Trailer looks awesome, and so happy to see Hulk be able to utter more then just a few words.

Re: Thor: Ragnarok (11/3/2017, D: Waititi) - News, rumors, etc.

Way back when the first film was in pre-production, I made the comment here that I wished it would be more like Dino DeLaurentis' Flash Gordon and embrace it's four color fantasy roots. I got a lot of eye rolls and "Hell No!"s.
This is EXACTLY what I was talking about at the time- Bright, colorful, grand scale operatic, and more than a little irreverent.

I still enjoy the first film quite a bit, but it's a relief that we've finally gotten to the point where these things can finally come out of the closet and be what they are at their core without making ashamed excuses for the somewhat sillier tropes that are part and parcel of the source material.

More, please.

Check out the Planet Hulk animated movie if you want to see more of Hulk talking. Its pretty good and Hulk speaks a lot. He also never reverts to Banner. Hes Hulk through the whole movie.

I've considered the Thor movies to be on the weaker side of the Marvel spectrum but this... this... my goodness. This looks absolutely fantastic.

So I'm assuming by some of the lines of dialogue spoken by Hela indicate she IS the Goddess of Death? Does that mean there won't be an actual personification of Death for Thanos to cuck to like in the comics? Will Hela be a two-for-one character?

Love the look of the movie, the feel, the trailers. But I just can't shake Thor's hair.

Yes, I know it's nitpicky, and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, and likely indicates his status as a prisoner, etc.

But so many of those scenes would look/play tons better if he still had the long hair. Not just the action scenes (especially the lightning scene), but even the comedic dialogue scenes. Something about Thor with long hair delivering funny lines gets me every time. Like the shorts with Thor and his roommate Daryl.

The colors, the colors. Such a throwback 80's synthwave inspired look.

While I am looking forward to this, the second trailer makes me think this is more of a Guardians sequel than part of the Thor series. I hope they don't take all of their properties this direction. Guardians stood out because it was different, and this looks like it will work as well because the Thor/Hulk dynamic was set up in Avengers. But, they (solo movies) all had their own look/feel and I hope they keep it that way for eveyone else.

The Thor series has always given off that "cosmic" vibe. I don't see this as a big departure.

Love this trailer but I'm sad to say that I think we won't hear these trailer songs in the film itself. I hope I'm wrong.

The art theme/scheme for Ragnarok reminds me a lot of this...

Yeah I thought they were trying to hit a Guardians aesthetic too, even with the 80's looking font. Thor seemed to be making more quips then he should too. But with the first two Thor movies looked upon by fans as being less then great, I guess it makes sense to try and change it up a little.

I totally forgot about this, but a friend of mine pointed this out. I love this 80's retro marketing they're doing for this.

Probably from those guys that had the Zune in GotGV2. Or he stole it from Tony Stark.

It hasn't been officially announced, but based on the tag in Doctor Strange, and some tweets from Taiki Waititi, it seems extremely likely:

Good question, I was wondering the exact same thing myself

I believe he is supposed to. I'm sure that the end scene in Dr. Strange had Thor show up for a reason.

Oh, and the music used in the trailer is from a great band called Magic Sword.
