What we know about Thor 2 from the Avengers...

[kaijunexus]

So, after seeing the Avengers midnight screening, I'm wondering how this film will influence Thor 2...

Let's go over what we know for sure...


- The Bifrost is still in disrepair

- Odin summoned massive amounts of magic/energy to bring Thor to Earth (who knows what effect this has had on the King of Asgard?)

- Loki is now a prisoner of Asgard and will undoubtedly suffer some sort of punishment for his deeds

- Jane has still not been reunited with Thor

- The Tesseract is back in Odin's possession


How do you guys see these plot points factoring into Thor 2?

The Bifrost being destroyed could've thrown several of the other nine realms into chaos, however I hope Odin isn't weakened bringing Thor to earth.

I'd rather see the consequences of Odin using that magic having a more indirect effect like disturbing an ancient evil.

[04nbod]

Loki says that Odin must have used dark magic but Thor doesn't say yes or no to that. It still is open. Perhaps he made a deal with Enchantress?

[BigThor]

Loki says that Odin must have used dark magic but Thor doesn't say yes or no to that. It still is open. Perhaps he made a deal with Enchantress?

Perhaps....

Speaking of which, I really can't wait for the details of THOR II to start rolling this summer. :woot:

[DarkSovereignty]

a cool development could be that odin made the deal with enchantress, and in payment he has to help retrieve something for her, something that would require travelling to other realms. thor steps in in his fathers place with lady sif and the warriors 3, and skurge the executioner travels with them as insurance for the enchantress. just an idea.

[Gamma Burst]

Loki says that Odin must have used dark magic but Thor doesn't say yes or no to that. It still is open. Perhaps he made a deal with Enchantress?

Or with Karnilla, as she is at his level as far as sorcery goes...

Yeah, in a few weeks the news will start coming!:word:

[BigThor]

Or with Karnilla, as she is at his level as far as sorcery goes...

Odin's even higher than Karnilla in the magic department :wow:, but I wouldn't mind her being the one who contributed some of the "dark energy".

[Gamma Burst]

Odin's even higher than Karnilla in the magic department :wow:, but I wouldn't mind her being the one who contributed some of the "dark energy".

Indeed, he is. She's 'number 2', which still is impressive.
Anyway, 'dark energy' could be related to the Dark Elves....

[TTFN]

That general guy told Loki if he failed there would be no place for him to hide they couldn't find him. I wonder if they go after him on Asgard thus starting a war?

I would bet the cube can somehow repair the bifrost or build something similar.

[Lady Marion]

Dumb question: Can the Bifrost be rebuilt? Or better: Why not?

[Gamma Burst]

Dumb question: Can the Bifrost be rebuilt? Or better: Why not?

It probably can be rebuilt, but it certainly isn't easy.

[DigificWriter]

Based on an easter egg from Thor and the way The Avengers ends, I think there's a strong possibility of Thanos having a part to play in both Thor 2 and The Avengers 2, although I don't think we'll see Thanos invade Earth during the events of Thor 2, which means that Thor probably won't come back during that film and any reunion between him and Jane will involve her going to Asgard.

[marvelrobbins]

I am very Intrested In seeing In Thor 2 what Odin does to Loki.

Hopefully the earth scenes will be brief.Thor will probally bring Jane to Asgard.It's been
storngly hinted Thor 2 will mostly focus on events In Asgard and other parts of the 9 realms.

Nah my friend, it's been flat-out said by both Marvel representives and Kevin Feige.

[def28]

Loki is gonna be in some deep **** for sure.

Besides having to answer to Odin, I would think others in the Universe would be hunting him down as promised in The Avengers.

Hopefully this leads to an epic Odin vs Thanos confrontation, which would make perfect sense.

[ElMariachi]

Odin vs Thanos would be great. I would love to see Asgard invaded by Thanos instead of Earth in TA2

[psylockolussus]

I want Jane to go to Asgard :D and I want her to meet Sif. That would be really cool.

[def28]

Hopefully this leads to an epic Odin vs Thanos confrontation, which would make perfect sense.

