thor 1, thor 2, thor, uh, help.

For some inexplicable reason (it's either the hair, or helping Zania with her female-Loki helmet for ComicCon, or Idris Elba, or let's be shallow & say it's the hair), I'm feeling curious about the Thor movies. Except doesn't he show up in like several other movies, too? If I just wanted to watch two or three without requiring too many braincells (of minimal level, true, since we are talking comic book origins here, but still), where should I start?

Hell, for that matter, I wonder if/how I do Netflix on my computer. Not having a TV nor cable and being too lazy to bother figuring out where I could rent a hardcopy, and just not up to the torrenting risks on a Sunday afternoon.

Thor's appearances in Marvel movies?

Start with THOR, go to AVENGERS, and THOR 2 will be coming out in November. Thor's existence is hinted at some of the other MARVEL movies (Ironman 2 most notably), but he only exists in those three.

ahah, thank you!

The THOR movie is also available as free streaming video if you're an Amazon Prime member...(or at least it was free a couple of months ago, when I saw it)

It was reasonably entertaining, had some welcome humor, and lots of eye-candy.

You can watch Thor, and The Avengers, and that's all you need.

I love Thor madly.

I kinda hate parts of the Avengers (like the structure and pacing of the script, and erm... overly Whedonesque dialogue that makes me want to punch people til they bleed. And the aprt where you get more of Hawkeye being HAWKEYE in Thor than you actually do in The Avengers. And also, GIANT PACING AND STRUCTURAL ISSUES.).

BUT THOR IS AMAZE AND PASSES THE BECHDEL TEST IN THE FIRST 30 SECONDS, and also is the only MCU film with 4 awesome ladies, instead of just one.

In the movies, at the moment, there's just Thor, and then The Avengers. The second stand alone movie, Thor: The Dark World, is not yet out. If you happen to have Amazon Prime, you can stream both those for free at the moment. Or if you don't, you can rent them through Amazon Instant Video, but not sure the price.
