this is gonna be great
…it may even Ragna-Rock! (I’m sorry).
Here’s the teaser trailer for Thor: Ragnarok:
It’s not like the other Thor movies, and that’s okay. This one, in large part, I think due to director Taikia Waititi (seriously, go see What We Do In The Shadows to get a sense of his sensibility – it’s on amazon prime; I’ll wait), is going to embrace the comic-bookiness and camp of 70s and 80s Marvel, and it’s going to be amazing. Hemsworth has always had an easy charisma and had a surprising gift for comedy; it looks like we’re finally going to finally see a Thor movie take advantage of it (the last two were good, but not the phenomena the other “founding” series and GotG were), and I think we’re really in for a treat.
Plus, you know, they manage to work in the classic “Planet Hulk” storyline without making The Illuminati (or at least those of them currently in the MCU) look like dicks to do it.
Marvel films, while always including humor, have been a bit heavy lately (particularly Civil War); 2017, with this, GotG vol 2 and, I hope, Spider-Man: Homecoming, is going to be the year of the romp, and that’s totally okay.
