Marvel woke up today and said......let me remind y'all who the fuck we are!!

Personally Taika Waititi is the best thing to happen to the Thor films. The shit was boring before he got there.

I actually appreciated the Shakespearian take that Branagh went for

Taika is a genius but like Gunn with suicide squad...

You cannot let him just go ALL OUT

You gotta rein him in at some points.

But at the same time that unbridled creativity has birthed some of the greatest moments

The last Thor had great moments but really needed someone to come in and take a deep breath and figure what EXACTLY are we trying to say here?

He definitely needs to be tempered. Waititi is like Hideo Kojima in the sense that they're both very creative but if you let them go all out shit will lose direction.

I think there is a space for Branagh's take on things but I don't believe Thor is necessarily the right character for it nor is Chris Hemsworth the right actor.

Thor was an arrogant drunk in Norse mythology and I don't see the Hemsworth portrayal of Thor as kind of a dumb jock being too far off the mark. While the comic Thor may be a bit closer to Branagh's take I don't think anyone wants to see that version accurately portrayed.

Well f*cking stated

But I disagree I think you CAN do the Shakespeare jock Thor

And hemsworth can do it.

Why not?

In fact Aaron in the comics pulled that off with some btlrollant story arcs

I think extremes in either direction is what is frustrating fans.

I value your opinion on these matters so I will agree with you. In fact, there are plenty of dumb characters in Shakespeare, particularly the comedies (e.g. A Midsummer Night's Dream). Thor could definitely be used that way. That said, I don't believe it's a disservice to the character that he isn't.

Another gripe I have with certain elements of the fan base is they talk all of this stuff about wanting things to get more serious and then when Marvel gives them something more serious and ponderous in nature, like The Eternals, the fans then shit on it.

The superhero fan base, which includes intellectual fans like us, have honestly suffered from an embarrassment of riches. We have so much some of us have become picky and impossible to please.
