Thor was GREAT! —
I already Tweeted and FaceBooked, but I wanted to say it here. I really enjoyed it! The few people I've seen who didn't like it seem to have one thing in common: They wanted ALL ASGARD and no story. PLEASE, guys! 2 hours of CGI fight scenes would have been AWFUL! Ughh!

I've been pleasantly surprised with how good the Marvel movies have been, and I find myself looking forward to the next one. This, I'm sure, is a recipe for disappointment. I can't help it, though. My inner nerd is showing.

When the first "stinger" scene showed up at the end of The Incredible Hulk, I was astonished, and happily so. They were obviously setting about making a Marvel Universe in movieland, and being a Marvel fan as a kid, I was... intrigued. And already they've made it so you have to see the previous movie if you REALLY want to know what's going on! I love it!

Those of us who were smart enough to sit through the credit this time know what's coming next. IF we're Marvel readers, that is.

I have a question, though: What did YOU see in the briefcase? My friends and I agreed: It was empty. But we could GUESS, and we were right. I've seen cell-phone photos online, and astonishingly, SOME people saw something else entirely. Are there different prints circulating the theaters? Or was it only visible to the 3-D audience??

Tell me what YOU saw!

NOTE: There's already a couple of correct answers posted here, but in other forums, I see people making incorrect guesses. This brings up a good point: For people who have ONLY seen the movies and never read the comics, it's just a mystery. But for those of us who grew up reading Marvel, there's only ONE thing it could be...

  2. I went and saw the IMAX-3D and enjoyed it greatly. As far as for what I saw in the briefcase: It most definitely looked like the Cosmic Cube to me.

  3. Something to consider; knowing the history of Captain America and The Red Skull, the Cosmic Cube will feature in the upcoming film and tie in to The Avengers.

  4. In the 3D version I saw the Cosmic Cube, but in the normal version there wasn't anything in the suitcase, but it could have been a glitch or something reserved for the 3D version(I went to the launch on Spain on April 29)

  5. I agree. It most definetely was the Cosmic Cube. This may tie in with the Captain America movie as the Red Skull has attempted to control the Cosmic Cube.

  6. I saw a regular 2D version and it was definitely the Cosmic Cube. What shenanigans can Loki get up to with that?

  7. I went to 2D and it looked like some kind of a bluish LED screen with some red circuits around it.

  8. I, too, saw the cosmic cube... but I'm told by others who saw the 2D version that there was nothing in the box.

  9. Watched it earlier today, went and saw the 2D version. Really enjoyed it. Couldn't beleive half the theater got up and left as the end credits started. Haven't people learned with Marvel superhero movies you need to stay through the credits since they usually put another scene then? Been a Marvel fan for longer than I'd care to admit and it sure looked like the Cosmic cube to me.
