1. Why does Thor have short hair? And swords?
2. WHy does Hela's face look like the dude's from Dr Strange?
3. Who's the black girl?

Oh god, this movie is really going to suck.

I think that's Valkyrie

Thor probably loses Mjolnir.
Short hair because gladiator.
No clue about Hela.
And the black chick is Valkyrie.

Yeah, they said back at SDCC that Thor would not have Mjolnir when he was fighting in the arena, though I can't recall if they said exactly why.. I'm a fan of the director so I'm going to give it a shot. By virtue of the fact Natalie Portman isn't in it it's already the best Thor film. Even if that means no Kat Dennings.

Meanwhile I need to play catch-up on Thor in general. Marvel needs to make a MCU movie box

They released Blu-ray sets for Phase I and II. Sadly, they're both pretty pricey now. I've seen a couple of other collections, but, unfortunately, I'm not sure of their availability in your neck of the woods.

The first few reviews for "Iron Fist" have been posted online.

And they are not good.

What's with the whole race issue about Iron Fist? Is it because of Iron Fist's race? But if that's the case, isn't he white in the comics?

There's been some chatter online that Danny should be recast as Asian because he's a karate dude.

I don't get it. Anyone that thinks they white washed this show clearly has no idea who this character is.

Kind of worried about the negative reviews though. That's not going to raise my hopes for this show. Maybe they should have actually had him wear his costume.
