It only took one additional blow with Mjolnir to shatter the glass. If he'd leapt at the point where he'd already cracked it while Loki was monologue-ing, he could have broken out before the clamps released.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, exactly what I thought, Matt.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
He was in monologue-shock. No one can think clearly while being monologued at.
And then when he started tumbling, it took him a minute to get his bearings inside the free-falling hamster ball.
I can't decide which I like best, Thor or Tony or Bruce. Let's see, which one would be the worst boyfriend?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
FCM?
Wow, that needs a lot of thought. Tony and Thor both got dames. Bruce has issues.

C - Hulk (I'm too annoying to be with someone who can't get angry

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I haven't been watching trailers, really, but the ad/preview/whatever for Amazing Spiderman during Eureka looks really good. This is a pretty serious summer of the superhero, eh? Avengers, Batman Verbs, Amazing Spiderman, that's a lot of tentpoles.

F - Tony (he'd be good for a brief fling, but there's only so much smugness I can take)
C - Hulk (who wants to be around someone that's always simmering with repressed anger?)
M - Thor (you marry into royalty, get a kickass mother-in-law, and have you seen him shirtless?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is all pretty simple, because I'm running away with Captain America, to give him the 21st century crash course. I sense a man ripe for...indoctrination.
Also, I've seen him shirtless.
Unrelatedly, I had a bit of a hard time accepting Hemsworth as Thor, because it seemed entirely obvious that Johann should have the role (oddly, he agreed). But despite the most biased sort of false start, there's really not much to complain about. He did a great job.
Problem is, I need to go see the latest Resident Evil movie to catch up with what Johann's doing. I have been somewhat remiss, what with the whole 2012 thing, and all.

F Thor. I've seen him shirtless, too.
M Bruce and Tony, for a nice three-way relationship that will never lack for coffee, booze, or broadband. Seriously, I just want to snuggle down with both of them and have them talk science at me for ~40 years. Nekkid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
