Chef’s Note: Crazy is, indeed, relative and there is much in the way of confusion going on here. First we have Monica telling Thor he has powdered sugar on his face, when he clearly does not. He hasn’t even had a cup of Café du Monde yet.
We later see the Beyonder float one into Thor’s notice and he of course then stuffs it into his godly gob, getting powdered sugar all over the place. Which, admittedly, is what you are supposed to do when eating a beignet.
We also have everyone telling Monica her parents are dead, only to have them immediately call her on the phone.
And then we have Thor asking if they could make more beignets, when there is still clearly a platterful floating next to the Beyonder?
Unless he is declaring his intention to eat all the ones present and is noting a future need for more? Gods do have the long view of things, after all.
Or maybe he thinks a platterful is a single portion? He does have a god-sized appetite.
Or perhaps it’s simply that he prefers them as hot & fresh as possible, which again, is really the preferred manner of consuming beignets.
So, maybe not everything here is crazy, after all.
Chef’s Note: Happy National Beignet Day!
