Thor 2 shows a battle on Vanaheim, where the fighters are wielding an array of swords, some energy-bow type things and some shoulder-mounted weaponry which also shoots uknown energy.
All of which are "Tesseract blue".
It peeves me off, as THAT implies that the energy used by default in THOSE realms, including all but Midgard, are all based on the same concepts and sources. "Magic" versus what we identify as science or technology.
Which totally CRAPS on what the actual concept of a tesseract / is / even if it does explain the POWER behind a tesseract. See wikipedia as a first go-to explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract (wish I could make it a hyperlink, but not in my current skillset.)
My first introduction to a tesseract as a concept was in a kids' story called "A Wrinkle in Time", where n-dimensional folded space created instantaneous travel between galaxies, without a deep mathematical explanation. Forty years later, the shorthand for the same concept is "wormhole". So, sitting in the theater, I could anticipate what the Tesseract DID, based on its name, without relying on the craptastic scene between Fury and Clint, and just enjoy Clint's BEST line in the movie: "A doorway swings both ways."
But again, that completely and totally BLOWS the original Tesseract Loki used and abused in the first Avengers movie. By confusing the TOOL with the POWER source, movie canon has left the impression that they are the same thing, and that in fact, the TESSERACT powered the SPEAR.
No. Just worlds of NO. (Like, nine realms' worth of worlds...)
So, Avengers implies one explanation, Thor 2 implies another explanation, and they of course contradict each other... and NOBODY in charge of Marvel continuity seems to care.
