New Thor: The Dark World Trailer is Epically Serious

Not much laughs had for this second trailer to Thor: The Dark World, save for one gag at the tail end. Everything is BIG and SERIOUS. It doesn't feel that different from the last trailer as a matter of fact.

I recall all the publicity material for the first Thor gave off a Masters of the Universe level of camp. It was a pleasant surprise how that wasn't the case. Though Kenneth Branagh, in hindsight, had the advantage of having to work with what he had (Limited funds) and made all the moments in Asgard count.

"Marvel's Thor: The Dark World continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s Thor and Marvel’s The Avengers, Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos...but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all."
