Thor: Ragnarok (November 3rd, 2017)

[a-dev]

I love the last line. It was a perfect deconstruction of the bland comedic deconstructions we've come to expect from the Deadpool Cinematic Universe. Thor Ragnarok, while technically a chapter in its own well-worn genre will clearly carry a transcendent message about not fearing what makes us distinctive. Big-budget tentpoles tend to bury the characters’ humanity under Everests of bombast, losing sight of why such themes matter. Instead, Ragnarok makes it the central motif: Here’s a guy who’s not out to prove anything yet, but by virtue of his gifts, becomes a target of fear. It's obvious that both the cast and crew are well versed in the exquisite Vincent by Thomas Salvador, and are finally unafraid to bring the French auteur's gift for satire and deconstruction to a broader audience.

You can bet your powdered pooper I'll be seeing this opening weekend, if not opening night. Let's face it: the MCU is, for the most part, quite homogenous in the way it's shot and written. The Captain America movies (as much as I love the latter two), the Iron Man movies, and even the new Spidey look like your typical MCU faire. Guardians of the Galaxy was the first departure from this, visually and tonally. Looks like Ragnarok will be the next, only it also features a quirkier editing and shooting style -- no doubt due to Taika Waititi's involvement.

I did like the trailer. First time i feel excited for a thor movie. Hela will steal the show, shes gonna be incredible. Hulk looks great.

The joke was kind of dumb and cheesy but it was ok. Didnt make me cringe, the trailer was so good that the joke was okay.

Unexpected and interesting, looks like they went GOTG route with the music and humor.

Asgardians of the Galaxy???

 

[Wor-Gar]

Asgardians of the Galaxy???

Marvel's going this way with everything now.

Very different than DC's choice of pious and unfortunate.

Say what you will about that line, but at least it's not "I'm rich". ****'s so old even by meme standards, it should be in a vault...

The MCU creates memes.
The DCEU uses memes (and then it backfires and it creates ironic memes).

MCU: 1
DCEU: 0

Checkmate DCists!

We dont know what Jeff says before or what loki might have said

The joke might be a reply to something

Jeff Goldblum's The Grandmaster must be strong if he can control all those gladiators, including the Hulk, right?

BVS was riddled with Philosophy 101 tropes. And you could tell the writers thought they were being profound because they kept reminding you of these basic-ass themes every five minutes. Gods, devils, yadda yadda. Taking itself so seriously despite hocking grade school-level substance.

And I bet they fellated themselves when they came up with the 'granny's peach tea' line. So bloody self-important.



Beyond stoked for Ragnarok because 1) it knows what it is/doesn't condescend and 2) it looks, you know, fun.

He's an Elder of the Universe, so probably. I'm more interested in the Cosplaying Celestial...

He might be like "why are you so happy to meet your doom?" Or something like that

Can't say awesome enough. Someone take some of this awesomeness away cause Mr. Green got some more.