This would be awesome.

[daderade]

I kinda agree, i think Thanos will find someone, something as a distraction for the Asgardians as he robs the vault...will get into conflict with Odin and kill him(Hopkins isnt going to do these forever)Thor AND Loki in the meantime will defeat the other baddies...Thor will inherit the Odinforce and use it in the Avengers 2 for revenge.

[R_Hythlodeus]

Am I the only one who thinks a Thanos appearance in T2 takes a little bit away from the character in TA3?

[def28]

It would depend on how much they use him I guess. From what was said between Loki and The Other in TA, I think it should be addressed. It could be that we see Thanos or hes just behind the scenes and sends others after him. Something with him should happen, even if its a credit scene. I think they should at least tease what hes capable of.

[TTFN]

If we don't see Thanos make good on his threat to Loki in TA in Thor 2, it will taint his part in it I think. He doesn't have to have a huge presence but he at least should make an appearance or statement that whatever is going down it has to do with him. Why make the threat to Loki otherwise?

Nah Thanos is nowhere near as powerful as Odin, he can't even harm him plus if anyone kills Odin it should be Surtur.

Yeah I know MCU Odin lost his eye from Laufey, but I'm under the impression that Odin didn't have the Odin Force at the time. I say this because he really didn't seem anymore powerful than Thor in the flash back scene of his Frost Giant battle.

[R_Hythlodeus]

if anyone kills Odin it should be Surtur.
This!!
There is no reason to change that.

[kaijunexus]

I'm betting the whatever the confrontation in Thor 2, some of the battle will spill over into Asgard. At the end of the film, we'll see that Odin's treasure room was raided in the chaos and some items are missing, one of which is the Infinity Gauntlet.

Then, in the after-credits scene, we see Thanos laughing putting on the gauntlet.

[BigThor]

This!!
There is no reason to change that.

Yep and they should both die in the process, not just Odin.

I wouldn't say "nowhre near" Thor, is nowhere near as powerful as Odin.

Well, it could all be a part of Thanos' plan. What if Thanos knew he couldn't defeat Odin. Hence this attack on Earth, Thor needed to be there, so Odin uses this Dark Energy to get Thor there, greatly weakening him, so then Thanos can kill him?

I would like that. Seeing Thor inherit the odinforce...

When they fought in the comics Thanos wasn't even able to faze Odin, I'd say that qualifies him as being nowhere near him.

Regardless, everyone knows that if anyone kills Odin it should be his mortal enemy a.k.a "Surtur" not Thanos.

Considering on how powerful Surtur has been made out to be, I'm surprised that he hasn't made into an Avengers villain as well, more so than Thanos.

[ironmaidenrules]

I hope to see Loki and Thor team up.like Thor needs Loki for information while tracking enchantress and Loki knows all the dark magic spots in all the nine realms. Then we get Loki betray Thor only to get betrayed by enchantress.

[BigThor]

Considering on how powerful Surtur has been made out to be, I'm surprised that he hasn't made into an Avengers villain as well, more so than Thanos.

Well he's more of Odin's adversary than Thor's, which makes sense because Odin is more powerful than the entire Avenger's squad.

[L0ngsh0t]

This is a really cool idea. I think a really cool way to evolve your idea might be:

Enchantress says the payment is Loki as the price Thanos has put on his head is so high she would require no other payment. Thor asks if there is any other way and she says if he can retrieve one of the Infinity Gems for her the payment will be considered fullfilled, but if he can't get one in a matter of time the Excecutioner will take Loki to Thanos.

So Thor, Loki, Excecutioner and maybe Jane Foster (her ability to read star maps gets her into the story) set out on a dangerous quest throughout the Nine Realms to find an infinity gem.

For sake of story Enchantress requests the one that lets you control the dead and once she gets it she creates an army of undead to take over Asgard.

