―Thor

Team Thor: Part 1, originally known simply as Team Thor, and also called While You Were Fighting or Team Thor: Civil War, is a self-parody mockumentary-style short film that screened at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con. It is the sixth in a series of Marvel One-Shots and was also released on the Captain America: Civil War Blu-ray.

The short film was written and directed by Taika Waititi.

Synopsis

This short satirical doc, directed by Taika Waititi (Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok), suggests what Thor might have been doing while the rest of the Avengers were battling each other in Marvel's Captain America: Civil War.

Plot

In 2016, Thor took a short break from his journeys in space to return to Earth in Australia. He met a local ordinary office worker Darryl Jacobson while searching on what was going on in Asgard and became his roommate. Thor had an interview with Jacobson, talking about his life during his time in Australia. Thor visited a kindergarten class, had Darryl send an email to Tony Stark concerning his conflict with Captain America. Thor also showed off his drawings about the connection among Avengers, Nick Fury and the "purple man in the floating chair."

Thor invited Bruce Banner to a café and talked about their daily, during which, Banner received a phone call by Stark. Thor talked to Stark and tried to get Stark to recruit him. Back at home, Thor named Jacobson and himself as "Team Thor".
