aliciaxlife - Thor: The Dark World

Kurse (the beefed up Dark Elf) was done soooooooooo badly in this movie, Kurse in the comics is insane, he's incredibly powerful, even more than he is in this movie and he actually ends up turning good and becomes the guardian of the children of Asgard

I remember accidentally watching all the dark elf parts without any subtitles and I thought they were actually more interesting that way

SAME THANK YOU! the treatment of Odin in this movie is so bad, It ruins the movie for me. I have heard an interview where the actor said the direction was a joke, the writing was a joke, so he hated every second.

Adam & Miranda

2025-01-23 00:35:58 +0000 UTC

Oh so this is also a thing, you ask a few questions about shield, there was a tv show that had some continuity you are missing, basically they are really busy right now, you just haven't seen it yet.

Adam & Miranda

2025-01-23 00:30:35 +0000 UTC

god Odin is phoning it in so hard, I don't think there was any character direction on set. Every good performance in this film is because the actor had to have it that way. I wonder if there was no accountability from top down on individual character performances. like if it was more important to get the shot, get the exposition, get the motion capture. just something I am thinking about, this film shows some cracks in the MCU that won't become visible almost a decade down the line lol.

Very good observation on the relationship between Thor & Lady Sif, because in actual Norse mythology Sif is the wife of Thor (also, she was blonde & not a warrior at all). If you ever want to learn more about Norse mythology, I'd suggest watching/reacting to videos on the subjects by Overly Sarcastic Productions (OSP) and/or Jake Doubleyoo on YT.

There are bits and pieces of this movie that were really spectacular (Mostly Thor and Loki interactions). As a whole I think it deserves its spot near the bottom of the Marvel tier list, but... it isn't without redeeming moments.

it sucks because Christopher Eccleston is such a good actor yet was given very little to work with.....he'd have been much better as Dr Doom or Strucker or something

Vegvisir92

2024-12-31 23:04:34 +0000 UTC

I'm kinda on Odin side here although there could be better plans Thors is definitely worse than Odins Its better to take them on by making them come to asgard so they can fight on their own terms rather than sending the literal weapon of mass destruction right to them and only having Thor fight when we don't know if he can even win

Karatsuki

2024-12-30 14:24:31 +0000 UTC

I think this film is over hated. The villain is a bit boring but I really enjoyed most of the rest of it, especially Loki

Andrew birds

2024-12-29 00:00:16 +0000 UTC

You’re wrong about one thing, in the scene in the prison with the illusion of their mom visiting Loki, he didn’t create that, she did, she projected herself there, she’s the one that taught him how to do it, like how we saw him do in Avengers

No? Thats not apart of the mcu I doubt she’s doing that and she really shouldn’t since those are standalone and repetitive films that only connect to No Way Home

Hehehe. Surprised to hear Alicia not cry over Frigga. I don't cry normally, but I shed one tear hehe. Meanwhile I wouldn't be surprised to see Alicia cry over a chicken with less screen time depending on the day.

2024-12-19 08:36:29 +0000 UTC

I agree with what you said regarding not feeling especially sad about Frigga, but I did feel something when we saw Heimdall's, and then Loki's reactions to her death. Tom Hiddleston is such a great pick to play Loki, he really brings the character to life in a way that makes you actually like him as a villain, and his range of emotions is impressive. Every scene that included Loki in this movie actually draws you in, because the reach of his charisma goes beyond the movie itself. You can see the conflict in his emotions, the way he's looking for a place in the world, to find a purpose, and he only knows how to look for the thing he was promised by the lies of Odin. What's interesting is, if the movies take some parts from Norse mythology, the way Odin treats Loki could be explained by the fact that Odin was told by an oracle that his fate is to die during Ragnarök in battle against Fenrir, Loki's son, and as he wants to avoid that he tries to prevent Loki from having the opportunity to have that son, not realizing that his actions are what's turning Loki against Asgaard in the first place.

DarkenedBlade1

2024-12-17 07:04:40 +0000 UTC

Fun Mythology fact: in the actual Norse myths, a giant once stole Thor's hammer and demanded Sif's hand in marriage to return it. Loki had to disguise Thor as Sif in order to get the hammer back.

largo778 .

