I don't think she's gunna make it out of this movie

[warriorking]

Thus a better script this time around...Game of thrones shows the leading women in very strong and central roles, and with this same director we will see much better writing and performance from all...I think many are going to be amazed with the difference....We already have one major tramatic death in this film I don"t see jane being the other...I think we will see thor need her more than ever as the film evolves....

It's the classic sequel trope. The hero fails to keep the beloved in the end. It happened in Superman 2, Batman Returns, Empire Strikes Back, X-Men 2, the Dark Knight, Blade 2, etc.

Spider-Man 2 was the first movie to really break the mold.

That is because they did it in the first movie...

[Ash Talon]

Spider-Man 2 followed the trope of the hero quitting/wanting to quit in the 2nd film, so it wasn't really breaking ground. Also, SM2 once had Spider-Man only trying to stop the villain at the end because the villain kidnapped his girlfriend (again). He's not out to save the day, or help his scientist friend from being a villain. Nope, he rises to the occasion...to save his girlfriend. That film is a mess on a thematic level.

Anyone considered this might be Portman's last Marvel film? How many does she have left on her contract? If she's still sore about the Jenkins debacle she might not be coming back. Not saying they'll kill Jane off, but they could recast.

IGN Movies: One of the things the fans obviously picked up on in the trailer is the Lady Sif jealous face -- checking out Natalie Portman like, “Who’s this? That’s my man! Don’t be getting in the way of that.” So what can you tell us about Lady Sif in this one and what she’s feeling?
Jaimie Alexander:

Well, I think that everyone can tell from the trailer that Jane comes to Asgard, which could pose a threat. You know, we’re bringing someone from another realm into our realm who technically shouldn’t be able to survive there. So I think she’s really, more than seeing Jane as a threat to somebody that she loves in a love triangle way, it’s more that Jane could be a threat to her people. And Sif is very protective of her fellow Asgardians and the throne and that sort of thing, so she’s quite wary of Jane. But also, she really, really loves Thor -- as a comrade, as a warrior and as the future king of Asgard -- but also as a man. So I think it’s very hard for her to see that he still has feelings for this other person. But you really get to see how much she loves him because she does end up sacrificing a lot. It’s a great part this time around. It was a lot of fun, and you get to see a more vulnerable side of Sif. You also get to see more of Asgard, the daily life in Asgard and the Warriors [Three] and where they come from, things like that. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

I think the big sacrifice could simply be that Sif is the one who saves Jane. In doing so she'll be sacrificing the chance of any possible romance between herself and Thor, but she'll be doing it for Thor because she loves him. Aww.

No, it was groundbreaking on other levels.

1. 1st film to realise a great comicbook fight without resorting to kung-fu stunts. Those moves were all signature to Spider-Man's powers.

2. 1st film where the hero helps redeem the villain.

3. 1st sequel where he gets the girl. (Look above for previous examples)

4. 1st film where his secret identity is revealed so many times and he still keeps his secret.

BTW: what do you think the theme was about?

[dopemaster]

so...

Is that The Other in trailer?

Any good theories on the floating truck?

Is that Loki's jail cell place Thor is fighting in?

These are the questions I have about the trailer...

If you're referring to the guy in/strapped to the ship, I personally think it's Malekith. At a stretch, it might be Algrim being transformed into Kurse?

Any good theories on the floating truck?
Cherokeesam initially thought the kids were throwing magic (or TK) around. The rest of the world however () thought the truck floating was a result of physics being messed up by Malekith's arrival, and the kids were just awestruck and curious.

Is that Loki's jail cell place Thor is fighting in?
I think so. My question would be; are those Asgardian guards he's then fighting?

These are the questions I have about the trailer...

...

[dopemaster]

you got my wheels turning... can't wait to find out more.

[misjuevos]

maybe the boy is malekith. when thor takes jane through the portal to asgard, you can see the truck that was flipped earlier. seeing is how they are so close to the portal maybe it is some random creature or a henchmen from the another realm.

I think it's floating because of the Space Ship landing

Is that Loki's jail cell place Thor is fighting in?

Not sure, I think that was just a battle from the Dark elves allies

These are the questions I have about the trailer...

That's all I can think of

What about LOTR The Two Towers, Temple of Doom, Ghostbusters II, the second Alien film (okay, there is no love at all) and The Mummy Returns?

I'll be very sad if Lady Sif was the one who sacrificed in the end.

[BigThor]

I can't wait until IM3 is released in the US, because that's when the Thor: TDW hype will be in full swing.

[itchyscratch]

I saw Iron Man today. Was pleased to hear a couple of direct nods to Thor. Wondering now if Thor will mention any of his fellow Avengers in TDW?

Really?

That's SUPER awesome, can you specify any for me?

That sounds cool. It would make sense to include some small mentions of the other Avengers in the solo films, both because of that it was an important event and because there might not be the same kind of post/mid credits scenes to hype the second solo films.

It wasn't anything huge but

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Stark refers to Gods ( not demigods) and another character talking to Stark refers to 'the dude with the hammer' coming down and changing the scope of everything or a similar phrase.

Seeing Darcy get left on Earth was one of the best moments of the trailer for me. The saga has moved on, serious things are afoot and there is no need for a comic relief character. That was always Volstagg's role, anyway. Any humor should come from the interactions of the main characters from now on.

Nice, thanks for the info I'll be sure to pay close attention when I see IM3 next week.

Agreed on all counts

[Godzilla2000]

If Jane being in Asgard is risky of course Darcy would be in even more trouble. It only makes sense to leave her behind. She'd be as useful as a newbie dressed in low rank leather armor for a Dire Miralis fight to use a Monster Hunter analogy. Hmm...that gives me a good idea for a fun challenge with my friends.
