When the movies revere Kirby more than the actual comic division.

Both the MCU and DC Comics were doing things for Kirby's 100th anniversary to the point that some normies actually became aware of who he was.
Marvel Comics just did those shitty variants and called it a day.

Thor Ragnarok is literally Jack Kirby: The Movie.
I haven't been excited for a superhero movie in about 3 years but I'm looking forward to this one. The choice of director got me interested and the Kirby stuff is always good to see.

They also thanked Abnett and Lanning in the GotG vol 2.
Goddamn that must of been awkward.
It's a "love letter" to Kirby that isn't based on any of his stories, shoehorns in the Hulk (a mostly Stan Lee character) and a Hulk storyline from the mid-00's, is based more on stories from the Simonson era and made Thor look about as far from Kirby's design as physically possible.
But there are some armor designs that look vaguely Kirby-esque so it's totally a "love letter" just to him.
Somebody please call me when we get even one Kirby panel or splash page on the big screen and not this stupid "look it's got some weird lines on it therefore it's a Kirby design" shit, because until then I'm going to ignore all the massive amounts of smoke being blown up Kirby's dead ass.

Personally, for me, I enjoy when I get love letters that get everything I ever did wrong.
Thanks, Feige.

In its tone and spectacle it is Kirbyesque.
Movies adapt from multiple sources so it can't be a literal Kirby adaptation.

I'll believe that when I see it. It looks like it has the same jokey action comedy tone of GotG and Avengers, which is not Kirby-esque.
Nothing in the trailers echoes anything Kirby has ever written. Not visually, not in terms of story, not in terms of dialogue.

It has Kirby artwork in the Grandmaster's viewing room in the coliseum.
If they wanted to do something to celebrate Jack Kirby they could easily do a self contained devil dinosaur movie. It would be hard to fuck it up.

The mural in the back ground is kirby art.

Sure thing, Kevin.

OK, and? They blew up a splash page into a mural? It would be cool if the environment itself looked like that instead of just as an easter egg painted onto a backdrop.

New Gods was meh.
