Cate Blanchett is the Mysterious & Powerful Villainess HELA! - Part 1

[Iceman]

She looks awesome in those mo-cap shots.

 

[Finarfiniel]

if she is Death then she suffered the biggest nerf in MCU history.

As I've explained before, I'm not saying that she is Death, just that they'll change it up in the MCU and have Thanos be in love with Hela, the Goddess of Death rather than Death herself. It would hardly be the first time that the MCU has changed things up from the comics to streamline events and characters.

that would take away the uniqueness of IW.

 

[Finarfiniel]

Nah, not really. Only for the real comic book purists who are an extremely tiny minority of the film's audience, no one else. IW will not be and was never going to be a completely accurate adaptation of Infinity Gauntlet. Name me one MCU movie that is a perfect, page for page adaptation of it's comic source material? I'll wait. They will have taken the basic bones of the IG storyline and created their own story around it that fits better into this universe, like the MCU always has done since it's inception.

yeah, true but they cannot completely change everything.

plus, Thanos doesn't need IG to impress Hela.

it made sense in the comics.

they will have pull something MAJOR to pull this off.

 

[CaptainMarvel19]

plus, it's kinda weird for Thanos to be in love with Thor's older.

it seems... off.

 

[HammerDown]

One of the sexiest shots in the hole movie.

 

[Nathaniell]

Omg im...at a loss for words. I love this film.

 

[All-Father]

Actually, they can. And they have done that a lot.

 

[Wildcard]

One of the sexiest shots in the hole movie.

Damn she's way too stunning for words to ever amicably describe.

 

[CaptainMarvel19]

Actually, they can. And they have done that a lot.

yeah, for the most part, unfortunately.

 

[Nathaniell]

Actually, they can. And they have done that a lot.

Of course they have. Not every general audience member reads the comics or are familiar with a comic book characters back story. At times you have to make some adjustments that will make sense for any film version. Its called adaptation and yeah when it comes to adapting these sort of genres...there are going to be changes made for the film version to work.

Comicbooks though can be hard to adapt exactly from page to screen if they stick to that formula. The outcome could be good at best or just downright awful depending on who's writing and directing it.

 

[Finarfiniel]

One of the sexiest shots in the hole movie.

One of?

Good lord, just look at her. That face, that body, that outfit... Just incredible. And apparently it would be 'weird' if Thanos was into that? Uh no, it would be weird if he wasn't.

yeah, for the most part, unfortunately.

I'll have to respectfully disagree with you there. The MCU has proven repeatedly that their way of loosely adapting elements from comics to the screen works. A serialised comic book is an incredibly different medium to a feature film that has severe time restrictions. Marvel Studios aren't going to change their way of adapting comic storylines now considering that it's worked perfectly for the past 10 years.

personally, I prefer the comics.

the story and characters are way better.

MCU is good.

awesomeness of Thor and Odin in the comics.

I still remember Odin vs Galactus!!!

I gotta agree with you there, as much as I love the MCU pales in comparison to the comics especially concerning Thor characters.

Comic book Odin was a BEEEEEEEEEEEEAST, MCU Odin is an embarassment and is one of the most nerfed film CBM characters of all time.

I love both for different reasons, liking one doesn't negate the other. The MCU diverting from the comics storylines doesn't lessen the original comics or stop them from existing, so I've never fully understood the position of the real comic book purists, despite being a comic fan myself.

Yes, she is unbelivable gorgeous! I've never been so attracted to a female villain before.
It's startling how she can make so different characters as Galadriel and Hela both so great.

Such is the power of Cate Blanchett, she isn't a seven time Oscar nominee (two time winner) and considered as one of the greatest actors alive for nothing. She is a complete chameleon, if you watched Ragnarok and then something like 'Carol' or 'Blue Jasmine' back to back and didn't know it was the same actress in both, you'd never ever guess.

Ace delivery. t:

never said that MCU is completely bad because of comics.

some stuff could have been better (Odin, Amora, Thor etc).

gotta agree with you there, as much as I love the MCU is pales in comparison to the comics especially concerning Thor characters.

yep, this.

 

[Finarfiniel]

never said that MCU is completely bad because of comics.

I never said that you said that. I'm just reiterating what I've already pointed out, that an ongoing comic book and a movie made for the mass audience are two incredibly different mediums. A movie has severe time constraints, it can never spend as much of that precious time developing and showcasing supporting characters like Odin as a comic book storyline can, it doesn't have that luxury. Trying to cram too much into a two hour movie would make that movie incredibly messy and confusing for the general audience. So in my mind, it is simply unrealistic to expect that all the characters in the MCU are going to get the same amount of focus and badass moments as their counterparts do in the comics.

Anyway, this has become off topic, so if you want to continue discussing it you should probably take it to the general thread. Back to Hela...

 

[HammerDown]

That hole exchange with Skurge about what meant being a executioner had me laughing hard. It's all in CB delivery. She is so freaking good.

showcasing Odin vs Surtur in he flashback for 3 minutes would make me happy but you're right, back to Hela.

 

[Finarfiniel]

This has to be the coolest way of entering a hidden vault ever committed to film:

So much damn swagger. My perfect badass goth queen.

The whole damn scene is my favorite. Love her

 

[HammerDown]

 

[Finarfiniel]

^ I love the look on her face in that scene as she's looking at Asgard, she's like 'Playtime, *****es'. t:

This is so awesome, Heladriel:

Hela vs. Dark Galadriel (with the One Ring) would be ridiculously epic, I have absolutely no clue who would win.
