I think Hemsworth said somewhere that he is not signed for another film right now. We know that he loves working with Waititi. I think if Marvel wants him back -- and they clearly do because they ended Love and Thunder with the "Thor will return" statement -- he might get more control over the...

I think it is very clear that Taika Waititi is just not interested in Sir or the other supporting characters from the first two films. This is another situation where I think you can blame the incongruity on two different teams. The Russos and Markus and McFeely were in charge of Endgame...

This is it exactly. There didn't seem to be anything new guiding the comedy, and you've zeroed in on a microcosm of the whole movie. The reenactment of Ragnarok offered nothing new because we had already seen them do the same thing with the enactment of The Dark World. For me, the scene where...

I think Waititi's quote is interesting because it seems to imply that he doesn't know who the enemy would be. The post-credits tag from Love and Thunder clearly points to Zeus and Hercules as antagonists for another film. Why even put that there in the first place if that isn't the direction a...

Hemsworth has realized that Love and Thunder was too silly. https://variety.com/2023/film/news/chris-hemsworth-criticizes-thor-love-and-thunder-silly-1235634333/ Better late than never, I guess.

I think we know exactly what that means. Brett Goldstein was Hercules in the Love and Thunder tag. Although I wasn't a big fan of this movie, it would be sloppy storytelling if they didn't follow up on that at some point.

I agree with your logic here. But the mid-credits scene from Love and Thunder seems to complicate this idea because it directly sets up a future confrontation for Thor which seems likely to come in a standalone film. Marvel has developed a recent habit of introducing new characters in...

I don't recall any subtitling. But, like you, I only saw it once and it has been a while.

The Honest Trailer is here: Accurate.

That's actually a really good guess, and it wouldn't surprise me if you are very close. But I think the reason is different than you're suggesting. I don't think that just saying when it will stream at D23 would count as that much of a reveal because everybody knows that it is coming soon to...

The database at Blu-ray.com currently lists it for September 27. I'm not sure where they got that information because Disney hasn't officially announced it as far as I know. But that certainly does seem to be within the realm of possibility and I would not be surprised at all if it is correct...

Thursday, July 7 (the "sneak preview" night for Love and Thunder) was 45 days ago. If you're counting from the July 8 "official" release date, day #45 would be tomorrow and day #46 would be Tuesday. As we know, 45 days is the new minimum standard theatrical window. Disney observed a 48-day...

I think these two ideas could have been accomplished in the same sequence.

I was okay with Infinity War placing him where he was emotionally because of how much he had lost. In Ragnarok, he thought he found a way to save Asgard's people even though the planet was destroyed, only for Thanos to show up and immediately murder half of them. Plus, he watched Loki and...

It is, and this was always the case. Nope has sequences filmed with IMAX cameras, and it is a new release. So IMAX is committed to showing that film beginning this weekend.

And yet comic book movies are consistently huge grossers, particularly the ones connected to the MCU. They are the most consistently dominant brand of blockbusters in Hollywood. I don't think you get to the level of success that the MCU has achieved if you're reaching comic book readers...

I love this hypothetical. But as you know, Love and Thunder doesn't work as a standalone. It is not designed to work as a standalone. It requires the audience's basic general knowledge of the characters and situations from other movies, which it then contradicts. Therein lies the problem. I...

Very well stated.

Edit for clarity: This post originally quoted and was in response to a post that has now been deleted. I apologize as it was not my intention to gang up on you. The narrative value of comic book films and their logic is an interesting discussion which you raised on the last pager. That's all.

Edit for clarity: This post originally quoted and was in response to a post that has now been deleted. Film tastes are subjective and if these movies are not for you, that's obviously your prerogative. But that is not what you said previously. You said: Your opinion is yours. But this is...

@Joe Wong, I almost used your exact same example but decided to focus on the MCU specifically when I wrote my most recent post before this ne. There are also comic book adaptations that don't involve superheroes. Fun Home is a graphic novel about a lesbian cartoonist whose closeted father...

Edit for clarity: This post originally quoted and was in response to a post that has now been deleted. They may not be based on our reality precisely. Obviously, there is a big difference between what this movie is doing and what a historical drama like Munich or Lincoln is doing. But they...

I think the reason this is particularly bothersome is because the previous story where this would have been useful involves Thor so directly. The early movies of Phase Two mostly avoided the question of why the Avengers weren't involved and asked the audience to accept it because they went back...

I only saw it once a week ago and don't plan to watch it again until it is available in home. So I could be remembering this wrong. But I think there was a line that said that the wish would be granted only to the first person who gets there. The reason other characters didn't try to use it...

The Pitch Meeting is here. Spoilers, obviously, so don't click if you haven't seen the movie yet.

I didn't say it made sense. I agree with your point. But I can understand why some studio executive who isn't particularly invested in the creative side of the business might make that stipulation in the name of more screenings.

Because a 2-hour movie can have more showtimes scheduled than a 3-hour movie. That being said, it does seem odd for Disney to make this demand of only Waititi. Just a couple months ago, they let Raimi make Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness two hours and six minutes.

That's a Universal issue leftover from when they had the rights to the character. It's all very confusing and legal but my understanding is that Disney can't release a solo movie with Hulk in the title. But they can include him in other team-up films, which is why they could put him in...

With that in mind, how would everyone rank the Phase Four films thus far personally? For me, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Spider-Man: No Way Home are virtually tied for the top tier. No Way Home is special and satisfying because it manages to give Tobey Maguire and Andrew...