2024-12-17 06:57:35 +0000 UTC

I honestly never understood the hate for this movie. Is it as good as the other Thor movies? Maybe not. Is it still fun? Sure, I think so! Glad that Alicia gave this one an honest shake! (Only five minutes in so far, rewatching it makes me remember how much I enjoyed it in theaters)

Joey245

2024-12-16 15:22:30 +0000 UTC

Also if I'm mistaken, this was the first instance when the Tesseract was confirmed as an Infinity Stone. So that one scene not only introduces the concepts, but confirms we've already seen 2 stones.

hemahemahema

2024-12-16 09:50:39 +0000 UTC

I assume they meant that not all of the shows have importance to the movies. Can't say anything on that front myself though, as I haven't seen anything after Endgame.

Ace of Blades

2024-12-16 02:13:43 +0000 UTC

This is the only MCU film I’ve watched that I’ve actively hated.

Eliteguard99

2024-12-15 23:41:46 +0000 UTC

Yeah, the intention of that scene was to show it was Frigga who taught Loki his illusions, and to establish how she would save Jane later. As Thor said Loki had her tricks.

hemahemahema

2024-12-15 19:51:39 +0000 UTC

I'd say its better then I remember, but honestly I forgot almost everything, but the loki "betrayal" part.

I remember liking this movie more the first time I watched it, but going back to it I can really see it’s flaws. I would daresay I like it less than Thor 3 now, and I have a strong dislike for Thor 3 that I’ll go into when we get there. Loki is definitely the saving grace of this one. Anyway, Comic Trivia time: Malekith the Accused is a Dark Elf Villain, but in the comics he looks more traditionally elven and his face is half-blue and half-black. His role in the comics was like a more evil and capricious version of Loki, up until he had his neck broken by Angrim/Kurse (the big armored Dark Elf) after he realized he was being tricked by Malekith. Malekith later got over being dead (cuz Comics/Magic) and became Thor’s #1 Enemy, going so far as to unite several of Asgard’s enemies and leading an invasion of Earth. He is now trapped in Hel being tormented by visions of his younger self living a full, happy life. The Collector would mean nothing to someone unfamiliar with or new to comics. In the comics, he is one of the oldest living beings in the universe and he and several others like him known as the Elders of the Universe. In the comics, they were the keepers of the Infinity Gems before Thanos came along. In the MCU the only other Elder we meet (to my knowledge) is The Grandmaster. And the big stone monster from the first part of the movie is a Kronan aka Stone Man from Saturn that were the antagonists in Thor’s first appearance.

Worst mcu film is a toughie. I think, though I respect its ambition and visuals, Eternals story structure literally didn’t work as a film on an executions level. That’s probably my pick. If we’re talking marvel overall, my votes for Fan[4]stic. That one’s dreadful.

RylerRay

2024-12-14 03:51:00 +0000 UTC

Yeah, getting some experience in film and theatre, you start to see where the cracks show. Eccleston's performance was just fine, but it's clear he wasn't given the direction that the character needed, and the screentime/scenes/framing that would have made Malekith compelling in any way.

Bologna Amputation

2024-12-14 02:54:23 +0000 UTC

The scene in the Prison with loki talking with her mother, that was actually her. Remember the 1st Thor movie when Loki appeared on one of SHIELD cell where they have Thor but was just an ilusión, more like a 'projection' of Loki to talk with Thor... He learned that from his mom. She, as the elf said, is a witch, just as Loki is a magician\wizard trickster. His mom projected herself in the dungeon cell to talk with him, just as she projected Jane on the room to trick the elves

I thought you liked Iron Man 3 more than 2. It seemed like the ending kinda saved it, but I guess your mind changed

Memento Forever

2024-12-13 17:56:21 +0000 UTC

To my understanding, it's implied that the reason Odin's behavior at the start of this movie differs so much from his previous appearance is because of the dark magic he used to send Thor to Earth in Avengers. It makes sense that something like that would be possible, but I really wish they would've addressed this in the movie so it wouldn't seem like Odin was just be acting like a jerk for no reason.

Can’t wait for Alicia to eventually watch Iron Giant, Ratatouille, Megamind, Croods, Inside out, and all the good ones

Emperor Moist

2024-12-13 09:59:17 +0000 UTC

Little does Alicia know Loki is better than a movie. He has his own entire show (takes place just after endgame) same with a lot of other Marvel shows, all of them have important content to future movies after endgame

2024-12-13 08:54:05 +0000 UTC

I would love to see her reaction upon learning Loki has a whole TV series dedicated to him.

