re: Thor: Ragnarok ( Spoiler Thread )

Saw it last night, enjoyed it very much. The humor wasn’t an issue for me, save the Korg line at the end, not sure why they kept it. If Thor dispatched Sutur so easily in the opening, why did Hella struggle w/Sutur? And why was he ginormous for that fight, but was much smaller in the Thor fight? Enjoyed just about every minute

Ah gotcha, figured I missed something. Also, was that big destroyer metal guy from first Thor movie (the one that appeared from behind the wall to blast the Frost giants & later taken out by Thor) the only one? It seemed like he could’ve been summoned to help fight Hela.

because Thor has magic Superman is probably fricked.

How much magic does Thor have now? He controls lightning and Mjolnir. Unless we're talking about Thor with his "unending cosmic Odinforce" (which is a bit of a deus ex machina, making him all powerful).

Superman is affected by magic. It doesn't mean that magic affects him more than the average person. It just means that if a sorcerer turns him into a dog, then he turns into a dog. But if Thor's hammer is flying hard enough to break through a wall... then that's how hard it will hit Superman. It's not going to hit Superman with more force because "Superman gets hurt by magic". Same with the lightning. It's Superman getting hit by lightning.

You should know by now that you can't say anything negative about the MCU around here. It has to be nothing but high praise for these films.

There's plenty to criticize about some MCU films, even this one. And they are criticized often without disagreement or a big fight. But because, in general, MCU has been good and DC has sucked, psycho DC fans make cliche statements like this because... well, I don't really know why. Insecurity?

Ah yes, always the standard go to on this board.

Well that statement isn't hypocritical at all...

If you don't love the MCU, you must be a DC fanboy.

I don't know if you love the MCU or not. You said something stupid along the lines of what a DC fanboy would say.

Go ahead and show me proof of me being a DC fanboy, I'll wait.

Your last unoriginal post is pretty convincing.

Damn dude, did I hit a nerve? You take this stuff way too seriously

I'd pump the brakes on that one. Here's how it goes when it's not voted on by a board dominated by Marvel fanboys.

Ah yes, the vaunted Marvel fanboy group.

FWIW, this happened before there was a deep disagreement and insecurity. This was like 2010-2012 when TDK, was still the unquestioned 3rd greatest movie of all time, right behind The Godfather and The Good, The Bad the Ugly. Seriously. TDK is the 3rd greatest film of all time. So the whole Marvel fanboy thing, yeah that doesn't exist.

I'm guessing when we do this again, TDK will still, undeservedly, be in like the Top 25 greatest films of all time and there won't be a single Marvel film in that group.

You don't think fanboys had a say in that video? Superman didn't lose to Thor btw, he lost to Shazam - due to Magic - in the semis or quarters, don't remember. Thor then beat Shazam in the finals.

Wow. You really are a cliche machine. I made an observation. I don't even read comics. Liked this movie. Liked WW. Hated Thor 2. Hated BvS. And I've seen people praise and shite on each. In general, the better movies get defended more. In general, the MCU has had better movies. I don't know why anyone has to explain this to you.

Hence why I think his sarcastic comment about not being able to criticize MCU films around here deserved a response.

This x100. I think most people who enjoyed the film have mentioned plenty of things they didn't like - from Valkyrie, to some forced jokes, to some of the carefree attitudes for important story points or situations - and those comments get completely overlooked just because someone, in spite of those problems, probably liked the film.