I dunno something along this line could be interesting....and it would intro the Infinity Gems for Avengers 2

I dunno something along this line could be interesting....and it would intro the Infinity Gems for Avengers 2I like the idea of them going on a quest for an Infinity Gem. It would tie in well with what TA has established. Though I'd prefer if more than just Thor, Skurge, Loki, and Jane went on the quest. I'd like to see Amora, Sif, and the Warriors Three go along, too. Basically it'd be like a fantasy adventure epic. Or maybe just Sif comes along (I expect there'll be some romantic tension between her, Thor, and Jane) while the Warriors Three stay behind in Asgard to keep an eye on things there.

[Neo_3]

I don't like the idea of having the gems overpowering Thor 2. Thor 2 should have a core Thor villain as the #1 idea and maybe have a side part where the WT and Sif for the gem.

[L0ngsh0t]

Well I think an Infinity Gem would be a logical device to illicit a quest throughout the nine realms

I think in what I came up with Enchantress would be the main villainess.

I think having Skurge as the Executioner go with would be important as he is kind of the "watch dog" of the group. It be fun if early in the quest Loki tried to run and Executioner kicked his ass to show how strong he is....Thor cautiously respects Skurge's power and choses to not engage him in battle but at the end of the movie they square off in a big fight.

He didn't stay down. And since then he has gotten upgrades I think. I think.

So now I see it more as Odin>>Thanos, opposed to Odin>>>>>Thanos

I do agree with Surtur. But the only reason I say have Thanos kill him, is cause I can almost see Surtur being used for 3. And if Odin dies in 3, and Thor inherits the Odinforce, there really won't be another film for him to use it. Thats why I wouldn't mind having Thanos kill a weakened Odin in 2 for the IG (since most likely we wont see Surtur in 2), and then have a WHOLE OTHER movie where Thor can have, and try to master the Odinforce

:thor::thor:

unless Hulk gets angry enough, and is the world breaker...:doh:

No more Loki getting his ass kicked. No more.

And I thought that actually Thor was significantly stronger than Skurge?

[BigThor]

Yup yup

World Breaker Hulk is nowhere near Odin either, we've seen how easily Zeus knocked him around during their confrontation.

No more Loki getting his ass kicked. No more.

Thor is quite a bit stronger than Skurge, but their strength is close enough to where they can still go toe to toe.

[MarvelKnight]

If odin's weapons chamber gets raided I wouldn't mind seeing the Eye of Agamotto being lifted as well, leading into Dr. Strange as the second movie in 2014

[L0ngsh0t]

I think Loki should play it right down the middle between good guy and bad guy for the rest of his run in MCU....maybe whenever the characters curtain call is he ultimately ends up being a hero and getting redeption....but we're a few movies away from that imo.

Can we kill off a member of the Warriors Three?

I think that would be a lot of people on a quest...to make the stakes high I wouldn't mind seeing them kill off a warrior or two...but I also am not quite as invested in the comics as other people might be so I don't know what they can or can't do

[BigThor]

I wouldn't be happy with one of the Warrior's Three dying, I'm also sure we won't see Skurge and Amora "hanging out" with Thor & Co.

[cherokeesam]

Considering on how powerful Surtur has been made out to be, I'm surprised that he hasn't made into an Avengers villain as well, more so than Thanos.

Surtur's had a few run-ins with the Avengers. During "Fire and Ice," he and Ymir were summoned to Earth and the Avengers had to fight both of them. And I'm pretty sure Surtur was part of the "Acts of Vengeance" where villains were paired up against heroes who weren't typically their archenemies.

I know. I was being sarcastic lol. The featless World Breaker Hulk

[BigThor]

I know. I was being sarcastic lol. The featless World Breaker Hulk

I wouldn't call World Breaker Hulk featless, he did some pretty off the scale stuff in the events surrounding World War Hulk.

It's just that it takes far more than raw physical strength to defeat an All Father, no matter how much strength you have.

Not on topic, but none of the instances you've mentioned featured worldbreaker Hulk. Not his fight with zeus or world war hulk ( he only appears at the very end of it).

World War Hulk didn't feature World Breaker Hulk and didn't his fight with Zeus happen after WWH?

