Why does it have this totally unfitting 80's retro

Why are you a bitch

Guardians of the Galaxy.

>>85603173
So the guardians of the galaxy don't seem too out of place when they appear

>>85603173
Because that's when movies were fun and we didn't sit around like autists deconstructing them.

>>85603173
Because space is groovy.

The 80s rule who gives a shit

Because this looked too serious

because the thor movies were pretty bland, gotg has been a massive success, and thor already being from space gives them the freedom to take it in whatever direction they want more easily than any of their other established characters.

if you couldn't work that out for yourself I don't know what to tell you faggot

The same reason the Venom movie, Amy Pascal and Sony have a unfitting existence.

>>85603173
Have you never seen Jack Kirby's shit? It's trippy as hell.

>>85603173
Because the desperation is starting to set in. They peaked too early and we're witnessing the beginnings of the downward turn. The pandering and nostalgia appeals will ramp up while the film quality continues to drop.

>>85603173
We're in the drivecore vibe. Thanks to Drive, It Follows, X-Men Apoclypse and Atomic Blonde.

>>85603173
The 80s was basically ragnarok

>>85603217
FUCK. REKT

Guardians of Galaxy made tons of bucks so of course Disney will reduce Thor and Hulk to GoTG Lite.

But hey it's not like Whedon already didn't ruin Hulk beyond repair in AoU.

Because nobody liked any Thor movie.

The oirignal plan was to make a good follow up to Thor, but since Guardians of the Cucks makes so much money, they decided to turn Thor into GotG, so now everything from tone, set designs, script(the 3 post-it notes that was the script) and logo are directly taken out from the Marvel equivalent of the Emoji movie.

>>85603431
GoTG is trash. Say what you want about the Russos but atleast they keep quips to a minimum and actually put in an effort to make their heroes look plausible.

Fuck Gunn.

millenials want to feel part of something that they had no part of

>>85603173
From what little I know of capeshit, that colorful look is actually closer in style to the original comics.

>>85603217
fpbp

>>85603173
People liked Guardians of the Galaxy so now every movie they make is GotG-Lite
It's the same reason that most of their main characters are essentially Tony Stark being played by a different actor in a different outfit

>>85603173

Having seen the first two Thor movies this new direction is badly needed. I would have skipped it totally if it looked like Thor the Dark World. The most dreadful and bland of all the Marvel movies.

>>85603467
>GoTG is trash

This is factually incorrect.

I absolutely love it. I'm beyond excited, it feels like 80s Thor comics mixed with a but of 5th element and gotg. I'm stupid giddy about skurge.

this is what I'm most excited for this year, infinity war hasn't gotten me stoked at all but imma bust a nut on ragnorak. I do think it is funny that then first two Thor movies were a pile of meh, this shit feels like it will be amazing.

exactly! and well if you read some Thor comics back in the day you'd recognize skurge and maybe even what panel of the comic they were recreating.

I literally squealed when I saw it on the first immigrant song trailer. then raged like an artist when no one else on YouTube that claimed to he a nerd even mentioned him. full on catcher in the rye ranting against the fakers.

As opposed to what?

>>85607859
Did you read the text?

Why is a movie centering on a Norse god, featuring a prophecy from Norse mythology and a Norse goddess of Hel alluding to a Hindu goddess?

Tell me it's part of the story. I fucking dare you.

>>85608201
>A movie's poster featuring the goddess of death, made a reference to another cultures goddess of death
Damn...I just don't know how to take this

>>85608201
Because it looks cool and people understand the reference, as opposed to Norse iconography which nobody would get because it's a dead religion. And what does the text have to do with it? Did Marvel write that?

wasnt the ragnorok storyline came out in the 80s

>>85603173
Because ironic retro hipster culture has become mainstream thanks to unironic numales who try to out-geek each other on Reddit.

>>85608473
This.

Here's my guess: it'll be funny, the visuals will look nice, and Hulk will be a fan favorite.
On the other hand, I'm also calling that it'll have next to no character development for Thor, definitely none for Loki, Hela will be underused, Skurge's last stand will have absolutely none of the tension and pathos that he had in the comics, and the soundtrack will be conpletely forgettable.

>>85608201
This is the same movie with a black Norse god

>>85603173
Because it's Hella. Fucking. Epic!

Because infinity war starts off with thor meeting the guardians, so they want the style to match

Because this is reddit, this is memes.

>>85608504
The entire movie will be forgettable just like all the other Marvel films.

>>85608730
Advertising is not OK in any form under any circumstances. Why are you so upset about this poster though?

I expect Marvel to rip off their own content and drop the ball as usual on story and character development. You can not watch this and wait until Infinity War

>>85606647
Kek probably this Isnt even in the movie...like the spiderman and Iron man flying in together in the homecoming trailer

>>85608721
Seems like her mom already got BLEACHED.

>>85603467
This, writing "This is funny because of the one TV show! Remember? Remember? Lol rofl XD! I'm mentally challenged and also found TBBT funny lol!" stuff is fucking easy and every retard can do this, the first GotG has unbelievable bad written and his characters define themselves through quips. The Russos may direct metallic realistic looking movies, but at least they do an effort let them characters not look like quipping zero personalities. They made fucking Captain America the best written character in the entire Franchise for christ sake. Put the super heroes out of Winter Soldier and Civil War and you still have extremely well written spy thriller.

>>85606362
I hope that art style is carried well into the film. Looks like a medieval oil painting.

>>85603471

>>85608803
Because they're pandering to the Indian market with shit like that. They did it with Spider-Twink, too.

