Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

[YLu]

Comparing the two latest Thor movies, I'd say Love and Thunder's serious parts were more serious than Ragnarok's but also much less well-executed.

Kevin Bacon was Sebastian Shaw.
Is First Class multiverse canon now, or not?

Sure, why not?

What about Ragnarok's serious portions did you think was well-executed? As I've said, I feel the opposite was the case.

That's your excuse? Or reason? Do you expect me to just accept this? Because I don't. What? I'm only supposed to post positive comments about a movie? Or automatically agree with the dominant opinion? Because I refuse to go with the crowd. And by the way, I had typed some positive comments about "The Eternals" in an earlier post.

I was just responding to your question. You asked, and I assumed that your question was not rhetorical.

I haven't seen it since it came out in theaters. I remember thinking the scene of Odin and his sons was quite characterful, in a subdued way. Same with the other heartfelt parts of Thor/Loki interaction. Valkyrie's angst...

Maybe it's less what Ragnarok did well and what I felt its sequel did badly. To me, the emotional beats in Love and Thunder felt by the numbers, checklist-like. Hemsworth and Portman never sold being a couple truly in love, in the way Hemsworth and Huddlestone truly felt like a contentious sibling dynamic. It came off more as an informed attribute. Gorr''s turn didn't feel organic, there because the plot needed it and not because it was a natural outgrowth.

Hmm, those parts worked okay, as far as I can remember. There was so much else that just didn't land, though.

More proof that these things are subjective. All of that worked for me. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity, though.

Well, so much for Kamala's dad. I wonder if they'll recast or kill him off?

Love the trailer and love the poster! Not much in the way of Kraglin or Cosmo love in the trailer, but at least they're both in the poster.

 

[FPAlpha]

Aweseome trailer - funny but also bittersweet. Seems like the Guardians are in it for a rough time on a very personal level.

Boy, they are really putting the tear ducts under a stress test now. A friend of mine will surely cry her eyes out over this.

Perhaps this is the last Guardians film.

 

[Anwar]

Perhaps this is the last Guardians film.

For this incarnation, yes it is.

And a trailer

Yeah, that did nothing for me save for the last little bit. The last Guardians movie was such a heart breaking ending that I'm good without any more heartbreak now.

Plus I have no idea what the film is about.

 

[Morpheus 02]

So did I see a Star Trek insignia on Drax in that last scene??

 

[Tuskin38]

Perhaps this is the last Guardians film.

At the very least, Gunn has said it is his last Guardians film.

 

[Mage]

Perhaps this is the last Guardians film.

Like The Avengers, the Guardians have never been a set team. So yes, as we know them, this IS the last Guardians movie. James Gunn has stated this a long time ago. Doesn't mean Disnip won't be greedy enough to keep on cashing in,

 

[kirk55555]

Its not greedy to not just abandon fan favorite characters because a director/writer is moving on. Depending on what Guardians survive/actors still want to keep going, there are a bunch of things they could do with the premise of GotG, and many different versions of the team that could come about even if every current member goes away (which I doubt will happen, especially with the CG characters).

 

[Awesome Possum]

At the very least, Gunn has said it is his last Guardians film.

He's also said it was the last Guardians movie with this particular lineup leaving it up for more movies with a different team lineup.
