I do not think they wanted to pay all of the worriers three, and one did contribute to the first major fight vs. Hela. Apparently, Jaimie Alexander was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts with her TV show. I am floored that Thor 3 is going to end up the 5th highest grossing Marvel movie. Oh, I realize her show got in the way. Spoiler But bring some clarity to her absence when hell is raining down on her people. This would be an all-hands situation to help them survive the destruction of the gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts Thor 3 ahead of The Incredible Hulk ($132m), Captain America: The First Avenger ($176m), Ant-Man ($180m), Thor ($181m) and Thor: The Dark World ($206m). That 54% second-weekend drop is right in the healthier realm of “normal” for the MCU. It’s bigger than Doctor Stranger (-49%). But it’s smaller than Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (-55%), Thor: The Dark World (-57%), Ant-Man (-56%) and Spider-Man: Homecoming (-62%). Speaking of overseas, the $180 million sequel has earned well over $650 million worldwide. The film is now past every pre-Avengers MCU movie (along with Ant-Man and Thor: The Dark World) and on the cusp of passing Doctor Strange ($677m). At this juncture, a total over the $714m cume of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy ($773m) is certain although (especially with Justice League on the horizon) a total over Guardians 2 ($863m) and Spider-Man: Homecoming ($879m) may be a bridge too far. Or maybe not, as it should have close to $750 million global by next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 007 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Just saw it. Fantastic movie and I loved all the little Marvel hints. Went on line and missed a lot of easter eggs as well. Can't wait to see it again. One of my Fav marvel movies of all time. IMO - ties w/ CA: Winter Soldier as #1.

ComicConnoisseur Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 This the deal though why can't Thor in the comic books be this cool? This Thor has a great personality.

woowoo Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) I liked the movie. I have read the last 10 pages and No 1 thinks its great that Stan Lee is still Marvel comics all the way . Give me some like's if you like Stan Lee he has done a lot for Marvel comic's and that's why we have great movie's now people like Stan Lee Jack Kirby.

spracknetch23 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I really enjoyed this movie tonight. Dare I say, better than Spider-man Homecoming? It moved right along. I wasn't bored at all. I laughed quite a bit. The Hulk was awesome. No complaints really. Also, Tessa Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsylockeSmythe Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Saw this over the weekend with the wife and our grandson. My wife didn't like it and she liked the previous 2 Thor movies; she was ready to walk out after the 1st 40 minutes. She didn't like the humor and felt that the humor was crude and stupid. The grandson loved it and thought it was funny. I just felt it was alright. While I liked some of the humor I didn't care for other parts of the humor that was in the movie.

Drummy Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Although her character was one-dimensional, Blanchett really took 'boring' lines and made something of them. I loved how she did, 'Kneel...before your queen' to Thor and Loki. Captured much more than the line itself. Hope to see her again in 'Infinity War'.

They don't love it at this level though as Thor can't break 20,000 in sales a month. This movie might do a billion at the box office. I think the last time Thor sold well was Simonson and a lot had to do with the comic book Thor being replaced by Beta Ray Bill. This Thor in the movies is way more interesting than the Thor in the comics by a mile. That's what gets me. I will go pick up the latest Thor comics and I know I will be disappointed I won't get the movie version.

If every character sounded like Spider-Man from the comics (which is basically how all the movie characters sound - pretty much all the same) then Marvel Comics wouldn't have made it out of the 1960s. It might not make for an entertaining movie, but it definitely made for interesting comic books. Edited November 16, 2017 by rjrjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I thought Thor was a fun watch from beginning to end. I thought Cate Blanchett was really good (and she was even hot in costume - not a way I'm used to thinking of CB ). I liked the story. One thing I did not like is that there was too much humor. They could have toned it down for some of the serious battle scenes. Other than that, I enjoyed it. Ken Aldred and ComicConnoisseur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
