| Lopen 02/19/21 2:55:10 PM #63: | Strong disagree. A villain that isn't super serious would ruin the movie for me. This is why she's a huge contrast from Rita Repulsa who is never a credible threat to begin with. You need stakes somewhere. That's what she's there for. If she is done in a more boring way you basically get Ronan the Accuser who is such a nothing part of the appeal of GotG. If she is done in a less serious way you get Ultron again. She basically perfectly threads the needle between being serious and having charisma, something only Loki (who is cleanly ahead of Hela as a villain don't get me wrong) and at an extreme stretch Ego have been able to do in the MCU really. Obidiah, Thanos, Vulture, Killmonger and Alexander Pierce work well on the pure serious end but I don't think they fit the tone of Ragnarok well. She reminds me more of a Chong Li from the Van Damme classic Bloodsport than a Rita Repulsa. Like yes, similarly to Ragnarok, the movie itself is ridiculous and Bolo overacts the hell out of what he's doing, but Chong Li straight up murders people and is not presented as a joke at any point. --- No problem!
