"Blood Brothers" Part 1 (of 4)

Powerful and Epic
I found the artwork and animation to be the most powerful piece of this series. The 'stop motion' is what captivated my attention to a scornful glance, tilt of the hand, or pose full of such rage and hatred that left me eagerly anticipating what I would notice first in the next scene. I found the style a little reminiscent of what Frank Frazetta would have come up with if he delved back into animation. The scenery had enough artistic impact that I had to take a few screenshots to use as desktop backgrounds.

If anyone is coming here because of the Avengers movie, be forewarned this is not the devilishly handsome, honey-voiced, Tom Hiddleston Loki (though there were quite a few scenes in here that I couldn't help but imagine how Tom would have said it). This is more what I expected from Loki of the norse myths. This was an older, more experienced, more paranoid, and more eloquent Loki. His musings and confrontations were wonderfully acted by David Blair.

Awesome story, worthy of the Norse Gods
If you're looking for an action packed story, you may be disappointed. However, if you want to peer deep into the psyche of the God of Mischief, then you'll love this. A sad ending that makes you wonder "what if? "

Thor/Loki - Blood Brothers
An excellent 'old world' story with great dialog, setting, character development, etc. Parts 1-3 were visually pleasing with an engaging storyline.
It would have been awarded 5 stars if it weren't for Part 4. Obviously having ran out of time & money for the project it was hastened to an end by way of poor, flat, 'paper doll' graphics with only a sprinkling of HD work from the animators incomplete and too few rendered files.
SO MUCH could have been done as a proper crescendo to the last acts in the way of depth & emotion. The entire audience could have been swayed to Loki's side showing Thor as the unyielding antagonist just as a suggestion from where it seemed they were about to take it before the sudden end
It should have been giving the respect it deserved from the hard work & hours poured into the first installments. Honestly, someone needs to take it back into production to finish it right; I would purchase it if such was done.
I recommend it for the dialog,...
