I actually really liked Thor: The Dark World. Loki was fantastic as always. There were some really fun moments, like the cell ringing in the cave, Thor asking about who the guy on the other end of the phone was, Thor and Maleketh falling off the Gherkin, etc.

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.

**** you both.

I thought Thor was the weakest of the phase 1 movies, but I still thought it was really fun.

Is The Incredible Hulk a part of Phase 1? And did Phase 1 conclude with Avengers, or was that the start of Phase 2?

Incredible Hulk is part of Phase 1, hence the inclusion of Stark's consulting part.

Avengers is the close of Phase 1, As Avengers 2 will be the close of Phase 2.

Actually, I believe Ant-Man is the final film in Phase 2. Which is why I think that Ultron isn't the work of Stark alone. With Hank Pym in the picture, Ant-Man may be more important than we realize.

Phase 3 starts off with Civil War.

They've already said Pym has nothing to do with Ultron.

Incredible Hulk was the second movie in Phase 1 (The first being, naturally, Iron Man) and yes, Avengers was the finale to Phase 1.

We've also been told Robin wouldn't be in TDKR, Scott Summers and Jean Grey wouldn't be in Days of Future Past, Shockwave would be the main villain of DOTM, etc. etc. etc.

This is why we have the phrase "take that with a grain of salt."

He's already said that in one of the trailers that he created Ultron.

Really I think that Tony likely f%^*%d something up royally thus causing everything to do with Ultron.

on another note there was a short article posted yesterday I think basically touching on the upcoming Civil War story and how on AOS you currently have the mini SHEILD civil dispute between Coulson's SHEILD and the "new" SHEILD under Gonzalas.

The weird thing however is if Coulson is on the side with secrets but also wanting to maintain the registry of powered people, that should put them on the side of Stark, with the new SHIELD on Caps side.

So the biggest Captain America and Howling Commandos Fanboy in the Son of Coul, may actually fall into the other camp......

strangeness abound.

Actually it's been shown that Gonzales is even more hostile towards anyone who isn't 100% human, since his beef with Coulson stems from Coulson having a bit of Kree blood in him.

Not new, but still fun to watch...

I say cap is faking it, since in traditional Marvel lore, Cap (and his daughter) is one of the extremely few worthy enough of lifting Thor's Hammer.

What about the MCU makes you think "traditional Marvel lore" means anything here?

I'm willing to bet at some point he's going to lift the hammer. If not in this film then in a future one.

I have 3 theaters within 30 minutes of home.

I won't have a chance to watch until it's been in theaters for a week.

**** having to be at work right now. :BOOM:

My theater is 5 minutes away; it is a locally owned, historic 100 year old building; it has a stage and a curtain and has hosted live performances by the local public schools, as well as had Elvis back in the day. Last year through a kickstarter they raised over 100,000 to renovate, adding luxery seating and a brand new digital projector; they will be getting Avengers on opening day! But since I work in a restaurant, I don't get to enjoy weekends the way other people do.

**** having to work on the weekends. :-(
