"Impossible!!! The Rainbow Bridge concerns the safety of all Asgard, I cannot show favoritism!"

Heimdall's expression shifted repeatedly, as if he were engaged in some intense internal struggle! His words, spoken with a solemn tone, were filled with fierce emotion, as if he were trying to convince himself, or perhaps emphasizing something—in short, they were brimming with inner turmoil! If any acting professionals were present, they would undoubtedly be blown away by his performance!

This kind of performance, which directly expresses inner thoughts on the face, is absolutely worthy of being included in textbooks, becoming a classic case and being regarded as a model by all performing arts students!

awesome!

Danger felt a chill run down his spine... The city's schemes are truly insidious!

If Sif hadn't emphasized it beforehand, Ger would have really been deceived by Heimdall, thinking that Heimdall was going through a fierce internal struggle!

In reality, Sif knows her brother very well. Would Heimdall be caught in a psychological struggle because of personal bias? The answer is no! In Heimdall's mind, Asgard is always the most important, and he won't accept any arguments against it. Not to mention for his sister, if necessary, anyone can be sacrificed to save Asgard.

Everyone, including himself, can be sacrificed!

This guy is, in a sense, quite abnormal. The reason he became the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge and a guardian deity wasn't because he was particularly powerful, but because he glimpsed the path he was walking and considered it his natural destiny, thus becoming a guardian deity!

The Rainbow Bridge Guardian is just a position; anyone could take that position.

After all, this is just a job title, nothing special.

For example, in the movie, Heimdall was later stripped of his position, and Skorch the Executioner took over. Skorch's real name is Skorch, and in the comics, he is the illegitimate son of an unknown frost giant and an unknown goddess of Asgard. Due to possessing frost giant genes, his body density is far higher than that of humans on Earth, and he is even stronger than the Asgardians; in addition, his highly developed muscle tissue allows him to produce less fatigue toxins during activities. Skorch possesses superhuman strength (he can lift more than 65 tons), speed (he is enormous, but his agility is faster than the best human athletes), stamina (he can fight continuously for days), endurance, and strong resistance to impact (he can withstand direct hits from high-caliber bullets, powerful energy blasts, falls from heights, extreme temperatures, pressure, and most physical injuries). The executioner possesses formidable hand-to-hand combat skills and is adept at using a battle axe. In addition, he is exceptionally gifted with languages, being fluent in the languages ​​of the nine great nations, as well as Earth's dialects and various alien languages. He also has an exceptionally long lifespan and is immune to attacks such as viruses, radiation, and poisonous gases.

In the movie, the Executioner's father was a stonemason, and he participated in the war to quell the rebellion of the Nine Realms, but was never given a significant role. It wasn't until Odin was banished to Earth that Loki appointed the Executioner to replace Heimdall as guardian of the Bifrost (but only for this task). During this time, the Executioner used the Bifrost to steal many things from Earth. After Thor returned to Asgard, the Executioner was automatically dismissed, but during Hela's invasion of Asgard, his lack of resistance earned him Hela's favor, and he was appointed Executioner. When Thor returned to Asgard again, the Executioner led the Ghost Legion to besiege Heimdall, but seeing the Ghost Legion at a disadvantage, he disguised himself and boarded a refugee ship. When the Ghost Legion invaded the ship, the Executioner bravely fought them to cover the ship's escape, but was killed by Hela's flying sword. These experiences show that the Executioner was also a hero.

This also shows that this position is really useless.

What's truly impressive is the title of Guardian Deity.

is God!

Heimdall wasn't even a pure-blooded Asgardian!

He's from Vanaheim!

Yet a Vanaheimer could break through racial restrictions and directly become a god of Asgard!

The reason for this is that Heimdall became a god because he took protecting Asgard as his creed, which endowed him with unparalleled divine power and was the foundation of his existence!

He himself had no choice but to obey!

This is much more reliable than the American Dream!

The United States, the world's most populous country, constantly employs various gimmicks to attract immigrants, the most famous being the "American Dream." In just a few years, the "American Dream" has drawn a massive influx of immigrants to the US. Broadly speaking, the "American Dream" is a belief in a better life, a belief that can be achieved through continuous effort. While some have indeed fulfilled their "dreams" in America, the vast majority of those who come to the US find themselves at the bottom of society, with no possibility of achieving their ideals, merely a speck of dust in the "American Dream." With the continued decline of the US economy and the shattering of the "American Dream," more Americans have realized that the "American Dream" does not exist. Despite their hard work, their efforts have not improved their lives.

A survey released by the most influential polling organizations in the United States, including American television networks and Russia's Ipsos, showed that only 27% of Americans have confidence in the American Dream.

Thirteen years ago, the United States had just emerged from the shadow of the subprime mortgage crisis, and similar polls showed that 50% of the public still firmly believed in the "American Dream," convinced that hard work would lead to success. This time, however, that number has halved. This means that even those who firmly believed in the "American Dream" are unlikely to achieve it in the past decade or so. Only about 4% previously did not believe in the "American Dream," meaning that those who set foot on the continent largely embraced it. Today, the concept of the "American Dream" has been abandoned by Americans. Once a tool used to attract immigrants, many now realize that the so-called "American Dream" was merely a scam to lure immigrants to America for work. Perhaps some will gain more opportunities, but many more will simply become part of the wealthy elite. Previous polls showed that Americans were deeply frustrated with their development path, with nearly 80% saying their economy had gone astray. However, the US government showed no sign of changing its mind, continuing to lead the country down a path of no return.

