Craig H Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I don't think it's a spoiler to say that Sif isn't in the movie. She's not in the movie because of a scheduling conflict. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Ahhh guess I never saw that bit of news or forgot about it which probably did add to my enjoyment since I didn't know if Sif was gonna show up or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two Thor movies felt too small to properly be a story about gods who protect the 9 realms. Ragnarok felt properly big enough it was funny, it had heart, it was exciting. Loved Korg and Grandmaster they both were great for comic relief but didn't let that define them and they still felt like complete characters. Hela is probably one of the best MCU villains so far she felt like a threat Reveal hidden contents especially by killing the Warriors Three, which I was legit shocked that they took Volstagg and Fandral out so quickly, was glad Hogun got to have a heroic moment though. she looked very.....nice as well. The whole final battle was great and you really didn't know the fates of all the heroes which really added to the suspense. One question I had was Hide contents was there a reason Sif wasn't in the movie at all? I was waiting/dreading for confrontation between her and Hela which probably would have left Sif dead. Spoiler Just that they couldn't work out the schedule with Jaimie Alexander. I think there was a throwaway line about her being away on a mission or something.

Casey Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Lady Liberators movie with Gamora, Black Widow, Mantis, Nebula, Captain Marvel and Valkyrie (and maybe Scarlet Witch because she's in the comics team) would be fucking awesome and apparently Feige is open to the idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimie Alexander (Sif) had a scheduling conflict, but Marvel / Disney still has a good rapport with the actress and want her to reprise the role in the future. Sif's fate was deliberately left ambiguous unlike The Warriors Three (killed by Hela) or Jane Foster (she dumped Thor.... er... they dumped each other....)

Spoiler At least until we see what he does with the Tesseract that we know he stole from the Asgardian treasury before Surtr blew everything up. I'm sorta hoping he doesn't double turn and hand it over to Thanos in exchange for rulership of Midgard as per his original bargain with the Chitauri.

Casey Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Yeah, but Loki could be all, “hey Thanos, I have the tesseract in my possession this time and we’re face to face finally. Here ya go!” And then Thanos does something to him that makes the Hulk’s Puny God slams look like child’s play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Yes I fully expect that Loki is going to try something with Thanos like give him the Tesseract to get back on his good side only to have Thanos kill him dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I'm sorta hoping that they keep running with semi-reformed Loki rather than making Loki go through yet another heel turn. Thor will go into battle with his usual hubris and Loki knows that arrogant Thor will 100% underestimate Thanos's physical power and the Thunder God will get his Asgardian ass beat. However, Loki has a hubris of his own and he will try to save earth and the Asgardian refugees through charm and guile, but he will also underestimate Thanos's intellect and resolve and find out the hard way that being in possession of the Infinity Gauntlet means not having to negotiate with anyone..

Johnny Sorrow Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I think Infinity War will have lots of death, and Loki is going to go out heroically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 New look at how Avengers will appear in Avengers: Infinity War: Spider-Man's costume has grown on me. Doctor Strange's is one of the best comics to film translations you'll find. I like Iron Man's new armour a lot going by this and how Captain America's suit is from Captain America: Civil War (2016) minus the star on the chest and the sleeves rolled up. Not keen on Balack Widow's but approve the blonde hair, Scarlett Johansson's pretty, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, it's a lot like using "The Chain" twice in GotG2. Really good the first time, fucking great the second time you hear it. This was even better because it's "Immigrant Song" and way more badass stuff was happening at that point. So if you guys could pick a really badass song to be played twice in Infinity War, what would it be and what's the disappointing song we'd end up with? I still want a Beastie Boys song in one of these movies, specifically Paul Revere. I don't know how or where it fits in, but that's what I want. What we'll get is "War." Not saying "War is a bad song or anything, it's just overplayed in movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thor Ragnarok ruled. I feel like the big talking points are gonna be the same but two things: 1) This had all the emotional depth of the best Marvel movies without navel gazing about it. 2) They did Doctor Strange better in ten minutes than he got in his own film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if I fully agree with this, but the bit where he kept entering the frame from the opposite side of where he exited was a great, great visual bit.

EVA Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Cate Blanchett looks amazing as Hela and tries to salvage the character by vamping it up to 100 every moment she's on screen, but ultimately there's no saving Hela from the fact that she spends virtually every scene explaining who the fuck she is because they decided to pull such a significant character out of their ass in the 3rd movie with no prior buildup. Or the fact that all of her heel heat is built on massacring faceless extras and D-list characters no one cares about. (They wouldn't even let her get over on Odin, and he was dying anyway!) Anyway, it was an immensely entertaining movie, but you could tell Waititi was way more interested in the story on Sakaar, and all the business in Asgard was the stuff he was contractually obligated to do because it's a Thor movie. It was just ticking off boxes. Granted, most of the business in Asgard beyond Thor, Loki, and Odin has been pretty thin in all of these movies, which is why despite having 3 movies worth of buildup, Asgard doesn't feel like real, lived-in place (it honestly feels like a total of 3 sets, especially in this movie) with people you care about. And because of that, Hela's threat to it, and it's ultimate destruction, comes off pretty flat. I did like that this movie followed in the footsteps of DOCTOR STRANGE by coming up with a finish that was more clever than the hero bludgeoning the villain into submission or blasting them to bits.

TheVileOne Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 My biggest problem with Hela is that she just sort of pops up out of nowhere without much ceremony or introduction. I think it would've been more dramatic to have her kill Odin though, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
