MCU didn't get the memo that Malekith is supposed to be a sadistic, warmongering fae with a pack of supernatural hounds. Not a mopey nostalgist with a generic space alien invasion fleet.
MCU doesn't get the memo about a lot of characters
Julian Rodriguez that’s not always a bad thing tho because let’s be honest, Thanos killing half the universe just so he could get laid would have been really pathetic to watch
dallen33 Ok, it was MUCH more to it than just "Getting laid"
It's been a while now they messed stuff up by already killing of klaw and crossbones and they barely did anything
@@bignerd5529 lol you been watching the mcu to much if you dont think thanos from the comics was important and how lady death is the main reason as to why he craves destruction
He’s actually a pretty cool villain. Too bad the MCU didn’t do him justice
He wasn’t cool at all. He killed Thor’s mother
The makeup effects were pretty good though!
@@johnkieley8994 He looks more creepy in the comics though. Very creepy looking Elf.
@@HF-tg6dy that was Algrin
He was foiled by two human scientists and two brainless interns carrying nothing but tripods.
Malekith is my favourite villain, I cannot bear that vile injustice done to MALEKITH the Accursed .
Thor uses "iron bar" (steel type). It's super effective against fairy type!
Aha! Wow!
this.
steel is iron and some carbon but isn't thors hammer iron so why didn't he just use that?
hop bunny idk, I'm not a comic book writer.
Its all makes sense now :O
FUCK'S SAKE. THOR IS NOT A DEMIGOD! HE'S HALF GOD AND HALF ELDER GOD! Demigod means half god and half mortal!
***** Something like that. But demigod means half human half god. And that's not Thor
He is an asgardian simply put.
Metholus Caedes indeed.
I read in one comic that Thor's father is Odin and his mother was Gaia the Earth Giant.
TheRazmereShow not earth giant. Embodiment of the earth itself. And it's 100% canon
He's an angry elf.
For you
Am I the only one who gets that reference?
Malekith's voice actor is Kael'thas from Warcraft!
Out of all the big marvel movies that's in the making, who thinks it's time for another Hulk movie?
Just rewatched the 2008 Hulk today and only now after having ventured a bit further into the Marvel Universe I realised that they teased the Leader as the next Hulk villain. You can even see his head beginning to swell in his last scene. I really would like to see Hulk 2.
+Wurzelknecht You mean General Ross as red hulk? I'm wondering that myself, he's gonna be in Captain America Civil war, I wonder if red hulk will be a thing...
Logan McClain
So that was Thunderbolt Ross in the trailer. I wasn't quite sure when I saw it since I kinda thought they completely ignored that movie and every actor/actress that was in it.
***** haha, yeah, no they didn't ignore the movie completely... just everything that wasn't ross... I honestly like Ruffalo a lot better as Banner, but it's still sorta weird thinking of their physical differences. Not as bad as Rhodey though...
As long as it has ruffalo
Will be interesting to see Christopher Eccleston´s version of this villian!
Loved him as "The Doctor" :D
so, you're saying that was the ninth doctor? That's Fantastic !!!!
See what you did there.
What was he going to do with that gun. Thor is bullet proof ;)
So that's why fairy types are weak to steel.
OMEGAKEK
The Malekith of the MCU is nothing comparec to the original badass,sadistic,megalomaniac Malekeith from the comics.
This would have been a better movie then Thor 2
That should've been the plot of Thor 2, only they could've just replaced the Casket of Ancient Winters with the Aether.
E.E. Dunn that's what they did though lol because the casket of ancient winters was in the first Thor which the frost giants wanted but now that i think about it Malekith wanting the Aether which is really the Reality Gem to reshape all of reality and the nine realms in darkness makes more sense, that wasn't the problem with The Dark World it was the rest of the movie, Jane Foster and her misfit friends should NOT have been in the movie as well as Loki too, all of them were completely unnecessary. Also Malekith's portrayal was lackluster in comparison to his comics counterpart and the episode he was on in Avengers: EMH.
MaleKith is basically Thor’s two face
Can anyone else agree with me that Malekith in The Dark World was kind of...well...boring? I just wasn't impressed. I mean even if you hated Aldrich Killian in Iron Man 3 you have to at least admit despite being a sucky Mandarin he was a decent super villain.
i agree
He's really boring. It's like he's just a background character to fill in the evil role. Forgettable super villain. At least IronMan 3's 'Mandarin' post a threat to Tony Stark.
All Hail The King did open up for another Mandarin movie.
Huke Chong He was too one dimensional in Thor 2. I was looking forward to the comic book version of Malekith, master of the hounds, distrusted by his own people, half dead face, magical like Loki, using the Casket on Earth, someone interesting and cool. Boy was I disappointed
Huke Chong I agree. Plus with Aldrich they dove into how he became the way he was, like further into his character. He could've been a superhero, come to think of it, had Tony met him on that roof. Shows you how things can go wrong.
Andrew Miller Yeah...I found Kurse more entertaining, at least he was fun to watch fight.
thad weird moment went you realized your woman is actually a tree
kiurem neitor Apollo would have consoled Thor and said, "Ikr. I hate it when girls turn into trees. "
4:03 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO THAT'S WHO THAT IS!!!!!
This guy was wasted in Thor 2. Still a good movie though.
So my favorite doctor played a darkelf? Excuse me while i have a squee moment.
I know how you feel...
He reminds me of Lord Oberon in Gargoyles.
exactly
Just saw thor 2, Malekith was a pretty cool bad guy, loved the end fight.
I liked the makeup design for that character in the movie. Really scary looking.
Man I love the way old comic books look
so this great, super-powerful Casket of Ancient Winters, capable of freezing whole realms, could be destroyed by a single bullet? lol
The best stuff are always delicate
I didn't know that was Christopher Eccleston!
***** SPOILER ALERT! It ain't half bad...
I'd like to know how the 9th doctor got turned into an elf?!
@@nightangel972000 9th Doctor l.the 10th was played by David Tennet,then Matt Smith, then Petar Capauldi, and Now it is going to be a girl doctor played by Jodie Whiticker
Skylar Henry Sorry, I fixed it.
@@nightangel972000 it is ok. I am a big Dr. Who nerd.
Perhaps. After all, Loki will return in the movie as well, and with Loki and Malekith having been allies in the comics it's quite plausible. :)
Malekith looks just like Oberon from 'Gargoyles'. Even his costume looks the same. He probably was the inspiration for Oberon's look.
+HindsightPOV
Yeah he really does favor Oberon. How typical.
+HindsightPOV He does look and act a lot like him now that I think about it (Gargoyles was an awesome show).
+The Reviewer yeah Gargoyles was my shit
Frank Harris It was such a great show, I wonder what ever happened to Demona.
+The Reviewer
From what I heard, in the comics that takes place after the show ended ('The Goliath Chronicles' isn't considered canon by the creator Greg Weisman), aliens invade Earth (the same aliens that were at war with the guardian alien on Easter Island voiced by Avery Brooks), Demona teams with Goliath and his clan to fight the invasion. It's a very similar scenario when Goliath thinks he sees the future with Demona on their side to fight the virtual Xanatos. Puck hints to Goliath that it may not have been a dream but a prophecy. The story is supposed to be Demona's road to redemption. So there was hope for her.
You need to stop calling Malekith a Fairy. He is not a Fairy, he is an DARK ELF.
You ever met a fae same thing really
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 no it's not.
@@TakaS013 what's the difference then?
He is such a badass
Thanks now i have the urge to watch all the seasons now and i aint even mad.
Wow! And here I was, thinking that Prince Nuada and Loki would be best buddies because of their similarities in character. Now I know why; Loki's acquaintance with Malekith helps to sweeten the deal.
He seems a bit like a cross between Prince Nuada and Puck, two faerie creatures that I know well.
