Thor: The Dark World will have some Thrones-esque tonation reportedly, as Thrones executive producer Alan Taylor directed it. Lemme tell ya anything Thrones related, and I’m all for it.
SPOILERS:
SDCC’s Thor sizzle reel concluded with Loki severing Thor’s right hand. Which run’s obvious comparisons to the Kinglsayer himself, Ser Jaime Lannister.
I can’t say too much more about it. But I will tell you that’s not the worst thing that he has to worry about along the way, said Hemsworth.
Honestly if you aren’t a Thrones fan by now I’m just gonna throw this out there but, something is wrong with you. @kevfeige #themanhimself is said to be a rampant Thrones fan and I’m not gonna hold it against the guy. It’s a quality show.
Man of Steel might literally “set the tone” for a linear cinematic DC Universe, as Empire Magazine reports that Warner Bros. will want Zack Snyder to direct Justice League: given Man of Steel’s success at the box office.
Which quite frankly makes me question if WB executives even took the time to SEE the film they made with Snyder less than two years ago, entitled: you guessed it, Sucker Punch (23%). Trololol.
In related “superhero arms race” news, Thor: The Dark World released a pretty bossy one-sheet this week along with it’s first trailer:
Yup. You guessed it. The Avengers. And the four basic personality types. How did you know?!??
It looks like Loki’s army is going to be a bunch of Skeletor from He-Man looking things a.k.a this guy right here:
Which actually looks pretty cool I guess. I definitely wouldn’t fight that guy. Would you? He looks mean-spirited.
Where did you find these people Loki? They look like undesirables. And we all know what happens when you mingle with undesirables.
What perhaps we should be more concerned about is the guys that are on our squad. Like for instance the Not So Friendly Green Giant and the Armored Avenger.
I know. The Avengers. And the Four Basic Personality types. We get it guys. Well you see the funny thing about these four basic personality types is that they interact with one another in a complex fashion. One of such a rivalry of course is that between Asgardian Princes Thor Odinson and Loki Laufeyson. This bitter and delightful conflict between brothers may indeed be fictional, but serves however to highlight the important characteristics of the age-old conflict between Rational and Idealist. Let’s go right on ahead then and take a look at this epic clash of abstract minds.
Thor 2 has finally found a new director after firing Patty Jenkins (Monster) over ‘creative differences’. Director Alan Taylor, best known for his work on HBO’s Game of Thrones, will reportedly step in and take Jenkins’ place. Jenkins got canned in early December reportedly because of a “lack of clarity in her [creative] choices”. Marvel Studios of course has an infamous reputation for doing whatever they want after getting into rough financial negotiations with Mickey Rourke, Samuel L. Jackson, Terrence Howard, and Scarlett Johansson while having both Kenneth Branagh and Jon Favreau opt out of directing sequels. Jenkins would have been the first female to direct a major superhero tentpole film and Natalie Portman, who is a close friend of Jenkins’, is reportedly very upset at the way things panned out. It seems Marvel Studios even though they’ve only put out five independent films so far is already getting big-headed when it comes to managing talent. Welcome to Hollywood. Given Marvel’s fine display of hubris let’s take a look at the excessive arrogance of one of their most beloved characters Thor the God of Thunder and his mischievous half-brother Loki.
Thor’s villainous step-brother Loki aptly named after the Norse God of Mischief starts off as a resentful and jealous Asgardian Prince but evolves into a truly loathsome and malevolent evil genius. Growing up step-brother to the Mighty Thor indeed left Loki with a tragic sense of inferiority and not belonging. What he lacked in physical strength and bravery however, he eventually made up for in cunning and malice. Always strategizing and conceiving ingenious schemes and plots, The Asgardian God of Mischief is undoubtedly a Mastermind Rational. Diabolically ingenious, highly pragmatic, outstandingly intelligent, and a powerful sorcerer, Loki finds ‘difficulties highly stimulating’, as do other Masterminds, as he loves responding to a problem that requires a ‘creative solution’. Being the God of Mischief, Loki indeed seems to thoroughly enjoy creating problems for himself, and is well-equipped to solve them. Finding out that he was actually an adopted Frost Giant, Loki became wrought with feelings of abandonment. Indeed Loki’s malicious and malevolent behavior are quite reminiscent of David Keirsey‘s ‘distracting rituals’ that serve as defense mechanisms for hiding one’s shame. Loki’s arch-villainy and ascension into madness can be seen in Marvel’s upcoming The Avengers.
These Idealist-Rational relationships do not always remain harmonious, of course. Conflicts of NF emotional expressiveness against NT self-control, of NF intuition against NT logic, and of NF ethical or humanitarian concerns against NT technical pragmatics can prove challenging. — Please Understand Me II, p. 238
Thor 2 is set to hit theaters on November 15, 2013 with a script from Don Payne. Chris Hemsworth will return as the title star in The Avengers, which will arrive on May 4, 2012.

Living in the wake of The Avengers Official Trailer release and with NYCC (New York Comic-Con) this weekend, let’s take a look at primary antagonist and iconic supervillain Loki Laufeyson. Loki will indeed serve as a the main bad-guy in the film, with aspirations of ‘enslaving humanity‘. Rumors say, he’s not doing it alone.

Indeed Loki’s malicious and malevolent behavior are quite reminiscent of David Keirsey’s ‘distracting rituals’ that serve as defense mechanisms for hiding one’s shame. Young Shakespearean actor Tom Hiddleston talks in-depth about Loki’s tragic evolution from jealous ‘God of Mischief’ to loathing ‘God of Evil’.
This weekend actor Tom Hiddleston (who plays Loki) will be on hand among others at New York Comic-Con to present never-before-seen footage of the highly anticipated comic-book movie. My best bet says The Avengers won’t be the only time we see the God of Mischief on the big screen.
My, my, my… a world for the taking.
