BURDENED WITH GLORIOUS PURPOSE

[Idle Miscreant]

"Ruffalo hinted that 'Thor: Ragnarok' will focus on Hulk's relationship with Thor. According to Gamespot, Ruffalo described it to be a "buddy comedy" reminiscent of Robert De Niro's 1988 film 'Midnight Run'. He said, "I feel like that's kind of where we're heading with this relationship between Thor and Banner. It's not your classic road movie but it has that structure, I think."



Marvel, go and sit in the corner with the stupid hat on.
Ragnarök...A BUDDY COMEDY? I'm sorry, I'M SORRY!? There's something horrible stuck in my brain, and I think it's your thought.

Who for the love of god looks at an apocalypse and thinks NEEDS MORE ROAD MOVIE?

"after heaven and earth and the whole world are burned...All the gods will be dead, together with the Einherjar and the whole of mankind."
And then what, Hulk buys a fucking slurpee at 7-11?


You have the never to be repeated opportunity of staging the most glorious of mythological battles, complete with philosophical (vaguely Oedipal) motifs of fate versus free will, nature versus nurture, along with iconic concepts of identity and the validity of self-creation at a monstrous cost, as well as the bloody mistress of the dead, and Heimdallr, the observer of the nine realms (if you start to blend myth with MCU) battling with Loki, the bastard god of mischief (now seated on the throne as Odin), and Thor fighting a giant serpent, Odin (wherever the fuck he is) being eaten by a wolf (both Loki's children, incidentally), you have all this handed to you on a goddamn Asgardian gilded pig's-bristle platter, and yet some sprite of idiocy prompts you to utter these foolish words;

"Let's make a 13th century based apocalyptic Norse god movie with HULK. The one thing nobody asked for!"

WHY THE FUCK IS THE HULK IN A THOR MOVIE? Go away. Mother of god.

Hulk flinging Loki around in the Avengers was the equivalent of a jock giving a "nerd" an atomic wedgie. HA HA HA, here's some intelligent, ornately-spoken ponce USING HIS BRAIN, let's beat the fucker into a wet lettuce.  

Marvel, how at this time I loathe you.



(Midnight Run is an excellent film, by the way...)

This. Only with even more profanity.

It must be remembered that Ruffalo is an enormous troll (even when he isn't playing big and green.) But yes, WTF Marvel? You've fucked up everything already, now you want to piss on the ashes? Just...stop it. Take your money and sod off.

I don't know. Maybe they run out of money and go to Vegas to recoup their funds. Could be fun watching a casino thug getting the Greenman treatment.

It's not like Marvel and DC haven't rebooted the crap out of most their properties in comics already, so I usually don't have a problem with movie versions changing some of Canon since to me they're just another reboot or take place in an AU. However, road trip Ragnarok? Someone should be drawn and quartered for that trash.

Loki is now the only reason I watch The Marvel movies anymore. He was fantastic in Thor and Avengers, he was practically the only good thing about Dark World (is it wrong that I really wanted to see Jane die?) and it pissed me off that his scene in Ultron was cut... Those bastards.

I was slightly more pissed that Thor left Loki's "body" lying around on Svartalfheim. Yes yes there was a massive dust storm, and Malekith had ponced off with the the ether (as you do), and Thor and his pet Barbie had to go stop the nine realms from converging, largely by the strategic placing of giant magic toothpicks, if you ask me, but he'd just saved BOTH their miserable lives, so at least walk a few goddamn steps carrying the fucker, a la English Patient!
But NO! It's OH GOD LOKI'S DEAD NOOOOOOOOOO-well that's a pity. Off we go, twiddle-de-fuckedy-dee...

Yes I do know that THE PLOT demanded that Loki be left alone to do his glowy green Lazarus act, but it still rankles.



Thor and his ADD.
