The Avengers Film Preparation Guide: What To Watch

For those of us who have yet to see The Avengers film (because it hasn't been released yet here in the USA or you didn't get an invite to a screening) I have created this film preparation guide (on the fly so bear with me) on what to watch for you fans.

Live Action Films:

If you don't have the money or don't care to see the films in 3D at your local theater, and if you have all of the films or know someone who does, you can do your own Avenger marathon at home or where ever you see fit to do so.

So here's the order:

Iron Man

The Incredible Hulk

Iron Man 2

Thor 

Captain America: First Avenger

Bonus:

You might also want to watch these two shorts:

 

Thor : A funny thing happened on the way to Thor´s Hammer HD found on the Captain America Blue-Ray

If you don't have Blue-Ray then here's where to find it online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1uD5_ovwqg

The Consultant:

Takes place after IRON MAN 2 and THOR, explains the epilogue scene of INCREDIBLE HULK.

Animated Cartoons & Films:

Iron Man

Hulk vs. Thor

Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers

Thor Film Review

Greetings my fellow Midgardians! Tis I Lady Tali Adina.  I have returned after watching the Mighty Thor on the big screen and I bring thee my review.

I was able to view the film for free because I am an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (www.joinshield.com) and I won tickets.

It was an excellent film with a great story, cinematography, acting, and action.

Lord Hemsworth played the god of thunder excellently and the Lady Portman did a great job as well as Jane Foster.  Lord Hiddleston who played Loki-who is one of my favorite villians-was great as well.  All of the supporting actors and actresses were excellent!

Twas interesting to see the big character difference and  transformation for Lord Stevenson who previously had played The Punisher and twas now in this film, protraying Volstagg one of the the Warriors Three.

Twas interesting debate about actor Lord Elba-a black man-protraying Heimdall, who is a Norse (white) god.  In my humble opinion, I didn’t see a problem with it. Tis a character who could have been any color.  Besides, who’s to say that there couldn’t be any black Norse gods? Black people can be as white as whiteout and as black as night. There are black folks who can pass for white and some do-but that is another story for another blog…Lord Elba was great.

I did not see the film in 3D and refused to do as such! Verily I say to thee, they had more movie times for 3D than for 2D which I thought was unfair. I hate 3D as I hate hell and if anyone tries to leave me with no choice but to see a film in 3D, I would say to them-Have at thee!

The Bi-frost bridge looked amazing and the realm eternal-Asgard was a beautiful sight to behold. There are some who wished to see more of this realm in the film, I thought it was a good amount and tis the first movie so I’m sure there will be more to be seen of Asgard in the future.

The story moved right along, twasn’t any boring points.  The explanations  for the existence of the nine realms and magic were great and easy to understand and made sense. The film had an equal amount of everything-action, romance, and comedy. Lady Dennings who protrayed Darc y was the main comedic relief-other characters had their moments as well.

When the film was over, many left and missed out on a special scene after the film credits. I warn thee now to stay thy hand and wait. You’ll view a scene that is vital to the future Avengers movie!

Overall it was a film for the gods! I have no complaints and I would see it again. Now if thou haven’t already, go forth and view Thor and tell me what thou thought of it.

For now I bid thee farewell.

For Odin, For Asgard!

Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers Episode 4 Review

At the ending of part 3, Loki meets his real mother. There are snickers in the crowd that has gathered in front of the palace and Loki himself is embarrassed of her. He puts her under house arrest-without her knowing-in the farthest room in the palace.

Walking in the halls of the palace he is beseiged by different people who need his attention with their many problems and questions.  As he is known to be the trickster, he becomes invisible to them and runs off to another part of the palace where he can be alone to his thoughts.  

He is ashamed of his mother and wonders outloud if Odin planned for him to be so. Drained from the recent events and revelations, Loki spends the night with a concubine-a gift from Karnilla.

The next morning arrives, and it is the day that Thor will die. Or is it? Hela returns giddy with glee at the thought of finally having Thor’s soul, but will she?

In the end, Loki has one more revelation and Thor must make a decision that might change the fates of Loki and himself.

Though this is the end of the series, something tells me there may be future episodes.  Stayed tuned.

Overall this was an excellent series. It’s a great way to learn about Asgard, Thor and Loki’s relationship and be introduced to some of the other characters.

May 6^this coming up and the Thor film will be out in theaters in North America. I’m excited to see it and I’ll be writing a review for it. Also this month is when the Marvel animated movie Thor: Tales of Asgard will be out. It will be out May 17^thso look forward to that.

I hope you enjoy these reviews. More to come soon!

Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers Episode 3 Review

Where we left off in episode (part)2, Loki requests for Karnilla to do him a favor in return for the freedom of Balder her lover.  Before going to Karnilla, Loki orders the Bifrost bridge destroyed and that the construction of the area where Thor is to be executed sped up. 

When Loki goes to to see Karnilla he sees the many Lokis and Thors that exist throughout the cosmos and he learns that all the Lokis have the same fate-what is this fate? You’ll have to watch the episode to find out.

Determined not to end up the same way the other Lokis do, Loki’s decision to execute his step-brother remains.  Leaving Karnilla, he goes to see Thor and we see a flashback of Thor and Loki fighting. It’s the same flashback that we see in the trailer for the series.  We still don’t know how Loki defeated Thor all we know is that it may have something to do with fire.

Leaving his brother, Loki bumps into his mother Frigga and has a quick conversation with her. He finds out that she was there to visit his father Odin who is also a prisoner.  Loki goes to speak with his father and we learn that Odin isn’t his real father. Odin slayed Loki’s father in combat and he adopted Loki as his son.  Loki reveals to Odin that he knows the real reason Odin adopted him and it basically has come back to bite him in the ass. He tells Odin that he will watch Thor die the next day.

Throughout these first three episodes, we see a mysterious giant figure roaming the relam searching for Loki.  Who is this person? It’s Loki’s real mother and that is where this episode ends. The plot thickens, on to the final episode…

Throughout these episodes we see that Loki is missing teeth and in this episode his face is drawn a little differently in different scenes. I wonder why he is missing teeth and why he appears to have wrinkles.
