Thought it would be relevant to post this here instead of the official forum,

I really like your idea for GoT. Seriously, it's really cool how you tied in a lot of the classic comics like that. But I would like to offer you some constructive feedback:

While your story outline was great, I feel like a lot of the finer character details are sort of lacking. We need to add some scenes that establish who Jane is, why she's in Asgard, her coming to terms with becoming Thor after Richard's death, etc. Those are the really juicy parts of the story I wanted to do here. Jane, who barely knows how to be Thor, has to literally stop the Norse Apocalypse from coming to be.

I also think having Malekith team up with Loki to overthrow Odin instead of Surtur would flow better. Surtur isn't really known in the comics for tactful political maneuvering, and I think Malekith would be cool addition to the continuity. Surtur will definitely still be in the movie, just not instantly like that, and more as a weapon for mass destruction.

Here my idea for how we can go about your pitch:

Malekith and Loki team up and with their combined power manage to, along with a Dark Elf army take over Asgard, and are able to severely wound Odin, who is weakened due to being in mourning over Thor/Richard's death. The only one who escapes the onslaught is the Valkyrie Brunnhilde. She goes to Midguard and seeks out Jane Foster, who's been using her Goddess of Thunder powers to clean up crime around New York, telling her she has to come to the Nine Realms and save them as Richard would've. Eric Masterson, comes along with them, eventually finding Jarnbjorn to use as a weapon.

I think we should keep the mythological aspects in the story so they should eventually go to Valhalla, where they find Richard's spirit. He gives them advice on what they should do telling them about his younger brother, Balder who holds the key to resurrecting Surtur with the Eternal Flame, and for that reason was hidden away in the depths of Niffelheim. After finding him and thawing him out of the ice, he agrees with them to use his power and go after Malekith and Loki using the Eternal Flame to fight them.

With the Bifrost deactivated, the heroes make their way back to Asgard through a loophole located in Svartalfheim, where they learn Malekith's tragic backstory. In Asgard they confront the villains and do well at first, until Loki tricks Balder into getting killed by his one weakness, Mistletoe. Jane due to her inexperience is overpowered by Malekith, who cuts off her arm and defeats her. They both mantle the Eternal Flame and use it to empower Surtur who begins to destroy Asgard.

Jane begins being dragged to Valhalla but Richard teaches her the secrets to honing her powers and she rises up absorbing the Odinforce and banishing Surtur from Asgard forever. Jane then goes to Nornheim and uses the remaining Uru to construct Eric the Thunderstrike mace along with her a new Uru Hand. She then takes the throne as Asgard's new queen and works alongside Brunnhilde and Heimdall to rebuild.

I know it's similar to Thor: Ragnarok, but honestly a lot of what that movie did worked really well. Besides, it wouldn't be the first time a classic Marvel film has inspired us.

Tell me what you think and we can work out some of the other details.
