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

[Kevin Roegele]

Things I'm most excited about....

- Cate Blanchett as Hela
- The Jack Kirby influence
- Planet Hulk elements
- Jeff Goldblum
- The Executioner
- Fenris Wolf
- Sutur

Things I'm dubious about...

- Changing Thor himself and the tone of the series a bit too much.
- Still no Beta Ray Bill

 

[Serban]

i wonder if Thanos is even mention in this movie or in post credits

 

[RoastBeast]

Have any of you guys noticed that in the BG of one of the clips they released,

Spoiler

there's this giant mural with what appears to be Odin and Hela standing next to each other and she's holding mjolnir in her right hand? There was one of Loki and Frigga next to that one too

[/IMG]
It's got me thinking that her and Odin are somehow related and that she might have been the original owner of mjolnir? Odin's daughter/sister/ex-gf??? Tbh I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I buy her being Loki's mother more so than I do her being related to Thor just because they look so similar .

Edit: I think it may have something to do with these photos, either she changed them? Or this was a paint job to cover up the old painting? I feel she really might end up being Odin's daughter

Maybe that's why ...

Spoiler

There's that moment when she messes up the fresco ceiling- it is covering up Odin's 'first family' and that would actually fit in with the ancient mythology. And to take it to the full extent, since Laufey is there which is odd, Odin married his firstborn, a daughter, to Laufey and that would make her... yeah, that could be a surprise. And what I wouldn't give for Thor to be able to make Loki call him 'Uncle Thor' ha! I mean, really, Odin would just pick up a random baby?

Okay, that's pretty nuts, but I had fun.

Oh, and hi! I just noticed that was post #1

What spoilers?

There are some Infinity War Part I spoilers circulating on the net, heavy spoilers that give up major plot points on the movie. It's not sure they're real, but, appareantly, they're from the same source that leaked accurate spoilers of previous marvel films. A couple of said spoilers could really give up the aftermath of events of Thor Ragnarok, so look it up on your on account if you're curious.

Are they based on the leaked Infinity War footage from sdcc?

I do not know, actually, I don't remember where I've read them.

 

[Surfer]

Saw this on Twitter. Wonder if it’s legit or not.


Could someone open a “Rotten Tomatoes/Early reviews and social media impressions”? Soon we should be getting plenty of stuff related to that and it would be great to have it sorted in a specific area so it would be easier to go through and also we could assemble all the related information there.

And a “Spoilers” thread would also be a welcome addition since we should also be getting more and more spoilery stuff coming out. If someone could open these 2 new threads it would be great. Thank you in advance.

Per your request I have created both threads pending information to be added to them.

- Still no Beta Ray Bill

Could be Sam Neill.

Skurge knows better... She is menacing.

 

[StarLord]

Poor Skurge.

 

[RoastBeast]

Poor Skurge.

I had a day like that at work once.

 

[HKpowerup]

I'm convinced the Thor vs. Hulk fight goes down like this:
- either Hulk soundly defeats a Thor who wasn't fighting, or was not capable of fighting at 100% (i.e. no lightning, etc.) or,
- it ends up in some kind of draw after Thor does some serious damage to Hulk's armour (or completely destroys it) using lightning-charged strikes.

 

[Finarfiniel]

Skurge knows better... She is menacing.

They got the line wrong, she actually says "You look like a smart boy", not guy. That's so much more condescending and so much more Hela, talking to a huge, strong warrior like Skurge like he's nothing more than a child. t:

Sitting here waiting for the social media embargo to lift like:

 

[Loki882]

Well she's also most likely FAR older than him (given how she's been described so far), so to her he likely is "just a boy" by comparison.

 

[HammerDown]

I think this moment from Thor is so funny but subtle. Just the way he delivers those lines.
I see a lot more freedom given to Chris Hemsworth and his confidence is clear in the way he is much more expressive and more charismatic.

"You're just... the worst." I absolutely love Hemsworth's delivery there. t:

 

[HammerDown]

Marketing in Japan.

 

[First Avenger]

It's crazy that I see Hemsworth as Thor even without long hair lol

 

[HammerDown]

Taiwan.

 

[StarLord]

Reminds me of the scene in The Avengers when he's trying to break out of that glass prison.

 

[IAmAsgardian]

Is there a specific time set for the social media embargo?

It's true. The ABC network here in America has been running the commercial for the appearances.

I'm sure we will learn that both Hulk and Thor will be under the influence of the 'obedience disks'. I doubt there will be a clear victor but if so, there will be some extenuating circumstances behind it.

Nice catch!

Spoiler

Could it be that Hela was once worthy?

 

[Mjölnir]

That wouldn't matter in the past since [BLACKOUT]that aspect of Mjolnir was created by Odin during the first Thor.[/BLACKOUT]
