Haven't been anywhere near interested in seeing a single Thor film, but this is on my radar.

Sounds like pretty generic positive feedback (what did they like specifically about the film?) guess they can't go into too much detail. Going to see it opening week like I do almost every super hero film, Thor is still my favorite Marvel hero, hope this film can redeem his MCU Incarnation. Afraid he'll be overshadowed by Hulk though :/.

Quit lying to yourself. Ultimate universe sucks. Only one good thing came from it, and that was Spidey. And even that is inferior to regular Marvel Spidey.
I mean, they will release their full reviews soon enough.

The Maker. (The bits that hickman wrote for him, anyway).
Not really.
Marvel's more earthbound heroes usually have a habit of getting involved on the cosmic side from time to time.
And Jeph Loeb tried putting them back together in his Ultimates.
....before subsequently having her be eaten by The Blob.
Jesus. He really did a fucking number on that universe. You'd think they sent him in as a hitman.
Thor is not typically an earthbound hero though. His movies should have been primarily set out in space from day one. This is what a Thor movie should look like. Aliens and monsters and demons and wormholes and all that.

Sooo, based on the reviews, it's a comedy? :3
People had to be explicitly told this because who the hell knows who or where they dug up this director. I bet he only worked on school projects before this.
No? You... you know they literally meet after this movie is over right? And fight together against Thanos? Thor is in space just like Guardians. Honestly one of the things they have gotten right is a similar aesthetic and feel for the cosmic part of Marvel.
All the colors and styles are consistent when we see Thor off Asgard in space and when we see Guardians out there too.
Success.
It honestly does feel like that.
Basically the new cool things to hate on the internet.

yep
What Thor comics are good?
yep
that art
so damn good
what a run that was
jason aaron and esad ribic have a great run on thor
Len Wein wrote the best stuff in the 70's, Thor #260-271. Walt Simonson wrote the best stuff in the 80s, Thor #339-407.
2012's Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Aaron is also great.
read the comic that is from. 11 issues, self contained. you will love the character after.

Hmm, I'll see if the library has these.

Reading this thread, it dawned on me that I never watched a Waititi movie and that I should probably correct that asap. Added What We Do in the Shadows to my queue on Netflix, will try to watch before the week ends. I'm kinda excited.
You had me until the bolded part. Not after Straczynski laid his icky fingers on poor 616 Spidey buddy... not after Straczynski...

I don't know if that runtime is accurate anymore, if it ever was. He did mention a 100 min. runtime in July. In August its length was being reported as 130 min., to which he replied on twitter by saying that it's 90 min., but with 40 min. of ending credits. Given how quirky he can be and depending on how you want to look at it, that could have been him debunking the 130 min. runtime or jokingly confirming it. In any case, it's still being listed on many sites as being 130 min. long. I think one of the critics tweeting impressions yesterday said that it was definitely longer than one and a half hours, but couldn't give an exact runtime.
I mean Thor was doing comedy first everything else second in the first Thor film, has been comic relief in every Avengers film to date..,
He really is.
Boy is really great too, but even though it was pretty light hearted it was a little more of a downer than I was expecting.
Still well worth checking out, though!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised the MCU interpretation of Ragnorak is basically a comedy like every other one.
"looks/feels like an 80's video game" really annoys me, because they are probably talking about a modern videogame with vaguely related 80s aesthetic, like Hotline Miami or w/e.
The Dark World was an okay movie and is only as forgettable as any other Marvel movie, even the good ones.

Most of them get great reviews as well.
Not when it's about MCU, even when coming from the director of one of the funniest mockumentaries of all time.

Do you care about any Marvel movies? Because regardless of how Waititi it is, you already know it needs to tick certain boxes just because of what it is. Which will no doubt be perfect for some... But only if you have some interest in Marvel!
Kind of like Guardians. I only saw it recently and was entertained, but with the way people talk about it I was expecting something more... Unorthodox. It still had the whole heroes, villains, action beats. Which... Of course it would. So will this film.
