  • Thor: The Dark World was an inevitability, off the moderate success of the first film in 2011 and The Avengers in 2012 it made sense to reteam Chris Harmsworth's God Of Thunder, Tom Hiddleston's Loki and a reluctant Natalie Portman as Jane Foster. This time it's Dark Elves! And multiple dimensions sort of! And a red swirling blood tornado! Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review.

    Genuine trivia : They had to recreate Stonehenge as Marvel couldn't get permission to film there. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. It consists of an outer ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet high and weighing around 25 tons. Whilst we still don't know WHY it was built we do know for certain that it was originally called "Blue Harvest".

    Want to know the real reason for Christopher Eccleston's tour of the States after Doctor Who?
    Series 1 of Who was a nightmare to film, particularly during the first filming block. This put heavy strain on the cast and crew, and Eccleston ultimately left on principle because he felt the Executives (Russell T Davies included) had not done enough to try and sort things out. However, he did agree with RTD to keep his departure a secret until after the finale had aired, and vowed to protect the show by not talking about its production issues.
    Unfortunately, his leaving was leaked early in Series 1's run. In a bid to beat the press, the BBC released a hastily-written statement announcing his departure, citing Eccleston's alleged fear of being typecast. Eccleston was NOT consulted on this statement, and feared he wouldn't be hired for other projects because of the presumption that he wouldn't stick around for more than one series. He attempted to sue the BBC for the false statement attributed to him, but this only resulted in him being blacklisted by the corporation, after being effectively blacklisted by everybody else due to said statement.
    So the series of US films and shows Eccleston hated being a part of was down to not being able to work in his own country, all because the BBC used him as a scapegoat for his own departure from Doctor Who. In the years since, Eccleston has come clean about it as the show isn't in any danger from him talking now, and what evidence there is seems to support his version of events.

    *This movie was by far the best when it came to Loki's character.*
    We see his father be an asshole, his insecurities, his bond with his mother, his ways of coping, the events that lead him to actually growing as a person, and the result of such growth in the very end. Say you want about this film, but (especially including the deleted scenes) it's the most psychologically adult of the Thor films. People don't praise it enough for basically single-handedly carrying all the character development that will then be somewhat stifled in Ragnarok. And being the absolute best Loki film.

    • @TheDelinear
      @TheDelinear 2 года назад +15

      Loki's character development in this is great, but it's a side plot. Meanwhile the main plot, the dark elves being awoken by the revealing of the long lost Aether, they decided the best way to have that happen was to have Jane Foster literally just wander into it in the most random and nonsensically contrived way possible. I wish the Loki stuff was attached to a better movie.

    • @jacob4920
      @jacob4920 2 года назад +11

      On the contrary, I think Loki's "good guy turn" in Ragnarok was made possible by the resolution of Dark World. Because it's kind of the moment that the two brothers first come to a genuine understanding/affection for each other, instead of hating each others' guts. Ragnarok sort of continues Loki's character evolution from "Villain" to "Mischievous Scamp." An evolution that unfortunately pays off with Loki's untimely death by the hands of Thanos, in Endgame.

      @@jacob4920 I agree that Loki becomes a fully "good guy" character in Ragnarok, and it's pretty decently done, but he does seem to regress at some points of the movie for no meaningful reason, and his growth isn't half as significant or taken half as seriously as it is in the Dark World. I do *love* the other parts of Ragnarok, but when it came to Loki's character the Dark World wins by a mile.

    Two things everybody misses about this movie: 1) when they complain about Malekith , they don't realize he's the villain, but not the antagonist. He is a threat, but not the challenge. *Odin* is the antagonist. It is Odin's willingness as king to do whatever is necessary to win, whether it's sacrificing soldiers or imprisoning Jane. His actions show Thor what being king requires, and Thor has to face that in himself as heir to the throne. 2) Thor's character does grow and change. Thor has a really interesting development arc in the movies. In the 1st movie, we see him working toward being king, but he lacks humility and compassion. He learns this on earth and grows because of it. By the end of the 2nd film, he's seen what he'd have to do to be a king, and he backs away. He would rather keep his honor and not rule. In Ragnarok, he learns that there is more than one way to sacrifice yourself to protect your people. He accepts the mantle of king even though he personally doesn't want it. Infinity War and Endgame show him that sometimes it's not enough and even when he takes revenge on Thanos, he finds himself without purpose.

    The thing about Malekith is that in the comics, he’s usually depicted as charismatic and witty who revels in what ever evil plan he’s putting Thor through, almost always smiling in every panel he’s in. But the problem with that is, he’s too close to Loki in both stature and demeanour. My guess is, this is why they changed his character to be the silent, intimidating type, as to not conflict with Loki. However, by doing that, they got rid of a core aspect that makes him entertaining. Malekith is one of Thors most interesting characters and the movie didn’t do him justice. His animated version in earths mightiest hero’s is a better rendition.

    The first Thor film was great, but one thing which never sits right with me about the sequel is the way its messaging on othering (via the Dark Elves and Malekith) feels so contrary to the themes of Thor 1. Remember this film came out on 2013 - it feels like TDW is telling us 'you're right to worry about the aliens, they DO all want to sneak through your borders and blow up your cities'. Compare this to the wayy more nuanced treatment of Frost Giants in Thor 1 and it's a big step backwards.

    The reason the films came out so fast is due to a lot of legal holdings, and the Disney acquisition. Marvel was literally making all the films at the same time, so a lot of issues were solved there in the moment or left open enough for a later film to correct. A prime example is Brie Larson technically filmed Endgame BEFORE Captain Marvel. The source is... "The Story of Marvel" Book, it was very very insightful on many potential "issues" and missing pieces.
