Spoiler Warning from here on. The second also makes reference to a small element of the climatic scene:
If you don’t want to know what happens in the after the credits scene in Thor: The Dark World, then stop reading now. While Thor: The Dark World won’t open in the United States until November 8, 2014, Marvel Studios is releasing the film overseas a week earlier, which means many in the foreign press have already seen advance screenings of the film.
Penultimate chance to turn back. SPOILER WARNING!
Of course, with critics having viewed the film, spoilers are already flooding the Internet. The description below comes from the Belgian website Brainfreeze.be, but it matches up with reports from others who have seen the film. There are two post credits scenes in Thor: The Dark World. Here’s a rough translation from the site of what happens in both scenes.
Last chance to turn back, if you haven't already, as this is your final SPOILER WARNING!
Scene 1 occurs about midway through the credits, and it helps set the stage for Guardians of the Galaxy. According to Brainfreeze’s description, “After the Aether is back in the hands of the Asgardians , Sif and Volstagg bring the item to the intergalactic museum of none other than The Collector, played by Benicio del Toro . The reason for this is that the Tesseract is already on Asgard and they should have no two Infinity Stones in their possession. When he is alone with the Aether, The Collector utters the phrase, ‘One down, five to go.’”
Scene 2 occurs at the end of the credits, and it is a comic relief scene that also seems to set up a third Thor movie. According to Brainfreeze’s description, “Thor returns to Earth and into the arms of Jane Foster, and they share a passionate kiss. The God of Thunder clearly chooses to be with her. In last scene, a beast from Jotunheim pops up in London, having previously passed through an interdimensional passage during the Convergence during the final battle.”
So, what do all of you guys, and girls, think of these scenes. Do they wet the appetite? Are they anticlimactic? Sign off in the usual place.
Your Craptain salutes you!
Marvel’s "Thor: The Dark World" continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s "Thor" and "Marvel’s The Avengers," Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
