Hey everyone lately I’ve been thinking a lot about Thor due to the info we got from Hemsworth and then in the comments section constant mentioning of the Thor movies. For the record I enjoyed Thor TDW but I think it could have been much better and the talk about what they could do Thor Ragnarok has got me thinking what they could have done better in Thor TDW.
I think the films concept art shows the potential for this film when you look at the alternate designs for Malekith, Kurse, Marauders and unused Valkyrie concept art. For some reason when I look at the Concept art for marvels phase 2 films I can’t help but feel like they were better than what we got in the movie so I’m curious do you guys feel the same way?
Now the film opens in a similar manner to the 1
st film with an ancient battle and a narration by Odin. Perhaps rather than attempting to simply restore the Universe to darkness Malekith wishes to destroy Asgard and sever the connection between the 9 realms by using the Aether to sever Svartalheim’s connection to Yggsdrasil. In this version rather than needing the Convergence to return the universe to darkness Malekith needs the convergence so that the aether can attack Asgard directly. I imagine this scene playing out in a similar manner to the film but with Malekith and Algrim joined by a third elf Malekith’s wife they watch as king Bor leads the Asgardians into battle and the Kursed are released. As Malekith prepares the aether the Bifrost portal smashes in front of him and Bor and his men appear before him, Malekith battles Bor as Algrim fight the soldiers. Bor begins to gain the upper hand but is then attacked by Malekith’s wife, Malekith attempt to reach the Aether but the Bifrost transports it away as he turns round he sees Bor kill her. In a rage he charges towards Bor and is blasted in the face giving the scar which in the film was given to him by Thor. Algrim retrieves Malekith as the Kursed distract Bor Malekeith orders that all those they can gather are o go into hibernation and for the rest to be scarified so that they might survive.
After the opening scene we go through the film as usual with perhaps a little more action for the warriors 3 and a bit less Screen time for those on earth. Jane and Selvig could be researching the convergence (Selvig’s still not entirely himself but not as bad as in the film) and they go to investigate an anomaly Jane is hoping its Thor. Just like in the film she finds the Aether before eventually getting picked up by Thor. Then out in space somewhere Malekith awakens but is surprised to have been awoken as he intended to be awoken when the darkness grew and Ragnarok began. So I thought they were awoken early due to the return of the aether and perhaps Odin messing with dark magic to get Thor back to earth in Avengers (just an idea to tie in the avengers into it). Malekith decides to attack Asgard but he has more forces than he did in the film (not just one big ship, but let’s say a dozen making the threat to Asgard much bigger). With the threat bigger we could perhaps see the warriors 3 and Thor have a bit more action and have Valkyrie and the Asgardian ships be given a quick scene battling the Dark elves Outside of the Palace.
Malekith eventually finds Frigga protecting Jane just like in the film but he isant a push over like in the film. Malekith orders her to step aside not wishing to kill her but Frigga slashes at him catching him off guard and cutting the one side of his face which has already been scarred by Bor. Malekith immediately draws his sword and remarks that she has impressive skills before adding for a woman and kills her. Thor then charges in and launches a bolt of lightning at him which Malekith partially blocks with some dark Magic he summons from his sword. Kurse then appears and Charges into Thor giving Malekith a chance to escape. As in the film Thor disagrees with Odin and takes Loki and Jane in an attempt to divert Malekith’s attention and give Odin and Heimdall a chance to repair their defences.
Malekith senses the Aether has moved and takes 2 ship’s to the dark world to retrieve the Aether. This time I was imagining a battle between Malekith and Loki while Thor battles against Kurse (skill and cunning vs skill and cunning and brute force vs brute force). While they battle Loki continues to hide Jane from Malekith which distracts Malekith who is desperate to grab the Aether giving Loki the temporary advantage. Eventually Kurse starts to gain the upper hand against Thor while Loki continues to distract Malekith Loki slips away and fakes his death in the same way as in the film. While Loki saves Thor Malekith gets closer to Jane and extracts the aether. He taunts Thor and reassures him that he has no intentions of killing her stating that he once loved someone. He says that Thor will be given the honour of watching Asgard burn stating that now with the aether nothing can stand in his way before blasting him and knocking him unconscious.
As Malekeith leaves Thor and Jane would find another Portal to earth like in the film but this time Thor would leave for Asgard. When Thor arrives the battle has already begun as the dark elf forces battle the Asgardians, Malekith returns and simply scoffs at the Asgardian attempts and the Aether begins to warp his personality making him more blood thirsty and unstable. Heimdall against Odin’s orders with the warriors 3 manage to get to the Bifrost and bring Thor back. As Malekith himself gets involved in the battle the Dark elfs begin to make huge progress into Asgard as Convergence nears. As the battle rages on we have a quick look at Jane and Selvig in London as the convergence begins and the realms align. Thor charges into battle and confronts Malekeith, he blasts Malekeith through the Asgardian throne room and into the outside and shoves him into one of the Elvan ships. When this happens the ship is knocked closer to the portal above Asgard and Malekith, Thor and the Ship are pulled through and then crash land in Greenwich with the ship landing in the Thames.
Thor battles Malekith as the warriors 3, Heimdall and Valkyrie continue to struggle against the Dark elves. Thor and Malekith fall through portal after portal across several of the 9 realms. Eventually they are separated and Malekith continues his offensive while Thor attempt to return to Asgard by flying through the Portals. During the battle at some point Loki would replace Odin just like in the film. Thor goes to the Yggasril room to wait for Malekeith who slaughters countless Asgardians before smashing through the door into the room more manic than ever. The 2 clash again this time both grab on to each other desperately attempting to defeat the other, Malekith grows angry his eyes begin to glow red and he begins laughing. Suddenly Portals begin ripping apart parts of the room before a red portal engulfs the 2. Both of them are thrown once again to the Dark world where they land in the spot where Malekith and Bor had their confrontation 10,000 years ago. Malekith grows angry and talks about this being the spot where Bor ended the dreams of his people and the spot where he will now Triumph over Asgards prince.
Now the final fight begins with both using every ounce of their powers to destroy the other. Eventually Malekith gains the upper hand, Thor sends Mjolnir into space, Malekith taunt him saying that even his beloved hammer has abandoned him as he holds Thor by the throat savouring ever moment of his pain. Then Mjolnir returns and with a thunderous bang goes straight through Malekith’s stomach, as he falls to the floor the Aether burst out and continues to hover in the air as Malekith draw’s his last breath cursing Asgard. So after that the film would end the way it did with this awesome reveal.
So that is how I would have done the film differently, do you guys like this idea, di you prefer the original film or would you have done something different if so let me know below.