I have absolutely nothing against India(nobody ever designated my street), but to so blatantly pander to a foreign audience with one culture's mythological figures and another culture's comic books, it's just shitty, cynical, and to be honest with you, proof-positive of how little Disney gives a shit about their core audience these days.

>>85608201

What are you complaining about? Nobody understands kiddo. How does this make them desperate?

>>85609325
You're massively overthinking this. That's not pandering to Hindus any more than every single TV show and movie using the last supper imagery is pandering to Christians, it's just marketing using a distinctive style that you can recognise. If anything this is better than those because it actually has a bearing on the content of it, as >>85608365 was implying.

>>85609438
So you're saying that Hela is also Kali or somehow inspired belief in her?

How exactly does that work?

>>85603287
it's because that was the motif for Thor 1 and 2. its dull and boring. IMO the thor movies are the worst marvel makes. Ragnarok will probably be even worse

>>85605969

>>85609526
In case you needed to be btfo directly:
>Scholarly theories have been proposed about Hel's potential connections to figures appearing in the 11th century Old English Gospel of Nicodemus and Old Norse Bartholomeus saga postola, that she may have been considered a goddess with potential Indo-European parallels in Bhavani, Kali, and Mahakali or that Hel may have become a being only as a late personification of the location of the same name.

And therein lies the problem. Remember - the Asgardians in this movie *aren't* the Norse gods, remember? They "inspired" worship from the Norsemen when they came to repel the Jotunn incursion they talked about back in the first movie.

What that means is that by some remarkable coincidence, they happen to share names, lineages, and prophecies handed down and evolved over the course of human history and migration, but to have never been a part of it. That means Hela just happens to share the root of her name with a far more ancient Proto-Indo-European deity. For no fucking reason at all.

Either that, or now you're into the clusterfuck of having Asgardiums responsible for inspiring Hinduism as well.

Or, it's all just empty symbolism that looks cool that has fuck-all to do with the story, and designed to pander to a market that at best only has the most tenuous connections to any of the mythology.

That's my point. Is your argument that in the MCU Asgardians inspired both Norse mythology *and* Hinduism? Because that's what you're implying when you link them back through Proto-Indo-European etymology.

For the record, I don't think that's what they're going for at all, just what their shit world-building is implying if they intend to make that an element of the story, which they don't, which brings us right back around full to circle to what it really is:

No, Kirby built pretty much the entirety of the the MCU cosmology when it came to gods, demons, etc. They were actual gods, every last one of them born of the Elder gods.

For instance, Thor, in the comics, is the son of Odin and the Earth goddess Gaia, and that tracks all the way back to the 70s.

>>85610556
>That's my point. Is your argument that in the MCU Asgardians inspired both Norse mythology *and* Hinduism?

Thor deals in a lot of sci-fi stuff and was a very popular comic in the 80s. It's fitting.

Also, I think this movie will do a LOT better than people are thinking it will do right now. The tight running time is going to help it tremendously. It will be compared to Dredd (except it will actually make money in the box office).

Then go ahead and establish it, then. I could scan you my old "Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe" entry about gods and such if I felt like it.

You're the one asserting that they've always been aliens, and I'm the guy who read Thor's first comics appearance, so I'm inclined to go with my memories.

Seriously this thread is something special

Thread should've ended here
spess = 80s is a Marvel theme now
And Taika's a huge nostalgiafag so much so that Boy was basically about him growing up in the 80s

>Jew/Maori genes make you a handsome Chad
Wtf

Poo here
I didn't know it was referring to Kali until I saw that pic being spammed here
Honestly I think it's a stretch to even call it an allusion since I always associated a dark blue with Kali and the palette in that poster is all over the place

the guy who did What We Do in the Shadows is directing Thor? I think I'll see it now

>>85606063
im pretty sure there was an exactly similar scene at the beginning of GotG2

>>85615644
Err, no

>>85616096
umm... did you actually just... did you.. did you literally... ughhh... can you NOT... Could you just... err... ugh.

>>85615644

Yup. The slow-mo scene of Drax jumping just like that into that tentacle-monster's mouth.

The big difference here is that this scene with Hulk happens at the end of the movie. Not the beginning.

Mocap suits aren't comfy enough to allow genuine quipping.

wait, it came out yesterday?

Why are they still sucking the 80s' dick? Didn't the 80s revival already happen in the 2000s? Isn't it supposed to be a 20 year cycle and we're in the le 90s revival now (see all those Buzzfeed listicles and movie reboots)?

90s movies sucked so you're stuck with reviving TV shows.

MST3K came back. Not sure anyone cared.

Power Rangers the movie adaptation bombed I think.

Beavis and Butthead came back a few years ago and bombed.

Baywatch movie adaptation did okay. Guess that's getting a sequel.

That's about it, right? Unless we're gonna get Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Law and Order, NYPD Blue, and 90210 movies.

Forgot that there was one good 90s movie, Jurassic Park and they did revive it as the awful clone Jurassic World already.

The other big 90s movie revival was Independence Day Resurgence and that bombed big time. Thankfully righting the wrong that was done when the first movie succeeded.

>Why this movie about a talking raccoon and a giant autistic tree is not "dark and serious"?

>>85606063
Comic nerds out there, how does the Hulk survive fire?
And also, can he drown?

>>85618323
No and no. Hulk has regeneration even stronger than Wolverine's.

>>85605922
I have the same hawaian shirt. I'm totally getting the shorts.

>>85606063
By fire be purged.

>>85618476
I don't think it's a shirt and shorts, I'm pretty sure it's one of those male rompers.

he heals faster than he burns so all it does is make him angrier. fun fact, Hulk one time got his belly sliced open by adamantium claws and had his guts spill out, his stomach healed around his hand as he was pushing them back in so he had to pull his own hand out of his stomach
