Thor: The Dark World follows directly from The Avengers and beardface's first film, with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) crusading around outer space/the Nine Realms cleaning up after his brother Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) mess.
For those not in the know (which is weird. Who goes to see the sequel of two separate movie franchises without seeing both said movies?) Thor was forced to destroy the main mode of transportation around the Nine Realms at the end of the first Thor film.
