Thor: The Dark World (2013)

About this episode

The episode discusses Thor: The Dark World and its significance in the MCU.

This week we take a trip to Asgard to catch up with the God of Thunder and his second outing in Phase 2 of the MCU with Thor: The Dark World. Journey with us as we discuss this important film in the Infinity Saga story that introduces us to another Infinity Stone and returns an old villain to a more anti-hero state, albeit while the film juggles some interesting story choices and behind the scenes director shuffling. Is this still the weakest of the Thor films or is it vastly better than we remember? So pour some rye, grab Mjolnir off the coat rack, and get ready to stop the Convergence. Cheers!
