Thor: Ragnarok The Official News and Speculation Thread - Part 8

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think i spotted Miek. Right behind Korg in the scene in movement you see a small creature with blades for hands fighting also next to Loki.
In the image you can actually see one of the blades.

Shame we are only getting a couple of Warbound. Would have been great to see them all.

It is a Thor movie after all, have to keep things in perspective.

The "embodiment" of death is a concept that would be entirely foreign to a large percentage of kids who will also be watching these films.

Given the continuity it would be kind of senseless to have one character who is the Goddess of Death and then right after it have someone else who is also death-related. IMO it's just not likely they unspool two different characters given how closely Ragnarok and IW tie in.

The embodiment of death would be a strange concept? Haven't kids heard of the grim reaper? The embodiment of death is a concept as old as humanity.

Having death and hela might be confusing but they could easily explain it. We know that asgardians are not actual gods.

That doesn't mean that hela can't take deaths role in the infinity films. But the infinity gems had to be created and by the looks of it (tomb in gotg) the creators are infinity, eternity, death and entropy. If you then say that hela is death it lessons all 4 to beings our heroes can fight.

Karl Urban as Skurge...he looks badass hell he looks really menacing as Skurge opposite Cate Blanchett's Hela who looked even more terrifying in the official trailer as Hela

Thor says he has been on a journey of self discovery so I wonder what this journey of self discovery entails? I mean I wonder if Thor even kept up with the events of Civil War or even knows about any of it

By all means - continue to fight the obvious.

Jane related and losing his hammer. I don't think he knows about the Civil War.

 

[Suzanne78]

I second that. It's a work of art in itself.

This was just breathtaking, watching this in motion in the trailer.

I've never had any compulsion to constantly rewatch any Thor trailer, but I've had these two trailers on pretty much nonstop for a while. Both are stunning and hilarious.

 

[Tg11]

The end of everything...Ragnarok...which Thor, Loki, Hulk and Valkyrie have to try to stop but that being said I wonder if Grandmaster if he will be a one and done type of villain or if we will see him again going forward

 

[Lilbaz]

By all means - continue to fight the obvious.

Did you read all of the post? I'm saying that hela could well take deaths role in the infinity films. But if we don't have an embodiment of death somewhere down the line then we don't get eternity etc... or if we do they will be so nerfed there is no point.

 

[Tg11]

Plus to see Hela go up not only against just Thor but all the other heroes of the MCU I would love to see that

 

[legendkillin]

I don't think he is a villain, he is the same as Collector. They are in the middle and do what they can to survive, they have their own interest.

During the panel they said him and the Collector are brothers. Both are the oldest beings in the universe and were born from a big bang. I see them playing a Watcher type role. They have seen everything going on and know what is ahead.

The extra little sprinkle on top after this panel was Joe Russo being asked which pairing of characters he felt was surprisingly good in Infinity War, and he answered that Thor and Star-Lord was something he really liked. A sign that Thor hopefully keeps getting love in those movies.

 

[Tg11]

Thor and Star Lord/Quill would be great comedic timing

Oh good to know.

That's interesting. It makes sense. They seem like two characters who would get along and play off of one another in entertaining ways.

 

[Nathaniell]

And funny enough...I love those two plus Cap. I wonder if we'll see the three of them interact much with one another.

 

[Flemm]

And funny enough...I love those two plus Cap. I wonder if we'll see the three of them interact much with one another.

Well, Cap and Thor have a pretty strong bond in the comics, but the way the movie-verse has developed, we haven't had a chance to see too much of that.

A little in the Avengers movies, but nothing big so far.

 

[legendkillin]

I don't see Cap being in the joking mood during this.

Spider-Man should be fun since he did that impersonation in his movie. Star-Lord is also a big kid so him and Spidey should get along fine. I know he will get ripped about that Zune.

 

[Finarfiniel]

By all means - continue to fight the obvious.

Some can't seem to accept the fact that Infinity War isn't going to be a direct adaption of Infinity Gauntlet, despite the fact that no Marvel movie has ever been a faithful adaption of it's source, not even close.

Having Thanos in love with Hela in this universe just makes so much more sense that it's undeniable. I mean, look at her:

That is definitely a woman to destroy the universe over.

 

[Nathaniell]

Oh ...yeah....damn. well...hopefully there will be a little bit of room for some bro bond between the two and im sure Steve would like to know what Thor has been up to...like hey...where were you when Tony and I had a falling out?

 

[Nathaniell]

Oh i agree with you there on that. But i meant during moments that are serious. I am sure Cap has questions for Thor and vise versa

 

[Lilbaz]

Hulk and rocket would be fun. Can see the place get trashed and hulk being guided by someone with little morals could be interesting.

Just take my money damnit!!

Bucky and Rocket you know Rocket likes artificial body parts.

Again read my post fully. I have no problem with hela taking deaths role in infinity war. But she cannot be the embodiment of death or one of the 4 cosmic entities that created the infinity stones (as seen in the temple vault on morag in gotg).

I would like to see at some point (maybe not the infinity films) death, eternity, infinity, the living tribunal etc... hela is not on their level of power.

I don't mind if thanos is in love with her, i don't mind if they change the infinity story completely. But hela is not a cosmic entity a being of infinite power in the universe. If she was thor ragnarok would be a very short film.
