I just wondered what he knew about Natalie Portman that the rest of us don't, such for him to say that she wouldn't or couldn't bulk up to the degree seen in the trailer - which was only one shot of her and only her arms are exposed. And if he's saying those arms are noticeably bigger than that set picture he followed up with, I don't agree.

She’s a woman.

He's probably jealous she has bigger arms than him.

Even if Tony didn’t die I’m sure RDJ would still have retired from the role, meaning no more Tony Stark Iron Man anyway.

Its not so much that he wont be in the next film. Its not even so much that they killed him. I am saying that the quality of the film + taking out several characters ruins that film for me. I think I could handle one or the other but not both. Great truly Epic film, go ahead and kill Tony. Average Marvel movie, keep Tony alive.

His sacrifice and death was an important moment in his growth as a character from selfish billionaire to hero.

Jeepers I don't know what people wanted from this poor guy. I mean he put his life on the line time and time again. The first Avengers already showed that.

There’s really no weight to these live action movies if there’s no risk of death to either the main characters or their loved ones, live action is a completely different medium than comic books. Sure you can still have some ridiculous stuff but you really have to ground them to a certain extent imo.

It depends on the type of film, I don't go to see Batman expecting or thinking there is even a chance he will die. Its how will he stop the bad guy. How will he save the day.

If you wanna have stakes in a movie then you don't save it for the last scene in the last movie. Kill Tony and BW, two or three films ago. Instead we have Loki coming back from the dead from Thor 2 and Bucky coming back from TFA. So really the only stakes that marvel is willing to play with is "Will the actor sign the contract". That in and of itself ruins the stakes. We always know who is coming back and who isn't

You also said you’re tired of the MCU formula but you also don’t seem to like when they deviate from said formula, so what can they do? Genuinely curious.

They didn't really deviate from the formula in EG. Its still looks like every Marvel film, its still got the same silly humor, you just had some main actors that did not want to come back.

What I mean by Shang Chi and the Marvel formula is that when you take out a Hero I know and like then I am just watching an action film that is using the Marvel formula and you can then really see it for what it is. I am Marveled out.

Look I was not coming in here and trying to convince anyone that EG is not good or great. I think time might be harder on that film then people realize right now but I could be wrong. I was just saying that the death of Tony puts a cloud over that film that makes a film I am already not crazy about really hard to return to.

Hell I know its better then AOU... But I have watched AOU 4 or 5 times I just cant bring myself to watch this one because it because I have issues with the story, the final battle, how they did Thanos, killing Tony and of course ******* over Hulk


Right now I keep waiting for Marvel to do something to get me back into it.

I also think the TV shows are killing it for me. I have yet to watch Loki, Hawkeye, and Moon Knight, And I am not sure I will ever watch The Eternals.

Really hoping Dr. Strange gives me something. But this new phase of Marvel is not one I really know. Jane Foster as Thor, Lady Iron Man, Captain and Ms Marvel, Lady Black Panther, Shang Chi, The Eternals.... Never read any of them and they don't appear in the comics I do read.

I really can’t stand that guy. I blocked his videos yet they constantly show up anyway.

According to him the only way to have Janes character handled well is to have her sacrifice herself for Thor. She can’t be a good character in her own right, she has to serve Thors purpose and his purpose only.

I find him amusing.

I don't think it's fair to judge a film by its trailer and I don't think it's fair to judge NP and say those are not her arms. It's not like she was that big.

Yep. She looked the same.

In Ragnarok:

"Is that some sort of protoplasm, all the stuff that's coming out of you, or are they eggs? Looks like eggs." ―Korg to Miek

Could be asexual or just a mistaken gender for a long inside joke.

 

[abake]

That is one damn awful outfit Thor's sporting. Both of them, actually.

 

[The Entity]

I really like the Ravager look for Thor. Hope HT makes him. He'd look great with the Guardians. Don't really like his armored look. Also, what's up with the porn 'stache on Korg?

 

[ironwez20]

Sheesh this looks like Care Bears staring thor . Lol I hate getting on the marvel phase 4 hate train I really do but everything I’m seeing is just eh rn. Doctor strange from the leaks isn’t pulling me in either.

As you’d expect, it won’t be an easy change for Chris Hemsworth's Thor to get his head around. “It’s been about eight years,” Waititi tells Empire. “She’s had a whole other life, and then the love of your life comes back on the scene, and is now dressed like you. It’s a real mind*** for Thor.”


While the exact circumstances around Foster’s return in the MCU remain under wraps, the notion of her wielding Thor’s hammer was first explored in Jason Aaron’s acclaimed comics run The Mighty Thor back in 2015. “I didn’t know we were going to use the storyline of the Mighty Thor character until we started working out the actual story,” says Waititi of Love And Thunder. “I was writing and it was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be kind of cool to bring Jane back into the storyline?’” In doing so, the director didn’t want to tread familiar ground. “You don’t want Natalie coming back and playing that same character who’s walking around with science equipment. You know, while Thor’s flying around, she’s left on Earth, tapping her foot going, ‘When’s he going to be back?’ That’s boring. You want her to be part of the adventure.”

And since this is a Waititi joint, you can expect his trademark offbeat humour to course through Jane just like her new-found lightning powers. It was a challenge Portman was more than ready for. “Natalie’s really funny in real life,” says Waititi. “She’s kind of goofy and has got a great sense of humour, and I don’t think that was exploited enough in the first films.”
