>The result is a film that is enjoyable in spots, but haphazard and ultimately unsatisfying. As with "Iron Man 3," these films are increasingly feeling like episodes of TV shows or, perhaps more appropriately, issues of comic books. For all the good gags and eye candy, this ultimately boils down to yet another quest to find a magical MacGuffin that will stop a portal in the sky from opening (seriously, has that become one of the Seven Basic Plots at this point?). And while the hardcore geek crowd may eat that up, the rest of us need these films to distinguish themselves a little more if we're going to have one every six months.

Uh, is that even a word?

It's probably just a typo.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier trailer:

Looks good.

>>39144
Aw cool, Falcon.

Weirdos in masks and suit? just another day in stockholm.
And I hope rule 63 Fury comes back with a SUPER gimmic for season 2.
Also any theorys about any classic villains being behind the eye-thing?

Huh...
I have never Lovehated a show as much as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Thats whats happens when you mix awful hackers with awesome super stuff.
The secret agent stuff is eh.
Also I hope that Scorch somehow survived.
They did say something radioactivity so maybe he became a living meltdown or something.

damn porn, always skipping the line.

Who's Better: Thor or Loki?

Watched Thor 2 earlier today.

Ehhh mostly same as Iron Man 3 I guess. Some fun jokes and scenes beween Thor and Loki, occasional good scene, the final fight was okay. Too much of a sci fi feel, not muh Asgard (starship fights?! REALLY?!).

It was nice that they got Hogun right (in that he's from another of the nine worlds, Marvel forgot that on a relatively recent comic). Volstagg, on the other hand, was still too skinny. Not many displays of power, almost felt like that Hercules live action tv show in some parts I guess.

As for the two post-credits scenes, I think the second one would be more at home in the beginning of the credits, since it had more to do with the movie.

>>39188
Forgot to comment: interesting to see Chris Yost's name on the credits as one of the writers, can only wonder what on it was his doing. He usually does well in comics. Also, Craig Kyle as producer.

>>39190
O U Japan

>>39190
Fangirls across the world are making their way to steal those signs.

>>39191

China, actually.

>>39195
Yea China has become a movie watching powerhouse now that the government is steadily coming around to giving the studios their cut.

>>39195
Well damn, I should have payed more attention to the moon runes. At least enough to not make that big of a slip.

Wait.

So.

Is Odin dead? Was that what I was supposed to take away from that ending scene? I mean, in terms of where that puts Loki for future films it's much better than him running off shouting "You win this time!" but it feels like kind of a cop-out to kill of the king of Asgard off-screen. And what was up with that Collector scene? Will that guy be important? That scene felt so tacked-on, like they didn't realize until they were already done with the film that they needed to introduce that particular plot thread. They didn't even bother adding 3D to it!

Other than those grips, it was a very solid, entertaining film. Easily better than the first Thor movie.

>>39207

Having only read about the scene on Wikipedia, yes, it’s important. We now know of two Infinity Stones: the Tesseract and the Aether. That leaves four left to reveal over the course of Phases Two and Three, and I expect another one to show up — even if just in passing — during Guardians of the Galaxy, given its connection to the Cosmic portion of the Marvel Universe. We also know that Thanos exists in the MCU (courtesy of the mid-credits scene in The Avengers), and the same goes for the Infinity Gauntlet (courtesy of a brief glimpse inside the Asgardian vault in Thor).

Put all that together with The Collector’s line about ‘one down, five to go’ and the vague rumblings and rumors about MCU Phase Three, and you’ll see what makes the scene so important: it’s a setup for the Infinity Gauntlet storyline, which is rumored to be the main plot driver/storyline for MCU Phase Three.

Back from Thor 2.
It was the most fun I had in a cinema all year.
Yes even more then Pacific Rim.
Why?
A spaceship got stabbed to death!
A fight across dimensions!
Frostbeast chasing birds .
And no punking of bad ass robots before they could show off...

Also for Thor 3 I hope they get into the more wtf parts of norse mythology.
Even just a bit.
Loki's fate worst then death atlest.

Well I am of reading some Valhalla comics.
Want me to storytime one on /co/?

Oh, I forgot, WHERE THE FUCK WAS BALDER, (and the other spawn of Oden)?!
Dating Hela like in the valhalla comics?

>>39233
>Loki's fate worst then death atlest.
You mean getting impregnated by a horse?

The Captain America Cameo was really fun.

>>39237
Heh wonder if we get
>Tries to find pic of comic Female Loki Pregnant
>Did you mean Loki Mpreg
...FAAAAAAAN GIRRRRRRLS!!!!!

