I thought I was losing interest in the current slate of recent Marvel stuff.. but they got me right back in with the last few titles. Case in point, a second Thor movie from Taika Waititi. With a Thor movie a lot more J Michael Straczynski/Jason Aaron-inspired this time around. Check this out!
Check out this fantastic great new Thor short from Taika Waitit, this one comes from the THOR RAGNAROK home release!
I love how the Grandmaster's basically Jeff Goldblum on a whole new Goldblum-level!
And if you missed the previous original shorts, allow me this great excuse to repost them below. One was a tie-in with Civil War, the other with Doctor Strange:
Here's a new clip for Thor: Ragnarok that comes from Jimmy Kimmel Live, which just shows how much better this new Thor film is shaping up, what with Chris Hemsworth having fun improvising with Taika Waititi.
It seems Taika Waititi did the impossible - he made a great and fun-looking Thor film! I know it's just the teaser trailer, and it only seems to reveal parts of the first act, but this already looks like a lot of fun!
It's both a continuation from the previous two films, and kind of a soft reboot for these films. That plus Waititi's unique style and creative tone, and some of that Guardians of the Galaxy humor might have influenced this film. Plus it's part-Planet Hulk and even has some of The Unworthy Thor (the current comics) in there!! What's more to ask!?!
I cannot wait! Thor: Ragnarok will be out by the end of the year, in November.
Taika Waititi seems to be the perfect director to finally make me care about the Thor films. Don't mistake me, I love the character, I love the cast of these films and I would love to actually enjoy these Thor movies.. but they always come short. The first film had a lot of fun, a great setting.. but nothing much in the final act to make it stand out. It was a nice setup for Thor, Loki and Asgard for the Avengers films, I can tell you that. The Dark World still had great characterization but it was all it had. Aside from that the film was a big mess with no actual proper story and a boring foe/menace throughout the film...
Taika Waititi is the director behind the third film. He's a great funny guy who made some very promising indie and small budget films. Plus he really seems to be having fun making this film - which will actually be a blend of the Ragnarok storyline AND Planet Hulk!!
And he's been making these hilarious little shorts to accompany both Civil War and Doctor Strange. Check these out, they're much better than the two previous Thor films combined!!
I kinda prefer to see Chris Hemsworth do comedy than action roles lately...
There has been several generations of "new mutants" over the years in the comics, but only one decided to actually stick with "New Mutants" as a team name.
"Children of the Atom", mutants born with amazing powers that forever set them apart from mankind:
