GarandMarine:
Yes, in the original canon (You know the actual mythology) Thor and Sif are married.
Lines:
I know they are in mythology, but I'm not sure about the comics. I only know what's been presented in the movies.
GarandMarine:
I don't think they ever mention Thor's romantic status in the comics... relationships are scary m'kay?
Neko_Ali:
Romantic troubles are always a plotline option in comic books. So long as it's relatively superficial and a source of drama. Mature, lasting relationships don't sell very well. Comic Thor and Sif are apparently betrothed. They were raised together as peers, and Odin thinks she'll make a good Queen of Asgard, so he got them together. They like each other and all, but well... In true godly tradition Thor can't keep the hammer in his pants where mortals are concerned. And Sif doesn't like Midgard all that much. So they're pretty much in a state of eternal engagement with no rush to get married or be bothered with that whole 'monogamous relationship' stuff.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the Spider-Man movie I've been waiting for yet hoping would never come :') :'( Never thought I'd be happy Sony got the rights. Going in, I was afraid we'd get a repeat of the third Spider-Man movie, and I was also skeptical about the villains they'd picked. I mean, Electro? Rhino? Harry as the Goblin played by an annoying kid?? I don't want to spoil too much so all I'll say out in the open is that they handled the villains pretty well.
(click to show/hide)Electro's characterisation was at times a little heavy-handed, but in a comic-book kinda way, and Jamie Foxx's portrayal was awesome. He was def. the primary villain and worthy of that role. Harry was better as himself than as the Goblin, and the scene with his dying dad was very effective. Rhino was dealt with exactly as he should have been, and it was funny seeing Giamatti in a silly throwaway role :) not a fan of the armor though.
The script is good, the dialogue well-crafted and genuine, and the chemistry between Garfield and the supporting cast is amazing. In this movie, they mostly managed to nail Spidey's voice and his style. I had some problems with Garfield in the first movie, but no longer. Gwen is better than ever, and though she kinda feels like a mix between Gwen and MJ from the comics... well, that's a pretty nice mix innit :) Her and Peter work SO well together. Electro's antics weren't the only sparks flying and I got a little teary-eyed more than once :') Peter and Harry had a couple of short but very good scenes before Harry got a little too melodramatic.
Anyway, great movie, worth the price of admission even if you don't pay half price like we did. Oh yeah, stick around for mid-credits X-Men scene :D
