Well, now that I'm back from finally watching Thor: Ragnarok, I find myself ...conflicted. From the trailers, I knew that it was going to try to be more like Guardians of the Galaxy, but I hoped that.. being Marvel, they'd know not to stray too far.
After the movie had been released, my hopes were further bolstered by how many people truly seemed to have loved it.
Love... That is one thing of mine that THAT movie does not have.
They strayed so far from the vibes of the previous two movies.... tried to add so much of a different formula in...
If you were to watch the first two Thor movies, and then watch Ragnarok, it's going to stick out like a sore thumb.
You'd think that with Marvel being owned by Disney, someone would have given them the memo about how too much comic relief, and it doesn't take a whole lot to be too much, IS A BAD THING. This felt a lot like Guardians of the Galaxy 2, in that regard...
If you jam pack comedy into every single moment, not only is the humor lessened by the fact that you always know yet another punch line is just around the corner, you also drastically lessen the emotional impact of serious moments that didn't need said comic relief in the first place.
Ugh... maybe this is Disney's doing after all....
Going past that, I seriously have issues as well with the pacing. You are never given time to gain any sort of appreciation over new characters. Likewise, with things that seriously changed up previous interpretations of peoples, places, events... there too, you aren't given adequate time for any sort of emotional response. Were they trying to pack too much into a single movie? Were they afraid of making it longer?? I just don't understand decisions they made..
There were genuine things that I would have loved to learn more about.. new characters, and some old characters that I would have liked to know more backstory on. but they never gave it.. never allowed things to blossom...
Heck, even the camera shots were a bit weird when it came to... rushed pacing. So many switches that were a bit too abrupt.. that lacked a more smooth transition...
Adding all of that to the fact that they just... blatantly went against previously established character personalities, and had weird areas in plot that seriously could have used some more explaining (Hulk), I just... I've been left with a bad taste in my mouth... and more disappointment from Marvel, whom I have higher expectations of.
