Funny that the elves had a prototype that could control the bifrost, yet Odin chose to summon dark magic to send Thor to earth in The Avengers

Hemsworth's current slate...

2018 - Bad Times at the Royale - Sounds fun, features an amazing cast. I don't think it'll move the needle in terms of star power, though, as he looks to be part of an (awesome) ensemble. Still, it at least looks to be different enough from anything else he's done.

2019 - Untitled Avengers 4 - Likely his last stint as Thor.

2019 - Untitled Men in Black Spin-Off - With him and Tessa Thompson as the two leads, I think this actually has a ton of potential. Likely gets him closer to Rock status as well.

NOTE: Both A4 and MiB hit theaters May 2019. This could be where Hemsworth finally gets over the hump and raises his profile even more, but we'll see.

2020 - Untitled Star Trek 4 - Returning to the role/franchise that first made him somewhat of a name. Could be cool, but also more of the same, so who knows.

He'll surely have other movies over the next couple years as well, and I'm hoping one of them is the smart, modern-day action hit he desperately needs. Something more grounded and original. Blackhat was supposed to be that, but Mann sh*t the bed on that one, so Hemsworth needs to find something else with that caliber director and in the same general vein.

I thought Hemsworth was pretty good in "Rush"

Also forgot we get that scene with Natalie Dormer's fine ass tiddies

Russo bros break down Thor meeting GOTG

Thor seems right on the edge becoming so overpowered that it's hard to make a good movie with him.

Basically just confirming that Valkyrie survived...

she was probably passed out drunk, and the Black Order thought she was dead

Where's Wong? What happened to Valkyrie? And more importantly, what's going to happen to the cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.LD.? (Just kidding, I know you don't care about those last guys.)

Savage.

One of the credit scenes had stan Lee standing before the watchers, which means some level of inhuman involvement I think. The moment shield got into that, I stopped paying attention.

forgive me if it has been discussed

one thing that bothered me is why didn't Dr Strange use the time stone to just quickly age Thanos until he was dust? We saw him do that with an apple in his movie and we saw Thanos reverse the death of Vision.

it seems like DS could have just turned his hand and made Thanos age and die. Are we to assume this was one of the 14 million options and it didn't work?

---

This is another example of people reading into things that aren't really there, I think. When have we ever seen the Time Stone turn time forward, unless it was just turned back (like the apple in Doctor Strange)? It provided Strange and the Ancient One visions of possible futures, but I don't think it's ever turned time forward.

We have seen the time stone localize the time distortion....if you dont think it has the power to age something, turn back time on Thanos 1) before he collected the stones or 2) when he was a fetus then light him on fire. If he survives you have 40-50 years before he is full grown.

How much have we seen the Time Stone do? Thanks could reverse a few seconds, there was that time in Doctor Strange where he was able to undo a few minutes of destruction on a city block, but ultimately it seems like an artifact that's pretty limited in its scope. Even the Time-Turner in Harry Potter was more powerful.

These are also things we have no indication the stone can do, though, right? It's very powerful but seems to be incredibly limited, which tracks with the warning about natural law in Doctor Strange.

If infinity stones have the power to kill half the universe, then I'm pretty sure their power is more than just localized and minimal.

The infinity gauntlet has that power. Not a single unfocused Stone (that we know).

The gauntlet itself only allows someone to bear multiple stones. The power is the stones themselves, not the "synergy" of the gauntlet.

And to be fair the time stone is not unfocused. It is encased in the eye of agamotto.

Strange took an Apple with a single bite in it, and used the stone to completely consume and then mildew it.

It took all the stones to kill half the universe. Not a single stone or even 5 of the 6. So there is obviously a synergistic effect going on once in the gauntlet. Stones can be used to aid and focus other stones.

Yet you think THE TIME STONE can only rewind reality a few minutes at most.

I never said or implied any such thing.

The Debt said:

Just that a stone has limited power on it's own and was "unfocused" because stones need lannister gold to make em work.

---

No. I believe it was you that implied that because the infinity gauntlet could kill 1/2 of the galaxy, that individual stones aren't just localized or minimal.

I merely pointed out that the infinity gauntlet had all the stones and that they help focus each other to achieve greater powers. The MOVIES haven't really given us a good grasp of what a single stone can or can't do. I'm not sure if the time stone alone can turn back thousands of years to Thano's birth to "when he was a fetus then light him on fire."

Well, we know it took a quarter turn to undo a minute's worth of damage to the Mind Stone, so if Strange can sit there and turn his wrist 131 million times, he may well be able to undo 1,000 years of Thanos's aging.

This is probably a fair statement - it's the gauntlet being used to harness and wield the power of all the stones at once.

The Power Stone can destroy planets, but only if the guy wielding it is standing on the planet (a la GotG). However, Thanos was able to throw a moon in the battle on Titan because he was wielding multiple stones together.
