THOR: THE DARK WORLD WATCH ALONG!

Comments

This Thor was my least favorite of Phase 2, but the rest are good and Phase 3 is mostly hits too. Phase 4 is where things get iffy. For now, I am looking forward to the better movies to come after this one, including the Guardians and Spiderman.

I've never seen this film until today but something I did notice within the psychiatric facility scene is Selvig's chalkboard has an entry called "616 universe". This seems like a fun reference to Marvel's Mainline Continuity, better known as Earth-616. The home to most of Marvel's comic since 1939. Marvel over the years has expanded beyond a single reality thanks to time travel, possible futures, alternate realities, and new Continuities like the Ultimate Universe, also known as Earth-1610. So naturally Marvel came up with a way to track each reality, giving each reality their own Earth designation that is also used within universe as well by it's characters. The first example of Marvel exploring alternate Earths was in Avengers #86 (1971) whenever the Avengers crossed over to the world of The Squadron Supreme, a Superhero team from Earth-712, a parallel reality of Earth-616. They would later get a comic series known as Squadron Supreme (1985) and for many it's one of Marvel most underrated comics that is truly amazing. Fantastic Four #19 (1963) though would be the first story to feature an alternate Earth, Earth-6311 a reality that was enhanced with technology two thousands years before the 20th century thanks to a mysterious time traveller. This Earth never experienced the Dark Ages, unlike most realties. And of course the MCU, also known as Earth-199999 though it's not official the eyes of Marvel Studios. If I recall correctly this designation was featured in a Marvel handbook around the early 2010s so it's taken with a grain of salt. The X-Men films, along with the many differant Non MCU Marvel films, games, and animation all have their own Earth designations, existing within separate continuities.

Loki doesn't shape shift - he is creating illusions via magic that his mother Frigga taught him. They are both magicians of the highest order.

Also all the reasons you weren't a fan of this movie are the reasons why this movie flopped.

One correction you going to hear a lot is “it one down, five to go” meaning there are six infinity stones. Yeah I didn’t like this movie and still don’t because this story doesn’t grip me or moved the narrative forward. Yeah just not fan of the whole dark elf. I watched this again to follow you along the MCU path. Good news is nothing but great movies going forward.

I have not re-watched this in a long time. One thing I noticed today was, a LOT of this movie takes place in really dark environments - for extended amounts of time, over entire scenes. Getting past all the obvious stuff that made this one not so great - I wonder if leaving the audience in such dark, hard-to-see shots while the movie drags thru them - didn't also add to that sense of "why should I care" ...

This film did not flop. Not by a long shot. It surpassed the first Thor film, earning $644M at the worldwide box office. And again, every time I watch this film I enjoy it more. But it’s true that the MCU films get better and better until Endgame.

I just want to say that you really are going to have to try to pull yourself away from the "I really like a 'grounded in reality' structure." These are films based on comic books, and the comic books they are based on are very from being grounded in reality. In fact, from this point on, we are going to be getting farther and farther away from a "grounded in reality" standpoint. When Guardians of the Galaxy rolls around, the MCU will be going cosmic, and will be about as far from any reality we recognize as can be. Just try to keep these things in mind as we plow through the remaining films. All that being said, I'm still thoroughly enjoying this trip.
