FANTASIC EDIT! Never have I seen a fan edit look more professional than the original movie. This edition flows so much smoother than the original and also is much better at revealing parts of the plot only when theyre relevant to the current moment. One thing that stuck out for me after watching both versions side by side was the early scene with Sif + co. The extended cut gives so much more perspective on what was happening and really gives you that excitement when the cavarly arrives. The film title being moved to its new place OMG, such pefection placing it here along with that music im really feeling the vibe. How was it not put here in the original? I also LOVED the way the subtitle scenes were made easier to understand for all ages via a better choice of words. I now have a clearer understanding of what was going on and feel more invested.

I would however have liked to have seen Loki's famous screaming in his cell moment as it shows us such a raw painful moment that was a direct result of his betrayal towards his mother. I feel this is a huge part of his character development where he realises that his actions really do have consequences for everyone including himself. I just wish that marvel had left this moment in their official cut.

Overall this is no doubt the best fan edit ive ever seen. I'd really love to see what you could do with the Avengers first movie as that also had many golden deleted scenes that were necessary for character development

TM2YC vastly improved this movie for me, personally (now i give it a 7 instead of an 5) His rearranging and altered narritive is more enjoyable than the theatrical release. But to be honest i didnĀ“t expect less from him^^

Technical editing is outstanding as always. My only gripe would be, that the video quality is lower than i expected regarding the source material, got some DVD vibes but still 1080p.

So, unlike the editor, I originally felt that this iteration was the weakest of the first 2 phases of the MCU. While he claims to have just "massaged it" a little, his reworking of the time line and removal of the weak humor and weird characterizations (Loki, looking at you kid) took this from a grudging 6 to an easy 9. A fantastic edit that I think the editor is far too demure about in his descriptions. The editing is flawless to my eyes and ears, and the additions and subtractions all make this a better film than it was. The reordering is the biggest prize though, making a needlessly convoluted plot as simple and straightforward in the telling as it is in its actual contents. Definitely amazing!

In my personal quest to find out the right fanedits to fully enjoyed the whole (most of it) MCU I happily encounter Thor - Dark World: Hard Forged Edition and it is absolutely a vast improvement over the theatrical version. I watched this film 5 years ago and I felt it as a missing opportunity - I got pretty bored with it. This edit brings cohesion to the MCU and subtly introduces the first of the infinity stones. Moreover, it helps to increase resonance to Thor's feelings in Endgame installment when the god of thunder returns to Asgard. So, this edit is worthy to be revisited and from now on my to-go version of this movie.

Here, the audio/video edition is seamless and the narrative is significantly improved just re-ordering the scenes. This is masterfully achieved by TM2YC. I would like to justify my lower score in the remaining fields. Audio/video quality is good but not superb in the MP4 (HD) format. It will be a nice upgrade if a better version is released. Especially, some scenes in Asgard suffer much from poor CGI which is more notorious in this edit compared for example to the Blu-ray version. In terms of audio, 2 channels are provided. Finally, my enjoyment was not higher due to the source material itself (nothing to do with the faneditor).

I really encourage to watch this edit and enjoy what TM2YC has achieved with imo a very poor source material.

I think I am the only person I know who actually liked the theatrical release of The Dark World. I'm constantly defending it, even sometimes when I shouldn't, just so people will give it another watch and see if it surprises them. But this... this Hard Forged edition is truly the definitive version of the film for me going forward. Usually, around halfway through the original cut, I get bored, but watching this edit, I was never bored.

Thank you, TM2YC, for creating a film that is truly worthy of the MCU. It will make a fine addition to my collection.
