Thor: Ragnarok Early Reactions
- Thread starter GravityInsanity
- Start date
Lmao holy shit
Perfection.
I think Iron Man 3 is actually better on a rewatch than it was the first time.
Maybe my tastes are boring but I've left every Marvel movie feeling like I got what I paid for. I agree with the general rankings about where the movies stand in relation to each other but it seems my bar for "enjoyable" is lower than most.
I'm looking forward to Ragnarok and I'm glad early impressions are positive.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Some people shitting up this thread lmao. Remember a few years back when the gaming industry was so dead afraid of the word "fun" that only Nintendo had the balls to use it? This level of immaturity is aggravating, honestly.
some of those twitter comments are ridiculous.

No one wants humor in their Marvel films, no one. That is why Thor 2: The Dark World was a chart topper.

About damn time Marvel gets a little creative. This is the first Marvel movie in years (Besides GotG) that I care about. So excited to see it!
The one dude going on about insulting Norse mythology lol

This is possibly the most hilarious follow up to a post I've seen in a long time.
People are so pedantic about "fun".
Hey, go watch Trashman vs Supertrash: Dawn of Shit if you don't understand why that's an important quality in a film.
What did he mean by this?

I dont go to the movies to have fun. I can do that for free! Movies that make me think are what I spend my money on. Cant do that at home.
If you actually read Thor comics you'd know they can be silly as shit because they are

Excited to see this! I haven't seen any of the other Thor movies (not really interested in the premise), but this one looks fun! I like the whole retro games theme it has going on. I'm totally digging Thor's new haircut and Tessa Thompson is <3.
Yeah he seems to be outraged, spamming the responses with whatever comes to his mind. Kinda funny and sad at the same time. He doesn't seem very stable.
Kinda similar to this thread.

Lol yep Thor comics are never humorous and silly, just never. Thor is simply not allowed to be funny ever.

I mean BvS is one of my least favourite films, but being fun isn't that important when it comes to film.

A) Some people enjoy films that don't come out of Hollywood
B) He had a hand in the excellent Flight if the Conchords
Just because you don't know the guy doesn't mean he doesn't have a particular style that some people are familiar with.

Cant believe I'm actually excited for a Thor movie, this looks great!
yeah but what does petyr feel about it
lol. I love this movie. I need to watch it again, actually. Im glad to see people are liking the movie. This and Star Wars are my most anticipated for the last half of the year. Taika Waititi is great, and Im glad they let him do his thing on Thor.

Iron Man 3 is great. It's basically a Shane Black film, and really clever points at too. Definitely in the higher-half of my Marvel ranking, which tends to change from time to time, since the series is still of course, ongoing.

Cate Blanchett is so fucking hot in this movie.
Taika says "I want this film to be a fantastic cosmic adventure that is a fun ride but also has high stakes and emotional truth."
Have a little faith, he even mentions steaks !

It's what Waititi probably wanted. At least it's not another RC power anthem style score. The theme could be cool too. I wasn't super-looking forward to it though, just mildly interested, given that Mothersbaugh has never scored a blockbuster before.
You should re-watch BvsS the revamp version they did with the release of the DVD because it's a good movie.

Legit my most anticipated film of the year.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Is this the same scene that's in like a city alley in the previous trailer?

Yeah, seems they've changed up where/when in the movie that happens.
edit: I also love the idea of Hela giving no fucks and just ambushing Thor & Loki while they ride the bifrost. She's gonna be bad ass.
I had an visceral reaction because I HATED Stranger Things' music. But being a film, I imagine this will still have a heavy orchestral presence so I'm going to wait and see what Mothersbaugh came up with.
That costume is ugly and ridiculous, but Blanchett sells it. Not sure I could see many others pulling it off.
