    Ughhh. WTF did they do to the Thor movies? They turned it into a drawn out series of one-line jokes. I was hopeful this would be the best yet, but dangit if they didn't muck it up!

    It was okay, and I get the jokes were kinda cute and funny, but it was almost like every scene was made to setup the joke(s).

    I give it 3 out of 5 stars, for an okay movie.

    My hope now rests with Justice League.

    Tbf I'd have watched The Room again before I watched Thor 2.
    I was nervous when I saw the trailer, even though I laughed it felt kinda weird to have so many jokes in the trailer. Then I saw the movie, on the plus side I didn't walk out of this one. 2 out of 5
    I'm very hard to please. :smile:

    ...especially after the letdown of "Iron Fist", but I had to watch that to prep for "The Defenders". "The Punisher" will hopefully bridge the gap until premier of "Daredevil" season 3.

    Hey, I overheard this discussion at another table (not the cool people like us obviously) and they were talking about this app that tracks your walking in terms of walking to Mordor:

    why didn't they just fly the eagles to mordor?

    Because the Eagles didn't want to do it.

    Also:
    No one at the Council of Elrond suggested riding Eagles because (a) Eagles don’t take orders and (b) it would have drawn the attention of The Eye and insured disaster.

    Always an interesting question. The Eagles were under no obligation to do so, and they aren't beholden to Gandalf as if they were his personal army. It may just be they simply did not want to do so.

    Also they would of been spotted by Sauron's spies and attacked.

    According toThe Silmarillion, Eagles are Maiar (lesser gods or angels) incarnated as large birds. (This goes against the canonically established fact that Eagles have offspring, but whatever.)

    No matter what Eagles are, all sources agree they are servants of Manwë Súlimo, King of the Valar (greater gods or archangels), making them quite literally deus ex machina. The Eagles provide help when Manwë wishes them to do so, and only then.
