I Watch Films: Thor: Ragnarok
Okay, for myself I have nothing much new to say here. Thor has grown up a bit, has figured out how to trick people, learning from Loki, able to predict when and where he will betray people. Loki hasn’t and is just the Marvel Universe’s most interestingly dickish character (until the third act).
This growing up leads to Thor realising that when his home, an Imperial power, is taken over by a tyrant, the only thing left to do is burn it down.
There’s a handful of good Ragnarok jokes. They keep threatening a Heimdall/Fenris fight, and then, no it’s the Hulk. Always bring the Hulk into Ragnarok. Hulk as comic relief? Loki, Thor and Hulk all pass off the comedy ball at various times.
Watch This: For superhero shenanigans and a couple of sub-plots about abdicating imperialism, bundled in a Jack-Kirby-space-opera inspired visual aesthetic.
Don’t Watch This: If the Hulk punching things is not amusing to you.
