I watched Thor recently and fucking hated it. They bastardized the Norse Mythology completely! and in such a way that had they adhered to it the storyline would have been a million times better but because they veered so far off the entire movie made no sense. Imagine Tyr's hand getting torn off by a monstrous wolf, a giant wielding a massive flaming sword and Leviathan leaping from out of the water. Ragnarok. Instead we got a shitty love story and affirmative action because they felt the need to die some knots together in preparation for their next big movie. Fuck Hollywood.

1 - Thor is a redhead with a massive beard not a Fabio lookalike.
2 - Heimdall, "the whitest of all the Gods" is apparently a black guy.
3 - Ancient Norway's got a ton of fucking Asian people.
4 - Loki, IMO my favorite character in any story/mythology in history, lacks character. He should be a jester who deceives, gets bitches, causes pure evil and all for the sake of evil itself. Instead it's some stupid 'father's approval' bullshit.

Now I get that Marvel twisted the Norse mythology around quite a bit, but they still had the same tales and the same characters.

QQ, I'm upset because I actually know a bit of Norse mythology 🙁

You're really using Marvel Thor to actual Norse mythology as a reason to hate it?
 
The movie already made $281 million in foreign markets probably half the budget already.

Should be a profitable movie once all is said and done.
 
I'm not interested.

I changed my mind. I going to see it, it has been a really long time since I last went the the theater, starting to have some withdrawal symptoms. Also, my GF and bro saw it in India.. and they say the movie was pretty awesome.
 
Unlike the rest of the world I didnt get all bent out of shape when they started making Transformers movies, so my expectations could not be destroyed.

Not sure what you're implying. I was never a fan of the Transformers toys or TV show. The movies were just terrible.
 
"..."

That's about all I can say, because no words can describe this movie!

Okay, all hamming aside, it was a good movie and a great start to what could be a good summer of movies. Although, I don't read the comics, so I wasn't sure
who the red dude after the flashy credits was?
