anyway I saw thor and it was pretty bitchin' but I did not care for Natalie Portman at all
but then I don't know why Thor needs a love interest at all
I guess it was integral to this particular plot but they coulda done something else
Thor is one of the few heroes that doesn't have some chick he's all moon eyed over
aside from Sif, I guess

The ending
Thor screaming out for Loki as Odin banished him down to Earth went over well with me, especially with the new Journey into Mystery run and kid-Loki, with his stick-of-great-stabbing
Is it bad that I just imagine he's playing his character from The Hurt Locker?
Because it seems to work pretty much perfectly
And he sold me from the moment he said "you want me to slow him down, or you wanna send in more guys for him to beat up?
Also I continue to love Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson
It's like Coulson knows exactly what kind of story he's in and what's going to lead to the best outcome
Especially
when he clearly sees that the "Donald Blake" identity is bullshit but gets that sly little smile and lets him go anyway
My girlfriend was like "but why did they steal everything and then let him go? It seemed like SHIELD was the bad guy?" and I had to explain that Coulson knows what a weird world he lives in.
As for Renner
I loved the cameo. Somehow they managed to pull off Clint Barton's personality in 4 lines. The one that completely sold me was "You better hurry up, cause I'm starting to root for this guy."

I agree, Renner was great. So looking forward to Barton shenanigans.

Unless you're an ice salesman. Then deny it as much as you can.
It does not in any way indicate how he got to the present
I know what you're getting at and if you turn out to be right then great
But the photo does not give any indication of what actually goes down to bring him here
you are inscrutable
I would have put hard cash on TLB loving Fast Five and thinking Thor was for gay communists, or something

Loki let go of the spear on his own because he'd disappointed his dad again and he couldn't take it
They both tried to tell him not to let go
His lines during
Having seen Wolfman, it seems like Hopkins doesn't take these fantasy movies seriously and phones it in.
I thought it was rather a quiet performance for the head of a pantheon but for the most part I thought he did fine
I mean, he's thousands of years old and tired as hell
Well, ok
But Loki still let go of that spear on his own
Pretty sure the guy was reading the front of the porno version's box cover.
I get that he is tired but seriously he sounded like he was going to fall asleep mid-way through half of his lines
and like I said, he did the exact same thing in Wolfman and partially in Beowulf
dude is just cashin that paycheck
if you got bored with Fast Five then you're boring
so I guess I just find his "old guy" character incredibly awful
You are a vain, greedy, cruel boy
RAAAAAAAAGH
or whatever he said when Loki tried to intervene
just a primal snarl
God, I wanna see this again
At this point I'm pretty convinced that 3D, in most cases, is just a way of charging more and preventing piracy
The dude can turn on the charm
I am pretty sure the film reels for Avengers are just going to burst into flame the first scene Hemsworth, Downey, Evans and Renner have together.

I consider myself to typically be pretty immune to silly movie star charm, but honestly.

As for Renner
Coulson
It isn't a big thing but it adds a bit of character and helps differentiate him from everyone else, looks-wise.
That said, Idris Elba owned every scene he was in, so that was cool.
