Random but, does anyone feel like Asgard kind of shrunk throughout the entire Thor saga? In the 1st movie it felt like an entire colossal floating flat continent/planet. By Ragnarok it felt like a small island in the cosmos.

Actually, come to think of it, what even are the Nine Realms? Are they just 9 random planets that happen to be under Asgardian jurisdiction, or are they alternate planes?

I could never get into the idea of Asgard from the very beginning. So it's a bunch of randos who wander around in robes and a couple of superheroes are in charge because... why? What's everybody else do? Aren't there loads of y'know gods in Asgard? Thor had his buddies for like five minutes but they dropped that shit to focus on giving Chris Hemsworth more screentime.

My assumption was that they were just effectively serfdoms that Odin ruled over. They had no real purpose or importance to anything, just different chunks of an overall Asguardian kingdom. iirc in the first Thor movie they said they would travel all across them at will for recreational reasons.

I'm not terribly familiar with the Thor comics, so if they have any more significance in the source material, I'm ignorant of it.
 
The second Ghost Rider can be added to the "Marvel films where a side character is a MacGuffin that must be protected" list.

Apparently they’re changing Namor’s baskstory and everything so people “don’t confuse him with Aquaman”.

I don't know what is more pathetic: that Namor's backstory was changed so that he is no longer from Atlantis because two characters with equal origins but from different companies "would complicate the understanding of the audience" or that there might just be some normie who, had the change not happen, would see Namor and think, "Durr, wasn't he played by the guy from Game of Thrones?"

It looks stunning, but it feels like it lacks substance and the quips/jokes feel all the more stale now. Including Whor didn't help either.

What the fuck is this design. I'm sure Bale will turn in a great performance, but Gorr looks fucking terrible compared to the comics.

Uhhhh...hate to break it to Disney but that sounds exactly like Aquaman but instead of being a Pacific Islander he's Mexican.

Did they not even watch the trailer for that movie?

So... I guess DC changed Aquaman from a blond white guy to a Pacific Islander because they didn't want audiences to confuse Aquaman with Aquaman?

And the end of the movie will either have a dead or retired for good Thor, making Jane the new main Thor.
I am REALLY getting tired of replacing interesting characters with boring diversity checkmarks.
 
I use to wonder why Tessa Thompson was cast as Valkyrie and upgraded to being the "King" of Asgard until I saw the behind the scenes photos. I wanted Sif back with a major/leading lady role but I guess Jaimie Alexander doesn't play that way.

I was kind of excited, but hasn't Thor been through enough "finding himself" arcs? He's lost Mjolnir, he's been fat AF, he had to prove to his father that he was worthy (or something like that) and now he's lost Mjolnir again. This time to Lady Thor, who I'm sure everyone guesses will be replacing him.
 
Please fucking kill me. I got way too many female family members who're going to fucking love Thor 3 only because Portman haves a vagina and Hemsworth doesn't.

That's been a basic problem with cosmic MCU in general. How do these planets interact with each other? What kinds of economies do they have? What is their military strength, tactics, and overall strategy? What are their politics and foreign policy? It doesn't really matter because whatever set they're on is to fulfill the plot at any given time. It's telling when the most fleshed out space civilization is the Planet Hulk gladiator planet in Thor 3. The MCU is too Earth-centric to really consider how cosmic Marvel see it. I see Earth as the Afghanistan of the galaxy; it's got the worst tech on average, but somehow it breaks giant empires that try to invade it.

The women in my family were pissed off when I told them about it. "Why the fuck would anyone want to look at a lady Thor?" was one of their exact words.
The only "women" that will enjoy this are twitter tards.
 
The MCU has really run out of plot but not momentum, so it's just fucking around with random stories that ultimately don't go anywhere. What's the through line on all this shit? Where is it going? Why should I care?

At least the ones younger than me would share that same opinion.

I stopped caring with Infinity War when they had everybody with an Infinity Stone jobbed to Thanos instead using the Stones to fight him. Imho Aldo Jones' Endgame Thanos smoking a blunt is the true ending to the MCU.

You would have thought that some sort of consequences for time travel or multiverse shit would have been coming, but they were seemingly taken care of in a fucking Disney+ show and a single doctor strange film.
