How Caps Shield could beat Thors Hammer!!

Infinity War contains a huge amount of superheroes fighting the evil powers of Thanos, and a lot of them demonstrate their extreme power: Scarlet Witch (who destroyed an infinity stone whilst holding Thanos off with her other hand), Thor (who has the power to destroy a fraction of the army in his land and almost kill Thanos) and Doctor Strange (who had, but misused, the power to reverse time). In this blog I will see how Thor's axe and Cap's shield could beat or be equal to each other!!

SPOILER WARNING!! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN INFINITY WAR DON'T READ ON!! BUT ALSO, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THIS YEAR, WATCH IT!!

Back onto Thor, his axe is made from the metal Uru combined with the enchantment of the dying star (Nidavellir), this is the same way his hammer was made. In Avengers Assemble (if you don't remember) Thor's hammer clashes onto Caps shield (made out of Vibranium) and they bounced an equal distance apart. This shows that Uru (with enchantment) has equal power as Caps shield (without enchantment). These leads me on to my theory. If Vibranium was hit with the enchantment  it would be stronger than the enchanted Uru. This is assuming that Vibranium can withstand the power as that may be a quality only Uru possesses.

If Vibranium had the enchantment of the star then it wouldn't only be possible to beat Thor's hammer but maybe it could also destroy Thanos's gauntlet. In case you didn't spot it, you clearly see a mould (or replica) of Thanos's gauntlet in Eitris workshop - this suggests that Uru is the same metal that made the gauntlet. So this also suggests that Vibranium plus Nidalevir could be the final destroyer of Thanos instead of Thor, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange or Captain Marvel. However, their powers combined with the new super metal would be even more amazing.

So what do you think? This is an idea I haven't heard before and I don't think it will be used in the Avengers movie but I find it interesting. Thank you for reading and comment if you have any thoughts, but for now enjoy Marvel whilst it lasts!!

Also, did you know they are bringing the Fantastic Four into the MCU?!!!!!!!

Thor Ragnarok review part 1

Thor Ragnarok was the fifth film in the third phase of the MCU and hit the cinemas with a bang on the 27th of October.

I just saw Thor Ragnarok and Oh My God!

It's been quite a while since I've done a movie review (my last one was for Rogue One) and I thought it'd be nice too do another one on the new but loved, third film in the Thor trilogy. This film has the potential to be the best film in Marvel history - I loved EVERYTHING about it! Well, I say everything, but every film has flaws and this had kinda noticeable ones within the movie but the rest was hilarious or suspenseful and that is what I look for in good movies.

Before I go on:

!Spoiler warning! Spoilers ahead in this blog!

But, you know you've seen it already

IT'S THOR!!

"Go to hell"

Anyway lets jet into this from the start!

In the very beginning you see Thor wrapped in a chain in some sort of Hell, narrating a story to what we think is us but turns out to be a skeleton opposite him. I found that as quite a funny start of to the movie, until Thor get pulled down to face a 'Lava monster?' Basically a huge guy with horns that is actually a crown. The Monster tells Thor his plans to rule Asgard.

Now this is the thing that annoys me about Marvel villains.

And it's not just Marvel - Lex Luther does it a couple of times to Superman and many other films like Bond! Villains unravel their 'genius' plan to cause mayhem to the the heroes as they are lured to their death but instead of just killing the heroes, they give them a chance to escape  by letting the hero convince them to change their mind which happens a lot in these movies.

Anyway this kind of happens in this movie but it's really just a distraction for Thor to wield his hammer, kick the villains butt and rip the crown off his head to carry on his back.

LIKE A BOSS!

"All hail king... Loki?"

