Norse,
Are we now making Nintendo references?
No, my reference was something much more horrible
Drejk,
Having Hercules and Thor do stuff would be better than what I read about.
I don't think so. I don't think I've ever ready any of the Avengers comics with Hercules that I wasn't kind of annoyed by him (though I never read the Champions comic - maybe he's not as annoying there). I'd just as soon keep him well away.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. And I'm perfectly fine with how much was played for humor even if it wasn't classic Marvel Thor who was nearly always extremely humorless. It's really hard to do the cosmic, Hulk-infused stuff without some humor.
But now I'm wondering if I can get my wife to cosplay Hela...
The parts I remember about Hercules, he always seemed gawdawfully Olympian in his treatment of women and those 'beneath him'.
Really glad the MCU didn't use him.
I think you all need to read Incredible Hercules. It's a great series.

Yeah, the humor added a lot to the movie. I really liked Ragnarok quite a bit. The sound track was also really good. Ragnarok is just a well made movie.

Ya'll are heathens but at least you have taste. :p
Bjorn,
I liked GotG...but I remain unconvinced they needed that much humor to make Thor a better movie.
Maybe next time they'll have him fight Galactus.
Poor blanket is drowning.
Which blanket?
Ah. That wouldn't be me then cause I'm not against the movie. Just tweaking it. :p ;)

Saw it with my brother and SIL at the beginning of the month. Loved it. Loved loved loved loved loved it. All the funny scenes were hilarious and all the epic scenes were pure undiluted awesome.
Place it firmly in the Top 5 Marvel movies ever along with the two GOTGs, Doctor Strange, and Avengers 1.
The wet one.
TOZ gets me.
So just got back from seeing it. I hadn't planned to see it in the theaters but a friend of ours who we always watch movies with was rather eager to see it.
I wish I could say I was disappointed but that would mean it had failed to live up to my expectations, and I didn't expect it to be a good movie. It was better than the last two and could have been a pretty decent flick had it not had that incessant gawdawful joking. If the movie had kept the "YES!/He's a friend from work" scene and left out all the rest of the humor it would have been good. The general themes of character growth, change and loss would have made a great movie, yet any poignancy or seriousness was instantly deflated by bad jokes which failed to make me smile even once (and the one joke that would have worked was in the first trailer and so not terribly funny anymore).
It was definitely better than the last two Thor movies (not a difficult feat) but tried too hard to be GotG (movies which I did not like) and not its own thing.
Hah...I am glad I am not the only one, although I was hyped prior which probably means my disappointment is even greater. Although I did find the jokes funny, I just think their were too many of them and that they consistently undercut the dramatic moments.

Haven't seen it yet by holy crap the score is epic!
I'm probably going to see it this weekend mostly because I have time and a working car by then. :p
Unsurprised. I still think the last Gem is in Black Panther.

They should have added "And a better uniform!"
At least it's not the one that would cause a significant tonne of confusion...

I'm glad the Infinity War trailer kept ye olde one-eye instead of reverting to some binocular shenanigans. Even up to Monday I was seeing articles that speculated something happened between Ragnarok and Infinity War to restore missing eyes, because of the D23 footage. This trailer put those to rest though, and Kudos to Disney for keeping that spoiler until the film.
Wei,
I don't think Rogers was ready to change titles/code names just yet. Maybe later. Plus the fact I bet he figures he'll be redeemed some how.
With Thanos coming, I'd bet heavily on it.
Arch,
I'm still waiting to see if we get a return of Mjolnir by the end of this film...
Yeah I think getting make his hammer is gonna be a subplot in IW

I find it more likely that Strange could use the Time Stone to unmake the hammer's destruction, or some contrivance along that line.
It would be a trifle matter for the gauntlet. At least 2 of the gems should be able to really.
If he can see that the destruction of Mjolnir, which is a 'fixed point in time', must happen for the best result for Earth (and by extension Reality), I'm pretty sure he'd come up with some sort of 'work-around' to both have his cake and eat it, too, as it were.

Borrow the hammer from the timeline every time thor was passed out drunk for the first 10,000 years of his life.
Should buy you 9,000 years of... say it...
Stop.
Collaborate and listen?
(Oh wait wrong one hit wonder... Now if we had been talking about TMNT.)

Perhaps 'fixed point' isn't the right term to use.
"Dreadfully and horribly inconvenient mess-making data point that if it gets jiggled too much can cause the whole system to come crashing down around itself and leave us with either a broken reality or milenia of work to correct" is probably closer to the mark.

I don't want them to bring the hammer back. Doing so invalidates so much of his heros journey, not just in Ragnarok, but all the way back to Thor. His arc has been about defining who he is as a super being, and particularly in Ragnarok, that arc involved rejection of his cultures history of conquest and embracing protection. Mewmew is a literal symbol of the old Asgard, and of the tyranny he rejected in Hela. He evolved beyond needing Odin's safety net, beyond Asgard's safety net, and finally beyond Mewmew's. Bringing the hammer back for him would be a step back for the character.
Now if someone brings the hammer back for another to take the mantle of Thor, then it becomes useful to the plot. Otherwise it's a fall back on a version of Thor that the character has moved beyond.
A pretty important question as I see it...
Sissyl,
It's all pretty muddled if you ask me thanks to the first Thor movie and the fact they aren't actual gods. :P
If so, that's a damn stupid arc. Mjolnir is an iconic part of Thor. Stripping him of it for a time can be good character growth, but removing it permanently is just wrong.I don't want them to bring the hammer back.

If "permanently" is, "for the next movie or two before he basically vanishes" (dead, retired, whatever), then bringing it back less than a film after he lost it would be an even more stupid arc, because it would be genuinely pointless.

The hammer lets him do a lot of cool interesting tricks in combat , rather than being just a flying super strong guy.