2024-12-13 04:54:23 +0000 UTC

It reminds me of iron man 1. Except it has a lot more comedy and drama and allows Tony to grow and not rely on his suit.

Iron man 3 is such a good movie compared to hulk and Thor 2 and iron man 2. I don’t understand why she doesn’t like iron man 3.

In actual Norse mythology, Sif is Thor's wife.

SouthHill

Well the good news is that the rest of the movies from here on out are good to great (yes that includes Avengers Age of Ultron).

Anime Tone

2024-12-13 02:41:00 +0000 UTC

So the thing about Odin, is that while he wants to protect his people, when the universe is at stake he reverts to a more warmonger stance and anything and everything for victory, because anything less means the end of everything. I do agree the dialogue could have been stronger when it came to him though.

Okoga

2024-12-13 02:04:46 +0000 UTC

im pretty sure she has somebody telling her the order when its relevant, like how she didnt know when iron man 3 was until after avengers 1 was through and it was no longer a spoiler that tony survived

Dekkarr

2024-12-12 22:29:53 +0000 UTC

its always easier for people to just blame the actor rather than the people behind the scenes since the actor has the face you can see to blame

Vegvisir92

2024-12-12 21:55:58 +0000 UTC

Thor: The Dark World marks the point where Marvel started to shift away from making movies and towards making a franchise. This movie exists solely to introduce another Infinite Stone and the plot and characters all fall flat because they don't matter. I don't think it's too bad a film (because Tom Hiddleston as Loki can carry anything and make it look easy), and some pillars of the MCU have consistently put out top-quality work, but Thor 2 is where the cracks begin to show.

Rx1867

Jonathan

2024-12-12 21:37:33 +0000 UTC

It's understandable that you are annoyed at people telling their opinions about a movie you haven't watched yet. It's like they are trying to condition you to either like or dislike it. it's fun to share opinions AFTER you watch something, but it's not cool to do that before. E.g., I don't think this movie was bad, but it was forgettable. I get the feeling that it was built on a lot of cool visual pieces, but the other parts are lacking. Loki carried the whole thing.

leviathan_13

2024-12-12 21:32:18 +0000 UTC

Lance Ivy

2024-12-12 21:24:48 +0000 UTC

Yeah... the issues you had are pretty much the reasons this tends to be ranked as the lowest of the MCU movies for quite some time. And yeah, Loki remains the best part of anything he's in.

Seraphem

2024-12-12 21:24:07 +0000 UTC

Thor and Sif had very few scenes, but I always thought they have much better chemistry than him and Jane. That one always felt like one of those obligatory superhero romances.

Starchaser

2024-12-12 21:16:49 +0000 UTC

the real problem is that this movie's like twenty minutes too long. Also the elven language stuff being really flat but that's less of the runtime.

Gai Valentine

2024-12-12 20:38:45 +0000 UTC

This is my second watch of this, and here are my thoughts: 1. The final battle is a Scooby Doo hallway door chase scene. This is a compliment and a good thing. 2. There were some extremely good character moments in this movie, but it definitely could have stood to have another 15 minutes for development, especially on Odin's part. 3. Good God Malekith was a boring antagonist, I agree with you there, Alicia. I don't know why they looked at the Endling Lord of the Dark Elves and decided milquetoast henchman energy was what they were gonna go with.

This movie hurts sometimes honestly for various reasons

GrimPitbull

2024-12-12 20:31:59 +0000 UTC

Odin doesn't view humans as equal to Asgardians, but knows Asgardians aren't inherently more valuable than humans. So when it comes to treating a person like a person, he believes in doing the right thing. When it comes to his son being in a relationship with one of those people, however, it's a different story.

DRedd

2024-12-12 20:25:30 +0000 UTC

I wonder sometimes if Alicia would like the show. She likes fun and complex characters it seems, The Doctor fits that bill perfectly, a good amount of companions too.

The Lazy Gamer

2024-12-12 20:13:17 +0000 UTC

It always hurts to hear people shit on Eccleston's performance as Malekith, he hated being in that makeup and he wasn't given much to work with. He'll always be a top Doctor though.

Well it is inconsistent that he seeks to guard and protect all nine of the realms yet for some reason views humans as beneath him. "She is mortal. Illness is their defining trait." "She does not belong in Asgard any more than a goat belongs at the banquet table." For whatever reason, Odin seems to view humans as animals rather than people which I never got that impression from in the first movie, though that could just be me. Either that or he just really hates Jane but that still doesn't match the wise, compassionate Odin from the first movie.

