Look freaking epic IMHO, I've always had a big weakness for miniaturization, I grew up watching Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Fantastic Voyage, so this is a big win for me. The Yellowjacket suit is freaking badass looking as well.

Ironman 2 is my favorite Ironman because it had the most tech. The Thor teaser at the end does not motivate to watch either of the movies because it's all magic, no technology or science.

The first Thor I just heard my co-workers watching it. I did not see any video, just the audio. I was not motivated to the see the 2nd Thor movie so that one I had no exposure to at all.

You should try the audio, as there is a line in the first film (admittedly the poorest of the two, for me) that specifically addresses your gripe with magic/science.

you guys can criticize me for this if you want, but I had to bring this to everyone's attention..........

so, your fave is IM 2??

I've changed, grown, and evolved. The execution and implementation of the story made me like Ironman 2 even though the idea seemed at first to be boring and unoriginal.

Beyond that: Tonight on AOS, we find out why May is called "the Cavalry". Should be interesting.

This is his period of lucidness. That or there are actually 2 different people masquerading as him. Or a case of multiple personalities.

Maybe I should watch Thor 1 and 2. Perhaps I'll feel differently afterwards.

Which explains the multiple ISP's Burn discovered.

It's been a while since I actually yelled at my computer screen. How the hell did they not guess some of those answers? And the teams should have been Thor, Cap, and Banner vs. Stark, Widow and Hawkeye. >:oP

Perhaps you should! Despite the small connections to the wider MCU, the second film is a fun watch, with good dialogue, great effects and some decently emotional parts to the dynamics among Asgardians, and between them and Earth (among other things). And it sort of redeems the 'meh'ness of the first one, in my view.

I'm also pretty sure they'll be crucial once we reach Thor 3: Ragnarok.

IMO the Thor films are the weakest of the MCU so far. I think they're both only barely interesting, and the 1st film is why I don't like Agent Coulson and wasn't sad to see him go in Avengers. The only really good part of Thor 2 was Loki's clever trick, and unlike the other MCU films, it actually left me with enough interest to look forward to Thor 3.

More or less my thoughts, too. But at the same time, I thought Thor 2 was a good bag of humour, silly science and sort of magic - with an emotional drive - something that the first one kind of ignored to highlight more the visuals of Asgard and its universe.

I liked Thor 1 better than Cap 1.

Captain America should've been more like Band of Brothers IMO, but instead it truncated Roger's greatest achievements during the war into a five minute compilation of him and the howling commandos blowing things up. Don't get me wrong, it had it's decent aspects, but I place it just above Hulk on my list of the good solo movies.

Whereas with Thor 1, I had low expectations for thT film because as much as I love the comics and Asgard and Thor himself and viking lore in general, I figured it would make for a weird movie; but it ended up being probably my favorite of the solo franchises.
