These movies are the new Transformers films

Like the directors of Batgirl shocked?  Or more of a Weiss and Benioff Confederate shocked?

His delivery of the line, "No parent should have to bury their child," was masterfully memorable.

Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.

HAIL THE VICTORIOUS DEAD!

“Who am I, Gamling?”
“You are our king, Sire.”

I remember him from 1982's Gandhi, but more so as the husband in Shirley Valentine.

Loved him in Titanic, mainly in the scene where Captain Smith realizes there’s no one coming to Gondor’s aid in time

I find the “well, remember it’s Korg narrating” is one of those things, where, yes it’s accurate, but it feels like a “it’s SUPPOSED to be bad” excuse?  

What I meant was, the VFX were a symptom of a larger problem. The fact that the movie was so messily put together that so many changes were required so late in the process that the end result is very obvious on screen.

I agree. Thor, at his core, is a very Shakespearean over-the-top character, very gothic. I’m not saying the dour approach that Thor 1 and 2 took was right either, but I think something in between might be the right call.

A fair point, but also note that the award was for “Best Adapted Screenplay” - Taika had guardrails in place for JoJo Rabbit, in the form of the original novel.

I always thought Ragnarok could have had the humor turned down about 10% and been better. Love and Thunder was just too much. Maybe you don’t want to go the full Waititi with these movies. 

Ragnarock trailer revealed Hulk, spoiling an amazing moment. L&T trailer revealed Jane Foster as Thor, which the source material took SIX ISSUES to reveal.

Blame Taika Waititi...he wrote and directed this one as opposed to only directing the previous one. Like Snyder, don’t let him near the writing room.

Sorry, not going to click through. I’m sure slideshows are at least theoretically more profitable, but the reader experience is awful. I am so tired of stuff that could just be, you know, a single article — maybe even not that long of one — turned into a long march through a blizzard of advertisements.

This is what good directors do. Everything in the frame is selected and there for a reason. They don’t say “get a vase of flowers,” they say “get a 9 inch high, 4 inch wide, blue glass vase with 7 pink peonies.” and they have a reason for it.

They can keep Obi-Wan and Falcon, give me Hawkeye please

What is missing is one character who started his or her career in the Republic, carried on through the Empire, and lasted to post-First Order. It looks like Ashoka is the one from the Jedi order, would Thrawn be the one from the other side?

What do you mean? It totally gets mentioned again:
