but it's different. The face of the MCU, in a way, is the avengers. They are going to be the ones to stop thanos more than likely

But the thing was that they established in the first film that having the title of King in Asgard basically entails that you be in charge of maintaining the peace throughout the realms and if one foe emerges that threatens all of that, then Odin should meet it head on since he's still more powerful than Thor at the moment.

[mkilban2]

They've never actually said that Odin is stronger/more powerful than Thor in the MCU though have they? Just because he's the one who maintains peace in the realms doesn't mean he's also the most powerful physically. I'm just highly doubting we see a comic book Odin in power levels in the MCU. But maybe if like Godzilla said something, like Thanos or someone else, made him get physically involved we would see that he'd essentially wipe the floor with anyone, which would be cool, but not really needed in the MCU.

[metaphysician]

Eh, Thor pretty clearly implied that Odin was on another level than Thor and the rest. Note that Thor *and* his whole band were something Laufey was going to kill, good fight or not. Odin shows up, everyone halts, and when Laufey himself attacks Odin, Laufey and everyone else gets blasted back for their efforts.

[mkilban2]

I guess I always just took that scene as a sign of respect towards Odin that they ceased attack, tagged along with him being a great warrior in his early days (the beginning of the movie scene) It does make sense that Odin is stronger than Thor, but I still don't think we'd ever see him battle. More like he'll die and his strength will be added to Thor's somewhere down the line.

Yeah Odin can be very intimidating when full of the Odin Force and the frost Giant scene was when he was in a weakened state.

yeah, I just don't think we'll ever see MCU Odin at full Odin force level, or ever fight at all.. save that for the comics, or eventually for Surtur if they want to use him there I suppose, but I think in Thor movies, just give me Thor doing the cool stuff.

[Vartha]

Well it sounded like Hopkins was wanting out and this was the last movie for him. I bet we see the All Father missile somewhere

I still stand by the theory that it will take all of the MCU good guys to stop Thanos not just the Avengers.

[Vartha]

If he gets the Infinity Gauntlet I can see that

[Godzilla2000]

I can actually see Marvel heading in that direction with Thanos.

I feel the same way but I'm not giving up hope, I want Odin to lay an OF powered smackdown atleast ONCE.

I hope so too, it would be so amazingly awesome.

[Godzilla2000]

I'd think Anthony Hopkins would love a badass moment for Odin in one of these Marvel movies. It'd be nice as a movie fan to see the old Asgardian warrior showing just why he's the most powerful being in the universe and the Allfather.

If not in Thor:TDW atleast at the beginning of Thor 3 in a fight against Surtur and his legions.

[Godzilla2000]

I'm thinking that TDW will be the set up for Ragnarok and the third movie will actually be Ragnarok. That sounds like the most logical progression of events of course.

[Vartha]

One can only hope, BUT there were I THINK three different false alarm Ragnarok's, one around the time Malekith was in first around

[Godzilla2000]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Marvel has cooking in the kitchen for Thor and his universe then. :^)
