    Thor: The Dark World, in theaters Nov. 8, 2013

    From Wiki

    Malekith struck an alliance with Loki on behalf of the fire demon Surtur. He took control of a number of Earth humans using special food of the faerie provided by Hela. Malekith then killed Eric Willis, guardian of the Casket of Ancient Winters, after learning its location. As Master of the Hounds, Malekith hunted down Roger Willis, Eric's son and new guardian of the Casket. Malekith battled Thor, and kidnapped Lorelei. Using Lorelei as bait, Malekith forced Thor to battle Algrim the Strong, one of his Dark Elf followers, then attempted to destroy both combatants by plunging them into a pool of magma.

    He then captured the Casket of Ancient Winters from Roger Willis. Malekith was ultimately defeated by Thor, but not before he destroyed the Casket of Ancient Winters, releasing magical frigid force all over the Earth. Malekith was then brought as a captive by Thor to Asgard.

    Malekith later disguised Loki as himself to take his place in the dungeon, while he disguised himself as Balder, who was about to be crowned ruler of Asgard. Kurse, the being formerly known as Algrim, saw through Malekith's disguise when he reached Asgard City. Kurse then broke Malekith's neck, apparently slaying him.

    Years later, Malekith was revealed to be alive once again. Disguising himself as Balder again, he enlisted Hercules to attack Alflyse, the Dark Elf Queen of the Eastern Spires, while disguised as Thor. His scheme unravels (partially due to the appearance of Thor disguised as Hercules), and he is easily defeated by Zeus.

    Joker was pyschological revenge.

    Two-Face was gambled revenge.

    Don't get me started on the Amazing Spiderman as that too all comes down to revenge, like any other heroes and villains cause...

    - Crappy infancy in the dark inside a pit of despair wins over parents getting killed but being rich.

    - Being afraid of dying and not save city wins over having scarred face but being saved from the pit by the actual kid that got away.

    Either I'm reading this wrong, or you got your wording mixed up, as this is making no sense... :blink:

    You haven't played to many games recently. Splatter has become normal if any thing it probably the right amount when compared to games such as Gears of war, and No more heroes.

    His speed is fine.

    Yip, You're right. I haven't been playing many games. Last ones were Mass Effect.

    Speed is fine in the super natural type of games, and for this type of game play. Though not for the original MGS.

    Anyone got nice Hi-res pictures of the original ED-209 by Hot Toys?

    I'm not sure how long my willpower will hold out against ED 209. Been one of my holy grails since childhood.

    Initially I thought it was going to be 1/4 scale. As the preview of Hot Toys was in 3D, and miss lead the fans on the page that it looked larger than 1/6. So I was meh, too big, too expensive.

    Though now I'm with you on this one in 1/6... :(

    I'm still hoping for a DX Bane. After watching the film 3 times, I'm totally in love with his character and Catwoman.

    Questions and Answer about the general missed out details of The Dark Knight Rises.

    Fine that Bruce was hurt from the events of TDK, both emotional and physically, but why was he hiding for 8 years?

    No he wasn't. Batman yes has been missing for 8 years, not Bruce. During the conversation between Tate and Fox, its revealed Bruce disappeared completely out of the spotlight for roughly the last 2 to 3 years, at the time when realizing the fusion energy project had the potential of being a nuclear bomb, something that cost all his wealth, and that of Tate's financial backing. It's indirectly indicated that he made its designer, Pavel disappear, but Bane founded him.

    How did Blake connect Bruce to Batman?

    Gut feeling, chance, related to his own experiences of wanting to vindicate the death of his own father, killed by the mob, and how he wanted to do it.

    How did Bruce re-appear back in Gotham if the bridges were the only way in and out?

    No, not true. There were tunnels also blocked with stacks of cars, and sealed from the explosions that imprisoned the police. Bruce though reveals to Selina that the South end tunnel is still accessible, however needs her with the Batpod to blast it open for the civilians at the end of the city to escape, of which Blake sends the orphans to pass the message. This tunnel is seen early on guarded by Bane's men. When Selina appears there it isn't guarded as Bane's men gathered against the police. Clearly indicating Bruce made his way through there, perhaps with crawling and climbing skills through the pile. Or more logically, maybe in the sewers or electrical passageways beneath the tunnels. Up to the imagination perhaps, but really didn't need 10 minutes to confirm the obvious.