Anyways it really wouldn't matter he would still get his ass kicked by Zeus or Odin with relative ease.

[Gamma Burst]

World War Hulk didn't feature World Breaker Hulk?

No, it didn't. Worldbreaker is something completely different.It only appeared in a coupe of panels at the end of WWH(where he begged for the heroes to take him down, like sentry/void on Siege). And I honestly don't know if zeus or Odin would 'kick his ass'. From what he was capable of doing, they would have a hard time with him, at least.

Well regardless I just can't see someone who destroy's galaxies at half power having trouble with any form of Hulk.

[ironmaidenrules]

Doesn't hulk have a weakness for magic?

This. I don't see sinking the eastern sea board with a step that much of a feat.

Not compared to someone who literally one shotted Surfer, Adam Warlock, then slapped Thanos around Asgard like a big blue toddler.

I know that "Thor 2" is probably going to make a hell of a lot more money than its predecessor thanks to "The Avengers".

[The Morningstar]

Loki is going to be ****ting himself. Both Odin and Thanos won't be happy.

I think Jane will be involved in somehow helping to fix the BiFrost.

I think we'll see more of Thor as a mature leader who accepts his responsibilities.

I'm definitely looking forward to how that's dealt with.

That's what I'm saying and Skurge is no slouch, he was even fought Hulk to a stand still before.

[charl_huntress]

I've been lurking in this thread to see if I could get the answer to this, but I couldn't find it so hopefully you Thor fans can help me out.

I have not seen Avengers....I'm waiting for blu ray. My question is does Avengers answer the question of the auroras Jane was researching when she first met Thor? I was watching Thor again with a friend of mine recently and I noticed she mentioned there had been others that usually occured in some kind of pattern. Again, since I haven't seen Avengers I don't know if that is connected to that so I'm curious...

Thanks

No, Jane's research was not mentioned. Jane herself was mentioned in a little scene and that's all.

I took it as effects that appear from people travelling the Rainbow Bridge, given that it appears when Thor comes. Asgardians probably don't travel there often but since Midgard is the mid realm you would probably pass it even if you're going to another realm, which could be why she's seen it before.

[charl_huntress]

The more important question is, Why did you not see Avengers in theaters?

HaHa... I have a very nice 60" HD/3D TV at home with excellent surround.

Plus, movies are so expensive these days, I just try to be patient and wait to buy it on blu-ray. I know....I'm cheap, but I'm trying to buy a house in CA.

That makes sense. Though it stood out because she kept saying there was a pattern. Then she finds Thor on one of the expeditions.

I do hope they explore exactly what she has been researching. Jane's research was very important in the movie and SHIELD wanted her to continue, but it is never explained...lol

Believe me, some movies deserves it to watch them in the theater. TA is one of them. An home entertainment center is no match with a big screen, as good as it may be.

Yes, that does make sense. Yet, how do you explain the fact of Jane being able to detect the bifrost, so she was there when Thor appeared? Again, my issue is the research that led Jane to the EXACT spot of the bifrost opening. My basic question is why was she in the desert to begin with? Why did she bring Selvig with her? Why did she call him to begin with?

I just felt like these basic questions were not answered and I wondered if there was some "comic" explanation I was missing that was answered by the comics.

[charl_huntress]

Yes...but my TV is really good and I have to save money. When I weigh the cost of watching a movie in the privacy of my own home vs. a movie theater. My home always wins. Plus, I HAVE to save money because I'm buying a house. I have no choice, but to cut out the finer things. Believe me it is hard...but I'll watch movies once I have a garage.


:yay:

[Lady Marion]

Oh, that's hard and I can understand that you have to save money for your house. I bought a house last year and I know how it is to be constantly in the red at the bank account. But it's absolutely worth. I wish you much luck in your new home!

Plus, I HAVE to save money because I'm buying a house. I have no choice, but to cut out the finer things. Believe me it is hard...but I'll watch movies once I have a garage.


