Who enjoyed this more than Guardians of the Galaxy?

I did.

Don't get me wrong, GOTG is a fun film that I like but Thor: TDW delivered more for me. Take away the sometimes forced humor and it's a near perfect sequel. Events depicted are more thrilling and deliver far more emotion than did GOTG. There are less logic flaws and, frankly, better characters at this point in the Thor franchise.

Sif and the Warriors Three weren't exactly fleshed out but neither are Gamora or Drax but the Asgardians kicked more ass. Gamora was dragged around like a powerless little girl at the prison and Drax was slapped around like a weak child by Ronan.

In terms of main and supporting characters, it doesn't get any better than Loki. Thor outclasses Star Lord and using Jane to ground the film adds extra texture.

The main bad guys are both ominous but one dimensional. Kurse was the wildcard added threat and led to far better action sequences in TTDW. GOTG's pod chase and the attack on and escape from Asgard are about equal. Everything else favors TTDW.

The visuals are equally impressive. TTDW should have received an Oscar nomination and I hope GOTG does.
