No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think the movie should have been named Thor: Shit Just Got Real in Asgard.

I was...entertained. It wasn't as straightforwardly fun as the first one, but I liked it. Glad I wasn't spoiled. Like Jesse, I figured Loki's death wasn't real, because the movie premiered 2 days ago and the internet hadn't blown up yet.

Thor is still the prettiest.

I am left wondering what happened to Odin. And Heimdall, though for different reasons -- because Heimdall said "I committed treason," to Odin before Loki came back with the fakeout. So did REAL Odin throw Heimdall in a comfy dungeon cell, before Loki came back and did...whatever he did to Odin in order to pull the fakeout on the throne?

Oh! TOTALLY glad I wasn't spoiled for the Chris Evans cameo. AWESOME.

In conclusion, not enough shirtless Hemsworth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

True fact, Steph.

Oh! You know who I felt bad for? Meow-meow, when it kept getting faked out by Thor falling through those holes in space. "OK, I'm coming!....wait, you're over there now? Coming!! WHAT? Where?"

I just got back from Thor 2. I liked it a lot better than Thor 1 (and I didn't hate Thor 1). I was very glad to not be spoiled and to be able to burble with Amyth and another friend after.

I think the fight scene that kept going in and out of various worlds was the best fight scene I've seen in ages .

Trust my rage

I delurked yesterday and can't stay away, I guess. Because I want to talk about I Thor and with you people! I also loved the multi world fight scene.

I loved this movie and I really did care for the first Thor that much. But I liked him in Avengers And I just love Loki. He is my favorite and I loved a the relationship between him and Thor in this movie. I could go on and on about my Loki love but it might be over the top.

I adore Loki. He's one of my favorite movie villains. (The fact that Hiddles plays him doesn't hurt.) But I also liked the scene in prison where it showed Thor is getting a bit wise to some of Loki's tricks. 'Cause I like my heroes to have a brain cell or two to spare, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does Loki improve in this movie, or did you already like him from his previous appearances? I mean, I'm going in pretty cold (and mystified)--is there a strong chance I'll be won over, or is it more a celebration for the people who were already invited?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I did not like him previously and I like him now.

Oh and my favorite part of Loki is that he apparently can get himself together and flat iron his hair when he needs to go to war .

I liked him fine already, and my favorite moment is still the one from the ad with the slap.

Okay, that's promising. I don't need him sympathetic, I need compelling.
