Just some stuff

Potential spoilers afoot! From a love triangle, to character-building moments with Malekith, Thor: The Dark World's Alan Taylor discusses deletes scenes and implies that he'd be game for a director's cut!

While Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World has mostly been well-received, there are some reviews that criticize the sequel lacking character to the main baddie, Malekith the Accursed, as well as his motives. But according to The Dark World actor Christopher Eccleston and director Alan Taylor, there were a lot of character-building scenes filmed, but they evidently didn’t make the final cut.  Speaking with CraveOnline, Eccleston discussed the initial conversations he had with Taylor and Marvel about his Dark Elf leader:

“Well, the first conversation with Alan [Taylor] was about how he wanted to avoid “the cackling fiend.” Alan spoke to me a lot about the Dark Elves’ sense of their own gravitas and aristocracy, and their ancientness. He wanted them to have a sense of entitlement and bearing. He wanted them regal, you know, that they felt that they were the superior beings of the Nine Realms. And of course, as in any film, the script that we shot is not the script that people see. There were various scenes in there, which for whatever reason didn’t make the final cut, which shaded in Malekith’s background. So even though the audience don’t hear about it, I’m hoping that it’s still present in the performance.”

About those deleted scenes, Eccleston explains, “There was a scene where Malekith was in a certain area of Svartalfheim and remembering his children, his wife and children bathing there, and they had been lost to him. And some of the actions of Odin’s father, Bor, also. There was an extended scene with Anthony Hopkins where they discussed what had caused this ancient grievance between The Dark Elves and themselves. That kind of material. More character-related, yeah.”  When CraveOnline spoke with Alan Taylor, the Thor: The Dark World helmer was asked about the deleted scenes that Eccleston mentioned, and if there will be a director’s cut:

“Wouldn’t that be great? [Laughs] Maybe if you start the lobbying right now you can build up enough demand that Marvel will have to respond. I think it’s always the case with these big movies that that happens, and it’s painful to me because I absolutely love, love, love, love a lot of the stuff that fell by the wayside. Some of it was Malekith. You saw a lot more into the relationship between him and Algrim. You saw a lot more of what was driving him personally. And as I mentioned already there was a lot more with the kids, you saw them explore these fantastical events that were going on.” Alan Taylor added, “Yeah, that’s excruciating. Whether it’s whole scenes that are dropped or whether it’s beats or lines or moments that fall away in the drive to make it faster, tighter, funnier, quicker, more efficient, so yeah, that’s the excruciating thing. I think if there was a director’s cut it would be that much different. Maybe someday. Maybe someday if I become such a huge success later on in life I can come back and do it.”  On another note, Alan Taylor was also questioned about developing a potential love triangle between Thor, Jane Foster, and Sif in the Marvel sequel:

“No. I think always that’s there, in the comic mythology, and it gets really complicated in the Norse mythology. [Laughs] The trouble is there’s never quite enough time to serve all these things, but I try to gesture towards it a few times. I think Jaimie Alexander does wonderful job in the scene where you can tell she’s trying to advise Thor how to be a good king, but really she’s just speaking out of jealous. That’s outside the pub. That’s a nice moment. And there’s a tiny glance that I thought was really wonderful between her and Jane, where they’re sort of sizing each other up. The only finish to that is that she’s the one who stays behind to hold the guards back as Thor runs away with Jane. That’s the beat in that arc that’s very brief out of necessity in the scale of things. I think Sif’s not going anywhere. There may be another chance to explore that.”  What do you think? Anyhow, be sure to read the great interview in its entirety over at CraveOnline! 

Hey, guys! So apparently, Alan Taylor himself supports the idea of showing the director’s cut of Thor: The Dark World once the movie is out on DVD and Blu-ray. As we all now, there are MANY scenes (including the Loki-screaming-in-his-cell one) that have not been displayed in the final version of the movie.

If we manage to convince Marvel that there’s an interest in seeing this non-shown material, then there’s a chance that they will consider including it on the DVD or Blu-ray release of the movie! Alan Taylor has encouraged the idea, so why not doing it?

Remember what happened with the Solo Loki Movie petition: we managed to make Kevin Feige (Marvel’s President of Production) consider it as a potential project already. Then why wouldn’t we be able to convince them to release the director’s cut of Thor 2?

If you want to see the director’s cut of Thor: The Dark World (which includes ALL the deleted scenes from the movie), sign HERE. (Just put you name and e-mail and it’s done!)

Please, sign the petition for Marvel to release a different version of “Thor: The Dark World”, the one that was filmed before the script was changed. It’s not about deleted scenes they promise to include into the Blu-Ray version. Not only the story itself underwent a serious change, but the director’s cut has a different spirit, too, and an actual characters’ development.

The petition was suggested by Alan Taylor himself.

Even if you’re absolutely satisfied with the theatrical version, wouldn’t you be interested in seeing the film from a different angle with more things explained and with actual depth to all of it?

Or do it to appreciate the actors’ great work that was much more than you have seen in a cinema, and it’s just a crime to let it all be lost just because Disney didn’t approve it and wanted it to be a Disney film istead of Alan Taylor’s film.

Loki Laufeyjar sonr

Again, inspired by Sotto la pelle by (my muse) Callie Stephanides.

Loki’s beat is imperceptible; his skin’s ice cold. Thor wraps him in his cape, hold him tight. Loki doesn’t react.

So I saw this here and I just had to point out something.

Does anyone see the way Thor cushions the force of shoving Loki against the pillar by putting a hand on the back of his neck? And does anyone else see the way his thumb moves ever so slightly forward to caress the side of Loki’s face? And how he gets close and then instantly moves back to put some distance between them?
