Thor: Ragnarok

I think I'm now more excited for this film than any upcoming MCU film; including Doctor Strange.

1. We know Loki has somehow usurped the throne form Odin after the ending of The Dark World.

2. We know Hulk is going to be in this movie and will play a fairly big role.

3. We know that Cate Blanchett is in the movie and is playing Hela.

So, here is my theory: Loki (disguised as Odin) tricks Thor and Hulk into fighting each other in Hel (throwback to the comics) somehow. Perhaps the "Winner" is able to leave Hel and go save Asgard/earth...whatever. Also, Loki plays a part in releasing Surtur. Thor and Hulk then have to team up to take on the most powerful threats yet in the MCU. Could be Mangog? Surtur? Who knows...either way I cannot wait for this movie now.

Adding Hulk to this movie really was a great move. Hulk and Thor together is awesome. Marvel has to many films to look forward to. Poor DC.

Yah, I get it. People started talking trash about Marvel's villains so it became popular to just parrot that statement; when in fact they have been okay. I think it just is exemplified because the MCU HEROES have almost all been home run/grand slams. So when the villains are solid doubles or triples (a few strike outs) people over-exaggerate how "bad" they are.

I agree with some of them.

MCU villain hate is WAY overplayed

Iron Man 1- Obadiah Stane was pretty solid. Jeff Bridges was often cited as one of the highlights of the movie

Iron Man 2 - Okay, Whiplash and "MC" Hammer were terrible....

Iron Man 3- While I didn't mind the comic twist on Mandarin, Killian wasn't good I'll give you that

Thor 1- Loki was excellent.

Thor 2 - Malekith wasn't great but Kurse was pretty cool; if fleeting.

Captain America 1 - Red Skull was great. Hugo Weaving did a great job bringing the Nazi A-hole to life.....though it sucks they got rid of him.

Captain America 2- Winter Soldier as the antagonist was amazing. Also, Robert Redford did a hell of a job as Alexander Pierce.

EDIT: Civil War - Zemo was really good, Crossbones was fine until they killed him.

The Incredible Hulk - Thunderbolt Ross played by William Hurt was solid; and Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) was pretty good until he turned into Abomination.

Avengers 1- Loki again shined; but that's not surprising as Hiddleston is amazing.

Avengers 2- Again, Ultron was pretty good, certainly one of the better Marvel villains imo. He wasn't great, but I'd say he was good enough.

Guardians of the Galaxy - I actually liked Ronan, I just felt he was wasted by them killing him off at the end. Also, he didn't get quite enough screen time. But I like Lee Pace's take on the character. He was a badass and one can't blame him for succumbing to Chris Pratt's pelvic sorcery.

Ant-Man - Yah, okay, I couldn't stand Yellowjacket. The epitome of a throwaway villain from the MCU. The only real stain on an otherwise great movie.

If you count the good ones though, you might be surprised how many there are.

Not to mention Loki is probably the favorite comic book movie villain after Ledger's Joker.

The difference is with or without Ledger, that incarnation of the villain was a one off. Whilst Loki is still around.

Plus we have Thanos coming.

Kevin Feige confirms that Natalie Portman will not be featured in Thor: Ragnarok and says 80-90% of the film "takes place in the cosmos." However, there are still a few scenes on Earth/Midgard.

Thank god.

Also, I agree I'm glad Natalie Portman is gone. You could tell she just wasn't into it; that and her character was bad.

I'd still bang Natalie though. But she does seem like her breath always smells like salami.

Yay I still get me some Darcy.

Wonder how they're going to write Jane out after the war TDW ended.

It'd be refreshing if they just said "Thor dumped her". Otherwise they don't need to put in a big effort, they will probably just say she's off doing something science related.

Magic apocalypse's aren't really her area of expertise.

That would be refreshing but would just seem a bit of a random turn given that's been the direction of the last 2 films.

I think your 2nd idea of her being off on a science thing would be better. After all they mention her in both A1 and A2 without her needing to be in it.
