Sir, this is a Wendy's.

This is not a hot take. 

Okoye and W’Kabi’s marriage definitely feels like something hastily written into the script in order to justify the end of the battle. 

What? Are you an idiot?! I’d have put all the good ones higher and all the bad ones lower!

I am SO GODDAMN OUTRAGED that I basically agree with most of this and don’t have a chance to write a sarcastic spittle-flecked list of all my problems with it.

Nothing against the writers, but I hate ranked lists, because I feel like they have continually reference the movie’s placement in the ranking as they are writing about it, and punch up the praise or critique accordingly.

I get it - this is for clicks in the lead-up to the movie, not really for readers.

This movie turned Serious Thor into Earnest Thor, which worked wonders. He still felt the responsibility of his kingdom, but he still can’t help but wonder if a business card is his shape-shifting-trickster brother. This time it was both his muscles AND his heart that were bigger than his brain. It was a simple but…

YES!!! THAT’S HOW IT FEELS!

True.  It’s a nice nod to the comics, but at its core, it’s a meaningless moment that only gains gravitas because Karl Urban is able to bring some.

Forgot “I am Iron Man”, “I can do this all day”, “We have a Hulk” or “We are Groot”.

“Piss off Ghost”

Chris Hemsworth is a really funny guy but I feel like directors were hesitant to use him that way because of how he looks.  Ragnorak is better for not falling into that trap.

I know the plot of the movie is very different than that run, but I wish they’d found a way to work in “He stood alone at Gjallerbru...” I’ve always thought that was one of the great “comic lit” lines, along with “Ultron. We would have words with thee.”

One thing I really liked about this movie is how they used it to give us a little window into what it’s like for a regular person to live in the MCU.  From the “Fuck, Marry, Kill” game to the bank robbers wearing Avengers masks, those little touches really help to flesh out that world.

One of the great ironies is that he latches onto Tony as a father figure, but everything he does screams Cap.

That Peter Parker is a menace!

If it helps at all the network they’ve joined really only pushes the pledge requests to two weeks of the year. So you get about two episodes of that for a weekly show.

but also can’t necessarily think of many more scenes from this movie that are worth highlighting.

best I can muster for anything with Captain America or Thor in it is a big ol’ shrug

I tried to pitch Caroline on doing an Avengers-style team-up with Tom to cover My Super Ex-Girlfriend (a movie I haven’t seen and, from what I understand, is on precisely no one’s list of good, important, or influential rom-coms or superhero movies), but alas, it was not to be.
