In keeping with the ‘time of year’ and the Celtic period of ‘darkness’ (from Samhain through to Saturnalia) I went to see the latest Marvel movie Thor – The Dark World. Directed by Alan Taylor (well known for films such as Game of Thrones and The Sopranos), I wasn’t disappointed with the narrative and the skill of taking comic characters through to the ‘big screen’ and as we shall see, much of the ‘narratives’ from the ‘world of comics’ were inspired by the ancient myths and legends of ‘otherworlds’.
The ‘Dark World’ in symbolic terms, is the world that is being forged by ‘unseen’ forces that ‘return to claim’ what they believe to be rightfully theirs’.
