Thor 2 Dark World news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 9

[DarthSkywalker]

I live next to a one stop-light town that is bigger than that BFE "town" in Thor 1. I mean there doesn't even look to be houses in the town, and nothing for miles so why would anyone drive to it instead of an actual town? Its like a town out of a western, but smaller and lacking any reason for existence.

It has all the things you need for a good size town, without enough people for it to exist. It is strange as hell.

 

[itchyscratch]

Shame there was no Heimdall. I hope he gets a fair amount of screentime in this movie.

 

[SuperSAINT]

Good way to start my day.

Looks spectacular.

 

[mkilban2]

I didn't say I'm suddenly sure of it now because of this, I just believe it more than I originally did.

I gotcha, either way it's going to be a cool scene.. easily the one that jumped at me the most during the 1st time I watched it.

 

[Lady Marion]

Not to bring up a dead argument, but I believe even more now that this is an entrance rather then him teleporting around the battlefield.

You can even see the rainbow colors of the bifrost.

I wonder if they explain in a sentence how the bifrost is fixed so fast. A year ago somebody explained that it isn't easy.

 

[Octoberist]

Why not, other movies do that.

I see what you're saying but again, it's just a teaser. It's best to wait for the other trailers. Gotta be patient. I've seen this happening all the time.

Look at the 'Man of Steel'. Some people were like "Oh, Superman's boring...blah blah, or "Snyder is trying to pull a Nolan and Mallack" with the first teaser. Then with this latest trailer, those same people are saying "OMG, Man of Steel is like the best comic book movie evar. I'll make a zillion dollars, shee!"

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yeah, the first film's narrative was pigonholed on that 'small town' premise. That's fine, but like what you said, Thor 2 looks obnoxiously bigger than the first film, that it makes my head spin kinda.

It wasn't simply the premise. Just the look of the film. This looks light years ahead, far more refined.

Why not, other movies do that.

Like? And I am talking teasers here.

 

[Saitou Hajime]

DAMN, this trailer really shows how much the Wonder Woman fans missed out on Jaimie Alexander.

 

[Marvolo]

The bi-frost may still be broken. Doesn't Thor in the comics learn to teleport himself without the bi-frost? Or maybe they used the cube to fix the bi-frost. Or perhaps Loki showed Thor where one of his backdoors was.

Well, it is leaving the imprint, so I am pretty sure it is the bi-frost.

I think this trailer shows how a Wonder Woman could work. They just replaces the Norse setting with Greek.

It would be awesome if Thor learns to teleport and I hope we see that some day on screen. But I think it's the bifrost here, you see the rainbow colors wenn he arrives an the imprint on the floor when he takes Jane to Asgard.

 

[Ultra Nolanite]

Isn't that the Bi-frost at 00:53

Seems to be working fine. They probably fixed it.

I've always said, even while admitting that the first Thor film is my favorite to watch, it's the cheapest looking of the Phase One films. It's the film Marvel had to get through and not embarrass themselves.

For them, Thor was almost an Incredible Hulk situation; i.e., "just get through it to introduce Thor and Loki. If it doesn't make any money, at least we have Thor and Loki for the Avengers films, if needed."

They weren't banking on the fact that that cast that Branagh assembled literally carried that film just based on chemistry alone. That's why I've been most excited about the prospects of Thor, as a franchise.

Keep that cast and that amazing chemistry they have, change the aesthetics (Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones), give it a massive budget and a massive narrative and the potential of the Thor franchise is limitless.

The fantasy/swords and sandals genre is not looked down upon anymore, with what happened to Lord of the Rings. Add to that Gladiator and now Game of Thrones, hell even Hemsworth's Snow White and the Huntsman and you can get away with doing that with Thor.

And Alan Taylor and Marvel seem to have realized this with this sequel.

The Dark World is going to be lights out. I know everyone's excited for Iron Man 3 but when the dust settles, the Dark World is going to be the Phase Two film everyone keeps talking about.

Save this post. I will look like a prophet come next year when Winter Soldier hits and nobody's that excited because they haven't gotten over the awesomeness that is the Dark World.

Stop copying my material.

We won't know until it is over, but going in Thor is the one I would bank on being great. This does nothing to disprove that. It has the cast and the material to be something special.

I think Guardians is going to impact Phase 2 the most, probably followed by Thor and Cap and then Iron Man coming in last on impact but probably setting the overall seeds for Cap2 to explore more into.

I have this feeling that after the Dark World, Marvel's going to position Hemsworth as the face of the cinematic universe. This guy is killing it with the charisma, the vulnerably, the physicality. Everything.

Screw Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. I'd follow Thor into hell...

Guardians is going to have to work. I am excited, but I am in I'll believe it when I see it mode. Cap also has a dynamite cast, along with a potentially very emotional and gripping story. I'd say it is between Thor and Cap right now.

Hemsworth is more then I could ever had dreamed for. His Thor is my favorite MCU character. Well him, his brother or Cap. Evans' Steve Rogers is the man. Evans and Atwell pulled off an actual romance.

I like what Evans is doing with Rogers but I'm just not seeing how his franchise can ever match what Hemsworth's got in just sheer potential. Thor's narrative with his father, his narrative with brother, his narrative with Jane, his possible narrative with Sif...my goodness does Hemsworth have a lot to play with it.

I just don't see that for Evans and the Cap role. I do think he's really good but it's the material of the character that's going to hurt him. With Hemsworth, he's got an embarrassment of riches to play with it.

 

[J.Howlett]

By the way, between Game of Thrones, Oblivion, Prometheus, and now the Dark World, everything that is sci-fi or fantasy needs to be filmed in Iceland. EVERYTHING!

Well in my opinion, the most successful film at the box box-office is going to have the most impact and I don't think Guardians could top Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. It could be the best Phase 2 film but if it doesn't outgross Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, I don't think it will have a bigger impact than those 3.

 

[def28]

**** yeah! Movie looks awesome! Well done Marvel.

that's a silly way to look at it.. I would think film content is going to matter in the scale of the MCU's phases much more than ticket sales will. I don't mean that Guardians is going to have the most financial impact, I mean that it's content is going to probably matter the most of the 4 movies before Avengers 2.

He is the Cap. He'll be just fine.

Iron Man made the most impact in Phase 1 (excluding the Avengers) and his movies got the most money and because of that they definitely gave Iron Man more role than Captain America in the Avengers 2. Ticket sales will definitely play a role on who gets more screentime and role in Avengers 2.
