Thor: Ragnarok

This actually makes sense too. There are a few things that make me unsure of that though.

In Thor 1, they tried using a truck to move the hammer, and the trucks back end just broke off. Shield also had to build their mini base around it, which suggest no cranes or other such machinery could move it.

Whedon himself also stated he used that scene as a narrative shorthand to tell the audience that Vision is a good guy. That means he wrote it as Vision being worthy, not him being able to pick it up because he's an android. He used everyone who failed to pick it up before him (all the Avengers, Quicksilver) as set up for that scene.

Whedon:

"That came from a 'Do you know what would be cool?' moment. It’s the cheer moment of the film. And what’s great is that, like the Hawkeye thing, we’d set it up – we’d unknowingly set it up, just by having that ['Who is worthy enough to Mjolnir?'] sequence, then with Quicksilver as well, trying to grab it and it throws him off. Both of those things were in the script before I came up with the idea of [the Vision lifting Mjolnir].

I had done something similar in an episode of Angel, where I needed you to know someone was telling the truth. It was, very simply, Angel saying, 'He hates it if you ask questions, he can’t lie.' So, you just accept that.

So on the one hand, I want them all to trust each other and go into battle not as a coherent group, but when they finally all show up at the church, they really do come together for the first time. On the other hand, I need them to take this guy with them, and I need something to say, 'All right, we’re off!' And that really does answer a lot of questions. It was so much fun and so cute. Chris added the 'Nice work!' as he walked by Tony, by the way."

Frankly, we owe Whedon a lot of credit for his work on Avengers, but it was time for him to go. I believe that the Russo Brothers are more than up to the task to carry on and even improve upon the foundation that Joss provided.

Some official pictures have been released.

I gotta say, I am really enjoying the style which is clearly influenced by GotG. I really like Thor's look in particular. Plus swords > hammer.

I've a lot more faith in this movie now. I've been bored by most of Marvel's offerings now (really superhero flicks in general though Logan was quite nice) but this looks fun.

looks like... "Thor Pilgrim vs. The World"

Looks trippy as f.uuuuuck and clearly Jack Kirby inspired. Nice. This looks really cool. Might be the best in the Thor trilogy

Certainly has a different look and feel to it, which should hopefully end up being a good thing!

Looks more and more likely that Thor will fight Hulk without Mjolnir. I called it! Only way to make it an even fight.

Oh, my god... Goldblum looks awful!! 🙁 😮

Not as hillarious as the guy with a full faced helmet holding a beer!

How the hell is he supposed to drink it?

Haha.. yeah... 😂

And how can Thor be THOR without his long flowing locks??

I'm sorry, but this looks awful so far... Holy Space Christ..

Looks like a cheesy 80’s scifi flick. I’m loving it.

Thor already fought him with his hammer and Hulk looked superior. Prepare to eat your words when this film comes out. Hulk is the powerhouse while Thor is the more finely tuned skill guy. This is common sense you yeti.

Goldblum will shine as he always does.

I think going the GotG 80s route for Thor isn't the best idea. I'm still feeling good about it because of the talent involved, Waititi is a fantastic writer director and Cate Blanchett is so ****ing attractive

Man. This kind of bums me out, I was hoping for something way more myth heavy, and serious.

Yeah I'd like a Lord of the Rings type fantasy epic when it comes to Thor. Doesn't need to be science fictiony space stuff.

probably dont have the budget

Agreed. Thor isn't a Star Wars character, don't try and make him one. Even his more cosmic adventures have heavy fantasy influences.

whats the release date

So Thor and the Asgardians are still aliens?
