► A man herds several men, women and children to safety after they see a cloud of dust and a lightening bolt, as a giant robot falls from the sky: the robot flips over a car with a burst of flames, blows up a diner, flips over cars and throws a man through the air after the man attempts to attack it (we see the man dent a car when he lands on it, but he is unharmed), the robot sends waves of fire tearing through the city and two men attempt to stab it but the robot knocks them to the ground; a woman jumps through the air and stabs the robot through the back with a staff, it temporarily freezes just as it was about to crush a man, it reanimates and knocks the woman off its back, and we see the wreckage in the street as the robot continues burning through restaurants and tossing over cars (glass blown out of a building's windows hits a man and two women but they appear unharmed).
► Many large blue men descend onto an area that was filled with people that are now frozen solid; many warriors approach the large blue men and they fight and moments later the fight is broken up when a man uses a staff to cast a flame over the large blue men.

A man spins a hammer rapidly around, hitting the ground to create flying shrapnel that hits large blue men in the chest and head and they fall to the ground. A man taunts a large blue man, the blue man throws a force of ice through the ground and knocks the man off his feet, and as another man stands in front of a cliff a large blue man races toward him; the man disappears and the large blue man falls off the cliff.
► A man with a missing eye is shown with a small amount of blood caked around the empty socket and he is later seen with an eye patch covering the missing eye.

► After a man challenges another man to a fight, and we see him use a blast of energy to knock the other man through a wall: he is unharmed and the two men fight and wrestle, throwing one another against walls and trying to hit one another with weapons such as a hammer and a staff, the force of the two fighting breaks through the wall of a building and knocks one of the men off a bridge; he struggles to regain his footing as the other man appears to multiply, and the man throws his hammer striking the chest of the other man, who becomes incapacitated.
► A man struggles to approach a building that is spinning rapidly and lightening shoots out of its side: the man hammers away at a bridge connected to the building, he breaks the building away and the force pulls him and another man with it; the man grabs onto the broken portion of the bridge and is about to fall with the other man hanging onto his foot, but an older man appears and grabs the man's hand pulling him to safety as the other man falls into space.

► A woman drives a truck rapidly toward a burst of light from the sky, a passenger grabs the steering wheel of the truck as the driver tries to swerve away from a cloud of light and says, "I'm not dying for a college credit"; the driver swerves and strikes a man (we see his hands and head hit the glass on the passenger side window), the passenger shouts at the driver, and they pull over and confirm the man is unharmed but dazed.
► Many large blue men surround five men and a woman, the blue men turn their arms into icy axes and are about to strike the humans as an older man on horseback descends from the sky in a ray of light and they freeze; the older man speaks to one of the blue men and uses a force to transport the five men and the woman to safety.

We hear the voice of a large blue man warning five men and a woman that they had "come a long way to die." A man's voiceover explains that a man had killed the king of the frost giants (the large blue men). A man makes a speech saying that he had defeated an entire kingdom of creatures. A large blue man asks why a man does not kill another man, and the man responds that he does not think people would "take kindly" to that. A man says he wants to kill an entire race of creatures for their attempts to steal from his kingdom and another man advises the man to calm down. A man says that a race of creatures will have to be killed in order to protect the safety of their kingdom. A man mumbles to another man that he thought he had been brought to a building to die.