Malekith is voiced by the same guy who voiced Kael'Thas from World of Warcraft!
Thank you for making these videos Mojo. You enlighten the ignorant that would praise sloppy movie scripts without you. You and Cinemasins need to keep putting pressure on Hollywood so they don't keep shitting out movies with better trailers than scripts.
William Linkous this is true, because I was one of the "ignorant" and I thought x-men origins: wolverine was pretty good. but then I started watching these videos and learned how different the movie was than the actual origin
doctor Bnasty To be fair, just going off of what I've seen on UA-cam, X-Men Origins: Wolverine did have A FEW good scenes in it (that thing where it showed Wolverine fighting in every major American war was kinda cool). It was just ruined by its clichés and how much it screwed up favorite characters like Deadpool (I'm still kinda burned about that, and I haven't even seen the full film).
All the way through Thor I was saying: hey look its the doctor!
i think that it is funny that EVERY SINGLE TIME a hero puts a super villan in prison, ALL THE BAD GUY DOES IS ESCAPE, EVERY SINGLE TIME! i just laugh at that thought, and the heros never learn to just get rid of them.
I guess we shouldn't execute serial killers either huh?
gotta love how they refer to movies that arnt out yet in the past tense so that later it will make sense
one bullet destroyed the casket....talk about bad writing
That dark elf is axel from kingdom hearts. Listen to the end thing.
He also looked like the Ninth (technically Tenth) incarnation of a certain Timelord.
Wait he is a Fairy and he is weak to iron? Is that like a common myth about fairies because fairy type Pokemon are weak to steel types.
Yeah in European Mythology Iron was the only thing that could kill fairies.
Welp I learned a thing today.
Yep also fairies have the ability to control creatures with great power mind suppress said power to their along with the added bonus of manipulating those with evil in their hearts which is why in Pokémon Fairies are super-effective against Dark,Dragon, and Fighting types.
fairies are also weak to man with long ears dressed in green holding a bottle
+Canadian Food All magical beings (fairies included) are weakened by the presence of iron, which burns them terribly on contact.
Thank You director of Thor the dark world you did better job than Iron Man 3 by not ruined the supervillain Malekith The Accursed.
Whats was wrong with Iron Man 3?That The Mandarin was a fraud?I haven't read any comics but i heard that that's what actually happened.
Purify
The Mandarin in Iron Man 3 was a Joke. Don't you ever read comic. Mandarin is suppose the guy with the 10 magical rings not a dumb blonde with power of magma/lava power.
Jake Lor Dude,i just heard that he was an imposter in the comics aswell.That's it.
Purify
Imposter? You obviously don't understand comic book that much. He isn't imposter and he is Iron Man greatest enemies.
Jake Lor
I know that dude.I just heard that he WAS an imposter.That the real Mandarin would show up later.
I personally though 2013 was strong for comic book films.i saw a few things that did annoy me but with cgi improving its going to get even better.Marvel will do better,especially with Avengers 2.i have a lot of respect for Josh Weadon.
the winter i actually called fimbul winter a winter that will pass over 6 years after that the ragnarok begins
He was one of the Doctors in Dr Who~~
Malekith is Thor's most dangerous villain in my opinion
Lol, after all that magic and curses failed to kill Thor, He thought a shitty 9mm would do it
That tree sure gave Thor "wood" heheheh sex puns
I recently started watching Dr Who, and I love that quote
In the next Thor Malekith will be played by Christopher Eccleston. Christopher Eccleston played the Ninth Doctor in the series Doctor Who.
Man, malekith would of been a great villain in Thor 2. Sucks they did him dirty.
Is that casket of ancient winter the same casket from the first Thor that the frost giants used? It's kind of funny that the movies take a little bit from several different storylines to make one movie.
He's a Dark Elf. Not a fairy (though Elves can be considered of the Fae...).