:yay:

Heh heh...you don't owe anyone an explanation. Bottom line, it's just a movie. Some of these Avengers zealots would've probably sold their first born child for a movie ticket. :meanie:

Hey, I got an offer I couldn't refuse. :dry:

No, not my child, but I would think over if they asked for my mother-in-law.:oldrazz:

I can't wait to see what Odin does to Loki infact I could totally imagine the first trailer having Odin narrarare lokis crime against humanity and punish him.

You know, I just noticed that we seem to like relishing the thought of Loki suffering don't we? I think this sort of talk has been going on since the Avengers was announced and the height of Loki's treachery on Earth was known. I'd stated this in the Loki thread I believe, but if Odin banished Thor just for riling up the Frost Giants, just imagine what punishment Loki will face for all the people he murdered on Earth, and possibly in other realms for Thanos. Odin is not the sort to be trifled with, not even if you're a member of his house.

It's one of the few sure things we're expecting to see for Phase II.

I hope to hear Odin say this to Loki, "THAT is strength, boy! THAT is power! The strength and power of flesh! What is steel, compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste... Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him!". Oh wait, wrong movie.:oldrazz:

[Godzilla2000]

Well regardless whatever lines Odin will be given addressing Loki's crimes it will be of the highest caliber drama wise.

I am curious ... does it matter that he just appeared in Avengers? Do we have to know what happened in between the two films or does that have to be explained in the new Thor pic? Is it better or worse from a fan standpoint to have them start the next film from the end of the Avengers and just not tell us what happened? I would like them to pick up and explain but at the same time it doesn't really matter does it?

Well, what happened in The Avengers affected every character in big, BIG ways. I'm pretty sure every phase 2 film will definitely acknowledge those events to an extent, probably Cap 2 the most though.

[marcvader]

He raised a lot of hell in Asgard and on Earth when last we saw him and needs to be dealt with by his dad. This needs to be touched upon .

[herolee10]

I hope that this film actually shows a flashback or explains very well on the means that Odin took to send thor back to Earth in the first place and how that might have had consequences as well.

- The Bifrost is still in disrepair


Well, they're going to have to get it fixed so that Surtur can break it again. . . .

[jaqua99]

HaHa... I have a very nice 60" HD/3D TV at home with excellent surround.

Plus, movies are so expensive these days, I just try to be patient and wait to buy it on blu-ray. I know....I'm cheap, but I'm trying to buy a house in CA.

Movie theaters have 60 foot screens with more than likely better sound lol.

10 bucks isn't too bad.

Just think how many times he could have seen Avengers if he sold the TV...what a waste.

haha ya.

But sorry guys for bringing that up. It was over a month ago. Didn't realize

[charl_huntress]

Alright...got my blu-ray copy yesterday and I have FINALLY seen The Avengers...lol.

Quick question, does anyone know how much time has passed between Thor and The Avengers?

Almost one year. Someone has worked it out based on information in the movies, dating everything from the Grand Prix of Monaco, from Iron Man 2, as well as the rough timeline Marvel released.

In general, they seem to have a given movie take place about 1 year before its release date (which tends to coincide with when it was filmed). That implies that the events of Thor 2 will be/are set in the fall of 2012.

Here is the link to the timeline. It's a handy reference: http://www.filmbuffonline.com/FBOLNewsreel/wordpress/2012/05/13/a-marvel-cinematic-universe-timeline-2-0/

Cool....Thanks!

edit:

WOW...this timeline is very detailed.

You actuall spend more buying the Blu-Ray than actually going to the theater. (This ofcourse assuming you don't have kids to take to the movies)

[charl_huntress]

No kids, but add in a dinner, cost of gas, and concessions, etc... and it usually ends up being a $100 night when all is said and done.

edit:

Just to add, I just checked my email and I my 3D copy of The Avengers was on 19.99. Apparently, since I pre-ordered I was guaranteed the lowest price. Yippee!

BRAINFLASH!!! Thor IS Surtur..... It was all a trick, Thor is the adopted backstabbing son!

It all makes sense now...........
