There's a moment when watching Thor: The Dark World when the titular character comes on the screen shirtless for a wash. The camera follows Thor, panning up his biceps and his abs, lingering for a solid minute. Captain America: The Winter Soldier has its hero in increasingly tight shirts. Welcome to the female gaze.

This gag reel from the blu-ray of Thor: The Dark World definitely makes one thing clear to us: as cool as capes are, they can also be distracting in a fight. Like, very distracting. Also, ravens don't give a flying eff about anything, dark elves are all about bouncing up and down, and Chris O'Dowd is the actual best.

And now you know how all those gifs of Tom Hiddleston with Thor hair showed up on Tumblr.

We were mostly kidding when we said that Tom Hiddleston should dress up as all the Avengers, but now we're pretty sure he's actually already done it. Case in point: the Thor: The Dark World blu-ray extras not only include Loki as Captain America, but also show screen tests of Hiddleston auditioning for the part of Thor.

If you're confused, you might need a reminder (or explanation) that in this scene in Thor: The Dark World, Loki transforms himself into a likeness of Steve Rogers in the Captain America suit to needle Thor. Tom Hiddleston explains that this scene was filmed and then shown to Chris Evans, so that he could capture Loki as Cap in his own performance, "It's him doing an impression of me doing an impression of him, and it's brilliant." On the contrary, Mr. Hiddleston, it's Chris Evans doing an impression of your impression of Loki's impression of Captain America. We need to go deeper. But that still doesn't explain why this scene required Tom Hiddleston to wear his own Captain America suit.

Spoilers for Thor: The Dark World if you were waiting for the DVD (but whatever, you know we don't care) -- remember that great cameo Chris Evans had as Loki pretending to be Captain America? As luck would have it, there's now also footage that's been released of Tom Hiddleston wearing the stars and stripes himself.

Concept Artist Josh Nizzi shared a number of unused art he produced for Thor: The Dark World, and among them are three progress shots of Valkyrie, or at the very least, a Valkyrie. While Vaklyrie is a superhero with a long history in the Marvel universe, and many incarnations within mortal women, she first appeared as about as literal a straw feminist as you can get: an pawn of the Enchantress created to divide the Avengers along gender lines by encouraging the Wasp, Medusa, Black Widow, and Scarlet Witch to embrace women's lib. In retrospect, I assumed the issue would be kind of painful to read, but it turns out there's no better response than laughter to the existence of a comic in which someone smashes through a window and yells "UP AGAINST THE WALL, MALE CHAUVINIST PIG" at the Hulk. That's a line that's really lost on any color of Hulk except perhaps this one. It's a pity Valkyrie (or a Valkyrie, or the Valkyries, I'm not picky) didn't get her debut in The Dark World, but really the movie had enough on its plate already. Maybe next time. You can find two more pieces of concept art, including one with her winged horse Aragorn, at Nizzi's page.

A little while ago, Jaimie Alexander told an interviewer that she was getting more involved with the children's hospital in LA and hoped to go in-character to hang out with the kids sometime soon. Well, she did this week, giving out posters and DVDs and letting the kids pose with Sif's sword and shield. Cuuuuuuuuuuute.
