Thereafter, the story basically picks up where The Avengers left off, with Loki in manacles back on Thor’s home planet - or “realm,” they call it - Asgard, after trying to take over our world and trashing New York in the process. They’re seen being vanquished (but, of course, not quite) by Thor’s grandfather. The opening sequence provides backstory on the Dark Elves, sharp-beaked, pointy-eared meanies from Alfheim who date back to before the beginning of time and claim a black, gaseous substance called Aether as their all-powerful weapon of mass destruction. There are a lot of die-hard fans out there, especially for the Marvel-verse, but then again they can also be a very discerning and exacting audience. Meh word of mouth could diminish returns over the subsequent weeks, but who knows. Tracking numbers are predicting an opening weekend somewhere in the $75 million stratosphere. In a year when so many box-office sure bets, especially sequels, have been a bust, it’s harder than usual to predict how well Thor: The Dark World will do. Although director Alan Taylor manages to get things going properly for the final battle in London, the long stretches before that on Asgard and the other branches of Yggdrasil are a drag, like filler episodes of Game of Thrones but without the narrative complexity, mythical heft or all-pervading sexiness. Most of it pales into insignificance when Loki takes the stage, which isn’t often enough given how wildly uneven the sections without him are. Amiable hunk Chris Hemsworth may play the title character in this subset of Marvel’s meta- Avengers franchise, but this well-intentioned “witless oaf,” as his evil foster brother describes him at one point, is practically a guest at his own party here, as scads of new characters and millions of dollars worth of CGI crowd the screen. It remains to be seen how these concepts would've translated on-screen in the Chris Hemsworth-led sequel, but it's reasonable to assume that adding more of the director's vision would've likely improved the film.Nobody gives good sneer like Tom Hiddleston, back once again in the pleather leggings and goat-horned helmet to play bad guy Loki in Thor: The Dark World and pretty much steal the whole show. Taylor's latest remarks about the postproduction shenanigans could hint that it was a huge aspect where his vision didn't materialize, thus eliminating the "magical realism" concepts that he pointed out in the interview. So it was that kind of thing, it was like, 'Oh, we could do this, we could jam this in here' because he's such a wonderful guy to watch do his stuff." We realized how well Loki was working in the movie, and we wanted to do more with him. We're adding scenes, creating scenes, writing scenes for the first time.

"We're doing full scenes, scenes that were not in the movie before.
In the months leading to the premiere of the MCU sequel, Taylor confirmed, via Collider, that The Dark World underwent major changes during the post-production phase of the project, and a major part of it involved Tom Hiddleston's Loki: This isn't the first time that Alan Taylor has reflected on his directing experience for Thor: The Dark World.
I think I would like my version.” A BETTER VERSION OF THOR 2? And there were major plot differences that were inverted in the cutting room and with additional photography - people who had died were not dead, people who had broken up were back together again. "There was weird stuff going on back on Earth because of the convergence that allowed for some of these magical realism things. Taylor then pointed out that the convergence plot point of the film "allowed for some of these magical realism things" while also sharing that there were major plot differences that were "inverted in the cutting room:" There was a slightly more magical quality." “The version I had started off with had more childlike wonder there was this imagery of children, which started the whole thing. Taylor shared that The Dark World changed radically during postproduction and reshoots, saying that his early cut included "more childlike wonder" and "a slightly more magical quality:"
