The Big Picture: Who Was That in Thor 2?
- Thread starter MovieBob
- Start date
I'm still hung up on the scepter - my friend and I (and presumably everyone else) have been assuming that it was the Mind gem by itself, but Collector says "1 down, 5 to go." The Aether is almost certainly Power, but is the Tesseract an individual stone separate from the scepter or did it create the scepter? If the former, would that make the Tessearct the purple "Space" stone since it can open portals? If so, why can it also kill people like in Cap. America, unless no one actually died but were just teleported somewhere? And if all THAT is true, does that mean we're technically halfway through the "hunt?" And if Thanos really needs the stones/gems, did he really trust Loki to beat the Avengers and not lose the scepter?
Also, from a quick search on wikipedia - a list of the other stone owners that might end up on film:
-Yellow (reality): Nebula, Guardians of the Galaxy (played by Karen "shaved head Amy Pond" Gillan)
-Green (soul): Dr. Strange (they're making it sound like he's close to getting a movie in "season" 3)
-Orange (time): Gamora, Guardians (Zoe Saldana)

Thanks for the explanation! I vaguely knew who the Collector and Elders of the Universe were but I've never read anything with them. I read comics on occasion, more so lately because I've given up on stores and just buy online but I?m not a devoted fan so I don't know much about the histories of a lot the characters or the industry. It interesting to know. I just pick up arcs that look interesting and don?t seem too reliant on other stories I've not read and Wiki anything I don?t understand (which is how too unwittingly lose a whole day, like tv tropes).
Woah. The Collector totally looks like...
The lead singer of Rammstein.
And I really don't know if that would be weirder.

Its way more fun to have a comic book encyclopedia tell me about all this crap then reading all of it.
I really enjoy getting explanations to stuff that I don't really know but understand is somehow important in the Marvell movies... And getting much of the back-story to all comics I don't have time to read or really want to read...
I was also really wondering who that funny looking somehow important dude was...
So thanks MovieBob!

Seconding that. I'd pay good money AND treat all my mates to see that!Makabriel said:
I have to admit though...Death is female?!? I'd make a Lady Death reference here, but that'd be too obvious. Instead, I have to ponder something else and look in the directions of Aurora from the Sonic comics and the Valkyrie from Norse mythology. (And the Thor movies, if they'd bother to make an appearance in those.)
I agree on the Netflix series, and think that because of that they might even be able to delve a bit into the darker themes of the Marvel Knights. Since this is all in one, much larger continuity it can't get too dark, but I am excited nonetheless. IMO I think they've earned the benefit of the doubt. Can't wait!Falseprophet said:
The first thing I did after I came home from the movie was power on the computer and go to google to type in "The Collector Marvel" and start reading
I do hope thou that they keep the Movies away from the series and don't start entangling them toghether, would be too much to follow :/

Yeah as soon as that stinger came up on the big screen I was left having to describe what the stones were and their importance to my Dad. By the way, stay right through the credits guys. It just irks me to see that people still get up and go at the end of a Marvel movie nowadays. Its not much, but at least you'll be given a proper introduction to Snowflake!
Sigh. I wish someone could make a good DC movie. Funny enough, my dad still understands a quarter of this stuff from when he read Marvel back in the day.
It's common media wisdom to release a series weekly, but so far Netflix has been ignoring common wisdom with their original shows. All of Arrested Development Season 4 was released at once, same with all of House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and Hemlock Grove. It's possible Disney could get a different arrangement with them, but my guess is they won't. On the other hand, I don't think they've released four complete but overlapping series before. It might be they release a complete series every month, then release the Defenders cross-over miniseries in month 5?Strain42 said:
Guess we'll have to wait and see.
There are few things in life I enjoy more than watching Benicio del Toro Benicio del Toroing around on the screen, and he Benicio del Toroed the hell out of that scene, so I'm really looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy. It's nice to have the info and everything, so I sincerely thank you for that, Mr. Chipman, but honestly, I wouldn't have even cared as long as I got to watch him make holding a box into an interpretative dance.
Somehow you managed to make me even more excited about ALL of the upcoming Marvel films than I was already.
I think the term "fuck yeah" is fitting in this context.
