Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Very underrated in the Marvel canon, if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why this movie cops so much flack. My only crit is the villain is too disposable.
ReplyDeleteWhich would be pretty biting criticism, if it weren't also true of MOST Marvel movies.
ReplyDeleteI loved Thor 2 because it was almost the most striaght-up fun movie Marvel has made so far (the only that beats it in this category is Guardians of the Galaxy, which also suffers from a pathetic villain). It's like 90% cool derring-do.
Main villain boring, but the dark elf mooks design is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to watch it again now...
ReplyDeleteThor 2 is my favourite Marvel movie. I HAVE OPINIONS!
ReplyDeleteMalekith is bland but it's ok. Because in a Thor movie the antagonism is provided by the screwed up relationships between Thor, Loki and Odin.
The job of Malekith - or any other Thor villain - is to put pressure on that triangle and throw it off-balance. Then Loki and Odin will create ALL THE ADVERSITY IN THE WORLD.
A scene-stealing, Joker-like villain would draw attention off our three leads and their conflicts. We don't need it.
Basically every Thor movie already has three great villains - Loki, Odin, and the throne of Asgard.
