Thor

Just saw it yesterday. I enjoyed it better than Iron Man. And Loki is one of the more interesting villains I have seen recently. I kind of feel sorry for him at the end. But I have to admit that Thor's Character Development felt a bit too rush, and the romance subplot was decent but awkward and unnecessary.

Also, I don't get The Stinger. Was Loki disguising himself as Selvig or was he controlling him?

controlling him I think

Humour, where would we be without it? In Germany, probably

I was curious about that myself, but I realized it doesn't matter either way.

Saw it, liked it. It's obvious they put some real effort in this one.

Loki was a very nicely developed character.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.

good movie. not quite as good as Iron Man but well above The Incredible Hulk, I guess. the flip-flopping between Asgard and Earth was paced pretty well, so it didn't feel confusing, which is a pretty nice feat.

Starting to see a lot more cameos and references to the other Marvel films, which I'm kind of unsure about. I know they want to build up to the Avengers movie, but if they keep doing this more and more, the marvel movie-verse could quickly become as "exclusive" as the comics are. Most of them are pretty hard for a newcomer to just jump into and enjoy without being forced to read/watch from the beginning.

the only main gripe i have about the film is that the whole jotunheim battle scene was way too dark. Yeah, he's the evil/icy world, but I could barely see what was going on, damnit.

That was more due to the quick cuts.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.

I don't know why everyone tought the romance was badly done, I tought it was pretty average and there was some chemistry between them, it wasn't great but not something that really counts as a negative point to me.

I do agree that Thor's character development was rushed, in fact it almost seemed like just decided he would act all noble as a Xanatos Gambit to get his powers back but it seemed like they couldn't drag the movie longer so as to justify that so I think it's forgivable atleast.

I tought it was a great movie, but it wasn't iron man great.

:)

Don't you try anything, you baked good you.

Excuse me while I strangle the above poster for that pun.

He who fights bronies should see to itthat he himself does not become a brony. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, Pinkie Pie gazes Also

I loved it, though I also found the romance subplot painful. Mostly because every action movie has one and it's become cliche and predictable. I knew it was coming the second the two met.

Loki was a really interesting villain, yes. Can you really blame him for feeling inferior to Thor when even their friends sided with Thor even after how reckless he was? We must have left the theater before this stinger everyone was talking about, though.

Also, Thor's shirtless scene. FFFF—

Romance doesn't belong in action movies.

Fight smart, not fair.

Agreed but Hollywood doesn't seem to think so.

My thoughts at the start of the movie. "An attractive female character! Love interest."

Well you were either gonna have Thor trying to get in bed with Sif or Thor trying to get in bed with Jane. And you had to have at least one or the comic fans were gonna bitch.

Personally I didn't mind it too much, if only because it didn't feel as forced as it usually is in other movies.

then he should have gone with both. Throw in the research assistant girl, too. he's the motherfucking god of thunder.

just do something different.

I feel the concept of the romance was not bad in itself, as it strengthens the scene in which Thor destroys the Bifrost, it's just that it was executed poorly.

I'd prefer Sif myself.

Fight smart, not fair.

yes, it definitely helped make the destruction of the Bifrost a much more personal decision for Thor.

it kind of took me by surprise when he goes from "drinking like a god" to "cooking breakfast" with one scene in between. and then "willing to sacrifice himself" a few minutes after that. That section was rushed.

Don'tcha mean "thtrangle", thport?

Don't you try anything, you baked good you.

Oh thutup!

Theres sex and death and human grime in monochrome for one thin dime and at least the trains all run on time but they dont go anywhere.

Reminds me of how Ultimate Ironman paid Thor ten million dollars to stop using the speech style. Technically, it was to a charity.

Fight smart, not fair.

I think the only real problem with the romance was that it wasn't given enough time to develop and grow. We barely got to know Jane, and by extension neither did Thor. None of the humans were really all that well-developed - they got, like, a couple scenes to show their personalities. The movie was about Thor and Asgard, so I think it doesn't ruin the movie - but it would be more enjoyable if there were more interaction with Earth.

Suppose the lack of interaction is better than crappy interaction, tho. 'Swhat fanfiction is for.

ophelia, you're breaking my heart

So how is Thor gonna be on Earth for The Avengers. Unless some of the time is gonna be spent on him being transported here

It is suggested at the end of the movie that the people on Earth are trying to make their own version of the Bifrost.

oh, question for the people who actually read the comics: what was that object that was shown in The Stinger?

It was the Cosmic Cube.

It can do lots.