But then it skips to Asgard as Odin (or as we all know from the last movie, is actually Loki shape-shifting) is sitting on his thrown with a Loki statue outside alongside a play of Loki and Thor of how Loki 'died' starring - wait, is that Matt Damon?! Ignoring that, the play is really funny how they make Loki look like an awesome hero of Asgard as 'Odin' gets fed gapes on his throne by women. It looks like Loki has his life made but no, Thor, aka the part-pooper, arrives and crashes the fun by revealing Loki is Odin and the real Odin is missing. Then he takes Loki back to Earth where Loki hasn't been since The Avengers and goes to where Loki left Odin - a care home. They then see the care home being smashed down by a crane as Thor takes a selfie with two girls which again was quite funny!

"Strange, isn't it?"

In order to find Odin they may need help from people with higher powers then them. Maybe Jedi's, Demigods, Iron Man! No, Wizards. Eeer, what? 
Yep, the MCU has a wizard and one of them's name is literally called Dr.Strange... and he has a living cape... and is played by Benedict Cumberbatch - okay it's 'strange' (-; - but I think his first movie was greatly done for such a weird concept. And his appearance in Thor was quite funny by the way Thor has absolutely no idea what is going on, but it was a pretty pathetic and brief appearance. He kind of just shows up and goes "oh, here's your father, take him and I'll go out for the rest of the movie and give you back Loki who has literately been falling for the last 20 minutes." Agree? Anyway, they find Odin and talk to him for a while about Asgard and the throne then he perishes into the sky (also he's in Norway btw). He dies pretty quick and less dramatic than it should've been. Still a sad moment but I thought that could've been done better than it was.  Later on, Thor gets mad at Loki, Cate Blanchett (Hella) appears and smashes Thors hammer, Thor and Loki get pushed off the by-frost whilst teleporting to Asgard and land in Sakaar which is a literal realm or dimension where people across the galaxy drop their junk. So it is a huge dustbin, basically.

"The wealthy, the worthy and the... drunk?"

In Sakaar scavengers search the hills of rubbish dropping from the hundreds of portals that appeared in the sky. They mostly looked for 'contestants' for the Colosseum themed 1 on 1 battles with swords and shields, henceforth they find Thor - once again - confused. A couple of scavengers try to take him, then Valkyrie (a drunk woman) beats them to take Thor to her boss who throws the 1 on 1 battle for a hell load of money. It's quite a funny scene, her being drunk, because she falls of the platform and electrocutes Thor. This scene does remind me of when Thor is being put to sleep in the hospital in his first scene, so that was good to see how the humour hasn't changed in a way. After she drags Thor onto his ship with 60's music in the background, he gets taken into the arena and brought to the Grandmaster or 'the boss' (Jeff Goldblum) who throws the battle. He is made quite a  big deal with the others, they kind of worship him like a god. The battle he holds reminds me of the one in 'Attack of the Clones' in Geonosis but they have one 'main event' rather then 3 or 4.

"Another day, another Doug"

As Thor is being introduced to the Grandmaster he spots someone in the crowd and he is none other than Loki himself! Loki claims that he's never seen Thor before as he gets a fresh trim by Stan-Lee. Then he gets put in a holding room his two new friends Mick (a frog with knives for hands that lays eggs whenever he wants) and Korg (a man made out of stones with a kiwi accent played by the directer of the movie). Korg was my favorite character  with one of his best lines being "I was gonna start a revolution once but I didn't hand out enough pamphlets. So only my mum and her boyfriend turned up - who I hate." He seemed so casual but so funny. His friend Mick, on the other hand, was a good character because he was so irrelevant but kept on making a sudden appearance like when he's introduced or when he lays eggs also that bit at the end where he dies because Korg stood on him but then comes back to life (don't ask). Anyway, Thor goes into the battle arena with a short but nice haircut and some sort of war paint on his face. Then the Grandmaster introduces the 'main event' which turns out to be - "...oh what a coincidence, this'll be the second time he's beat me up" - Incredible Hulk! 

To be continued .......

Where's the Soul Gem?

What Gems have we found?

