I'm going to be a naysayer and say I thought Thor 2 was really, really stupid. I thought the characters all wanted macguffin things for plot reasons, and I really didn't care about any of it. Also 9/11 imagery and fake language. Yawn.

Also, also, it has one of my most hated tropes: your penis has saved my vagina life, so my vagina is open to you now.

I did like the funny bits, and I thought Hiddleston and Elba were the best part of the movie.

Most of the comedy bits had me rolling my eyes, but that may have to do with my tolerance for Darcy/Kat Dennings falling from slight in the first film to nonexistent in this one. Was I the only one hoping "Mew-mew's" flight path would take it through her at some point ?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I just shrieked. Oh, please, she's my favorite villain ever, please don't screw this up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is she from Snow White?

How did I not know this was in the works?
I've been hearing about this movie for so long that I thought maybe it had already come out and I'd missed it.
Is she from Snow White?
Sleeping Beauty.

I am warily hopeful about it. The few images I've seen LOOK gorgeous. I'm just hoping they don't give her a tragic backstory to make her "more relatable". She's an evil fairy sorceress, keep her that way! It doesn't lessen her appeal!

Wrod. Let evil be evil. Sometimes you just need to crush your enemies beneath your feet.
