Plot: The Dark World follows the events occurred after The Avengers. Thor is fighting with his warriors for establish the peace in the Nine Realms while Loki was imprisoned by Odin by his crimes at Earth for rest of eternity. In Earth, Jane Foster is retired from scientific investigations and try to get a normal life but his friend Darcy communicates with her for a possible great discovery. Jane accepts and she goes to an abandoned factory. In the factory occur rare events that disobey the law of physics. Jane accidentally enters to another world where encountered a rare stone with a mysterious power inside. This power enters into the Jane’s body causing her losing his consciousness . In Asgard, Heimdall feels that something is wrong, then, informs Thor that he can’t see Jane in Earth. Thor goes to Earth and finds Jane for take her to Asgard. Odin was furious and wanted to expulse Jane from Asgard because, for him, humans are insignificant beings for stay in the Realm. But he sees in Jane an incredible power. The worst was discovered. Odin counts the history of the Dark Elf Malekith. Before the Universe was created the Dark Elf Malekith created from darkness a terrible power called the Aether. Malekith tried to use this power for destroy all existence and covered with dark. But Bor, Odin’s Father, declared the war to Malekith. The Asgardians were winning the war and the Aether was snatched from Malekith. In a last effort to overcome the Asgardians, Malekith dropped all his power over the Asgardians causing many death including all his people. Malekith escaped but Bor won the war. Then the Asgardians hid the Aether in a place that nobody never found.

At same time the Asgardians learned that the Convergence, a rare alignment of the Nine Realms is imminent. Because this the reality in Earth was distorted causing a portal to another world where caused that Jane Foster find the Aether. The Aether's power awakened Malekith from his large sleep. Malekith feels that the Aether is in Asgard. Then the Dark Elfs attacks the city. Malekith fails in take the Aether, but is only a matter of time in recover the Aether and begins his plans for destroy the universe and complete his vengeance against the Asgardians. Odin orders to Asgardians protect the city and hide Jane from Malekith. Thor knows that if the Aether not leave Jane’s body she will die. Then Thor, disobey Odin’s order, seeks help from his warriors and Heimdall, including Loki for get out of Asgard and confront Malekith.

The Dark World movie begins a little slow. Thor's fighting for peace in the Nine Realms and Jane Foster in Earth trying to get a normal life is a little meh. That drama is not very interesting and sometimes boring. Other issue in the Dark World was the comedy and jokes. How comedy is in a movie where an ancient Elf wants destroy all live in the universe? Well, some jokes was ok. Obviously Loki is very good with that but in another moments is very annoying. And yes, is very effective against Thor. The relation between Thor and Loki is great. Although is the same drama of a trust relationship between brother, chemical between actors is very good. Odin take more scenes in this movie. Thor's father is very arrogant and have mixed feeling about humans. For one part, Odin imprisoned Loki for all eternity by his crimes at Earth, but wants expulse Jane from Asgard because for him, humans are insignificant and not deserve be in Asgard. That confuse me. For me, the character that rob the show was Dr.Erik Selvig. Oh yes, this guy really made me laugh. Dr.Selvig is a crazy man because events of Avengers. That was very much for him. It's symptoms are practically equals of feelings of Tony Stark in Iron Man 3. When the all events in Avengers, in certain manner, affect the psychology of human characters. Although Dr.Selvig have some little moments in the Dark World, is a very important character, and how in Avengers, Dr.Selvig will be the clue to avoid that the Nine Realms (that including the Earth) are destroy by Malekith. Amazing really!! The villain was good to me. An ancient Elf that wants destroy everything in the universe is a very good standard in Marvel Universe.

The Dark World is not a perfect adventure movie, but really have a very good moments. What about Eastern Eggs??...Jmmmm!!!…. in the mid credits in The Dark World have the most important scene for the Marvel future movies. Appeared an interesting cosmic and weird character that will be vital in the Avengers saga. I not will describe the scene here. But if you want knows the spoiler you can find it now in the internet ;)
