The God of Thunder has an Australian accent

... well, that was a very silly movie.

I was dubious from the start, despite the excellent visuals, as brash, arrogant, overconfident characters are a definite turn off for me.

But then Jane and Darcy turned up. Especially Darcy. Hee.

I feel Loki was in need of a spanking and a time-out - no, not in the kinkmeme sense. Nasty piece of work.

Clint! Hi, Clint! (He and Thor will be bros, yes?)

Chris Hemsworth has grown up nicely (hi, Chris's chest) but I would have considerable trouble taking him seriously even if he weren't playing a out-of-place god. Same thing with Jesse Spencer and Ryan Kwanten. I will always associate them with soap operas and teenybopper magazine covers.

And Thor has an Aussie accent? Really?

Heh, I was watching the movie and thinking, "This is what all the fuss was about?!"

Thor turned out okay but it was all so predictable, I was rolling my eyes. I did like Jane's science focus but the romance didn't do much for me. Darcy and Coulson and Clint were excellent and yes, Sif and the Warriors Three were delightful! Imagine the mayhem if they turn up again ...

I do not get the Loki!love. As I said above, I felt some sympathy for him at first - he was feeling underappreciated and overshadowed by Thor and then he found out a Big Shocking Secret about his heritage. But there are ways to deal with such things that do not involve lying to, deceiving, manipulating, injuring and trying to kill those who love and trust him. Also, it seemed like he was just looking for an excuse to do it all anyway.

I do not get why anyone likes him.

I've bookmarked some excellent Darcy fic at AO3. Darcy/Clint seems to be a favoured pairing but I'm also enjoying Darcy & Steve as BFFs.
