    Thats honestly the one that sticks out the most for me. The consequences of arriving at the correct decision too late. Honestly they should have reshot it, the delay wouldn't have been too bad and it would make the scene more effective.

    Its still a good scene, particularly the bits with the three before Hela rocks up, but shooting it properly would have been a better decision.

    Also, prophesy is kind of weird that way. And while Hela is powerful as they come, Surtur doesn’t have to destroy her, he just has to destroy Asgard. That will remove the source of Hela’s power and leave her at the epicentre of a whole world being demolished

    Those Norway shots looked so fake in the late trailer that I was sure they didn't represent the final cut of the actual movie. Whoops. Less distractingly bad than Leia in Rogue One, but not much.

    I guess I was the only one who didn't care about the Norway scenes being green screened.

    It isn't so much that we 'care' its just they've very obviously been done on the quick compared to everything else.

    No, we don’t expect to see the film cre fly all the way to Norway just for a quick couple scenes; we fully expect a quick compositing job.
    It’s that it turned out so bad...

    Plus I didn’t care for that scene anyway. It had zero emotional impact for me. It just went by too fast.
    it was “there he is” then “let me tell you this before I go” and then ‘poof’ with the sparkles, then comes Hela.

    For me there was no emotional build up and therefore no emotional pay off.

    So I am concluding that between the scene pacing and piss poor compositing job they had, like, negative zero time to put it together right.

    I watched it twice and on the second time around the humor kinda bothered me. I loved the serious stuff, but man the humor was trying way too hard.

    Kind of funny how just one movie has changed the box office story. A week ago it seemed every news outlet was on the bandwagon of lets talk about how bad the box office is. Today I've noticed that most outlets seem to be oh wow look at those numbers. If Justice League and maybe even Coco can put up some strong numbers then people will totally forget how bad other months of the year were.

    Nah, it's just turbo nerds and anyone with a website becoming more & more hipster about things with each movie. Thor 2 was too serious, Avengers 2, Ant-Man, GotG 2 and Thor 3 have too much comedy, the Iron Man's and Civil War were too dull with colors and not bright enough, GotG 2 and Thor 3 and too many colors and were too bright, Black Widow needs more development, Black Widow showed feelings to Banner in a character development arc so now she's a "weak chick" trope, The Hulk doesn't talk enough, now he talks too much, it's obvious where they used green screen in this & that movie, blah blah blah blah blah. It would be f'ing hilarious if it wasn't so damn predictably redundant.

    I’m concluding my comment should have been in blue...

    Frankly, I'm tired of people pulling the superhero fatigued card. I don't hear people go, "Oh man, I'm on family comedy fatigue" or "I'm sick of the number of dramas coming out every year."

    Agree completely.
    Seems to me that if anything, superhero movies are about the only things making money any more.

    Damn that's pretty good. Didn't the past Thor films only make like 500-600 mil each?

    Wasn't able to catch the mid and post-credit scenes.

    Really had to use the restroom at that point.
    Anyway,
    all hail King Thor.

    The Mid credits scene is Thanos’ ship, Santuary-2 coming up to Thor’s ship and esclipsing it.

    The post-credits scene is The Grandmaster crawling out of some wreckage to find himself surrounded by the scavenger tribe people. He makes a funny speach about how great everyone did in the revolution, and pats himself on the back saying that you can’t have a revolution without someone to overthrow, and how he’s honored to have been a part of it. “But it’s a draw..”

    I thought that ship
    belonged to the Black Cauldron?

    As for the other scene, it shows that nothing is going to change as Grand Master is going to be back to ruling the planet.

    How in the hell do you think he’s going to get out of that situation?
    One unarmed man, dozens of cannibals.
    If anything I bet he will survive, he essentially is in the same spot as his brother. But he won’t go back to ruling the planet again.
