Are anomaly sequences in Animatrix: Beyond and Thor 2: The Dark World both paying homage to something?
In both movie main characters enter an abandoned area where strange physical anomalies are occurring. After watching both sequences back-to-back, I noticed that there are some common ways in which the effects of anomaly are demonstrated, including:
- The protagonists are shown the place/anomaly by a group of kids who aren't supposed to be there.
- Anomaly is shown to reduce/nullify the effect of gravity on objects.
- Kids play with bottle and the anomaly causes it to reset its physical state.
- Protagonist separates from the main group and finds a door that leads to some dark strange place.
- Rain is show to be localized in improbable ways (in Thor 2 it might have been Thor, not the anomaly).
Check the video for comparison:
Are those just very common tropes for haunted/strange locations or is there some common work of fiction from which this combination is taken, to which both movies are paying an homage?

Is Korg the same thing as in dark world?
In the DVD commentary for Thor: The Dark World, director Alan Taylor revealed the stone-like Kronan that Thor fights in the scenes opening act is actually Korg.Is Thor Dark World relevant?
The film is certainly important to the Avengers saga, but The Dark World also informs much of what happens in Thor: Ragnarok. During the first major battle between the two Odinson brothers and the main villain Malekith, Loki takes a mortal wound.What is Thor: The Dark World based on?
Thor: The Dark World is a 2013 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Thor, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to Thor (2011) and the eighth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).Is Thor: The Dark World canon?
Now that The Dark World has properly been folded into the MCU canon rather than remaining a strange vestigial limb, it's time to give the movie its due. It's good as a standalone film, and as a part of a larger arc, helps to set up everything that Thor is, now.THE ANIMATRIX | Beyond | Matrix Glitch Episode F!nally Explained