    It took Bruce 3 months to fix his broken back?

    Firstly it's didn't take three months. Early on Fox says for the Fusion reactor to convert into a nuclear bomb, will take 5 months. Before Bruce's second climbing attempt, it was mentioned only three month had passed to that point.

    Secondly Bruce's back wasn't broken. It had a vertebrate sticking out, miss aligned, obviously not a lot for permanent damage, but enough to cripple him in pain. Ask a doctor and he'll tell you depending on the severity, it can take barely a month to be fully up and going after the vertebrate is knocked in. Even if it was three months, it was more than enough time.

    So stupid that Gotham sent all the cops down to the tunnels.

    No the GCP did not do that. Firstly many managed to escape the tunnels before the explosion as seen when Blake's warning reached them.

    Secondly when the special forces meet up with Gordon, he tells them he has about a 1000 cops with him, another 3000 trapped in the tunnels.

    Why did Batman let Talia hold the knife in him?

    He was stalling her to give Gordon enough time to disable the bomb.

    How did Batman survive the nuclear explosion?

    Either by the more indicated route, which was by setting up autopilot, and jumping into the ocean which would have protected him from the radiation blast. Or ejected from the The Bat still over land, and letting The Bat crash into the ocean which would have contained the 6 mile radius explosion.

    Why was Bruce Wayne mopping for the entire two and half hours?

    After watching the film 3 times, I can safely say this is a total lie, or an invention from poisonous pop-corn. At around minute twelve he's already tracking Selina. Thirty minutes in and he's already gearing up to fight Bane. Right in the prison he continuously shows he wants to escape to save Gotham. There is no mopping for two and half hours, actually no mopping at a

    Obvious. Right. Whatever helps you sleep at night. <_<

    Thanks, you're too kind. :rolleyes:

    For what it's worth, I'm not arguing that the Avengers is a better movie. What an individual likes, what he or she regards as "better" or "worse", is highly subjective. I just find your idea that the Avengers is emo to be a stretch of the imagination.

    Well your previous comparisons did come across like that?

    Anyway, after Avengers came out I had my Twilight fanatic students waving Avenger flags. That's all I'm gonna add to this.

    I'm done with this conversation.

    I loved TDKR, and seeing someone of Nolan's proven reputation and all his previous work, I very much doubt he wrote an icon to be so weak considering the evidence of the Trilogy combine, and the actual events of the lat film, and also the still unseen footage of Batman mopping for the entire 2 and half hours.

    I don't care if I'll convince you or not, as you've already decided as per how you want to view it, but not as to how it's intended by the already explained obvious logic.

    (2 and half hours feeling sorry for himself? What movie did you watch? :rolleyes: )

    Avengers remains a action comedy. I'll gladly rewatch it for the laugh and for the special effects as credit is due there, but the entire cliche script was aimed as an anti-depressant for kids... and to the much older fanboys.

    So getting motivation from a cherished item of a fallen comrade is emo But walking around moping about how the world needs changing and doing nothing about it isn't. Please explain

    Also Spiderman 3 was emo.

    Yes, wanting to save the world after a comrade died, wait, after one of the other comrades had to smear blood on that comrade's belongings, was emo, as who cares about the obvious threat of millions of innocents about to die.

    And...

    Bruce wasn't mopping. Everyone is so tied around that little miss-understood perspective.

    He retired after Harvey Dent became that symbol to oppose corruption, which he wanted to create since Begins, and that Harvey symbol cleaned up the city without Batman. That was already Bruce's objective mid way through TDK. Unfortunately his plan back fired badly. He's appearance brought fourth the Joker who killed a lot of cops in dismantling his and Harvey's plans, and lost the only thing that motivated him to remain as Bruce, which was Rachel.

    And on top of that, the symbol that cleaned up Gotham (Harvey) was just a lie. As well, he's leg was injured from the fall at the end of TDK, he was shot... so yeah, it wasn't mopping, it was all good reason, and please, may the world forgive Bruce if he has some emotional conflict as his ambitions back fired at the cost of many lives.

    At least when he saw the threat Bane presented, he got out of retirement, took the beating, and returned. Didn't need some stupid card with purposely smeared blood by a comrade to motivate him.
