This week, Kenneth Branagh makes you believe in gods (and Tom Hiddleston) inThor.
This week in Marvel Movie Club, here are a fewThorthoughts that crossed my mind this time around.
What happened to Kat Dennings, a.k.a.

Darcy the intern?!
Yet there she was in the first scene!
This is going on Facebook,she quips as she takes a photo of Thor gorging himself on pancakes.

Darcy:They [S.H.I.E.L.D.]
even took my iPod…
I just downloaded like 30 songs onto there.Jane:Could you kindly stop with your iPod?!
After whatever happens inThor: The Dark World(Ill find out a month!
Or did she get swept up by the S.H.I.E.L.D.
Does she still use her iPod?
Does she still carry taser around with her?
But by gosh, the film succeeds in making Thor likable thanks mostly to Hemsworths disarmingly charismatic performance.
You recognize all of his flaws, but watching him flounder once he arrives on Earth is rather endearing.
Odin exiles him for this, but it never weighs on his mind.
Alas, the film has other things on its mind (like S.H.I.E.L.D.
and flirty scenes with Jane).
Like Tony Stark, Thor is betrayed by someone close him in this case, Loki.
However, unlike inIron Man, Thor and Lokis final confrontation actually has real emotional weight.
Branaghs infatuation with his majestic surroundings is infectious.
To be fair, that makes a tremendous amount of sense given his background.
Its never over-the-top or overly dramatic, thus perfectly set for the tone of the movie.
Both of these moments are great examples of Marvels need to ground every single thing in reality.
remains a problem
Thorbecomes rather bland the moment S.H.I.E.L.D.
enters the picture; however, its hard not to be charmed by Clark Greggs Phil Coulson.
That move alone soured me toward every other scene in the movie that involved them.