American polls show that young people generally have a more negative view of the "American Dream" than younger people. Nearly half of those who believe success can be achieved through hard work are over 65. Only 28% of those in their 50s have faith in the "American Dream." They are now the main driving force behind America's development, but their lack of belief that hard work guarantees success signifies a loss of trust in their country. The implications are profound. Many people still aspire to go to the United States, and large numbers of people eagerly cross the border daily. This desire for America is unlikely to diminish in the short term, but it is undeniable that America's appeal to immigrants is waning.

In contrast, Asgard is much purer!

Although they have racial distinctions, if you are truly capable, you can still achieve success.

In the entirety of Asgard, there are only three gods.

Odin!

Lord of Asgard, God-King!

Thor, God of Thunder!

Then there's Heimdall, the guardian of Asgard!

In short, Heimdall's sense of responsibility to Asgard surpasses everything!

This ensures he will never feel lost or struggle.

Therefore, everything he showed was an illusion!

If Sif hadn't made it clear beforehand, Ger would never have known any of this!

He'll just foolishly think he's succeeded, only to be tricked by Heimdall and ultimately fail!

But now that Sif had revealed the answer in advance, Kogel felt no sense of triumph. Instead, he only felt a deep chill!

When he was gathering intelligence before, most of the intelligence said that the Asgardians were straightforward, simple and brutal, and not good at scheming and trickery, etc. In short, it highlighted one thing: the Asgardians were all brutes!

But now look at Sif, and then look at Heimdall!

Can anyone tell him that this is considered simple and crude? Is he not good at scheming and intrigue?

Damn it, then what is he?

A pure and innocent little cabbage?

But soon, Gerd sadly discovered... he really was!

He really doesn't know any tricks or schemes. The best plan he could come up with to use the Rainbow Bridge was to kidnap Sif... Damn it, looking at it now, I feel like I'm not really suited to be a villain, at least not a major villain. After all, the main villain in the story has power, but the most important thing is to have brains!

He felt that his brain wasn't good enough.

"Think of your sister, Heimdall. She's still young, she has so much potential, she has a bright future ahead of her. I don't need you to actually harm Asgard's interests. I just want to use the Bifrost to enter the Altar of Eternity. I just want to resurrect my daughter. I don't want to target Asgard! But right now, only you in the entire universe can enter the Altar of Eternity!"

Gel continued to follow the script.

However, compared to Heimdall's passionate and moving performance, Ger seemed much more amateurish. If he were to appear in a movie, he would definitely be criticized to death.

Can you act?

What about emotions?

Why is there absolutely no emotion in the dialogue? It sounds like it's being read aloud without any expression. It's one thing to lack eye contact—after all, expressive eye acting is always challenging, and most actors can't do it well. But what about facial expressions? If the eyes and emotions aren't enough, facial expressions can still help! While the effect isn't particularly good, at least they can assist the performance!

But you had a completely expressionless face the whole time, are you expressionless?!

The dialogue was also terrible; where was the structure and flow?

How about gradually guiding them?

What about the feeling of oppression?

Ugh, bad review!

Danger really had no choice!

He wasn't good at acting anyway.

Until today, he had no idea that there was such a thing as acting!

Performing arts convey emotions and thoughts through body language and sound, encompassing various forms such as musicals and operas. For those new to performing arts, these questions undoubtedly ignite a strong sense of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. Performing arts are like flowers blooming in the mist, their beauty elusive, inspiring endless imagination; only by delving deeper and unveiling their mystery can we truly grasp their essence and core. Where did this vibrant and diverse art form originate? Was it ancient sacrificial rituals or modern cultural innovation? Tracing its historical trajectory, we find that performing arts are closely intertwined with the development of human civilization. It not only carries the wisdom and emotions of our ancestors but is also a vital source of modern cultural diversity. Initially, performing arts were closely linked to dance in religious rituals. In ancient times, people used dance to convey their understanding of the spiritual world, and religious dance was an indispensable part of this. It was closely connected to people's various spiritual needs, such as praying for rain, combating drought, exorcising demons, warding off plagues, and welcoming and sending off gods. These rituals, used to communicate with or entertain the gods, gradually evolved into an independent art form—primitive dance. The emergence of "court art" then marked the division between social and folk performing arts. With the progress of human society, more and more art forms arose, and people began to express their emotions and desires in diverse ways. Ultimately, the emergence of theatrical performance allowed performing arts to formally take center stage and screen, presenting stories to audiences, thus forming the performing arts we know today. Simply put, performing arts is an art form that conveys emotions, stories, or ideas through body language, voice, facial expressions, and other means. It includes not only familiar performance types such as drama, dance, and concerts, but also various comprehensive art performances, such as musicals and operas. The core of performing arts lies in its expressiveness and infectiousness, its ability to touch hearts and evoke emotional resonance in the audience. Everyone's understanding of performance differs, but in short, performance is the combination of "expression" and "acting." "Expression" refers to the act of conveying emotions and thoughts through external body language, voice, and facial expressions; "acting" refers to the performance of the script, lines, and the character's inner world, presented to the audience through the art of performance. This process is from the inside out and then from the outside in. Actors convey the character's emotions and story to the audience through their own feelings and understanding, while the audience experiences and understands the character by observing the actor's external language, physical movements, costumes, and so on. To make the performance more fluid and natural, professional actors need to undergo rigorous training in "voice, stage presence, form, and expression," continuously improving their acting skills.

Gel had seen priests gather together and dance all sorts of bizarre dances, and they said that those things could communicate with the gods... but he never thought that those things could be called a performance!