Brantley Fleming

2024-12-12 19:24:01 +0000 UTC

Dark world is definitely not horrible it's just mid af. Honestly my main issue with it is it's pretty forgettable which is the worst thing a movie can be.

Yeah, this one is objectively one of the weaker pre-EG Marvel films, even weaker than the Hulk film in my opinion. It's not bad, but it's just... not very memorable or exciting. It's just a necessary watch to set up for the future films, particularly Loki's role in the story.

Girl you're in for a treat. The next Marvel movie, Captain America: Winter Soldier is widely considered one of the best, if not THE best, Marvel movie. Its SOO good. Im so excited for you to experience it. As to Thor Dark World, its fine. Doesn't bother me, it does its thing and its fine. Im not nearly as down on some Marvel movies as others. If I had a good time the movie it doing something right. 7/10, C+ moving right along.

Saying this is worth slogging through to get to Cap 2 is a testament to how good that film is, Because god this one sucks. Publically known for having gone through rewrite hell and several directors, even being remotely palatable is somewhat of a compliment. Yikes.

2024-12-12 18:01:03 +0000 UTC

Ah yes - the movie everyone agreed was pretty bad. In hindsight & after watching most of the other Marvel stuff, it's a solid 5/10 meh. Not bad, not good. It is a movie & things happened.

The Show has only had one season that could be argued as bad and that’s really just because it starts off as a monster of the week which I think gets too much of a bad rap because that direction helps us get attach to the characters and makes when the show gets into the serious storylines much more impactful

Justin Garlington

Keep watching more marvel!!

Tyler Tatom

2024-12-12 17:50:16 +0000 UTC

Just to a point, then they kinda just separate and never acknowledge each other again. Which to be fair it was to the show's benefit because the worst and most boring seasons are the ones connected to the MCU

Not that bad of a movie. Slightly above average maybe.

A bit i disagree on, i don't think Odin was written the way you're saying? You're saying hes been off this entire movie but like, he was exactly the same in the beginning as he was in the 1st movie? He cared for his people, he pushed Thor to secure peace and the respect of the people so he'd be ready to be King, the only snag he had is he didn't want his son to be distracted by someone from another realm when he's supposed to be guarding nine of them, especially someone with a very short lifespan. I think you can very clearly see his emotional shift, he didn't have a breakdown when Frigga died because him going uncaring and hateful IS his breakdown. Not to mention, hes at the end of his life, he's been pushing Thor so hard because its nearly his time so its no surprise hes very easily turned from his compassion towards his people

I like the first two Thor movies. I think it goes down the goofier the character gets.

Lee Aguera

2024-12-12 15:18:26 +0000 UTC

Funny you should say that about Sif and how she could have married Thor if Jane wasn't a thing. In Norse myth she did become Thor's wife. Although she was also a giantess and Goddess of fertility.

YukoValis

2024-12-12 15:12:00 +0000 UTC

I haven't seen this movie for a minute. It's crazy to think this was one of the worst Marvel movies for a long time when it isn't even that bad compared to some of the absolute garbage in recent years. This movie's biggest problem is that the main villain is incredibly boring. My god, it's just a constant monotone voice. At least let him be theatrical if he is going to be one-dimensional. So this movie has many good things, but also a lot of just meh. Can't wait for Captain America Winter Soldier next. That movie is fucking awesome.

Nik Jovan

2024-12-12 15:08:45 +0000 UTC

Yeah the last Ant man movie took the throne of worst marvel movie by far

Accel

2024-12-12 14:56:02 +0000 UTC

I knew there was a reason this was my 3rd least favorite marvel movie... It's one of the like 3-5 I never rewatch. Definitely at least kind of important for the overall "Marvel plot" but not nearly as well made/entertaining as others in the franchise

2024-12-12 14:52:29 +0000 UTC

I miss when this was the worst a marvel movie got. Cuz frankly its not that bad.

