Throwback Thorsday Most Memorable Scene: The Revengers vs Hela's Army (Thor: Ragnarok)

I love Thor: Ragnarok it was such an unexpected cinematic adventure from the beginning to the end. And I also love this scene with Heimdall, Korg and The Revengers (Thor, Loki, Valkyrie and Hulk) fighting Hela's army to stop Hela and rescue the Asgardians.

In the first Thor movie, Thor was so arrogant and thought he was all powerful compared with how he doubted himself and his powers in the third movie trying to stop his sister Hela. But once he realized his strength, he was able to draw upon his full powers which was visually stunning. I would have loved to have seen another movie with The Revengers they were an interesting team.

Throwback Thursday: Thor, Loki, Sif and The Warriors Three vs The Frost Giants

Happy Thursday!

I can't remember the last time I watched Thor, it's one of my favorite movie. And Sir Kenneth Charles Branagh really brought all the Shakespearean drama to this movie that's for sure.

As for this scene, I love this fight against the Frost Giants. Thor's arrogance and pride made it impossible for him to see that he (along with his brother and friends) went to Jodenheim for all the wrong reasons. It didn't help that Loki manipulated all of this to show that Thor wasn't ready to be King. Which at this point, he truly wasn't because he couldn't let the "Little Princess" insult go and walk away. No, he had to fight which was his real intention for going to Jodenheim in the first place. It didn't matter that his friends were ill prepared for a fight against the Frost Giants, he was going to fight no matter what. With the end result of him being banished to Earth or Midgard with no powers or memory but he did need to learn a lesson.

Hey my fellow Thor fans, here's the new Thor: Love and Thunder official poster. This is absolutely amazing! For anyone who doesn't know, the movie is in theatres next Friday, July 8th.

Trailer: Thor: Love and Thunder

The more I see of Thor: Love and Thunder the less excited I am about seeing it. I don't know, it just doesn't seem that interesting to me. I know I'll never get Shakespearean, intellectual Thor again but I was hoping that the MCU wouldn't keep dumbing down Thor.

I don't know, maybe Thor: Love and Thunder will surprise me and it'll be a good movie but so far the trailers (teaser and official) have done nothing to pique my interest. The movie will be in theatres Friday, July 8th.

Teaser Trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder

I have mixed feelings about Thor: Love and Thunder. The trailer looks good but I feel like with each movie Thor has appeared in, he has lost an aspect that once made him who he was. And now it really seems like the once Mighty Thor is nothing more than a galactic buffoon. I also have mixed feelings about Jane becoming Thor, I've had the same feelings every since it happened in the comics. And that's because it seems like that's only way writers can think of to make characters who don't have powers seem "interesting" when they already are is by giving them powers.

I'm a Thor fan, so I'll probably go see this movie which is released in theatres July 8th. But I guess I miss Thor how he used to be instead of mainly being comedic relief.

Do you think Thor will appear on the Loki TV Series?

I can't wait to watch the Loki TV series whenever it premieres on Disney+ but I was wondering if you think Thor will appear on a episode (or two)? On the show, I know it won't be the Loki that was slowly on his way to redemption but the one at the height of his rage. Which means that if Thor does appear on the show there probably won't be any brotherly bonding happening between them.

I figure Thor has lost so much that if there is a chance for them to have a reunion and to rebuild their relationship, I think having Thor appear on a episode would be the start to making that happen. Of course it wouldn't happen immediately since this Loki is still angry and vindictive but I hope at some point it does. If not on this TV series then perhaps in the upcoming fourth Thor movie, Thor: Love and Thunder.

Toy Corner: Thor Action Figure

Who doesn't love a cool action figure? There are just some collectibles that you see and immediately want. For me that's this Infinity War Thor action figure, I totally want it. It's just so cool. I've said many times before how much I love a lot of details and this looks amazing. Just look at that suit, it's a perfect replica of the one in the movie.

This is not in my budget right now but I so want it. Maybe I'll get the chance to get one later because this is just too awesome not to have.

Non-Canon Couples Week: Day #3: Sif and Thor (MCU)

Something that always annoyed me about the first two Thor movies was Thor and Dr. Jane Foster's lackluster romance. They had absolutely no chemistry and should have been nothing more than friends. Their supposed romance was boring and completely fizzled on screen.

I don't understand why someone (i.e. the writers, directors, etc.) didn't see the lack of chemistry between Jane and Thor in the first movie and not correct it by making Sif the new love interest in Thor: The Dark World. Despite Sif and Thor's limited scenes in both movies, they had amazing chemistry that should have carried over into a romance. I found Sif to be playful, confident, loyal and unbelievably fierce. Meanwhile, Thor was easygoing, caring, level-headed, a little over-confident and extremely powerful. 

It really was a missed opportunity not to have had Thor and Sif together especially since they had such incredible chemistry and played off each other rather well. Their relationship should have evolved from friends to lovers especially since the blueprint was already there. Too bad it never happened and who knows if Sif and Thor will ever see each other again in the MCU.

Book Club Picks for June: My Awesome/Awful Popularity Plan and Thor: Season One

It is officially the start of a new month and that means new book club picks.

I really can't believe the last time we read a young adult book for the book club was The Carrie Diaries back in June 2017. Yeah, it's been a whole year which is why I thought we could read My Awesome/Awful Popularity Plan by Seth Rudetsky for The Book Girl's Book Club. The funny thing is I read the second book The Rise and Fall of a Theater Geek first and I absolutely loved it. So I figured this would make good read as well.

As for the Comic Book Club, I thought we could read Thor: Season One by Matthew Sturges and Pepe Larraz. Marvel Comics released these Season One books as way to re-introduce many of the popular characters origin stories to new (and old) readers.



The Book Girl's Book Club Pick:

Book: My Awesome/Awful Popularity Plan (Justin Goldblatt book #1) by Seth Rudetsky

Description:

Justin has two goals for sophomore year: to date Chuck, the hottest boy in school, and to become the king of Cool U, the table in the cafeteria where the "in" crowd sits.

Unfortunately, he has the wrong look (short, plump, Brillo-pad curls), he has the wrong interests (Broadway, chorus, violin), and he has the wrong friends (Spencer, into Eastern religions, and Mary Ann, who doesn't shave her armpits). And Chuck? Well, he's not gay; he's dating Becky, a girl in chorus with whom Justin is friendly.

But Justin is determined.

In detention one day (because he saw Chuck get it first), Justin comes up with a perfect plan: to allow Becky to continue dating Chuck, whom Becky's dad hates. They will pretend that Becky is dating Justin, whom Becky's dad loves. And when Becky and Justin go out on a fake date, Chuck will meet up with them for a real date with Becky. Chuck's bound to find Justin irresistible, right? What could go wrong?

Why wasn't there a scene like this in Thor: Ragnarok? Thor and Loki were finally sorting through their family issues and a hug would have shown just how much growth and progress these two brothers have gone through. And not to mention it would have been a really heart-warming moment for them.