He will be the villain of the nex Thor movie (unless he's an actor playing a character).
actually he was a human who found a stick that turned into Thor's hammer turning him into Thor. he switched between human and god until Odin said he could only be one, he chose to be Thor and left his human life behind but he's still 1/2 human making him a demi-god
This is really good, but did they forget his appearance in Thor: Tales of Asgard?
a bullet? a FREGGIN BULLET DESTROYED THE CASKET?
I thought it was just a shadow... But it was the right side of his face.
Malekith. What an original name. :P A Dark Elf, even.
Its past tense because the movie has already been filmed. They just have to release it.
slayed past tense of slay (Verb)
Verb
Kill (a person or animal) in a violent way.
Murder (someone).
Thank you for making this to get us ready for Thor 2!
I need to come here because Thor TDW didn’t tell me enough....
Kind of wish the MCU one at least made him more comic accurate, the MCU mostly gets villains right.
I was never much of a Thor fan. But I might be if the ninth Doctor in playing Malekith.
wow some idk(american english people)dont know the TRUE thing about balder.balder was the nicest guy evrywonne loved him and his mom made so nothing culd hurt him and he never fighted in his life so he got to hel
Fantastic!
Anyone else here after War of Realms.
Superhero Origins: Storm, Scarlet Spider, Luke Cage, X-23 or Iron Fist
Supervillain Origins: Scorpion, Jackal, Mr. Sinister, Mole Man or Shuma-Gorath
Wasn't Malekith the dark elf originally called Algrim the dark elf when he was alive? 😨
No Algrim became Kurse. He and Malekith are separate characters
The Casket Of Ancient Winters,an immensely powerful ancient object,capable of freezing entire planets......destroyed by a bullet.
Ah yes. I can see the Oberon in there, and Hel/Hela as well. And as Hel is Loki's daughter, there's another sweet connotation.
so that's what happens when a timelord regeneration goes wrong....
lots of planets have a north
So instead of being in the 50th anniversary Dr. Who movie, Eccleston spent his time prancing about as a two-tone elf?
I am disappoint.
people will probably watch this video some time after the movie comes out, specially those who've never read the comics
So the 9th doctors gona be Thor 2s bad guy awesome
Funny looking Dunmer.
finally someone thinks about TES
SpriteGuy64
It's hard not to...the Ears, the voice, the name....all of it feels very much Like the Elder Scrolls....and his clothing reminds me of those worn by Sheogorath.
Eccleston.... THERE IS A T!
Watch Mojo obviously has never heard of 720p let alone 1080p.
Supervillain origins taskmaster
He seems a bit like a trickster but he reminds me more of Oberon since he is the fairy king as well. But his appearance looks more like Hel; the norse goddess of the underworld who has a half black, half white face
thanks for revealing the plot for the new thor movie
the first time i have even seen this guy.
Hulk has survived far worse than the sun. And considering the sun has gamma radiation in it, that would make Hulk even stronger.
Drizzt vs Malekith, place your bets.
Andrew Levin Drizzt... Malekith wouldnt touch him...
ah, thought so because i have only seen Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, White and Black
So by watching this we all know who the villain of Thor 3 is going to be, Surtur!!!!
When the movie hits the theaters, I tempted to say "If you're an alien, how come you sound like you're from the North?"
Hot Lead never quite loses its effectiveness
When I was a kid I used to pronounce "Balder the Brave" as Boulder the Rave. not sure why.
The ninth doctor is gonna be malekith haha
I know this'll sound like a stupid one, but perhaps an origin for Giganta or Absorbing Man, maybe? Those two were always my favourite villains.
Aye, Apollo is a son of gods too. He is not considered a demi-god but the god of light.
wow now i know the plot for thor the dark world
man, balder is a badass.
ILL AGREEE WITH YOU ON THIS ONLY BECAUSE IM A COMICS FAN. he is the god of thunder
Malekith is going to be played by The Doctor? NICE.
So the people of Thor's realm can only be harmed by Iron.....well now The Punisher knows what to make his bullets out of to kill thor.
They already did, it should be in the supervillian origins playlist thy have up. ^^
