Also, I feel that was the weakest of Marvels new continuity films.

Btw, what WAS ion Odin's armory? I saw the
Eye of Agamoto
Actually, current Thor cannon is more or less the movie. Thor is pissed at the humans for eating his horse and goes on a rampage. Odin gets pissed, puts on Destroyer armor and beats his ass, takes his power and casts him down to Earth to live as a powerless human. Lame leg to teach humility, doctor to teach compassion. He doesn't remember anything, but his soul keeps travelling from mortal to mortal until he reaches Donald Blake, grabs the hammer, and the rest you know...Therumancer said:
The only two complaints I had about the movie were:
1) Happened to quickly. Whole movie takes place over two days. Coulda time lapsed it to a month or so.
2) Biggest action sequence at the beginning. Woulda been nice to have another big one at the end.
Still pretty awesome.
Awesome, I was forced to wait till my girlfriend could come along, and now I can't wait more than ever. I have seen the basic ho hum comments about the movie not being good, and I know Bob is kinda hard on movies. I don't always agree with the guy, but I do trust his opinions on stuff like this. Grrr, tomorrow can't come fast enough. Thanks for letting me know the big screen didn't ruin one of my top 3 favorite Marvel characters. Now if only we could get a good Silver Surfer interpretation.
The whole crux of Thor is that he's sent to Earth to learn humility, you can't do a Thor movie without this. As for "tonally at odds" well...it's Earth full of us mortal eejits, that's Asgard full of god like beings of course there going to be different, it's from this contrast that the humour and everything else comes from.DearFilm said:
On that note (from every negative review I've seen) regarding the 'shoehorning' of Shield (the Avengers is never actually brought up) Shield in the MU deals with things above and beyond the norm', superhuman things. them NOT being in these films is like the fire brigade NOT being in Backdraft.
Having not seen the movie yet, maybe a reference to Henry Pimm (Giant Man)? He's in Marvel's recent animated series anyway, so it wouldn't' be a surprise if he made his way into the movie franchise as well.Antwerp Caveman said:
It looks really good, considering its trying to stay within the lines of the actual story. any one catch that origins of wolverine?. I didn't even go there, but i hear its baaad. Not to mention the last x men movie damn! lets hope this new one coming out is better!
