If we aren't being totally harsh on the movie, I have to say my favorite part is that black-and-white sequence toward the end featuring Marilyn Monroe, where you can't even tell if she’s dreaming or awake—it’s a legit horror scene.

It’s pretty wild how much overlap there is between the biggest pop culture icons from what people call the Golden Age of Hollywood, like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe: just these incredibly beautiful, sexualized young people being pushed by older men on drugs to give "just one more performance," which basically leads to them dying way too young.

I honestly don't know what they were trying to pull with this movie, other than making sure nobody would want to spend even a single second in a room with Marilyn Monroe. I mean, you'd probably rather just sit there and grab a heavy drink with Bill Cosby

Aura had someone like Mata Hari too

Is Danny Boy going to be in the movie?

It honestly gives me the creeps whenever I see the phrase "New World Order" used like that, especially when it's being applied to something as incredibly mainstream as this.

It’s just like how people used to react to Westerns or those big historical and biblical epics back in the day. People just get bored of them. They watch one, and suddenly they feel like they've seen every movie ever made.

They’re going to need some kind of miracle if they want to touch the box office numbers from Ragnarok.

Gregory Brown94 said:Eternals isn't really a flop in that sense; I feel like if a Marvel movie doesn't pull in billions, you guys just label it a failure immediately. And speaking of Thor The Four, Taika went way too far, and honestly, Feige should probably move on from him in the MCU right away. Klovan is the director.

That has nothing to do with the budget or how much money it made.
The plot was terrible, the pacing felt like a lullaby, the jokes were pure cringe, and the acting was just wooden.
Honestly, I feel like a war veteran whenever those flashbacks from that movie pop up in my head. 🐔

This movie is pretty polarizing. On one hand, you’ve got some really solid dramatic beats, but on the other, there are these incredibly stupid, thin plot points that feel like they were just forced in with cheap, grating humor.
It’s weaker than Ragnarok, and probably even weaker than the original Thor, but it’s definitely better than that total snooze-fest of a sequel.

Jess, Thor is basically an absolute powerhouse now, which is how he should be, though I guess the sorcerers and witches still have him beat.

Look, I’ll just say this once so I don't have to repeat myself: if you're going to clog up the reviews with misogyny, homophobia, or racism after watching this movie, then just don't watch it. Seriously. If you've got a problem with any of those topics, stay home.

Is Hollywood trying to lecture us again? 🤦
I mean, god, if I actually wanted an education, I’d sit through some boring documentary instead of a supposedly "unserious" sci-fi action flick.

Like, when I'm watching The Shawshank Redemption, I'm not sitting there thinking, "Oh my god, Morgan Freeman is Black." 😲 🙏

7. It's like having the flu constantly. Your body just isn't working right, yet you still try to do all the stuff you used to do, but you just can't.

That's probably the most accurate way to describe this thing.
There are plenty of other really unpleasant symptoms too, but this one is the big one for me, I guess.

wiredcyclist18 said:Like someone already pointed out, you're drinking way too much of that incel YouTuber Kool-Aid. Just admit you're bothered by seeing women in positions of power. Sorry, but neither I nor probably 70% of Marvel fans WANT to sit through twenty movies featuring the exact same hero. They retired Iron Man, now Spider-Man's taking over. They retired Captain America, now we've got Falcon and Winter Soldier. It's time to retire Thor too, and he'll be succeeded by THE MIGHTY THOR—and strangely enough, I don't see any "-woman" attached to that name...

Oh, and by the way, you guys clearly haven't heard that Valkyrie has been confirmed as bisexual and they're actually going to touch on that in the movie... I honestly can't wait to watch your little incel meltdowns hit the internet this July.☕☕☕

Seriously, does anyone here actually know how to read?
Are you trying to tell me Black Widow isn't in a position of power?
What about Gamora?
Or Storm?
God, give me a break.😵

It's time to retire Thor, and he's being succeeded by THE MIGHTY THOR—I don't see a "woman" anywhere in that.

Either he didn't read what was written, or he's taking everything literally, but somehow reading what's actually on the screen is just too much work for him.
She literally took his name.😵
It’s not Mighty Jane, it’s not Thunder Jane, it’s Thor—the well-known superhero.
Just another easy way to hijack all the superhero glory without doing any of the actual heavy lifting.

dustyfalcon122 said:Look, no superhero is truly "original." Every single one is just a remix of ancient myths, most of which were first written down in Ancient Greece. The point is, the world was centered entirely around male action until pretty much now, so we ended up with mostly male heroes being recycled all the way from those old legends to Iron Man or Spider-Man. A female Thor or a female Spider-Man isn't any less original than the guys, and it's definitely not like the male heroes "built their own fame" from scratch.

Can you give me an example of Spider-Man in Greek mythology? Or Jewish? Egyptian? Sumerian?
Maybe Spider-Woman? 🍿

Good grief. 🤣I guess I just assumed Marvel had their own cheap knockoff version of a DC icon, kind of like how they basically ripped off Deathstroke to make Deadpool.

dustyfalcon122 said:Wow, what a load of absolute nonsense. This is honestly painful to read.
You’re just parroting YouTube propaganda like a parrot.
Nothing in this world is truly "original," not even a superhero like Thor.
The idea that male superheroes are somehow "original" while female ones aren't is easily the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard from those YouTube whiners, and now these brainless parrots are just repeating it everywhere they go.

This woman isn't replacing Thor; the entire plot of the movie is that she was granted Thor's powers, which is written right there on the hammer.

Did I just go ahead and list the actual heroines in my last sentence? I guess. Maybe. 🙏
That’s how you build a legitimate female superhero arc. You don't do it by just slapping some anatomical nonsense or unnecessary cleavage onto a suit designed for the male gaze. It shouldn't be about that.

Honestly, just thinking about names like Wonder Man or Cat Man makes me cringe. It sounds so incredibly stupid. I guess if you flipped the script on those roles, people would just call them hacks and total rip-offs. Maybe.

Especially if they actually kill him off—you know, that "There WAS a god" trope—just to swap him out for some female version. If that happens, I think I'm officially done with Marvel for good...[/I]

I mean, imagine having an ego so fragile that a woman being in the lead actually bothers you.

The movie looks incredible, though. Thank God Taika managed to breathe some life back into the franchise, because if they’d just kept riding that first Thor and Thor: Dark World vibe, nobody would have given a damn about him anymore...

What bothers me is when a woman just takes over someone else's role instead of carving out her own path.
The hammer is there, the uniform is there—great, everything's ready, all we need now is a red carpet.

The whole thing about Spider-Man or Iron Man is that they built their own reputations—they actually made the tech, designed the suits, studied the science themselves.

It’s not that I think women can’t be heroes, it’s more that I wish they’d be original and actually try to make a name for themselves instead of just slapping a "-woman" suffix onto a superhero title.
Like Natasha Romanoff, Storm, Valkyrie, or Gamora, for example.

New trailer

This honestly doesn't look good.
And if they go ahead and kill him off—since it says there WAS a god now—just to swap him out for some female version, I guess I'm officially done with Marvel.

That’s basically how they handled the sixth one, too. The movie was still being filmed while Cruise was out there pitching the trailer on some late-night talk show. But, I guess, that one was actually worth the wait.

I really hope the eighth one is the last Mission: Impossible for good. Honestly, this is the first trailer where watching Cruise just makes me feel uneasy.

We'll just have to wait and see, damn it 😁
