Thor: Ragnarok (Taika Waititi, November 3, 2017) Movie • Page 14

Sam Neill is Odin there as well.

 

Oh shit, it was haha. Now it’s even better

 

I got told today that I look like Jack Black

 

I fucking love Jack Black, I would be so devastated if some shit came out about him

 

I definitely remember how Jack Black and “School of Rock”’s crew had to personally beg Led Zep to let them use that song because they were so protective of their songs. Now, Disney can just a boatload of money at them and they’re good.

 

Finally caught this today and really liked it. It really felt like the quickest-paced Marvel movie, but it was a good mix of action and humor.

 

Does everyone feel like Hela was a good villain? Well acted yes, but I didn’t feel like she had much more depth than others before her. Them being siblings held no weight to me.

 

Yeah I thought it was hollow as well. I thought the storyline of her and Odin conquering and that painting ceiling was great but it was just glossed over and didnt even affect Thor when he found out. I get Marvel doesnt want to spend time on developing its villains and focus time on heroes, but its a shame, because she had potential to be great. There was just no complexity to it.

She was caged. Unleased. Beat the army to take over Asgard, couldnt do anything without the bifrost sword so she was just chillin there until the Revengers came back. They didnt give her anything to actively do other than kill the citizens and what not.

 

Don't you dare profane my sacred queen, Hela, the Goddess of Death. She was fabulous and magnificent.

 

she was Hel(l)a fierce

 

I just wanted more of her! Idk how they could’ve done that. She just needed more to do!

 

I both loved Hela and wished she had more scenes. I wish she had a scene with the Grandmaster because a Blanchett/Goldblum battle of the wits would be hilarious, even though I admit there is no story reason for that to happen.

 

She looked the part and Blanchett is a great actress, but her character was textbook Marvel villain with no depth and a silly twist. Thor was fine with watching his sister stay and get destroyed by Surtur but hasn’t been able to do anything to his backstabbing, lying, stealing, traitorous brother except shock him once.

 

Well, I mean to be fair he grew up with Loki and loves him, that talk in the elevator showed that and was a great scene.

He literally found out Hela was even a person like a day before and she is pure evil. I don't know if anyone would really react too differently, he has nothing connection wise to her than blood he just found out about.

 

Thor actually has a personal relationship with Loki. Hela was someone he didn't even know exist before the movie, and he has no obligation to care about her. Now, that makes the siblingship nothing more than a plot device but it does give an effective reasoning for the events in the plot. Of course, it could've been more than just functional but at least it IS functional.

 

But I saw the movie last night btw and man is it a good time. I literally have zero complaints.

 

This was pretty fun. Jeff Goldblum stole the show for me.

 

I just checked Box Office Mojo and this movie has made $738 million worldwide. It's the 8th highest-grossing film in the MCU and I haven't really seen anyone talking about how insane that is. That's more in 17 days than Captain America: The Winter Soldier made in its whole run.

 

What is it adjusted for inflation?

 

Didn't look at that one, but they only have adjusted numbers for domestic totals, not worldwide.

 

saw this Saturday, and wow what a great movie. so funny, so well done. was told by a friend that it felt a little too Guardians but I enjoyed it a LOT and would like to go see it again.

 

We just saw it last night....hilarious.
