I just posted the picture for a good frame of the Jack Kirby art, someone else took the screenshot. It's not the best capture from the scene.

I like the little tributes like this and the book Stan Lee was reading in Doctor Strange.

That opening shot from the Thor trailer is from Chronicles of Riddick, btw. I was thinking about it at lunch and in a lot of ways Chronicles of Riddick is a protoplasmic Marvel film. You've got the quips, the comical deaths, the dehumanized bad guys, etc. etc. help me out CineD.

As we all know, prison rape jokes are always funny and never contrived or offensive. What could be funnier than rape?

It wasn't the rape joke that was funny, it was the set up of some gross alien grognard getting all amped up over Starlords booty and a loving treeman sticking twigs up his nose and lifting him 6 feet off the ground while a racoon berates him about it.

Sometimes an entire situation and outcome can be funny.

It just bums me out that the shot is close to being pretty good but then they throw that stupid glass in front of it and diffuses* a bunch of the light in the middle and the light reflections distract from all the details hidden in the back. I probably would have done away with a few of the cosplay extras and made the art in the background more prominent because yeah, that poo poo is boss.

This is my booty
Booty can refer to a treasure. Rocket is a bounty hunter. Quill is worth money to Rocket, making him some sort of booty.

I mean, I might be super naive here, but yeah, I thought the one dude wanted to eat Quill (as eating humans seems to be 'a thing' in the movie) and then Rocket said don't eat the guy who is worth money to me.

But sure, maybe everyone wants to rape him??

There's actually a whole sub-group of the Vore Community that is into mixing humor and sensuality in their feasts. It's called "Gulp Play" and it shows that you aren't constrained to one emotional angle in any feed-play scenario.

My theory is that he had no choice. That knowledge, once it's in your brain, gestates and grows, slowly taking over the decision-making parts of your brain until it's ready, at which point it compels its host to find a location where it can spore and spread to new hosts and begin the process anew. We are all tainted now. Fire is the only remedy.

Is Thor's surprise at seeing the Hulk the most emotion we've seen out of the character? I'm trying to remember Thor's 1 and 2 and my mind can only conjure comedic straight-man thunder god maybe being a little sad during Thor 1.

He's pretty emotional throughout Thor 1, jovial, angry, sad, happy, whatever. In everything else he's basically what you say. He's a bit more reserved and grim when he first appears in Avengers 1 because now everyone knows there's an infinity gem on earth and he thinks earth is just straight up hosed but that goes away as the movie goes on.

He was angry as gently caress when Captain America told him to "put the hammer down" in Avengers 1.

He got pretty melancholy after his mother died in Thor 2.

There were probably other moments of Asgardian emotion that I'm forgetting but that just proves your point on how rare it is.

My favorite plot development in all of the MCU is how in Avengers 1 they need an expert in gamma radiation so they go to a lot of trouble to find and recruit Banner so that he can tell that random character on the bridge of the helicarrier to search for gramma radiation instead of normal radiation.

That was pretty intense, huh?

I loved the Thor 3 trailer.

But what if Thor 3...



...was in color.


This comparison I made using the screenshot Phylodox posted as an example is over-exaggerating, but still, from a color grading perspective, almost every Marvel film has a kind of grey/washed out filter applied over it that results in little to no contrast or vibrance. The shot composition/framing/blocking here is fine though, but I'm personally not a fan of this Marvel Grey Filter™ prevalent among MCU movies.

Thor's pretty jovial at the start of Age of Ultron before Ultron shows up and everyone gets serious. Like, half the jokes in that Avengers party scene are him getting Cap's WW2 friends wasted on Asgardian booze or messing around with the hammer or making Rhodey feel inadequate.

It feels like so much of Marvel's films are just missing color grading to an extent. I mean, at least when I've shot student films before, I use a Technicolor profile that results in the contrast being a bit lower and the shot looking slightly desaturated. Then I fixed it in color grading. It feels like they did the first step but not the second step. It's really odd.

Unless they have been super secret about it, the Guardians are not in Ragnarok.

Thor and Hulk have large roles and Doctor Strange has a cameo.

Interesting tidbit about thor and guardians: the director originally wanted John C. Reiley's Nova corps character in Ragnarok but he was unavailable.

Seeing as how Thor took off from Age of Ultron seeking out the Infinity Stones and who was behind collecting them and Thor: Ragnorak seems to be about broader cosmic/alien stuff it certainly makes the movie wide open for some kind of Guardians connection even if its not the team itself.

Like, you'd think there'd be some sub plot about the Stones since that was Thor's whole mission statement at the end of Age of Ultron and the setup for Infinity War. The Hulk War World stuff could just be the first or second act of the film. Maybe like first act Asgard, second act War World, third act Infinity Stones.
