11. Thor (2011)

After the heightened reality of the first two Iron Man movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe moved to another dimension entirely with Thor. A potentially risky premise instead turned out as a unique and enjoyable hybrid of superhero origin story, Shakespearean drama and fish-out-of-water comedy, featuring a talented ensemble cast led by relative newcomer Chris Hemsworth.

Kenneth Branagh seemed a strange choice to helm a $150m blockbuster, but his background in Shakespeare served the story well and lent a sense of gravitas to the Asgardian back-and-forths that could have produced some unintentional comedy. The amount of world-building required does involve a lot of exposition, but solid performances from the cast (especially Tom Hiddleston in his breakout role) ensure it never becomes too overwrought. Despite an over-reliance on canted camera angles and limiting the Earth-bound action to one small town in the desert, Thor provides a solid balance of humour, action, drama and fantasy and serves as an entertaining franchise-starter and a more than worthy addition to the MCU.

Thor wasn’t a particularly well-known character to general audiences before the release of the movie, so credit must go to the marketing team and the goodwill built up from the other MCU movies that saw the God of Thunder’s first solo outing open to $65.7m domestically. Worldwide, the movie grossed almost $450m as the cinematic build to The Avengers continued at pace.

Thanks for posting, Fran!

And yes, we love the recap so much, we're going to use a variation of the lines for our next OT thread.

I also like the gif set with Odin and Loki (the scene where Loki let go)

"Loki, it is midnight where are you going?"

"Out."

**miranstarr** · 04-02-2014, 03:21 PM

OMG, I love that one!!! And Norse and Pregnant. And the one about Loki's Crib.

**love on the brain** · 04-02-2014, 03:36 PM

Unforgettable stuff

Norse and Pregnant had me in tears

**miranstarr** · 04-02-2014, 03:49 PM

Those should go in our OP.

**love on the brain** · 04-02-2014, 04:03 PM

We should! Good thing they are easy to find

**miranstarr** · 04-02-2014, 04:19 PM

Yeah, they are.

**love on the brain** · 04-02-2014, 04:41 PM

The girl who made them tags her gifs and she doesn't make them often, so I can grab them later
