Hopefully Ragnorok doesn't drop the ball, I have a feeling it's gonna deliver, although I actually like Thor 1&2 so what do I know..........
Personally speaking, I think of all the Marvel characters they had to work with...Thor by far had the most potential. I mean, a celestial warrior-prince banished to earth that leads to him learning some humility? Thor as a character, and by extension, the larger world of Asgard the character inhabits is by their very nature incredibly interesting and cinematic. Marvel just seemed to drop the ball with the character by largely hiring the wrong people to direct and write his movies. They keep squandering Thor's potential.
So as a result, we have Thor languishing in probably two of the most forgettable comic book movies of the last ten years whilst in comparison, Cap seems to have gotten this great team behind him who really understand the fundamentals of the character, and just as importantly, how to tell a really great story in general. It's fascinating, really.
That's the only way to live.

How are they essentiallly directing over Coogler? Other dudes I think didn't really put their stamp on their movies but I think Coogler definitely will.
And he was 1 of 2 who were "meh" on it (both still saying it was "better and smarter" than BvS).
mid 90s RT.
People ask why Cinematic Universes are a good thing -- it's because when we get to that movie, Marvel won't have to explain anything. Characters won't have to be introduced, they can just hit the ground running. Everything has already been set up. Now we just get to watch the Russo's work their magic.

In Feige we trust. He said Ragnarok will be the Thor franchise's "Winter Soldier". If he delivers it will be great.
All of the characters, names, story that you loved.. came from Marvel comics business deal in the 80s to write back-stories for the toys. Then they helped make the TV shows Transformers and GI.Joe.

Drinking games with that many rules are too hard after a few drinks.
Especially this one.

Natalie Portman isn't in it so it's automatically going to be much better than the first two.

In that they're introducing the character and how he fights and acts and all that.

Knew about GI Joe, didn't realize Transformers had a similar treatment.
They are white bars. #doubletriggered
If it's good we drink. If it's bad we drink.

I mean, coogler could just pull a Whedon and not give a single fuck about how the Russos directed the character much better than him
In the gamesradar review, this line :
its a shame that the trailers (and LEGO) gave away quite so many of the film's surprises
Is it implying what I think it's implying ?
You chose the wrong side.

Oh shit very true
It's too complicated for its own good and it doesn't know how to be fun. This is like the BvS of drinking games.

The way they keep saying this is a trilogy makes me think Cap dies and Bucky takes up the mantle. Which is a damn shame if it does happen because Chris Evans is a treasure.

I love how drinking game the internet makes would result in seeing the bottom of the bottle within five minutes.

Drink when someone makes a negative comparison to BVS
Yeah, there's no winning/losing depending on your definition. In every scenario you give yourself alcohol poisoning. :/
I'm fun at parties
This one is kinda this right?

From what I understand there isn't a traditional villain in this.
Thanos should be the GOAT under Russo direction

God o damn.
If it does, at least they'll be defending the right DC movie this time

Civil War will give us a glimpse of it for sure but it's missing Thor and Hulk (imagine how brutal they'll be in a Russo bros film) and this movie is about internal conflict rather than everyone working together.
