Disney/Marvel sent us a few things along with a copy of Thor: Ragnarok on Blu-ray with the idea that we would have some sort of “backyard contest of champions” or something similar, inspired by a major plot point in the movie.
We did have some fun, but instead of a straight competition, we decided to go with characters from the film, and based on each kid’s personality. If you know my kids you’ll know how appropriate the selections were. It was during the competition itself that things started to go amiss and instead of starting over, we decided to roll with it and incorporate everything that went wrong. The result is better, we think, than if we had just a straight competition. I think you’ll agree, especially the surprise ending.
