I'm tired of Loki. Hopefully there are more vicious and menacing opponents for Thor in this film and Loki isn't the focus yet again.

Having him tag along as an ally of sorts actually sounds like a cool way to get him into this movie. Can he really be trusted? Will he do heroic things or just end up being a coward out to save himself? Maybe Loki's motivation for having a successful outcome to whatever mission they set out on is different than Thor's but both desire the same outcome.

I agree, in a comicbook movie universe, it's neat seeing the same villains pop up more than once (that's practically NEVER done), but to have them as the only antagonist in the series seems like an obvious mistake. I don't think we need to worry about it.

When does this come out? Next year or the following year? As excited as I have become for IM3 due to the trailer, this is still my most anticipated Marvel movie from phase 2 :panic:

:exactly: Before Marvel Studios, they were all killed off at the end of each comic book movie. :lol

Magneto and Lex Luthor were recurring long before Loki.

True....I wish that just once, Luthor would be portrayed correctly on screen. None of the portrayals so far are really accurate, at least to me - I have admittedly not seen the television portrayals. I think in a lot pf people's minds, Luthor will forever manifest in their mind's-eye as Gene Hackman shouting for Miss Tasmacher.

Which is a total shame.

Exceptions, not the rule. Look at Spider-Man, Batman (both Burton's/Schumacher's and Nolan's), Blade, etc.

X-Men and Superman were still major, continuing film series. For the Batman series, Nolan's been more generous with his villains, letting Scarecrow and Joker live to see a possible sequel. Even Schumacher would kill off one and let the other live.

If you want to go by current examples, Marvel Studios continues to kill off its villains in the Iron Man series. It's always been half and half.
 
My original point wasn't whether or not villains were killed off. It was that all of the other comic book franchises often times avoided reoccuring villains. And the reason for that is apparent. This is not the same medium as a comic book. You get a movie every few years, not every month or so. Why focus on one villain when there's so many to portray on film? I get the idea of not wanting Loki to return as the focus. I agree with that. But the idea of him returning in any capacity makes this universe feel bigger than other movie series. I appreciated Nolan referring back to previous movies and having cameos from characters pop up again and again. I appreciated Joel Schumacher referencing Catwoman in BF to connect it to Burton's movies. I appreciated Willem Defoe in SM2 as Harry's reflection. All those things help make these movies feel more connected and not as isolated.

I did think of Scarecrow and Lex Luthor. I didn't think to consider Magneto. So with Loki, that's only four villains out of how many comic book franchise series?

Actually, I'll give you Iron Man because they've killed off more than half. Both Obadiah and Raza from IM1, and for IM2, Whiplash. As for Batman, yeah, Scarecrow lived, but Ras died and while Joker lived, Dent died, and everybody (except Scarecrow) in TDKR died. :lol

Nice references there. Heck, I even forgot a couple of those you mentioned. As for the older 90's Batman films, I prefer to keep it that way.

Magneto was an awesome villain! And I think that was mostly due to actor, Ian McKellen.
 
Long time lurker and avid poster on "another" forum that will be left nameless. Excited to share this news that hasn't been posted here yet...

Marvel launched a College Fan Screening contest on their production Facebook page today, similar to the one seen on the Avengers page.

Looks like they are getting their marketing rolling on the film. Looking forward to seeing what else they have in store for us in the coming months.
 
Thanks for posting those! :yess:

Especially....

Yeah ok, great pix but we wanna see Malekith. As well as Loki's sartorial adventures, and what will Jane be wearing?! Are they going to make her schlumph around in Earth clothes while everyone else has on the medieval/futuristic stuff, these are important issues which need addressing ASAP! :p
