Summary

Take off your pants and prepare a long scene-setting speech about space mythology, because it’s time to discuss “Thor” and “Thor: The Dark World” as we continue our Summer of Marvel. We praise the excellent casting of Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, as well as smaller players Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd and Kat Dennings, while wondering about what went wrong with Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster. (Hint: It’s mostly the writing.) Perhaps most importantly, Jason finally sees what other people see in “The Dark World” that he doesn’t… even if he remains unconvinced.

0:00.0	The incomparable number 450, July 2018.
0:11.9	Hello everybody. I'm Jason Snell. Welcome back to the summer of Marvel. And verily, we have a fine

0:47.4	talked about those movies. So we've got to talk about them now. And these are the people who
0:51.0	will be talking about them with me. A true son of Asgard in every way.
0:55.7	Mr. John Moltz, hello.
0:57.4	Hi.
0:58.1	It's great to be here, and I look forward to our discussion, Jason.
1:01.4	I do, too.
1:02.1	Yes, so, Mr. Maltz, we meet again.
1:04.3	We're not so different to you and I.
1:07.0	John and I have a running thing about Thor, the dark world, which I would like to characterize
1:11.0	is that I don't like it and John loves it, but that's not really true.
1:14.0	It's more like I hate it and John doesn't think it's that bad. It's not really much of a nemesis.
1:20.1	I enjoy it.
