SPOILER: show Also, thought for sure Loki dying was going to lead to Thor battling Hela for his soul in the third movie. Still loved the twist at the end but I'm a huge Hela fan, and a small part of me wishes Loki would have stayed dead. I'm sure they could still put Hela in regardless though. They totally got me at the end too. I thought Odin was going to banish Thor to earth like he does so often in the comics, for Thors love of Mortals and Jane foster. I was like "what? That's it? He's just going to let Thor off that easy? That conflict between them is one of the major, long running plots of the book, and they're just going to drop it like-OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH SNAP ITS LOKI"

Hel. Her name is fucking Hel.


As for the movie itself I loved it. This was a real showcase of Helmsworth and Hiddleston and how they can interact with characters that have grown. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is fucking Hopkins phoning it in a lot. Towards the end he gets better but the scene between him and Thor near the begining? Could he have read that line any fucking faster?
