Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thor 1 reminded me of Masters of the Universe a lot because it was muscle man and his team of heroes descending from their dimension to Earth to fight baddies from their own plane of existence. Only the score wasn't as good. And when I first watched it, I had no idea it was related to the existing Iron Man and Hulk movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It does look fun. Though it also looks like its trying too hard to ride off the success of Guardians, at least with the trailer. I'm sure Marvel will exhaust that formula very soon. I might watch it for Cate Blanchett. Once and Bilbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,346 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 A reason why people say 'Guardians' is because it takes place on alien planets and not Earth. This is not a formula. It's geographical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 To me it makes sense for the more spacey/mystical Marvel films to have similar aesthetics. I mean.... that's what the MCU is....they're replicating how the comics interconnect but in film form... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I can't disagree with that. And I can't say it doesn't make sense in a world building kinda way. But it does show once again Marvel seems more interested now in their overall product line rather then making each individual film series unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Just now, Stefancos said: But it does show once again Marvel seems more interested now in their overall product line rather then making each individual film series unique Again, like the comics. Marvel has always had more of a "house style" than DC. I'm not big on comics, but this was their goal and they're certainly fulfilling that.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hopkins freely admitted he didn't have a clue what the second film was about and just did his lines. "Thor again? Kenneth not directing? Higher fee? Hmmm....well if my schedule is free. But do make sure about the fee. And make sure when they send the script my lines are clearly marked this time." - Hopkins talking to his agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm sure he'll make a smaller film between GOTG 2 and 3.
