Dutiful foreshadowing

Obviously, the biggest role of this film is to pave the way for the "Avengers" to be released later. If you position it as a super-long trailer of more than 100 minutes, it is not too outrageous. I don't mean to belittle the film by saying this. I just want to say that Marvel is a really reliable company. It really manages its own industry with great care. It has a long-term vision and is not in a hurry for quick success. The most important thing is Have confidence in your own products and dare to put a long line to catch big fish. In this era when everyone is trying to make quick money, or put together a beautiful annual report, Marvel can really get down to it, not afraid of temporary setbacks and troughs, and persistently move towards the established goals, the results also prove that Their efforts are right.
Since this film is to pave the way for the "Avengers", there is always a feeling of being closed, even the climax of the film has a feeling of unfinished, in fact, I say "unfinished" is a bit inaccurate , the feeling should be: the film is over, the audience thinks, ah! Is this the end? But it can only be finished like this. Since it is a shim, of course, all the climax scenes have to be reserved for the later feature films, otherwise the previous films will all smash the climax scenes with all their strength, even if the production staff is Tian Zong. Wizards can still come up with even more amazing plots, but it is difficult to guarantee that the audience has already been tired of aesthetics.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, it is not necessarily a bad thing that the plot of this film is simple and restrained. In fact, the overall quality of this film is still qualified, at least better than that of "Captain America". I think there are two points of success:
First, this film is a clear introduction to the ins and outs of Thor's character, and has done a good job of "science popularization" for those audiences who have never seen Marvel comics since childhood. And it also pushed out the big villain in the feature film - Loki. Although this kid has a bad look on his face, it is difficult to see it as a great thing, but it can be regarded as a major contribution of this film to the feature film.
The second is the heroine - Natalie Portman, I actually don't quite understand how a script like this film moved this goddess with literary and artistic temperament, but it doesn't matter, what matters is that she appears In this film, let us have a little or two expectations when watching this film. Besides, what more can you ask for?
As for the male protagonist, to be honest, his big and tall man is indeed more suitable for the role of Sol. As for the others, I think he still needs more proof from himself, and he should have more potential.
I heard that now Marvel is targeting "Avengers 2" again, and is starting to play a second bigger game. I hope they can succeed. To be honest, I have some expectations, and I hope Marvel will not let me down. Of course, I also hope that DC can work harder and not only rely on a dark knight to support the scene on the big screen.
