Official THOR: RAGNAROK Thread

Great and entertaining movie. Taika Waititi Did a great job with this imo. Good balance of action, drama and comedy. Easily the best Thor movie.

I think the two of you are ignoring the people who don't care enough to research but might see the most well known character in the world in a commercial and say "that looks interesting". Those are the movie goers that you miss out on by hiding well known characters that are in your movie in your advertising. Whether that alone is enough to affect box office, I can't say but why not just put it out there and maximize your profits.

If they put Superman front and center in all the ads for the movie, realistically how much more do you think it would do at the box office? Keep in mind "Wonder Woman" not only did $250 million more than "Man Of Steel", it's also a critical hit unlike that movie. Which is why the promo focused on her.

I honestly can't say, all I'm saying is that it makes no sense to not feature a character in your advertising when they are one of the most recognizable characters in history. Worst case scenario, you get minor complaints that something should have been a surprise.

On the point that Wonder Woman was front and center in the ad campaign I don't think that she was, at least not any more so than the rest of the cast. I can't remember her having 1 line in costume in any of the trailers or commercials I saw.

She's the very first JL member seen (and the first person you heard) in the Comic-Con trailer, which is when promo for the movie ramped up last summer.

Just got back from seeing this, and this was the best in the Thor Series. And it had some hilarious moments Marvel killing it as usual

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

It was the best Thor movie but I still didn't like it

Thor just sucks to me.. the movie had more comedy than GOTG and Spiderman homecoming combined which is not a good thing although I laughed a few times

I hope they take a darker turn on Avenger 3

So far my top MCU movies are
Spiderman
Dr Strange
Winter Soldier
Iron Man
GOTG

For all those people crying about how they wished the Hulk's appearance was a surprise, one of the reasons Justice League under-performed, is due to them hiding Superman in the marketing.

The reason they hid Superman was because of their mistake of not hiding Wonder Woman in BvS trailer.

And that "mistake" worked wonders for BvS but that "correction" may have called JL about $15-30M opening weekend

Ragnarok is a pretty serious and dramatic event...lol

A balance of the two is needed. I loved the movie but they could've held back on some of the humor.

I thought the humor was great because a lot of it was situational like in the beginning when thor went thru the bi frost and the monsters head slid and the eyes rolled back then scourge saying he needs to announce and he just flew away then ya man hit a struggle trot down the bridge

random thought - did anyone keep the streak alive and lose an arm in this movie? or did they sub that out for an eye? Pretty sure there has been arm loss in every MCU movie
