transform into Amora to aid in her enchantment of Ares.

    Frostgrinder

    Frostgrinder is a knockoff Bifrost Bridge that is meant to mimic its ability to transport a user across realms. This one’s actually a deep cut, it comes from the Thor movie tie-in video game, and was constructed by Ulik the Troll so that he could invade Asgard!

    Yggdrasil

    What was that word Loki said when he returned to Asgard? It was Yggdrasil, the World Tree. This is the tree that connects all of the Nine Realms. It’s pretty important, for attacking Yggdrasil would mean attacking all Nine Realms at once!

    Maestro

    The Hulk? A villain? It can’t be! Unfortunately, True Believers, is is! In the comics, a future version of the Hulk has turned full villain, destroying nearly all of Earth’s mightiest heroes and renaming himself Maestro. And with Thor’s hammer at his feet and Surtur by his side, this won’t be an easy fight for Loki!

    And that’s it for this one True Believers! I’m so excited for you to see what’s next! Did you see King Loki in that post credits scene? And he’s told Talos they need to call none other than Captain Marvel herself! I tell you Marvelites, stay tuned because there’s only more merry Marvel mayhem to come!

  • Four New Face Front Originals!

    Four New Face Front Originals!

    Sam Wilson snapped his fingers, and tore reality to shreds. Following this event are four brand new Face Front Originals that will fill in the blanks and set up the story for Infinity Showdown Part 2! Below are the posters for each new tie-in and a brief description.

    Infinity Showdown: Nick Fury

    This is actually a prequel to the first Avengers: Infinity Showdown video. In Infinity Showdown: Nick Fury, we will discover how the Infinity Gauntlet wound up where it was, and how Sam found out about it. These events will also cover where Nick Fury went and why he left Talos in charge during Spider-Man: Far From Home. This marks the first appearance of Nick Fury in the Face Front Universe!

    Infinity Showdown: Spider-Man

    Sam’s relationship with Peter has been… contentious to say the least. But when Sam snaps his fingers, Peter all of a sudden finds himself in a universe with no Avengers! How will Spider-Man fight against this new group of villains, the Sinister Six!

    Infinity Showdown: Doctor Strange- A Face Front Halloween Special

    When the Falcon ripped reality apart, he opened a doorway to the Dark Dimension, leading Dormammu to take control of some of Marvel’s spookiest villains! Now Doctor Strange must lead a team consisting of Ghost Rider, Elsa Bloodstone, Blade, and Moon Knight against Dormammu and his new army, Man-Thing, Morbius the Living Vampire, and the Green Goblin! This ties directly into events in Avengers: Infinity Showdown Part 2! This event will also have some top secret information for the Oscorp Conspiracy: Back to Formula interactive experience, so keep an eye out!

    Infinity Showdown: Loki

    Loki always causes mischief, but this time he’s gone too far. Taking place mere minutes before Avengers: Infinity Showdown, Thor banishes Loki to the realm of Hela, Goddess of Death. Loki must rely on his silver tongue and tricks if he hopes to survive this encounter. These events are crucial to Part 2 of the Infinity Showdown.

    There you have it folks! Make sure to follow Face Front on Facebook and Twitter, or just keep an eye on the blog, for more news on release dates for these projects! And as always, Face Front True Believers, I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

  • Infinity War Super Bowl Spot!

    First, this:

    And now bullet points! Don’t act like you don’t know me by now!

    • Well, Peter is clearly comfortable with Dr. Strange knowing his identity.

    • I wish Wanda would stop messing with the dang Mind Stone.

    • Guardians are rolling like straight up G’s.

    • “It’s all been leading to this.” A little on the nose there, Tony, but that’s fine.

    • Pretty confined space for Rocket, Groot, and Thor! And is Groot on a cellphone? Or is that his video game from the end of Vol. 2?

    • Dang Loki…

    • Peter’s going to space!?! And he’s in the Homecoming suit, not the Iron Spider, look closely!

    • Cap and Widow are ready for battle, but maybe not Vision… Look, he’s holding his side! I guess he got hurt.

    • Yes Thor, we’ve been ready since 2008. Again, on the nose, but that’s fine.

    • Well, it’s not red, white and blue… or even a circle… but Cap’s new shield is at least still made of Vibranium, so… yay! Good to know they got that man a shield.

    • A little Superior Iron Man tech in there…

    • Teen Groot ready to fight!

    • Oh, good to see Nebula… And still not Hawkeye…

    • Outrider Invasion!

    • Black Widow hitching a ride with Okoye and some other Wakandans, no big.

    • Heeeeeere’s Bucky!

    • Science/Magic combo attack!

    • And the money shot again!

    And for that last shot of Thanos, well, I’ll just leave this here…

     

  • Thor Ragnarok Trailer #SDCC

    I honestly cannot get enough of this trailer! I have to break it down in bullet points, there’s no other way, so here we go:

    • Hulk v.s Thor! The fight on the Helicarrier in The Avengers was merely a taste of what it looks like we’re getting here!

    • Good to see ‘ol Bruce Banner back! It’s kind of great to watch a man of science flying a spaceship and simply having a blast. Also, even Banner knows Thor beating Hulk is kind of BS! One question though, did Banner pack clothes before he went to Sakaar, or…

    • Hulk Smash! Is it me, or does he look more like Ultimate Hulk? A bit of a longer neck, a haircut, those bead necklaces, totally screams Ultimate Hulk. And hey, he’s literate! Considering that Hulk spoke more words in this trialer than in the entire MCU, which up to this point has consisted of: “Leave me alone”, “Betty”, “Hulk Smash”, and “Puny God”.

    • Skurge the Executioner, it looks like they’re skipping the ax and going straight for the guns (which is disappointing because I wanted to see Hulk relieve him of his ax Earth’s Mightiest Heroes style). Although he’s following Hela around like he would Amora the Enchantress, but this movie has enough characters in it, adding her might have been a bit much. I guess Skurge just has a thing for chicks in green.

    • Hela herself looks great. I like that she forms her headdress kind of like Loki in The Avengers. She seems really frightening, reveling in death, chasing after Thor and Loki in the Bifrost, conjuring swords from midair, taking on the Valkyrie! I mean, dang girl.

    • Speaking of the Valkyrie, is was kind of underwhelmed by Brunhilde’s look in the first trailer, but when I got a glimpse of her riding that winged horse, her blue cape blowing in the wind, I got chills, so it’s good to see that she actually armors up and doesn’t stick with that Sakaar look the entire time. But seriously, that army of Valkyrie v.s Hela, I can’t wait!

    • Dang Loki. I hate Loki. But he’s back, and Thor is trusting him… again. To quote the guy: “Will you ever not fall that?”

    • Was that the Fenrir Wolf! Fighting Hulk!!!

    • Why is poor Hogun facing off against Hela alone! I mean, he’s got an army of Einherjar behind him, but clearly that doesn’t work out too well. Where’s Fandral? Volstagg? Did Hela already get to them!

    • Heimdall finally off the dang bridge and in on the action!

    • Thor bringing the lighting without the hammer? Ooohhhh buddy! That was the money shot right there!

    • Who’s the big fiery guy? Oh well, must not be important. NOT! Freaking Surtur! Fighting the Hulk!!! Yes! I am so ready for this movie!!!

    Thor Ragnarok comes out November 3!
