Stan Lee cameo as some old guy in jail who wants his shoe back.

I feel like the writers of this movie didn't watch the first Thor. I feel like Odin has been misrepresented this entire movie so far. At least Loki is sad now.

God, Heimdall is SUCH a bro. Best part of this escape sequence by far. The bickering between Loki and Thor is pretty good too.

Loki is the clear opposite of a bro. Unless this is some sort of trick, he'll struggle to be redeemable after this.

Oh it is a trick. I'll admit, I didn't figure it out until after Loki was pacing after saying he wanted to watch Asgard burn. He wanted recognition and admiration, not death and destruction.

And Loki gets taken out the same way he took out Coulson. Fitting?

Not a big fan of the Deus Ex that let's Thor and Natalie go back to London.

OH NO IT'S ANOTHER TRICK DAMMIT LOKI YOU ASS

Did Loki kill the Asgardian looking for him and take his place? That's rude.

Aliens in New York? How can we one-up that?
Greenwich: Hold my beer.

This aether power is kinda lame. It's just... darkness. It's not particularly cool or seemingly powerful or anything.

This whole climax sequence is eh. The teleporting around is kinda cool, but all the places they go are just Thor locations. Would've loved a good cameo of some other location. They brought in Cap, they should've brought in Stark Tower or something, idk. Darcy continues to be bad, although Selvig isn't too horrible, now that they've gotten past his whole nudist phase.

Defeating Drizzt was ok... smart point from Thor. "Can't destroy aether... can destroy you". Though the method for controlling tp anomalies is kinda silly as well.

Not a big fan of the Deus Ex that just saves Natalie and Thor's lives.

In the end, Thor chooses banishment and herohood ahead of his birthright. I suppose that is fitting for having him establish his part as a true hero in the MCU.

AND LOKI AUGH IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG YOU SLY BOY YOU

Does this mean Loki killed Odin? Better not have.

Theeeeere's the Marvel Cosmos tie-in, with the Collector. Ohhhhhh the aether was an infinity stone. Is this the first time they said the Tesseract was, or did that happen in Avengers? Wait... IS THE COLLECTOR WORKING FOR THE PURPLE MAN IN THE FLOATING CHAIR?

Post-post credits scene was meh. Thor is back on Earth. Yay I guess. Get rid of Natalie Portman already. And the Jotunheim creature running amok still is dumb, the Agents of SHIELD should have captured it already.

Thor will return.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the end... it wasn't bad. There was enough coherence to make it not Iron Man 2 levels of meh. But overall... it wasn't strong. A lot of things were done poorly. The setpieces were mainly dull. The characters were... varied in their worth. Darcy especially was awful. Most stuff on Earth was. The villains weren't very compelling. Too much deus ex machina. Didn't explain some things (where is Odin?).

Pacing was alright though. Plot was... ok. Seems like it was very much used as a reason to unearth another Infinity Stone. By my knowledge, that leaves Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange for two more. There are six stones? I guess I'll wait and see.

Thor was solid himself, and the combat and action sequences were pretty exciting. Hate that Sif has to take a backseat to Natalie Portman. Music was good, though not amazing.

HOT DAMN LOKI THOUGH

Ugh every time he's in a movie I get why everyone goes gaga for Tom Hiddleston. Fuck man. What a great character.

Placing this one is a little hard, but I guess they all will be soon.
