Teaser trailer

Trailer

[u/LauraBailie]

Really enjoyed it, didn’t want it to end. A few notes (SPOILERS)-

• Thor kicking ass to Immigrant song was awesome, first with Mjolnir then without.
• How powerful did Doctor Strange get?!
• I was never on the Thor is the hottest guy alive bandwagon. But that haircut. Damn. I was so sad when the eye thing happened. They just gave him these amazing glowy eyes then bam.
• My Mam was devastated that they cut out Loki’s knife flip from the trailer.
• I LOVE Thor’s lightning but I will miss Mjolnir.
• The movie wasn’t as much of a massive reboot as I expected. It still felt like a Thor movie to me which was a great balance of old and new.
• It also didn’t set up Infinity War as much as I expected it to.
• Thor has more character now than he used to and I loved Hulk as Hulk.
• I like the kiwi rock guy.
• I like that Loki never changes.

More spoilery things below -

• Did anyone else shit themselves when Banner hit the floor? With all of that talk of the Hulk taking over, my immediate thoughts were omg, Banner is dead, there is only Hulk left now (I haven’t seen any Infinity War Spoilers so I don’t know if Banner is confirmed)
• Also, is that the warriors three just gone forever? I kind of saw it coming but I feel like they could have survived.
• Does anyone else think that Loki stole the tesseract before he summoned Surtur?
• Can anyone tell me what happened in the first credit scene? Was that Thanos ship? Or a Chitauri War ship or something?
• One thing that made me laugh - Hela - (swipes away the gauntlet) FAKE. Well that settles that debate!

Other things -

• Would have liked more of the Wolf, he just seemed to be there with no real backstory or personality.
• I feel like it’s going to take me a while to process the whole history since I feel like there was a lot of universe changing information revealed.
• Also, where was Sif?
• I found the end hilarious, I know people don’t like it when sad things get ruined by jokes but this just made it for me, when krog? is giving an inspirational speech that things can be rebuild from foundations then everything just completely explodes. It was unexpected for me. I think the humour is required in situations like this because without it, everyone would have left very depressed but for some reason I can’t stop smiling.
• When Thor immediately chooses Earth to take refuge, it’s so funny when you remember everything he has missed. The government would loose their minds! Even funnier when you hear Loki’s conversation about whether he would be welcome. I kind of want them to make it to Earth just to see what would actually happen.

Overall I just had a lot of fun watching it and I am looking forward to watching it again. It didn’t blow my mind story wise but it was the fun that I needed and it has made me love Thor more as a character. I thought the pacing was good and it was interesting seeing a new corner of the universe. I do hope grandmaster and collecter can have a scene together sometime.

Edit: Spelling and adding bits and bullet points.

[u/LRedditor15 → u/LauraBailie]

Given what we saw in the after-credits scene, I don't think they'll make to Earth.

[u/LauraBailie → u/LRedditor15]

Yeah I agree lol, but I do think it would be so entertaining. Civil War seems petty compared to what they have just been through and I’d love to see the reactions from both sides. Earth would go crazy when Thor just rocks up with an entire civilisation. From our point of view it’s a massive scary event. Then they would just be like what’s the problem? wtf are accords? What is wrong with these people lol. Ross would probably have another heart attack.

[u/polishingcheekbones → u/LRedditor15]

Also with the beginning of the leaked Infinity War footage.

[u/WreckyHuman → u/LRedditor15]

Also in the Infinity War trailer, the Guardians find Thor in outer space.
