Topic	Board 8 Ranks: The Marvel Cinematic Universe (Phase III!)
Inviso 02/19/21 12:27:14 PM #19:	Lopen This is the peak of MCU comedy by far, lots of laugh out loud moments like Get Help and Hulk jumping on the bridge. Just so much stuff that hits home here-- I mean Jeff Goldblum as a mid-boss villain kinda says it all this is definitely more a comedy than anything. BUT in the middle of it all you have Hela (beautiful and terrible as the dawn!) who is is just legit and totally imposing which is a nice contrast to all the buffoonery when needed. MetalDK Interesting discussions on nationalism and moving on Sheep007 God, they made a third Thor movie? I hate Thor. I hate Thor, right? Not this Thor, because pre-Ragnarok Thor and post-Ragnarock Thor are just two completely different characters with the same backstory. One is likeable with a sense of humour and a lot of things he has to go through or that get changed, while the other has two modes: buffoon or angry. Im so glad this new Thor was carried over into Infinity War, because it just makes everything much better. The colour scheme is fabulous, Jeff Goldblum is great, as are the other antagonists (theyre underdeveloped, but underdeveloped and fun as hell is so many steps above lots of other villains). I love Tessa Thompson, I love that it is paced so well theres not a moment of boredom, I love that it manages to take a fun and actiony film slowly when it needs to, I love the creative fights, I love Loki (as always) and I think Bruce and Thor was a great combination which won me over. Hell, I would have been fine with an entire movie of just this Thor pissing around on random planets, maybe with Loki thrown in, but adding so many fun characters in takes it up another notch. They moved the story away from Asgard for the most part, which I was incredibly thankful for given how much I hated the setting, and somehow managed to turn my least favourite of the original Avengers into possibly my favourite. Ragnarok is fun and funny as hell too, par for the course for Waititi. I didnt even gush about Loki yet. Loki is the best and now he has other good characters in his movies, I dont have to just forward them til I get to his scenes! I think this is the best the MCU has to offer, in terms of pure enjoyment and fun (although you may notice this isnt quite at the top!). Whiskey Nick (No write-up.) Inviso Its amazing to me that the writers of this movie took a character whopotential spoilers for my rankingwas not the most interesting personality among the MCU prior to Ragnarokand they took him and made him part of an absolutely hilarious film overall. Taika Waititi is just a great director in that regard, it seems. Honestly, Ragnarok is one of the funniest films in the MCU, yet it doesnt feel like a movie thats just TRYING to be funny and lacks purpose. The fact that the villainHela, one of the best MCU villainsis the goddess of death, immediately adds some intensity and gravitas to the events of the plot. Its hard to describe, but it just feels like the cast finally gels together as personalities, and you just have some witty personalities shining through. Even the dynamic with Thor and Hela is a great microcosm of brother/sister relationships. And I have to say that I love the fact that yes, you have a bigger, world-destroying story going on, but the biggest chunk of the movie is just Thor and Hulk and Loki dicking around on a coliseum planet. Its great to have a little side story like that, rather than EVERYTHING needing to be the most important event in the history of the universe. ZenOfThunder Guardians but with Thor. Thor kinda sucks but Guardians is great so it events out Red13n First off, yes there is an argument to be made that this movie turned Thor into another GotG movie, but no, that doesn't make this movie any less fun. Thor seemed like a dead franchise. Thor was already an iffy property on his first adventure, and the second cemented him as boring serious hammer guy. The character had no life, we didn't care about his journey because he'd just make it boring. And he'd have a bunch of bland earth companions that we just wanted him to smash with his hammer. But we've thrown that out, staying mostly in space, keeping a much more lighthearted feel, and embracing the awesome character that is MCU Loki. This is everything you wouldn't have expected after The Dark World, and it makes for a fantastic watch. Weak villain though. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier.
