Thor: The Dark World

And we (Europe) got this a week before the US will. Go us! It was fun. Though you can't catch the Tube from Charing Cross to Greenwich. And what's with Marvel and London, anyway? They fucked around with this city in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer as well. But the Royal Navy-buildings got pretty demolished. At some point Bee leaned over and asked 'What has Marvel got against cities anyway?' 'They're all countryboys at heart,' I said.

And poor Eric Selvig. He's not doing all that well, after being possessed by Loki and all. In that light, I can kind of forgive him for being happy to learn Loki is dead. Even if he did remember who gave him that news and then offered his condolences. Still, running around Stonehenge naked? What the hell were you doing, Eric? And why did you have to take off all your clothes to do that? I guess we will never know.

So, Loki died a hero. I wonder what he thinks of that. Well, and we say 'died'. Of course he won't stay dead. He's a major antagonist, and the Master of Mischief. He'd find a way to come back. But he died pretty well, and if he did do this in order to fool Thor and maybe make him feel some remorse then he did it well. Because Thor was pretty cut up about it.

I still wonder about Malekith's goals. So the Dark Elves want to turn the universe into darkness? So they can be the only ones in it? Those that are left, that is. Most of them got killed by Malekith himself. And when is the last time Christopher Eccleston played a human? They're like Daleks, and I never thought that I would see the Doctor on the side of the Daleks.

Heimdall was such a badass, yo. The way he took down that Dark Elf-fighter ship. That's when the rest came in, and he knew he was not up for that, so he did what he was supposed to do. Until the Kursed stopped by and broke the forcefield.
During his talk with Thor about not going to betray his king, I did want to say, 'Well, what about the first film, when you went against Loki? He was your king at that moment, and you still went against his wishes. What's so different about this time from then? Both times, it had to do with Thor, though the first time it was Lady Sif and the Warriors Three asking you.'

And we had more Darcy. I do like her, and I was glad to see her. 'You saved my life!' and who was the one bent over? Ian the intern, because Darcy does not do the damsel-thing. I loved that moment.

I laughed so long at the Stan Lee-cameo. I mean, really, is there no role that he considers to be beneath him in order to appear in these films? He was a resident of the asylum the police had put Eric Selvig in after he he had been arrested at Stonehenge. he did spend most of the film being somewhat of a comedic figure. That's a far cry from the man we met in the first Thor-film. Bit of a shame. And do we still have asylums like that these days? it looked like an extra set from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

I am miffed about Frigga dying. She went out like a hero, like an Asgardian, but that does not mean that I wanted to see her go.

If Odin, during Thor's speech about how he does not want to be king was actually Loki, then where was Odin? Up in his room, brooding and fuming? What happened to Lady Sif and the Warriors Three and Heimdall because of their treason?

Regarding the stinger, what are the infinity stones, and does this have to do with a third Thor-film or the second Avengers?
