Re: The Avengers: The Motion Picture Discussion Thread
I think you would appreciate the Thor/Loki relationship more having seen Thor first. You will also be introduced to Dr. Selvig and even Hawkeye. I think it helps to know all of that going in so that you can appreciate where the story takes things.
But you could also see this first and go catch up on Thor to get the back story and history of the characters and see what brought Loki to this point. He is a far more sympathetic character when you see more of his story than just what is shown in the Avengers. If I were you, I would go see Avengers, then watch Thor, then watch Avengers again with a new respect for the characters. But I wouldn't put off watching Avengers. It's too much fun.
