Okay. Avengers was kind of fun, right? Every superhero served a believable purpose working with each other, especially given that the climactic battle was against an endless storming down of moronic intergalactic warriors from some deep space wormhole.

Let's take a closer look at moronic. Those bad guys are so idiotically moronic in Avengers that my newborn would do a better job of storming in from a wormhole. (which is pretty much what he did in any case, but that's another story altogether). Why are they moronic? Why do the Avengers have Thor, Iron Man, the black widiow, Hulk, the arrow guy, and Captain America while the intergalactic invaders have mulch for brains? How exciting is that? 

Here's the brainstorming session in that Hollywood studio--"Hey, Let's have five superheroes armed with bazookas and M16s and what not take on a intergalactic stampede of cows.

I'm exaggerating the stupidity, you say. Okay. I amend my statement: Let's have five guys armed with bazookas and M16s and what not take on a stampede of REALLY PISSED OFF intergalactic cows. YES! Really pissed of cows--wait a minute!-- make them rain down in one spot from a hole in the sky!

Ooohh, money well spent watching that flick!

But the problem begins earlier, with whoever commissioned the script for Thor.

Scene: in Ass-Guard (what's with the homophobia?) the king takes his blond son and his non-blond kid (aka brunet) to see the spoils of victory and challenge both with becoming the next king.

POLL: will the blond kid or the brunet kid become king? (if you said the brunet kid, you're pretty much at the IQ level of one of those stampeding REALLY PISSED OFF intergalactic cows raining from the skies.)

Next scene, Thor is carrying the hammer, pledges allegiance as the next king, and then turns out to be LOWER, yes, lower than the stampeding cows in matters relating to IQ. Loki owns him. Loki manipulates him. Loki's got his number, his digits. Makes you wonder, what's Odin been smoking all along to see Thor as a worthy successor? Oh, wait, Thor is blond. Loki isn't. Loki's brunet, even though he has genetic lineage from some sort of ICE monsters. I guess his sister must be a brunette ice maiden or something).

The next moronic scene is when they ride across that bridge during the Ass-Guard sunset to meet the blind looking BLACK DUDE who's guarding whatever he FAILED to guard already. The Brunet Loki starts talking to him, but he's told to STFU. 

The Blond Thor mumbles something. They all pass by the Black Guard. Loki is speechless. What's Thor got that I don't? Hmm....

But coming back to a moment before they event get to the museum in Ass-guard, they cross a super long Ass Guard bridge. Are there no security cams in Ass-Guard? Which leads us to the following tongue twister: What Ass is Ass-Guard guarding if it's not guarding it's own ass? How do the two Princes of Ass-Guard get across the bridge wiithout anyone knowing, least of all the King?

How about that earlier scene when Thor challenges the Icey dude king with red eyes and deep bass voice (is that great characterization of a villain or what? total money's worth, original concept), Loki says something about caution. The Blond Thor replies, "know your place!" to Loki. "You ain't blond, LOW KEY! I may have the IQ of a pea, but I'm blond and I got the hammer!"

But the good news is that a truce is brokered, Loki agrees to it. But then the red eyed villain says to Thor,
"Go back home, Princess."

All hell breaks loose. Thor being called a princess? As in gay and not a he man warrior armed with an all powerful hammer? That's a sure fight in my Ass-guard neighborhood!  So Thor goes berserk.


Great future king they have in Ass Guard, one who loses all sense of restraint and judgment when he is called a princess out of pure provocation as the audience can clearly see.

And I care about Thor enough to watch the rest of the movie because?

Karma—everyone everywhere knows the word. India’s two biggest exports are Karma and Yoga. Is it ironic or expected that India makes no monetary gain from its two biggest exports? Anyway, Karma has been around in Western consciousness since the heydays of the Beatles. Everyone knows the word, everyone uses it, but what does it really mean?

1) What goes around comes around?

2) What you do unto others will be done unto you?

3) Be careful or this might come back to bite you in the ass?

4) Shit happens?

5) etc.

These are part of the Karmic scheme of being. But there are some fundamentals about Karma that most people don’t realize when they toss the word around.

The word Karma comes from Sanskrit , Hindu philosophy and a Hindu conception of the universe. This universe is one without beginning and without end. This is also a universe inhabited by one vast, interconnected consciousness that also has no beginning and no end. The kar in karma quite simply means “to do” or “to act.”

Here’s a couple of parables that illustrate Karma:

1) You’re in a tiny boat is a vast ocean. You have a paddle. The ocean’s currents are taking you somewhere, and you don’t have to do much to get there. But you can choose to paddle and work hard to steer yourself in any direction you want to any destination you want.

2) You’re an archer about to launch your arrow. The arrow is strung on your bow, ready for release. There is a quiver full of arrows on your back. There is also one arrow flying through the air right now that you launched moments ago.

The ocean is your karma in the first parable. You’re afloat on the sum of your past actions. Your present is always taking you somewhere. But you always have the choice to take your life in a different direction.

The arrows are your karma in the second parable. The quiver of arrows is the sum of your past actions. You’ve already launched one arrow, and it’s going to affect your future –you can’t pull it back. But there’s the arrow you’re about to launch. Once again, you have the choice to launch it in a different direction at a different time.

Karma is where you’re coming from, what you’re doing, and what direction you’re going.

Karma means you’re always in charge.
