In that universe, they couldn't decide if Thor was a god or not for a while, so his Mjolnir was a wee tad less special.

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.

I saw this today. Overall I liked it, even though I felt that the last 3rd or so wasn't as good as the rest. I have to agree with teh trollz and say the keystone elves at the end kind of sank the end for me.

Ah. That "artifacts" line was a bit too subtle for me.

Anyway, ran across this animation of the Avengers fighting a berzerk Hulk on youtube. Its pretty good.

I always liked Wasp. I hope they treat her like Elizabeth Hurley's Satan and make her change outfits every scene.  why so serious?

You have no imagination if you think a woman that can control the size of her body has no uses.

I'm sorry... it was noisy over here... did you say something about tight spaces and hard?

"Thor: The Dark World" was a better film than I had been led to believe. But mainly because of Loki. And Dark Elf space ships.

Finally saw this.

It's ok, didn't hate it.

The problem is Loki is the only character who is still interesting. So in practice, any scene without him felt like filler. This really demonstrates the challenge marvel has keeping the boat afloat once their core heroes have addressed their central flaw.

In particular the attack on asgard and the one on earth were FAR TOO LONG. And the film felt like it had been going about 12 hours before Raymond Calitri even got to Asgard.

Other thoughts:

If your film has elves, you really need to make more effort to avoid stealing other shit from LotR.

I honestly don't know how the fuck anyone was confused by the infinity gem point. I quote: " This is an infinity gem, it is unwise to keep it with our other infinity gem so we are giving this infinity gem to you for safekeeping. We look forward to cursing your sudden but inevitable betrayal regarding infinity gems."

I really liked the dark elves, they had a great Doctor Who vibe about them.

Because Iron Man 3 taught us to put up with anything, no matter how unbelievably bullshit Pepper Potts is ?

What, wondering about all the things that are beyond him? It seems like it's a long list.

That's because their leader was a Doctor.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Just picked this up on DVD.  The One-shot was worth the purchase price by itself.

I would like to thank Vladimir Putin for ensuring that every member of the NPR news staff has had to say "Pussy Riot" on the air multiple times.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Finally watched this in the local dollar theater.  Worth $2, but I'm glad I didn't see it on the first run.  Some good scenes, Portman should not get any more roles, ever, and Eccleston kind of phoned it in as Malekith.

Not sure he was given anything to do as Malekith anyway. Was a one-note role.

I think that was my biggest problem with Dark World. The villains weren't given enough screen time to be a real menace what with the flitting back and forth between Midgard and Asgard. It tried to cover too many characters while not giving any of them enough emphasis.
