We see Odin sentencing Loki to prison followed by the battle on Vanaheim. We flash forward to the present and things play out mostly the same as the real movie. The boy – now a king – vows revenge on the Asgardians and we flash to our opening credits. Malekith Senior’s lieutenant, Algrim, drags the boy away as the Dark Elves’ ships fall from the sky in a last ditch attempt to wipe out the Asgardians.Īlgrim and Malekith Junior escape with the last of their men and retreat into deep space. However, inches from his fingertips, it is sucked up by the Bifrost. Malekith Junior feels the Aether calling to him and reaches out to claim it. It’s clear that there is some connection between the boy and the Aether. Malekith Junior cries out in anguish and the Aether immediately surges towards him. Malekith Junior is just a kid and we see the horror of what is happening through his eyes as his world burns around him. Malekith Senior wields the Aether and essentially takes on the entire Asgardian army until Bor and a young Odin kill him, releasing the Aether. But this time, the leader of the Dark Elves is Malekith’s father.įor the purposes of this rewrite, let’s just call him Malekith Senior. Odin explains how the Dark Elves were a powerful ancient race who planned to use the Aether and the Convergence to destroy the universe. This was a great sequence and it will remain largely unchanged. We open with the final battle between the Asgardians and the Dark Elves. Our first act will remain mostly the same. She’s an anomaly, a wild card who has no place or significance within the epic saga of the Asgardians. Jane meanwhile, isn’t even supposed to have a role in this story. Thor is destined to be king, Loki is destined to be the villain and Malekith isn’t even supposed to exist any more. Each of our main characters has a particular role within this universe and must determine whether they are bound to this path or are free to forge their own, whatever the consequences. The biggest change going into this version is that the story is now very much concerned with the idea of destiny. This is just one overzealous fan’s perspective of how the movie could be improved. Keep in mind that I don’t mean to imply that I know better than a professional writer who actually gets paid to do this sort of thing. While I thought the first movie was quite fun and the second movie was decent, I never quite felt that they were able to fully take advantage of the blend of fantasy and sci-fi that makes Thor unique. I’ve always thought the Thor movies had the most potential out of all the Marvel solo movies to truly deliver something spectacular.
