Its a shame, Cate Blanchett's reaction to grabbing the hammer was so damn good in the first version.

The thing that annoys me about the "fun" description is when it's used to invalidate any actual criticism someone might have.
"I like the humor in parts, but I think they told TOO MANY jokes which kind of undercut the story."
"Well sorry, it couldn't be dour like Batman vs. Superman or some kind of serious Oscar movie, guess you hate fun."
As if there isn't a middle ground that plenty of MCU movies have hit.
"The third act was way too messy."
"Well, it's a superhero movie, what do you expect, they're all like that. Ugh, I bet you went in wanting to hate this, sorry, some of us actually like having fun."
^ Sadly, those aren't hyperbole.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Better PC than Mac.
They're literally trying to kill each other in the trailer.
It's what makes marvel so predictable. Some characters will never get hurt. So distracting.

Ah yes. A woman in a movie role. Must be because of politics. Sure buddy. Sure.

You're avoiding the question. Why is it a problem that the villain is a woman?
As in marvel always tries to be so inoffensive as possible. Is it a forbidden word on neogaf?

Define what you mean by tension?
Lol why do you need to be offended
And clearly if youre so hardened to it you wouldnt be offended anyway. Jesus.
Have you seen his other stuff? It's all as wonderful as each other. Honestly don't think I could pick a favorite.I love Eagle vs Shark... Hopefully Waititi keeps the same sort of the weirdness for this movie!
I got no problem with the fact she's a woman. But you know there will be no real end battle between her and thor.
Lmaoooo at this
You're just gonna act like you don't know what you're saying. That's annoying.

i love that that joke got under some people's skin lol
I actually don't know, because the movie isn't out yet. But if you know what you're talking about and you're paying attention, you know that Thor uses the Odinforce to battle Hela in the climax of the movie as shown in multiple trailers.
I guess you won't own up to the fact that you had to go out of your way to make this about her being a woman, with nothing to back up your shitty argument. Real classy.
Hela hella ass-Hela
Wait.
Did they completely change the entire context of that scene? Even ignoring the ally backdrop, I don't think Loki was even there originally.

I also saw What We Do In The Shadows which was so much fun. I had some friends over and we were laughing the whole night.
I definitely need to get around to his other ones though.

Loki wasn't in that specific shot with Thor's reaction before, but he was in that scene (you could see him in that original overhead shot with Mjolnir's destruction blowing them both away). They were both on earth together looking for Odin after meeting with Doctor Strange. Now this scene appears to be happening elsewhere on earth or in another realm entirely.

Women make up around 50% of this world's population. A lot of the world is starting to get its head out of its own ass and starting to give them equal respect and representation as equal human beings, even though we still have a long way to go.
Remind me again, how is that political correctness?
Its the same as people equating white supremacy as a legitimate political position, its not.

Was ANY of this movie shot on a set or location? They can just change up the entire setting for a trailer lol

"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality looks like oppression." Of course some men are going to freak out about "PC culture" when they start seeing women given equal representation.
We should all be celebrating the fact that Marvel has finally given a woman the central villain role in one of their movies, it only took them 17 tries. At least she's going to make up for some of that by absolutely killing it. Blanchett is amazing.
To put it very black and white.
I enjoy Paul Verhoeven a lot more than teletubbies
