This movie sounds pretty crowded for Beta Ray Bill.

The director assures the fans that the movie is not a comedy.

"It’s not really a comedy," he explains. "There are some really great moments we’re going to have in the film. Knowing that it was Bruce Banner and Thor on kind of a road trip journey, that lends itself to a tone because those guys are both really funny. I was like you gotta exploit Chris’ comic abilities. He’s so good and underutilized in that department. He’s legitimately one of the funniest things in this film." It sounds like Thor: Ragnarok will find a good balance then and that's no bad thing.

"Big Trouble in Little China was one of those films where Jack Burton is a buffoon but he’s lovable and you’re with him the entire way. I thought Thor has got to be the one you want to be with in every scene."

Yeah, you can't first emphasize the comedy and then deemphasize it.

One is the truth, one is damage control.

I think we all know which is which here.

Yeah, that just made my entire morning!

This is a good year.

joefsas · 04-10-2017, 09:12 AM

That just made my day! I am so excited for this film!!!

*ProactiveMan* · 04-10-2017, 09:32 AM

Holy sh*t balls! That looks awesome.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 04-10-2017, 09:50 AM

Could this be the first Thor movie that isn't a waste of time and money?

'Bout time.

*DestronMirage22* · 04-10-2017, 10:03 AM

What a pleasant surprise, it looks better than I thought it would.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 04-10-2017, 11:12 AM

This looks absolutely great.

*Autbot_Benz* · 04-10-2017, 11:37 AM

Still gonna wait for Netflix to get it before I watch it. It does look interesting

*ToTheNines* · 04-10-2017, 12:58 PM

It's very Guardians of The Galaxy, which I guess is cool. Great use of Led Zep.

I'm still kind of wondering how the story plays out. I guess it has to start with Thor and Loki fetching Odin from Earth, then Hela kicks everyone's ass to end the first act, second act is gladiator stuff, then Thor and Hulk take the fight back to Asgard?

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 04-10-2017, 01:13 PM

I never really had much of a problem with the first two Thor movies but this one looks a lot of fun! Hope it delivers!

*Andrew NDB* · 04-10-2017, 01:21 PM

We all know Marvel makes great trailers.

I wonder how much screentime Dr. Strange and Hulk are going to get. I worry that after Thor and Thor 2, Marvel has sort of given up trying to make a straight-out Thor movie. And re-doing the first movie's "Thor has to prove himself worthy!" thing amidst what I'm assuming is a skeletal "Planet Hulk" storyline, with Hulk and Dr. Strange in tow? Throwing away Natalie Portman's character between films, despite two movies of growth? Probably even less Lady Sif than in Thor 2, possibly none, and still getting none of the love triangle that was supposed to happen? I dunno...

I'm also pretty convinced at this point that Hela will take the place of Death in the MCU. So this will also serve as the big Infinity War lead-in. It kind of doesn't feel like there's a whole lot of room for this movie to even be a Thor sequel.

Marvel does great trailers. And it is about time for a GOOD Thor movie. But I think this will be the Iron Man 2 of Thor movies... jumbled and full of stuff and really really just trying to get pieces in place for Avengers.

As long as it's not the Iron Man 3 of Thor movies.

"I know him from work"

F*ck me, these movies just get worse and worse...

Fiege did call it "the Winter Soldier of phase 3". So yeah, I expect to see Thanos macking on Blanchett by the end of movie.

I don't think they could make a movie that dumb again if they tried.

*snake* · 04-10-2017, 02:50 PM

I'm so f*cking happy they used Hela's comic costume and gladiator Hulk.
