Does Patty have any experience of making an action movie with a big name cast? Nope. Unless they fancy hiring Kathryn Bigelow, she at least has experience, but we both know what her answer would be.

My problem is the lack of experience and her last feature film being made yonks ago! This is a new decade, things have changed. End of.

Outside of some scenes in \”Henry V\” did Kenneth Branagh have any experience of making an action movie before Thor? Obviously you thought that turned out ok.

\”But a woman finally directing a comic franchise could potentially be interesting\”. Didn\’t a woman direct \”Punisher: War Zone\”? If she gets the job let\’s hope it turns out better than that experience….for her sake and ours.

What exactly makes Patty Jenkins the least suitable person to direct this, Mr Anonymous? Aside from a few episodes of Game of Thrones, her CV isn\’t all that different from Brian Kirk\’s, albeit less prolific… A lack of VFX experience didn\’t seem to be a problem for Chris Nolan, or Kenneth Branagh.

Could it possibly be that you have a problem because… she\’s a woman?

What an absolutely ridiculous choice for director! I mean we all know Marvel are cheapskates but seriously? This has disaster written all over it! If Marvel want a sure fire epic fail then hire Patty.

Do whatever the fuck you can to get Brian Kirk or anyone else SUITABLE to direct the franchise.

I still can\’t believe it!

So what happened to Brian Kirk? Is the whole Paper Wings thing with Tom Cruise forcing him to drop out? Or is he still in contention?

Bruce, you just said the exact same thing about Captain America, but you switched out Cap with Thor, are you a robot?

There are many Thor allies and villains that weren’t included in the first film which they can utilise in future sequels and give us new stories while leaving the overused Loki out of future sequels.
