I'm watching this movie, and I liked the first one well enough, and so far I like this one just fine. I'm not familiar with Malekith and the Dark Elves, were those a Simonson creation? Seems like I sort of remember that. Alas, I was kind of done reading Thor after issue #200.
I do kind of wish the movie was more magical than science fiction, though I haven't heard just what makes Thor's hammer work. I applaud the makers for keeping the movie under two hours.
Yup Malekith and the Dark Elves first appeared during Simonson's first year in his classic run on Thor. Too bad you still weren't reading the book then; it really lives up to the hype.
ReplyDeleteI read some of the run, but I didn't care for the whole Beta Ray Bill story line back then.
