Thor: Ragnarok The Official News and Speculation Thread - - Part 11

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Looking forward to the reviews, this is looking great

Sounds like one of those Disney on-set videos. ET just also released some new footage in their segment highlighting Hela. Even an extended look at the Hammer-breaking scene that was reshot.

Absolutely everything concerning Hela looks epic. She is just perfection.

- That Hela vs the Einherjar battle looks like an amazing fight sequence. It's all out mayhem and Hela is just destroying them one by one. That's insane and just shows how insanely powerful and an amazing warrior she really is. She obliterates everything in her path.
- I gotta say that in that footage the green background with the mountains and water... looks much better than before. It may very well work in the context of the movie. They showed the alley again so most likely there is going to be some other scene that plays there as well.
- Hela running at "King Thor" which it may very well be Loki in disguise looks awesome.

Overall extremely happy with the new footage. So much epic goodness!

This is excellent news concerning the movie. That's a full 2 weeks before the movie comes out so it means they are very confident in the final product. If you take a look at the last few Marvel movies that came out through the years and when their respective embargos we're released, the one for TR is one of the earliest to be lifted which in theory bodes really well for the overall quality of the movie.

When the review embargo for MCU movies was released in the last few years:

Captain America: CW - 24 days before release.
Thor Ragnarok - 14 days
Captain America: WS - 14 days
GOTG2 - 11 days
Avengers: AOU - 10 days
Spider-Man: HC - 9 days
Doctor Strange - 9 days
Ant-Man - 9 days
GOTG - 8 days
GOTG - 7 days

The review embargo is on 19th but the social media/reactions embargo is lifting on 8th. Any idea when the social media embargo for the other movies lifted?

I didn't realize and wasn't sure that the social media embargo lifted this Sunday. If that is indeed true then it just shows how very confident they are in the movie. Normally the social media embargo lifts at around 4/5/6 days before the review embargo, at least accordingly to what i saw for some of the other movies.

Got the information from him and he's a senior editor at Vulture, so I'm guessing it's true.

Well that is truly surprising because from what i've read it seems to be very early even for MCU "social-media embargo" standards. It's just great news overall.

 

[StarLord]

Sounds very promising.

Social-media embargo for MCU movies.

Captain America: CW - 28 days before release
Thor Ragnarok - 26 days
Captain America: WS - 24 days
Avengers: AOU - 22 days
Ant-Man - 21 days
GOTG2 - 19 days
Doctor Strange - 16 days
Spider-Man: HC - 14 days
GOTG - 13 days

Again if the date for the lifting of the social-media review embargo is correct that just tells you how very confident they seem to be on the fim.

 

[StarLord]

We've got Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther, Infinity War and Ant-Man and The Wasp over the next 10 months... #HOLYHELL guys and gals.

 

[First Avenger]

Kevin must be super-confident about this one.

 

[Surfer]

This is great news! I am so stoked for this movie right now. If it gets good word of Mouth, I think this movie could have a shot at a billion. It looks fantastic.

[Mjölnir]

I can't wait to hear what the first impressions are. The trailers have clearly crated an unreal social media buzz for this film this far so I hope that the film itself delivers equally well.

NEW FOOTAGE! And in HD... Taika and cast talk about Cate Blanchett's Hela.

Dammit you beat me to it t:

My god does this movie looks EPIC. That footage! Hela!
It's all i could wish for.

I couldn't care much less about that they've changed the place of Hela catching Mjolnir, I don't even know what the story is so I can't have much of an opinion, but the video thumbnail still got me to watch the video, despite that I'm trying not to.

The thumbnail looks really bad, like she's just copy pasted on top of the background, which worried me a little, but when looking at the HD video it looks perfectly fine. It's very easy to be deceived by compression and scaling, which is always wise to keep in mind.

Of course it must also be said yet again; Hela looks like perfection.

 

[StarLord]

Skurge's look is like ''Well...s***. If I don't accept I'm DEAD.''

I know squealing to be wrong, yet it feels so right.

 

[Epona]

All this juicy footage... I'm trying to avoid it not to spoil the movie too much but I just can't help it, I'm too thirsty and twenty days can't pass quickly enough...

Oh, hi.

Hi! I know what you mean- I keep vacillating between going "dark" so I see nothing, and completely spoiling myself so I don't get blindsided.

 

[TeeKay]

Damn that looks great.

 

[HammerDown]

TR exhibit in the Philippines.

Spoiler

Marvel is not playing with their marketing campaign for this movie overseas and it really shows. I'm sure it will translate into great box office results down the line.

 

[HammerDown]

The movie looks stunning.