Regardless some of this stuff gives me a good idea who would be good for a Female Loki

>>39237
I was thinking of something way worse when I saw his last scene in the movie.
>>39242
Yeah, and you can tell they had a blast filming it too.
>>39244
I think I saw one in /cod/, check the preg-thread.

>>39207
>hey didn't realize until they were already done with the film that they needed to introduce that particular plot thread
It was no different from Fury at the end of IM1 or or the cube at the end of Thor. It's just to show what's coming next.

>>39244
>>39244
>...FAAAAAAAN GIRRRRRRLS!!!!!
If you're looking up pictures of an impregnated, genderbent version of a character, you are hardly in a position to complain about the weird internet fetishes of others.

>>39257
No I'm talking about Looking for Genderbent Loki Preggers and end up getting..yea

>>39257
But impregnated, genderbent Loki predates the internet by like a thousand years.

DUDE GAVE BIRTH TO BIRTH TO A HORSE!

>>39259
But he was a Mare at the time so its not that fuck up.
Or as weird as norwegian park rangers speaking english among one another.
Yet points for having a scandinavian actor.

>>39259
Loki only got knocked up by a horse because his brother Odin didn't want to pay for construction work.

>>39237
You don't know about the snake venom in the eyes?

>>39264
No, I know that one, but the Younger Eddas are of questionable canonicity. Too much influence from Christians trying to turn Loki into a Satan figure instead of a lovable asshole trickster.

>>39266
But it makes for such a badass image.

The reason the earth shakes is a god/giant is thrashing against his chains because a snake drips venom on his eyes.

>>39264
In fairness, that wall was some total bullshit anyways.

Finally watched Thor Part Deux. Pretty damn awesome, liked it even better than the original.

I know a lot of people found Malekith to be bland and boring... but you know, I actually quite liked that he was so cold and business-like about his scheme. He gloats very little, doesn't yell or waste time with speeches, but simply goes direcly to the point.

I mean, the moment he step outside the assult ship on Asgard, the very first hing he does is to take one of those black hole grenades, and throws it at Odin's throne without missing a beat or uttering a word. A very simple moment that speaks wonders of the character and what he feels, you don't expect that kind of subtlety from superhero movies.

About the Odin/Loki thing at the end, I seriously doubt the old man is dead. It would go against what the movie was doing with Loki. Yes, he is a scheming tracherous fuck, but he is alsot not really that hateful towards his foster family as he likes to pretend to be. He probably has Oding locked in a secret place, and pays him daliy visits to taunt him about the reversal or roles.

Also, from what I understand, the scene at the beginning with Lokin being brought after Odin for judgment, happens right after the events in Avengers, and then there is a time skip more or less a year. That means the earht has seen two different and very public alien incursions in a very short time. Better get used to it, Marvel civilians!

An Open Letter to Marvel:

Dear Marvel,

Please either give Darcy her own movie or make her the lead on Agents of SHIELD.

Love, Anonymous.

>>39276
You know, for a reluctant comedy-relief sidekick, she actually is surpisingly helpful. Wiithout her actions, Malekith would have won.

>>39276
Meh, I could take her or leave her.

Also, seconding >>39276, I really like Darcy. Good support character for Jane, and has very funny interactions with Thor. "So how was Space?"

>>39280
> SUBTITLES BAD

I wish I could punch that person.

>>39280
Also, while I do agree that Ian was superfluous to the plot, Jane's date was perfectly fine. The guy barely appears, and it makes sense that after two years she is trying to do SOMETHING with her social life, if she was still sulking it would be creepy.

Rewatching the movie, I caught thatt he Delves' ships did not seem to have any sort of weapons, they relied solely on ramming to attack. That's both awesome and retared at the same time.

>>39287
So good old 40k tech then.
But I think it when pew pew at one point.
>>39285
Man, he sure would hate living in EU.

So Thor 2 was a much better movie than Iron Man 3.

Anyone else find it a bit odd that there isn't going to be a toy of the Asgardian SPACE LONGBOATS? Those suckers were toyetic as all get out.

>>39275
Re: Spoiler - That's actually happened before in the comics, so, could be part of the next movie.

>>39290
Which speaks well of Thor 2, as Ironman 3 wasn't bad

>>39285

It just made no sense to me. The Asgardians all speak friggin' english. The aliens working for Thanos in the Avengers movie all spoke english. Why not the Dark Elves? It seems like such a nonsensical choice. Honestly though, subtitles wouldn't have mattered that much if the villains had any good lines outside of stock phrases and exposition.

>>39295
It was obviously to accentuate that the Dark Elves were extra alien-like (even from the perspective of millenia old extradimensional space gods), coming from whatever darkness was before the universe.

>>39293
I'll have to disagree on that last part.
