  3. Ray Stevenson in a fat suit and fake beard looks like Ray Stevenson in a fat suit and fake beard. A bit too much of the Fat Bastard about it.

    1. Apart from a handful of agents, so far SHIELD really aren't coming across as particularly competent

  13. Every now and then 'Thor' takes on an air of 'Galaxy Quest'

  14. Idris Elba wasted more in this than Neal McDonough in Cap.

  15. Small town setting seemed odd at the time, but makes better sense in context of The Avengers. Plus it can get proper trashed.

  16. Pretty brave of the frost giants to go to war in the first place knowing that Asgard can destroy them with the bi-frost at any time without actually breaking a sweat.
