Watching Thor now--we are fortified by iPads to entertain ourselves during the boring bits which is, admittedly, most of it. And I realize that all these movies are in the same continuity--as much as that word can be used--and I notice that people are baffled when this guy claiming to be Thor falls from the sky.

In a world where Captain America hit the headlines two generations ago, Tony Stark is flying drunk in power armor, and I don't know what all else, supers should ALWAYS be a working hypothesis!

Hey, Thor waxes.

I'm pretty much going to see the Avengers movie because Loki is in it. My roommate wrote an excellent review of the Thor movie and I look forward to her doing the same for the Avengers.

I've had the review sitting in Read Later for a while, and read it to Toby before we started. I'm choosing to believe that interpretation. XD

One of the things I liked most about the worldbuilding in Promethea is that when Promethea manifests herself, she's just another science heroine showing up, and there are protocols for dealing with this kind of thing. (Appears also in other Alan Moore works, but I don't know about Marvel/DC type mainstream comics; in those, everyone has amnesia all the time and everything is always a surprise, which is boring.) Of course the joke is that she isn't a science heroine; she's a poetry heroine.

I almost wish I'd seen Thor first, because I found Captain America so much better on so many levels that Thor suffered significantly in comparison. I pretty much wanted to watch Kat Dennings and maybe Clint and Coulson, who seemed to come from a far more interesting movie.
