Minor spoiler warning.
Last evening I took a dip into the "second-rate" world of comics. And yes, I found that even in movies adapted from comics, nuggets can be found.
Elements I liked:
1. Thor––his super-cuteness.
2. That the movie actually had some redeeming value (I've heard debated that Iron Man has redeeming value because Pepper totally shuts Tony down in the end, but that doesn't count because she turns around and gives in at the end of the second movie. Ahem).
3. Loki. Loki, Loki, Loki!
I loved Loki! What an amazing bad-guy! He is a brilliantly devised character that actually has some real depth, despite the time-limited lack of attention he receives. Unlike Thor's three-day "transformation", Loki's actions are something we can understand. We can see where he came from, why he feels the way he does, and where that leads him.
Let's break him down into the elements of the movie.
