Yeah the original Thor. Damn good film imo as well.
Marvel Studios presents Kenneth Branagh's Thor: Dutch Angles, starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman...
It still throws me off every time someone mentions the 08 Hulk being part of the MCU. It just doesn't feel like it fits. Probably because of the recast, but I think there's other stuff that makes it feel off too.
Weird, I never would have guessed that he directed that.

Aggressively Mediocre? Really?

It's good not great. His other films are fucking shit though.
It's the recast and the different Hulk design.

Thor 1 is pretty great. Only let down was the fight scene at the end. Let's be honest that was weak. But the film itself is really good.
I remember leaving the theater shocked at how much I liked it.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Thor 1 is just awful.

it's not just that, I can't imagine Norton Banner to act like Ruffalo Banner at all and vice versa. they felt like totally different character.
I had no problem with James Rhodes recast, I can see them as still being the same character between Terrence Horwad and Don Cheadle.
At least the Hulk really shines in the avenger's movies. Need more of that Banner v Stark banter. They have their sights to keep MCU going up through 2028, I think it would be pretty conceivable for them to fit it in later down the road.
I get the Gotg2 oppertunity, but I feel tossing the Hulk in their would be a bit too scatterbrained.
I'm curious, in what way?
It was good. It could have been so much better without the stupid love interest angle and with more focus on the Asgardians, but they had to bring Thor to earth, so it kind of works. The movie is fun, it's just not what I hoped for.
It was adequate. "Aggressively mediocre" is a good phrase.
Now the sequel? That was awful.
Probably the fact that literally everything about it has been dropped. Even Downey's cameo -- the biggest connective element in the film -- was retconned later :lol
There was no love triangle in Thor 1, that shit was in TDW.
Fuck that. I don't care how right you will eventually turn out. Ape Planet Hulk as much as possible. GOTG come in to help Hulk liberate the planet and shit. He'll be the muscle.

Because it's still being distributed by Universal Pictures so Marvel doesn't get all the money from it, hence the distance they try to put between it and the rest of the MCU
Yeah. It was beautiful.

for one, Norton seems much more active even as Banner, he's also looks like more fit than Ruffalo, can hold on his own in an action scene for a bit, while Ruffalo looks more weaker, more helpless and vulnerable.
when military comes after Norton Banner, he ran away and after he got away, he risk coming back home for sample trying to cure himself. Ruffalo on the other hand, when Black Widow try to get him, he didn't try to run away, just try to talk things out and eventually go along.
I can kinda see the character development that go through that make Norton Banner become Ruffalo Banner off screen, but the contrast between them, plus the recast and different Hulk, just make it harder to see them as same character. also Norton Banner didn't seem like the kind of guy that can let go of Betty easily while Ruffalo Banner didn't even look like he remember Betty, like he really left everything behind him.
not saying I don't like both version, I like that Hulk movie, even when everyone don't seem to think much of the movie. the more fit action-y Banner is fresh for me at the time, not following the nerd scientist stereotype and the action scenes are great. Ruffalo seems more like I imagine Banner is though, more nerdy, weak, passive and disheveled.
And a better looking Thor, too. Always looks like they shaved his eyebrows off to me, they are so light in 1.

Fast easy way to show Thanos is not to be fucked with? This needs to happen when he faces Thor.
My least favorite MCU film, lol.
A bit OT, but who decides on the text that accompanies action in comics. Is it the artist?

The Thor movies hold the unfortunate honor of being the worst movies in each phase
I don't know. The second and third IM movies were pretty bad, and to me they are much worse than TDW.

I'm the guy who legitimately likes Iron Man 3, and while Iron Man 2 was bad, it wasn't as bad as Thor 1.
But hey, I haven't seen Thor 1 in years, so I'll try again and get back to you. I do remember Thor 2 being better though, despite its major flaws

Ha, you weren't kidding. I barely remembered what he looked like in the first movie. They really overdid the dye job.

Thor 2
CA1 holds that honor for me in Phase 1.
First half of Cap1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thor > 2nd half of Cap 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thor Dark World

Nah, there hasn't been a bad one yet. There were a couple that were just ok, but everything that's been put out is better than the stuff we used to get

you guys make me sad
you guys make me sadMind you, I didn't hate it. I just thought it was lackluster.
Well thats mainly because in T1 he used a wig/extensions and in A1 and T2 is his natural grown hair. His magnificent godly locks if you will

Captain America 1 and Iron Man 2 are far worse films than Thor 1. The first half of Cap 1 is solid but the second half is awful. And Iron Man 2 start to finish is just not good.
It was the most bland for sure.

The only legit bad film Marvel has made so far is Iron Man 2.
