It's the blandest shot in a movie full of really colourful scenes. What a dumb choice to pick - aside from it having all the action figures in one place looking straight.

Like 60% of the shots in the movie are exactly that - directly head on, center framed mid shots. It's a baffling choice.

I wonder if they are going to go with New Asgard floating in the New Mexico desert in future MCU offerings. I remember that being a kind of interesting storyline, but I only have vague recollections of it. A nice good ol boy in over his head with a asgardian girlfriend if I remember.

Maybe. I really just barely remember anything about it. As I remember it, Asgard showed up above the state, Thor announced "gently caress You, this is how poo poo is", a local yokle managed to get a pretty Asgardian girlfriend, and Thor beat the poo poo out of Tony for Civil War shenanigans before warning him to gently caress all the way off.

I thought the whole bit with Odin in Ragnarok was suggesting Norway be the new Asgard? Isn’t that way the scene of Hela destroying Mjolnir was changed from an alley to a field in between the trailer and the final release? Because Marvel mandates that plotpoint or something?

He was suggesting anywhere could be Asgard. He just happened to be in Norway when he said it. Waititi shot it initially in a alley, but thought somewhere open was better/

Don Draper would connect the dots better than I could on "anywhere can be Asgard" and the Chevy logo... "Anything can be a Chevy" perhaps?

I really truly do not understand this Twitter account. Just posting screen shots of movies is so pointless. By themselves, without context, these shots look bad or at least unimpressive. Hell even in context, with an understanding of what the show is trying to convey to the audience in order to tell the story, these shots often look bad. This also brings me to how disappointed I am that we see none of these characters again in Infinity War. We are made to just assume they are all dead, killed directly by Thanos off screen. :/

Marvel movies never really went that way until the post credit scene in Infinity war.

I truly hate that Marvel is downplaying these horrific events that they wrote into the films. Now it's canon even that Loki wasn't a monstrously evil person bent on enslaving mankind, it was the loving staff with the infinity stone in it that was mind controlling him this whole time. They literally wrote every bad guy to be innocent this entire time and it comes off as incredibly awkward and weird. I'm waiting to read about how it's canon now that Thanos is just misunderstood and a kind gentle person this entire time. He just wanted to make sure kittens were safe or something.

So how are they going to explain never calling Captain Marvel in previous movies? Is Captain Marvel going to end with, "If you ever find yourself and other people turning into dust, AND ONLY THEN, you can call me on this pager thingie. But any other alien invasion? I'm not getting out of bed for that poo poo."?

He has a line about “being forced to watch over the thing I desire the most, but never able to obtain” (paraphrasing). There’s definitely a kind of existential torture being enforced on him.

Are there any other movies where the villain does that thing where they plan to get captured and then escape, but then actually accomplishes nothing by having done so? You have it working successfully in other Marvel movies, in two of the Nolan Batman movies, in Skyfall, and a bunch of other stuff, but I can't think of any where the villain tries it and it's a total misfire. Sort of an interesting decision.
