Re: N!S

[cassandraoftroy]

Having watched the movie, I felt the narrative suffered a lot from being two separate major plotlines for two different slammed together into the same two hours -- and Loki's plotline significantly outshone Thor's, imo (whether because of the actor's scene-stealing abilities, the flashier atmosphere of Asgard, or just the character being more interesting is a matter of opinion). I suppose other people may have different positions, but that was certainly my take the first time I watched it, coming in as someone who'd never heard of Tom Hiddleston and had no feelings about him.

Re: N!S

I agree with the "two plotlines thing," though I actually found Loki uninteresting and very "meh" as a villain. (I'd never heard of Hiddleston before either) ... I actually didn't mind Thor himself, but didn't buy his romance with Jane ... But I digress.

It's so interesting how, even though obviously we all saw the same movie, afterward it sometimes doesn't seem as though we did.

Re: N!S

[cassandraoftroy]

It's very true about it seeming like we all watched different movies; I guess people pick up on certain elements that resonate with them, and it sort of spins out from there.

I'm probably going to get called a "Loki stan" by some bored anons for this, but in the first movie, I actually had a hard time seeing Loki as a villain at all, honestly. I found it really interesting how he started out at the beginning of the movie doing things that he thought seemed reasonable enough, and the consequences of each step pushed him a little farther until he was completely out of his depth and felt emotionally backed into a corner, and the next thing you know he's trying to destroy a planet.

That's probably why I found his story arc more interesting than Thor's, honestly -- Thor's character development felt really rushed and glossed-over (probably due in part to having to share a movie with Loki's storyline), while I could see and clearly recognize each step in Loki's narrative arc. By the end of the movie, I felt like I understood Loki better than I understood Thor (which is probably not ideal if Loki was supposed to have been the villain and Thor was supposed to be the hero).

But I should probably stop babbling about this since you mentioned you didn't find Loki interesting to begin with. Oops.

Nah, no worries. I followed along, and I think I understand how you can feel as you do.

Yeah, he just didn't click for me, either as a Big Bad or as a Sexy Misunderstood Anti-hero. Don't know why.

I ought to make a secret admitting that when people at my house watch that movie, I only pay attention to the scenes with Heimdall. Because I found him rather awesome.

Re: N!S

[cassandraoftroy]

I really liked Heimdall in the second movie, where we got to see a bit more of him as a person. I had kind of a hard time connecting with him in the first one, so I like that he got a bit more development (as much as any of the minor characters did, at least) in TDW.

Really, I think they need to make a Thor movie that just takes place on Asgard, so they can flesh out characters like Sif/W3, Heimdall, etc. as entire people more. (The scenes on Asgard have always been more interesting than the Earth scenes in the Thor movies anyway, imo.)

Seconded, absolutely.
