>What did you think of this?

The tone is completely different from the other Thor movies but I don't think it's a super radical change overall in the MCU

thought it was fine, at the end of the day it is just a capeshit film and I'm not looking for some deep experience out of it

The tone is better, in a way, because it has more fun with a very silly character. The setting is good. The characters (minus the alcoholic valkyrie) aren't bad. The overall plot is more engaging than the last two movies.. But the writing is all kinds of shit. Waititi's brand of humor is love it or hate it, and most normalfags love it. I hate it. All the awkward stuttering and clumsiness gets tiresome once you notice that every single fucking character is written with the same sort of style. None of them are humorous in their own way, every single joke is just fumbling over bad dialog and falling down and characters getting prideful and puffing themselves up moments before they take a 180 and get humiliated.

The villainess is also pretty shit, though I do like the twist on the Asgardians being hypocritical dickbags. The final twist at the end is moronic, too.. But Thor Captaining a spaceship of ragtag aliens and Asgardian warriors would be a fun movie if you took the creative team from this movie and hired a different writer/director.

It wanted the Guardians audience. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I'm a sucker for anything with colourful alien planets.

The biggest problem with the movie was how it changed Thor's personality and made him the butt of all the jokes. Having him playing straight man to all the shennanigans would have worked perfectely well, but in the first half of the movie was people jerking Thor around and him being a bitch. He gets jerked around by Strange Which was actually funny and then procceds to get beaten around for slapstick comedy, and screams like a bitch at multiple times because Thor screaming like a girl is apparently the zenith of comedy. For instance, the scene where Thor is in the chair and he freaks out and screams, it would have been way funnier and more in character, if Thor was so unfazed by the chair, that the bad guys weren't sure if it was working. Have him strap in a mook, who dies of a heart attack because he's so freaked out.

The way the movie treats it's heroes is fucking horrific in all honesty. When Bruce jumps out of the ship at the end, that might have been the most dramatic and heroic moment in the entire MCU. Banner was under the belief he was basically killing himself by brinking the Hulk out. He didn't think he would come back from it. And we aren't allowed standalone Hulk movies. This was literally his big, giant, shining moment in the MCU, and we got that dumb fucking "splat" joke, which not only shit on Bruce's sacrifice, it also flew in the face of continuity. It had been clearly established over multiple movies that the Hulk will come out no matter what if Banner thinks he's about to die. And they shit all over that for one of the most predictable jokes I've ever seen.

I didn't hate the humor, but the humor refused to let me appreciate the movie. By the halfway point of the movie, I was literally thinking, "That joke would have been funny if he hadn't put in those 20 jokes before now.

This is the biggest missed opportunity in a movie filled with missed opportunities. It's clear the kiwi fag who directed the movie couldn't take a break from jokes undercutting any tension or drama out of fear of being serious with silly material. Even GotG, which has a bad of habit of doing that too, knows to turn that down every now and then.

In my opinion the main problem was that it still took itself too seriously. Really, I gave no fucks about whatever was happening at Aasgard and I just wanted to see more Thor, Hulk and Great Master shenanigans. All in all it felt as if the director wanted to do a silly comedy and the Marvel suits begged him to add muh epicness.

I press twice because on f-list it's easier to separate paragraphs visually with a double space since they don't have indentations.

The tone is off because marvel doesn't hire writers or directors worth any kind of shit

I honestly can't decide if that's equivalent or even worse.

It's the jokes ruining really serious situations.

The conversation joke, when Thor was hanging on that chain, I was like "Oh god I hope the whole movie won't be like that." And later, his space sidekicks are comedic reliefs on cringe/ Portal levels. Humor for autists who keep shouting the worst jokes because all other jokes are too deep. It's the spider pig demographic.

But overall, the movie was way more entertaining and unique in style compared to the other Thor movies. And Marvel should use more awesome classic rock, but they barely do, even when Iron Man shows up.

It made me wish I could fast forward through the Planet Hulk bits, which I thought was impossible.

Seriously, Waitawhatshisface somehow managed to make the entire Sakaar section so unbearably boring that I actually ended up falling asleep and missed about three quarters of the movie. Considering how shit the rest of it was, I kinda wished I'd stayed asleep until the end.

The entire film was "SUPER SERIOUS FEEL THIS MOMENT" and someone dropping a joke either during or after and it falling flat every single time. The worst I remember is the ending with the fucking "oh it could be worse you can rebuild" and then the planet explodes and the gladiator makes another jokes. A fucking planet just exploded after most of the people on it died or barely escaped. You need better comedy to lighten that fucking mood then something that'd be rejected out of hand by any sane writer as being too fucking obvious and retarded.

I liked Korg.

Valkyrie would not have been that bad if it was her who sacrificed herself to avenge other Valkyries and to redeem herself after abandoning Asgard. Instead, it is Karl Urban who does it, even though it makes little sense for the character, since he didn't do anything bad other than just hang around with the Villain for a bit.

The problem was it being a dumb movie with dumb jokes. The Surtur opening - minus the chain swinging - was more interesting than the GotG carbon copy they took the movie to, at least to me. Odin sat around in plain clothes acting like Jonathan Kent which felt extremely unfit for an All-Father, and the whole Ragnarok theme was treated very lightly when it is essentially the Norse version of Hamlet where a large portion of the Norse Gods - including Thor - die.

Amidst all of that they smattered a pile of sex and dick jokes (Devil's Anus, orgy ships, Hulk dick, bug egg/poop) so they could pretend they were mature and called it a day. Frankly I thought the whole film besides (ironically) Jeff Goldblum was an abortion.

You anons are both spot on. Not that the MCU has ever produced any cinematic masterpieces per se, but this was definitely the low point of everything they've put out.

The movie was pretty bad at overusing gags instead of tension or cool moments.

One scene that especially bothered me was when Thor covered his eyes at seeing hulk naked, it goes against his characterization for a couple of laughs. He's supposed to be some sort of jock (and he's like 1000 years old), I'm sure he's seen his share. He should have just taken it in stride. A surprised blink or two would've been enough to be both funny and keep his character consistent.

I did enjoy the movie though. Great visuals and there were cool moments (and some good humour). Ruffalo can't act at all, but it didn't bother me too much, it was supposed to be cheesy i think

Fucking this. Thor being full of himself and beating the shit out of bad guys? Great. That's what the whole movie should have been. That's what I thought I was going to get instead of a worse GotG.

The movie trips itself up by constantly needing to put in some kind of joke or awkward moment. Like you said, had they not barraged the audience with awkward dialog and bumbling clumsiness and sit-com style humor that just needed a laugh track to complete the illusion, some of the moments would have been genuinely funny. Instead, you can't have a single scene that doesn't have some kind of quip or gag. You can't have Bruce Banner making the most serious sacrifice of his entire life, possibly never un-hulking forever, without him falling flat on his face and then going Hulk off screen, because that's somehow better than having a goddamned serious moment.

The thor movies are the worst marvel movies, hemsworth is a decent enough actor.
