For those of us who watched other Marvel movies - does this movie do anything but more of the same? Any growth of any kind or are we all in agreement that these movies are going to be the same ole formula with a creeping amount of humor to break up any dramatic scenes?
Yeah that really pissed me off about Ragnarok even though I enjoyed it, I'm glad that they placed the jokes in better spots in this movie to not ruin the tone of scenes
It's the same basic plot setup and story beats but I thought there was enough interesting stuff layered on top of that to make it enjoyable.
The humour is much lower compared to something like Thor 3, still jokes every now and then but not distracting. The serious moments are allowed breathing room.
There is a lot of focus on the villain (which is good because the Marvel villains are usually lacking). There are some political undertones and interesting themes. It's definitely less "cookie-cutter" than other Marvel films, IMO.
Eh? There is a decent amount of growth in the characters, and I really appreciated how compelling the antagonist was, but I wasn't really blown away by this movie. It's a great marvel movie, but just simply a good one by actual film standards outside of the superhero bubble. It's nothing super special.
The seriousness of the tone is very much kept intact. Overall it feels more like an attempt at making a drama with strong focus on the characters as people and giving them lots of three dimensionality and internal life.
