I wonder if it could be a way that they tease his existence in this film? The assumption is that the hot-spot in Africa marked on the SHIELD map (seen behind Tony Stark at the end of IM2) represents Wakanda. They knew people would notice that. It seems likely they're planning something with T'Challa in the future.

I respect your opinion; but you've got to realize it's a minority opinion.

*facepalm*

*nods* It would be quite interesting if Odin left a guard with it, and they either find the guard was killed long ago, or else the Nazis themselves manage to kill the guard. (Although that's a little more problematic, I'm not sure what the power-levels of various Asgardians are supposed to be.) It would be a cool…

Considering that Thor has outgrossed both Incredible Hulk and Green Lantern combined, I'm not sure why you're lumping it in with those two. If you considered it a "lame origin story", okay, but your opinion doesn't seem to equal the general audience's opinion, judging by the business it did.

Deadpool is Marvel.

What I think they SHOULD do is "Wonder Woman". I think they should stop screwing around and get someone who truly understands and is passionate about the character, and I think they should build on the fact that the general audience will accept mythologically-themed superheroes, judging from Thor's success.

I am a big Aquaman fan, and I've love to see him done well in a live-action movie. But I fear that Marvel is going to get there first, with Namor (he's already "on the map", so to speak), and DC runs the risk of Aquaman looking like a copy — even though he's far more well-known to the general public. (But that is a…

Say that three times fast...

His father responded that if Rayner really believed the books were a work of genius, "then you may lose a thousand pounds."

Does it really count as an epic fail if all the guy did was worry privately to his father that the books were a gamble? Because that's basically about it. In fact, it seems clear that Rayner Unwin had a lot of faith in the books — looking back, it was wise of him to split LOTR into three volumes, and as the quote…

I really don't think any of the commenters below are confused on this point. It's just that people who enjoyed the various TV series — and that's a LOT of people — see the TV series as the continuation/exploration of the world of Stargate the movie. It's within their rights as viewers and fans to say that they feel…

As I understand it, there's a whole series of novels that continue the movie continuity, published both before and after the SG-1 series started. There's 5 of them, and I think they're all written by Bill McCay, if you want to look them up.

But that's what strikes me as off. Given the nature of Odin All-Father, and given the nature of what the Cosmic Cube can do, why would he ever just give up looking for it? It's not like your car keys. It's one of the most powerful artifacts in the entire universe. It's the kind of thing you search for for…

The only thing that bugs me about that idea is that, given the nature of the Cosmic Cube... why would some random Asgardian warrior have possession of it? It's not the kind of thing you can easily imagine Odin giving to a random grunt. Nor is it the kind of thing I can easily imagine Odin knowing was on the field in…

I haven't seen other commenters mention this yet, so: Kurt Russell didn't play Jack O'Neill. He played Jack O'Neil. The tv series itself joked about this a few times. It's a very small point, obviously, but I would imagine there isn't an SG-1 fan who doesn't know it.

I'm still wondering if we're going to get some sort of teaser for their existence as an Easter Egg in the main Avengers movie. It'd be interesting to know what Marvel's agreement is with Wright, and what Marvel is willing to do with the characters to set them up in the public consciousness even before Wright's movie…

After recently reading the "Thor and the Warriors Four" mini-series, starring Power Pack, I'm right there with you. They're fun.

I was actually surprised to go back and rewatch Iron Man last month, and find that Coulson was in it a lot, and doing action-y things (in the climax). I didn't remember that he did more than just show up in several scenes saying he wanted to debrief Tony, but he was actually pretty badass. His role in IM2 was…

Were there actually any Oa "sets"? Or was the entirety of the Oa stuff shot with the actors wearing mo-cap suits and standing in a big empty soundstage completely covered in greenscreen?