As you know the biggest MCU film in the history of Marvel is coming out, and by that I mean Avengers Infinity War parts 1&2! We all can't wait to see loads of our favorite superheroes battling to save the universe but before all that happens, some of the characters need to go on a hunt for the Infinity Gems. There are only 6 in total and since the new release of  Doctor Strange there's only one more that is still undiscovered. All the gems spell out T.H.A.N.O.S (if you put them together) and that's the name of the mad and main villain who wants all the Gems to wipe out the universe with his Gauntlet. The Gems are: The 'Tesseract' (Space Gem), the 'Aether' (Reality Gem), soul gem, the 'Necklace' - Eye of Agamotto (Time Gem), the 'Orb' (Power Gem) and finally the 'Scepter' (Mind Gem). From that you get T.A.N.O.S so we only need to find the name of the Soul Gem which is not yet confirmed but all we know so far is that it begins with a H.

Where are the found Gems?

All 6 stones could be anywhere as some have appeared in different realms some different planets and others hidden in different countries. The first gem to appear is the Tesseract and its last appearance that isn't a picture or vision was in Avengers Assemble where Thor and Loki went back to Asguard holding the Tesseract. Now on to the most popular one of them all, Scepter which has appeared a lot and last seen in the second most recent Marvel film which is Civil War. The film had 12 superheroes, one, however had the Mind Gem (Scepter) in the center of his forehead. This person is called Vision so good luck getting that Gem out. Then we have Thor 2's Aether (Soul Gem) witch should be buried in another realm with The Dark Elves but after the credits it showed the Warriors 3 handing it to the Collector. There is also the Orb (Power Gem) witch first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy. From then nothing has happened and the Orb is safe and sound with the Nova court in Xandar. Finally The Eye of Agomotto (Time Gem) which is still on Doctor Stranges neck. I don't know if it's Thanos, Loki or even the superheroes who are going to gather the Gems but whoever does it is going to have a long journey.

Where might the Soul Gem be?

Many Marvel films are coming out in the next 4 years and I've noticed that most Gems have appeared in heroes first movies like Doctor Strange or Thor so they might carry on that small tradition. All the already found ones are scattered in different realms, planets and cities so it will be quite an adventure going to get them all but it will be even more challenging once we find the 6th stone. Some believe it's in the realm of Asguard where the Tesseract also is and I believe in that theory to. Why, because of Heimdall (the Rainbow bridge keeper) quoted in Thor 1 "I can see all the souls in the world" also because he's known for his orange eyes which is the same colour as the stone. Another bit of proof is that in Age of Ultron Thor has a vision, Hiemdalls' eyes are white and Thor makes a fuss. He could be worrying because that meant Thanos had have got the Soul Gem. Heimdall also says he sees Thor leading Asguard to hell, so he might of meant that there all dead because Thanos destroyed the world and Thor didn't save them; although, they might not put it in Thor Ragnarok because they have included three of the Gems in the two Thor films already. Then again it would be very appropriate to fit it in Captain Marvel as most stones have appeared in peoples first film so maybe that or Black Panther, but Captain Marvel is coming out after Infinity War so maybe not, although Black panther is still optional!

What films are they in?

The first film a stone appeared in was Thor, that was the Tesseract but by Marvel timeline it's Captain America who found it first. The Tesseract has gone through all of these: Avengers 1&2 ,part of Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America and Thor. Although, the even more popular one is Loki's Scepter which has gone from a weapon to a thing in Visions forehead. The Mind Gem has appeared throughout six films in total! All three of the Aether, Orb and Necklace has gone through two and all of the stones have been in at least one film as a result of Avengers 2, briefly showing them all in Thor's vision.

So what do you believe? Will the Soul Gem appear in Captain Marvel, Thor 3, Black Panther or any other of the upcoming Marvel movies. I reckon Thor 3 but we can just hope we're right. If you enjoyed this, agreed with this or maybe believe in something different comment below because I would love to read your theories but for now all I can say is enjoy Marvel whilst it lasts!
