Watched Thor: Ragnarok. From the clips, I thought it'd be a great movie... but I didn't appreciate that the clips basically were the movie. That shit jumped from place to place to place like crazy for the first half. (And the Dr. Strange scene made me remember I still really need to watch that... and then some of the Hulk stuff reminded me I need to see Avengers 2 still... and there were some Thor 2 spoilers in there which I also haven't seen. Basically I spoiled a lot of shit for myself. Also, speaking of spoiling, I had seen at least part of many of the film's pivotal moments beforehand -- well, mostly the fight scenes.)

Still, better to be fast-moving, action-y, almost incoherent than dull and this was a lot more fun than Thor 1. Just wish that a lot of it didn't feel so rushed.

Also I was surprised that, for the most part, the comic (meaning humorous in this context) inversion of badass moments was often funny despite being heavily overused. Even the scene where Thor throws a ball at the window intending to break it and it just nails him in the head still got a mild chuckle out of me. (Although Valkyrie falling off the bridge during her first appearance didn't, but probably because I'm used to those kind of pratfalls from both the Pirates of the Caribbean films and from having seen rom-coms over the years)

In other news, and I'm not sure how I missed learning this until now (unless I forget it), Disney Infinity was apparently discontinued in 2016. Was kinda wondering about that for a while now. Still haven't played the games (bought 2nd and 3rd) but I kinda liked the style of some of the figurines, particularly when they got into Marvel and Star Wars. Granted, the normal pricing was always excessive thanks to the game component. When I was seeing them for $5-8, it was kinda on par with Mystery Minis, etc.
