I think Marvel Studios is just really good at casting in general, I've been really impressed with every lead actor's performance. And since there are 8 leads this go-round that's saying something, haha

This, absolutely. The only lead of an MCU movie I only *liked* instead of LOVED was Ed Norton. Still doesn't mean I don't have a copy of The Incredible Hulk queued up in my blu-ray player right now.

RDJ and Evans are tied for me for top acting nods in their respective movies.

Oh good now really moving forward.


IMO I don't want any earth scenes for Thor 2.

Because I don't see why wasting space on this board is the right place to do it when you can make those requests privately to a mod. I never saw this place as a general thread before either, I've always seen it as specific. News and Specualtion; talk about Avengers or CBM's or whatever.

I reiterate. Me speaking up now has zero to do with standing up for anyone and everything to do with trying to stay on track and quit talking about people we don't like when it helps nothing. Even if they don't mean it that way, many of the comments come off as baiting and not actual complaints.

I just saw the last post in the old Critic's thread which is a clear mod warning so looks like it's been dealt with. Leaving it there.

 

[The Infernal]

You ever seen Crocodile Dundee? You know that part where Mick is on that rock swinging that thing around making a weird noise? I want to see Thor doing something like that.

Wait, hear me out! lol. I want to see him go up into the sky and whip up a massive storm, like an actual Hurricane, then absorb it into Mjolnir to use in an attack to literally one shot an opponent. All the force of a Hurricane concentrated into a single hammer blow. BOOM!

I think I see what you're suggesting, though I'm not sure on the idea. I'd have to see it in action to judge it really.

They're going to have to resolve Jane. Noone else on Earth matters though lol. The Asgard scenes were far superior and I believe the more epic stories can be told there.

 

[Chewy]

I think we'll see Jane in Asgard, sort of flipping the fish-out-of-water element

I agree with that statement.

How bout 10% Earth
90% other realms?

:P

Thank you. Leave crap where crap is laid. Don't pick it up and throw it here.

Sadly I guess they would have to resolve Jane. I still kinda like the idea of her being taken away to one of the 9 realms and Thor has to save her. Currently I don't think she has any huge relevance beyond a sappy love interest. I'd probably understand the connection to her a lot better if she were in some sort of peril.

A typical damsel in distress story? I don´t really see that with what they did to the character in the first place, being and independent woman, etc.

But I also hope that they resolve Jane and move on from that. Thor is the one MCU series that has a complete space-fantasy setting, I think they should go crazy with that

 

[The Infernal]

I think we've seen enough Damsels in distress. Surely there's something better they can do with the character?

 

[04nbod]

I want a Thor 2 that is true to Thor's character. I don't care where they set it although I would prefer a heavier focus on Earth than Thor 1. I don't think I'll get that though.

I've said all along, if Science is magic put the scientist against the Enchantress while Thor smacks Skurge around

 

[Chewy]

Indeed.

 

[SimiOfDoom]

What about Skurge´s last stand at Gjallerbru? That was a thing of beauty, but may be too early for Thor 2 if they haven´t even developed Skurge as a character...

 

[The Morningstar]

I think it'd be very cool and charming to see Thor introduce Jane to Odin and the family. Like a cosmic Meet the Parents.

 

[Iceman]

That could work.

I agree with that statement.

Done!

I’m not sure how best to do it. I don’t want it to end up like the Spidey films where the villain kidnaps the girl every time. It’s easier with Lois Lane–Clark Kent as they work together professionally so their interaction is natural outside of personal danger and their private relationship. Bit more difficult with Asgardians who are not using their Donald Blake personas! t:

This is more in regards to fleshing out their relationship better. I can't think of any other way to show their connection to each other than Thor having to risk life and limb for her. The star-crossed lovers thing just did not work at all for me in Thor and I want to see something happen there. And I didn't really see her whole "independent" side as you described. Honestly I just didn't understand her in general, she was just kinda there.

But I also hope that they resolve Jane and move on from that. Thor is the one MCU series that has a complete space-fantasy setting, I think they should go crazy with that

And that's really all I want to see in the end. Let him have a relationship with Sif if he has to have one.

 

[The Infernal]

What I'm hoping for Thor 2 for Jane is that she's part of a love triangle with Sif and Thor. I liked that they touched on Sif's feeling (albeit briefly), I'd like to see her be more open and actively challenge Jane for Thor's feelings. Also if Enchantress is a villain in the sequel it could make it even more interesting, maybe even force Jane and Sif to unite against her.

 

[TomPiltoff]

Are people still impressed with that? http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerWalk

 

[Suzanne78]

While I don't expect her to suddenly become a warrior (leave that up to Sif, please Mr. Taylor!) I'd love for Jane's smarts to play a decisive role in Thor 2's plot rather than be kidnapped, placed in jeopardy, etc. Or, if they have to have her in a perilous situation, have her McGyver her way out.

The MCU has done a great job so far not having the females be mere plot devices or love interests. I'd like to keep that going.

Hey MarvelFreshman :P lmao

 

[The Morningstar]

TomPiltoff do you ever contribute anything but negativity? Even though i agree with you here, give it a rest.

Anyway, perhaps Thor brings Jane to Asgard to help find a way to get to the other realms due to the BiFrost being destroyed? It'd be interesting to see Odin and the other Asgardians being impressed with this mere mortal's knowledge of their "magic" and how it works.

 

[TomPiltoff]

TomPiltoff do you ever contribute anything but negativity?

No I guess I don't. And? Is there a quota of how many times I need to say 'oh man wow that is AWESOME'?

As long as I'm not trolling and giving an honest opinion, deal.

 

[Suzanne78]

Besides, I would think Jane would impress Thor far more by not being a damsel in distress, someone he has to continually rescue.

Na, it just makes you look like a miserable, unimaginative ****.
