[The camera opens in on a museum hallway featuring Norse statues and vases.]
The Creator: Long ago, in the faraway land of ancient Norway, there was a golden age of powerful gods and extraordinary heroes. And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes was the mighty Loki. [A Norse vase is shown with a picture of Loki fighting a monster. Vase zooms in slowly] But what is the measure of a true hero? Ah, that is what our story is-
Jane: Will you listen to him? He's makin' the story sound like some norse tragedy.
Yelena: Lighten up, dude.
Sylvie: We'll take it from here, darling.
The Creator: You go, girl.
Sylvie: We are the Muses. Goddeses of the arts and proclaimers of the heroes.
Yelena: Heroes like Loki!
Jane: Honey, you mean "Cute-oki". Ooh, I'd like to make some sweet music with him-
[Muses start humming]
Sylvie: Our story actually begins long before Loki, many eons ago..
[scene changes colors and the Muses start walking and singing]
Sylvie: Back when the world was new, the planet Earth was down on its luck. And everywhere gigantic brutes, called Titans ran amok!
Jane: It was a nasty place! There was a mess wherever you stepped.
Sylvie: Where chaos reigned and earthquakes, and volcanoes never slept!
Jane: Woo! Say it, girlfriend!
Muses: And then along came Odin!
Sylvie: He hurled his magic.
Muses: He zapped!
Jane: Locked those suckers in a vault!
Muses: They're trapped! And on his own stopped chaos in its tracks. And that's the gospel truth! The guy was too type A to just relax.
Yelena: And that's the world's first dish.
Jane: Yeah, baby!
Pepper: Odin tamed the globe while still in his youth.
Muses: Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble-that's the gospel truth! On Asgard life was neat and smooth as sweet vermouth. Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble-that's the gospel truth!
[schematic picture of Asgard zooms in and turns into a real one. While the Muses still repeat their "ah's and yeah's", camera moves up the mountain slope. While it does, the movie title, LOKI, is shown. Then camera goes inside, passes various chattering gods and finds baby Loki]
Frigga: Loki! Behave yourself
[Odin come in to play with the baby, too]
Odin: Oh, look at this, look how cute he is... [Odin babbles at baby Loki and he catches Odin by index finger and lifts above his cradle] Hah! Oh, he's strong! Like his Dad, hmm?
Clint: (moving through a crowd of gods) Whoa! Excuse me! Hot stuff coming through! Excuse me one side, Thor. [Clint hands Frigga a bundle of glowing flowers]
Frigga: Why, Clint, they're lovely.
Clint: Yeah, you know, I had Volstagg do the arrangement. Isn't that too nutty? (flying closer to Odin now) Fabulous party, you know, I haven't seen this much love in a room since Tony discovered himself!
[Tony is shown, staring into his mirror and making kissing sounds. Also, Baby Loki gets one of Odin's lightnings and plays with it]
Frigga: Dear, keep those away from the baby.
