While the Loki-filled Episode 5 of Loki focused a heck of a lot on the God of Mischief's variants, there was an appearance of Thor in the episode. No, it wasn't Chris Hemsworth wearing the costume, it was a frog.
Warning: Some real minor spoilers coming up for Episode 5 of Loki.
During the scene where the titular Loki was heading down to a secret bunker with Kid Loki, Old Loki, Boastful Loki, and Alligator Loki, there was a brief moment where we saw Mjolnir buried in the dirt. Right next to that was a creature in a glass jar hopping around trying to get it. However, it's in a glass jar, so there's no escape. That creature is none other than Frog Thor or Throg.
It was something you probably noticed while watching the episode but didn't think twice about. It happens so quickly, but believe it or not, this is actually something from Marvel Comics. In Thor #365 (T365 is printed on the jar in Loki), Throg made his debut. A frog named Puddlegulp--who was Thor transformed into a frog--found Mjolnir and was transformed into Frog Thor, to help in his war against rats--Puddlegulp actually made his debut one issue prior. The character is beloved by comic book fans, and although the character made its debut in the mid '80s, he eventually became a part of his own superhero team: the Pet Avengers--on Earth-97161. This version was actually a cursed human named Simon Walterson, who was transformed into a frog.
In other Loki news, it was recently revealed that some of the cast of the Disney+ series didn't even know what show they were auditioning for. And with Spider-Man: No Way Home coming to theaters in December, toys for the upcoming movie are starting to roll out, and they might give us an idea of what to expect from the third Spider-Man movie.
