The "Plot Hole": How was Thor able to get to Earth from Asgard after the Bifrost Bridge was destroyed at the end of Thor's solo movie?

Why It Actually Isn't: This is another one that's explained pretty simply in the movie, with Loki even asking Thor, "How much dark energy did the All-Father have to muster to conjure you here?"

Yes, it's not the most inspired piece of writing and all things considered it's a pretty lazy way to lampshade the issue ("because...magic!"), but it's in no way a plot hole, no matter how lame an explanation it might be. You just have to accept it, move on, and keep enjoying the movie.