Big Fuze

2024-12-12 14:09:18 +0000 UTC

Ah yes, Thor the Dark World. A lot of actors didn't exactly have a great time with this one. Christopher Eccleston was pretty pissed that all the Dark Elves' back stories got cut so he just played the leader of a faction that wanted "ooooh spooky darkness". Natalie Portman was really excited to work with director Patty Jenkins, was not happy that Jenkins left over creative difference and still had to finish the movie due to the contract. Idris Elda said about the reshoots for this movie "This is torture, man. I don’t want to do this. My agent said: ‘You have to, it’s part of the deal.’" which frankly does not leave much room for interpretation. Chris Hemsworth later admitted playing Thor as he did here was like having handcuffs on, and "dying". Anthony Hopkins was more of a decisive meh towards the whole thing, admitting that he originally signed up for Kenneth Branagh - who of course didn't direct this movie. So yeah, not a lot of passion for this movie among the cast.

after this marvel really found their footing, rather watch paint dry than Thor 2, but after this is pure heat, truly the golden era of the MCU

Marvel fans are VERY opinionated on the movies, I have not watched one where I didn't enjoy the majority of it, they arent all amazing, but when your average is an 8-10 there is bound to be a 5 or 6 here and there. I am loving this journey and hope to see the end of it.

James T Williams

2024-12-12 13:16:10 +0000 UTC

The Dark World is a little poopy in comparison to the other classics of this era of Marvel but it is nowhere near the amount of shit of later films in the franchise. This one is at least still kinda fun.

Patrick Waldeck

Thor: The Dark World

Comments

Kurse (the beefed up Dark Elf) was done soooooooooo badly in this movie, Kurse in the comics is insane, he's incredibly powerful, even more than he is in this movie and he actually ends up turning good and becomes the guardian of the children of Asgard

I remember accidentally watching all the dark elf parts without any subtitles and I thought they were actually more interesting that way

SAME THANK YOU! the treatment of Odin in this movie is so bad, It ruins the movie for me. I have heard an interview where the actor said the direction was a joke, the writing was a joke, so he hated every second.

Oh so this is also a thing, you ask a few questions about shield, there was a tv show that had some continuity you are missing, basically they are really busy right now, you just haven't seen it yet.

Agreed; good ingredients, bad sandwich

There are bits and pieces of this movie that were really spectacular (Mostly Thor and Loki interactions). As a whole I think it deserves its spot near the bottom of the Marvel tier list, but... it isn't without redeeming moments.

What’s the count on 2 for 2?

Wait, as in the 9th doctor? I didn’t even realize that was Christopher eccleston

on the london weather thing: The whole fucking island is cursed by druids, it cant be anything natural

it sucks because Christopher Eccleston is such a good actor yet was given very little to work with.....he'd have been much better as Dr Doom or Strucker or something

I think this film is over hated. The villain is a bit boring but I really enjoyed most of the rest of it, especially Loki

You’re wrong about one thing, in the scene in the prison with the illusion of their mom visiting Loki, he didn’t create that, she did, she projected herself there, she’s the one that taught him how to do it, like how we saw him do in Avengers

You know that tom's spiderman is in like 3 main mcu movies

Didn’t ask you

No? Thats not apart of the mcu I doubt she’s doing that and she really shouldn’t since those are standalone and repetitive films that only connect to No Way Home

Hehehe. Surprised to hear Alicia not cry over Frigga. I don't cry normally, but I shed one tear hehe. Meanwhile I wouldn't be surprised to see Alicia cry over a chicken with less screen time depending on the day.

lol was playing Valheim as you mentioned it XD

I can't wait for Alicia to get to Winter Soldier, Guardians, Ultron, and Antman. Such great films!

i think you forgot captain america winter soldier that came out before age of ultron pretty sure

The next films in phase two are Guardians of the Galaxy. Then Avengers: Age of Ultron and finally antman

If she does, I SINCERELY hope she starts with Tobey's Spider-Man.

Anyone know if she'll do the spiderman movies (tom holland's)? Because I know they're not really needed for the main story

Fun Mythology fact: in the actual Norse myths, a giant once stole Thor's hammer and demanded Sif's hand in marriage to return it. Loki had to disguise Thor as Sif in order to get the hammer back.

I honestly never understood the hate for this movie. Is it as good as the other Thor movies? Maybe not. Is it still fun? Sure, I think so! Glad that Alicia gave this one an honest shake! (Only five minutes in so far, rewatching it makes me remember how much I enjoyed it in theaters)

Also if I'm mistaken, this was the first instance when the Tesseract was confirmed as an Infinity Stone. So that one scene not only introduces the concepts, but confirms we've already seen 2 stones.

I assume they meant that not all of the shows have importance to the movies. Can't say anything on that front myself though, as I haven't seen anything after Endgame.

