I've watched this video probably a dozen times over the years, mostly because I'm still trying to figure out the Lizard, and I noticed that at 3:45, Electro's helmet shoots off some sparks right at letterman. It would just be beautiful and fitting if, in a promo for the show, they managed to cause a major injury at somebody else's establishment.

Seriously though, what is going on with the Lizard? Is it some sort of chestburster situation?

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
The best part is always going to be the Goblin trying to recruit Paul Schafer.

Is Thor worth shelling out the few extra bucks to see in 3d or Imax? I saw Cap in 3D but was pretty disappointed that the movie didn't seem to utilize it.

Ehhhh, not really. I saw it last night and there wasn't really a huge amount of point to the 3D. If anything it actually made the subtitles hard to read.

I saw it in 2D and did not miss it. I mean at this point the answer is always going to be "no", unless we're talking about the one or two releases a year where they actually put in the effort to make 3D look great, like Gravity or The Hobbit.

It's worth seeing in IMAX probably. Not for the (pretty nonexistent) 3D though.

Yeah when I saw it in 3D there were points where the subtitles were very blurry and it just darkened and muddied up a lot of the Dark Elves stuff.

That sounds like a bad projectionist. I saw it in 3d and it was crisp and perfect.

Definitely. Could be they didn't switch the projection between a 2D and 3D show, as has happened many times before.

I've stopped watching 3D movies altogether in one theatre, because they simply can't be bothered to set it up.

I wouldn't be surprised, if I could get my money back in your case.

That said, the 3d in Thor 2 is not anything particularly special. Something weird I noticed was the trailer for Cap 2 before it was almost a pop-up book in terms of the depth between the actors and the sets. It was honestly kind of cool and funky looking.

Marvel just dropped a big story that they are launching several TV shows for the 'street' level heroes on Netflix starting in 2015. Right now that list includes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. It sounds like they will all get individual shows, but I get the feeling they want to tie them together.

Yeah, Marvel really has their poo poo together right now. Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 were excellent films, Cap 2 looks fantastic, and GotG sounds absolutely bonkers. Also, James Spader as Ultron.

Honestly, it's a good era to be a fan of Marvel Comics.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think this. Hell, I'm pretty sure they just flatly used a lot of stock Star Wars sound effects for some of that poo poo.

drat fine movie all around, though. I kind of like how the Marvel movies are following the Superhero Trilogy formula to the letter, so long as you apply it to their Phase structure instead of the individual films.

Yeah, it really eased my fears about GotG. If they went as far as the did with the sci-fi in Thor, I'm probably going to love what they do there.

I haven't seen any Kat Dennings hate yet, which is good because she was hilarious. Again.

Agreed. I don't know much about GotG but Thor 2 definitely felt like it could be part of a universe that would have that kind of team in it. And my hope is that if GotG does good with all the CGI that's going to take that they then decide to take a chance in Phase 3 with another Hulk movie.

Mostly I just really want another Hulk movie.

I'm half-expecting Stark to build Ultron's body from the salvaged Destroyer armour, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of link to Norse magics.

I love the whole scifi fantasy thing Thor 2 has, even more than in the first one. It's pretty much what I always wanted to see in a movie.

The mid-credits scene also apparently confirms that there is a plot regarding the Infinity Gauntlet that will be expanded in future movies. The Aether and Tesseract/Cosmic Cube are both named as 2 of 6 Infinity Stones (with them probably being Power and Space respectively) and The Collecter wants to own them all.
