Love, Thunder and Mischief

Story Development

The story was hard to pin down at first. I had many ideas but most of them were too „normal“. Like Marvel, I wanted to focus on the superhero aspect, and since I have a younger sister and know what the relationship between two teenage girls can be like, I was sure I wanted to build the story around a competition between the two. But since a competition alone isn’t enough to tell an exciting story, I still needed a moral.  As with Thor and Loki, there is a lot of trouble between the two. However, when it comes down to it, they are still there for each other.

I chose a total of three obstacles to bring the moral: Together we are strong, clearly to light. At the first obstacle, Kari lets Love down. At the second obstacle, Love doesn’t pay attention to what’s happening to Kari. Each one thinks only of herself. And at the third obstacle, Love initially jumps to safety but when she realizes Kari needs her, she comes to her rescue. Kari does the same. With the goal of winning in mind, she keeps running, but her compassion causes her to turn back to help Love. This is to show that the other is much more important to both of them than winning, even if it was hard for them at first.

In the beginning, Thor seems to be the bad guy who only wants bad things for the two of them. But in the end it becomes clear that he is doing all this just to bring the two together.