This is the only MCU film I’ve watched that I’ve actively hated.

Yeah, the intention of that scene was to show it was Frigga who taught Loki his illusions, and to establish how she would save Jane later. As Thor said Loki had her tricks.

I'd say its better then I remember, but honestly I forgot almost everything, but the loki "betrayal" part.

Cheese

Worst mcu film is a toughie. I think, though I respect its ambition and visuals, Eternals story structure literally didn’t work as a film on an executions level. That’s probably my pick. If we’re talking marvel overall, my votes for Fan[4]stic. That one’s dreadful.

Right alot ifbscenes in the last two thanos movies were confusing to me cause i genuinely dont remember any of this movie

Nah its the worst mcu movie alongside love and thunder

Its the worst mcu movie easily

Its this period

Wild incredibly wild dark worlds like a 2 imo compared to hulk especially and its not even half of the movie iron man 3 is. Its a dumpster

So i honestly forget this one exists with hiw awful it is

?

Hm? not at all to what

But it was on the schedule

Not all

We can only dream

The only MCU film besides Guardians 1 and 2 that I watched before Infinity War. Funniest level of context to have.

Oh you are confused about the Infinity Stones? Don't worry, you'll get there.

Yeah, getting some experience in film and theatre, you start to see where the cracks show. Eccleston's performance was just fine, but it's clear he wasn't given the direction that the character needed, and the screentime/scenes/framing that would have made Malekith compelling in any way.

Funny you should mention that Thor would have ended up with Sif, as the mythological Thor was happily married to Sif.

I absolutely need her to watch the show it's so good

So, is a Bethesda Game? T pose with clipping between levels\worlds

And Loki has a ton of kids, Loki was the Zeus of norse mythology

wait... i IS loki?

i am %100 late to the party... but i cant be the only one whos brain went to 'bastich you know WHO' when she responded to "whos Richard?"

Loki can only love himself ...x)

remember your analysis of odin when you watch ragnarok

I thought you liked Iron Man 3 more than 2. It seemed like the ending kinda saved it, but I guess your mind changed

Will you be watching the Loki TV show once you get to that point in the MCU story?

Can’t wait for Alicia to eventually watch Iron Giant, Ratatouille, Megamind, Croods, Inside out, and all the good ones

Little does Alicia know Loki is better than a movie. He has his own entire show (takes place just after endgame) same with a lot of other Marvel shows, all of them have important content to future movies after endgame

I would love to see her reaction upon learning Loki has a whole TV series dedicated to him.

Les goooo, love it when you just genuinely do whatever you feel like doing even if it’s not on schedule

I do not remember seeing the scene where Loki transforms into a guard after his "death"

I will always assert this is my favorite of the Thor movies. I dont care what anybody says.

Alicia’s Marvel Ratings Iron Man - 8/10 Avengers - 8/10 Captain America First Avenger - 8/10 Iron Man 2 - 7.5/10 Thor - 7/10 Thor The Dark World- 6/10 Iron Man 3 - 5/10 Incredible Hulk - 4/10

It reminds me of iron man 1. Except it has a lot more comedy and drama and allows Tony to grow and not rely on his suit.

as someone who lives in England yeah that is normal weather

I do not understand why you like Iron Man 3.

I don't know which is worse, this or hulk.

Iron man 3 is such a good movie compared to hulk and Thor 2 and iron man 2. I don’t understand why she doesn’t like iron man 3.

In actual Norse mythology, Sif is Thor's wife.

Well the good news is that the rest of the movies from here on out are good to great (yes that includes Avengers Age of Ultron).

im pretty sure she has somebody telling her the order when its relevant, like how she didnt know when iron man 3 was until after avengers 1 was through and it was no longer a spoiler that tony survived

You don't talk about Fight Club.

If you're still unsure about the movie order, next is Captain America: The Winter Soldier, then Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Ant-Man to finish out Phase 2.

The warrior three a cast so expendable, you didn't even realize they replaced one of the actors!

Dark Elf ship design philosophy is just T-pose to assert dominance.

if thor wrecks your car is that vandlizum, accdent , or and act of god on the insurance

True, I’m just gassing up cap 2 tho.

My personal favorite part about Thor: The Dark World, is that it is the worst of the movies, so it only goes up from here.

its always easier for people to just blame the actor rather than the people behind the scenes since the actor has the face you can see to blame
