Well they don't always improve. Look at Loki 2

Yeah thats a terrible figure
as soon as I see the Aether hit eBay

Never liked Natalie Portman either... Kat Dennings is more interesting in her smaller role.

I agree, she's great, slightly annoying but meh! not as much as Portman

It's weird, I had seen the new Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit movie a little while ago, and on set one day, I daydreamt that Kiera Knightley was Jane Foster instead of Natalie Portman, since the last look of Jane's I'm most familiar with is the short-hair version from Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Not sure if it work, but at least Kiera is a lot taller so she wouldn't have to run up a ramp just to kiss Thor, haha.

Yes I daydream about Kiera Knightley all the time . good choice for a replacement though and yes EMH version does remind me of her

yeah kill jane. hate it when they focus on the love angles.

I want Kat Dennings character dead more than any of them. She is useless, and the pop culture humor ruins the films. But I would also like them to make these movies more Lord of the Rings than anything, but I guess that will never happen. Especially after turning the Dark Elves into aliens. The Thor comics are some of my fav in Marvel, and I dislike his movies the most.

And I would be for killing Jane if it made Thor be with Sif, his freaking wife in the comics...

Sometimes I feel that I'm the only one who likes Kat & her humor and doesn't mind Jane at all. Sometimes I think I'm in a very small group who really enjoyed both Thor movies (wish they did more with Malekith though). Who else could've really put Jane & Darcy's role over the top so much better than Portman and Dennings? I don't think any other replacement would have been up for an Oscar

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

I didnt find the humor intrusive but It could have been darker, imo Jane should have died instead of Loki and set Thor on a dark path

Yep, I agree...and I didn't mind the humour either.

No I like her too, but not Jane she's quite dull

IDK. I'm not sure how much more ground breaking the performance could be for that character. But then again I really enjoyed the films because I wasn't a huge reader of the books, so I don't have any hang-ups or peeves like I do with X-men & Spidey. I was a Marvel guy growing up so I'm familiar and a fan of that whole universe but not being a die hard Thor fan allows me to like the movies for what they are

Well yeah it wasn't terrible(her performance), and the movies themselves were terrific I thought. Now I am familiar with Thor and I went in expecting a good movie and thats what I got, I don't bring my comic book baggage in to the movie theater with me. I think thats a bad idea

Sideshow says this got moved to July instead of June. Bummer.

ahhhhh! Good

That helps.

I just want to give us Beta Ray Bill in the next Thor movie, already. The Beta Ray Bill arc is my favorite Thor story, and BRB is my favorite Thor character right after Thor himself.

 

[dw316]

With the Frost Giants, and then the Chitauri and Thanos and the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy, we're getting introduced to "aliens" and other world species so there's always a chance, but it depends on how much focus it will take away from their story, whatever may it be.

 

[Mudblood]

ahhhhh! Good

That helps.

Not for me! I was ready to pay for it.

 

[PopCultKid]

I have Patriot and Zod coming and I just spent a good amount on various HT's and custom stuff. Next month sounds great.

Aagghhh who am I kidding? What frigin' difference does it make, my 1/6 bills are endless anyway

 

[guy66657]

I really remember hoping that Jane becoming an EMT rumors at the end of The Dark World was true. And she would bump into Stephen Strange. Not a fan of astrophysicist Jane. I actually always think about how different these films would be if that weren't the case

Oh I love BRB, he's great, one of my favourite episodes of Earth's Mightiest Heroes is his one
