iariaIt was fun. I liked it.
+ Lightning!Thor is so great. Loved it's unexpected appearance during the Hulk fight and really loved it during the final battle.
+ Loved the end with Thor, finally now king.
+ I thought Thor and Loki were excellent. Everything about them was wonderful, both their relationship and as individuals, and they were my favourite part.
- 'Odin's' "oh shit" when Thor showed up - LOL!
- I really love that Thor didn't fall for Loki's betrayal this time and had his own plan in place. And yet at the same time completely expected him to show up in Asgard. It was great.
- So that elevator talk was totally calculated on Thor's part, right? It was Thor trying to get to Loki and it succeeded. I loved Loki's expression when Thor said Loki would "get what he always wanted" to get away from Thor, because yeah, nope.
- I loved that Loki was planning to betray the Grandmaster and take over Sakaar - with Thor
- I loved Loki's expression when Odin says "I love you, my sons.". Also the way he casually calls Hela 'our sister'.
- Loki's enraged "I have been falling for 30 minutes" and bringing out his daggers amused me but I really loved Thor's casual holding out his hand to hold Loki back but also not really trying that hard.
- I loved the snake story and Loki's little smirk about it. The whole thing was adorable. And adds a fun dimension to Loki stabbing Thor in Avengers.
+ "It varies from moment to moment." - Loki. LOL. Bruce's scared reaction felt like a bit much.
+ The Thor vs Hulk fight was very fun. I particularly loved Loki's reactions. His fear/anxiety when he realised the Champion was Hulk, his enthusiastic cheering when Hulk beat Thor around exactly as he'd done to Loki, his wincing when Thor was getting his ass kicked. It made the whole scene even better. I loved Thor trying to use Natasha's Hulk calming mantra. Also his happiness when he first saw Hulk was great.
+ I found Bruce less off here than I did in Infinity Wars but still kind of off.
+ Valkyrie was great.
+ Loved the Loki/Valkyrie confrontation. I enjoyed getting to see him fight like that, I like that he fought well but she's simply better and I loved him using magic against her (but that it didn't work). Have we seen him use that ability before?
+ It was very interesting to see Hulk as a person and I'm really curious about how this works. Are Bruce and Hulk two different people trapped in a single body? How did the serum manage to do that?! Or are they one person with his personality split into two forms? And thus the end of Bruce's journey is to reconcile the two different aspects of who he is? I always thought it was more the latter but this movie has me rethinking that.
+ I loved how much Thor mourned the loss of Mjolnir and also his hair. I feel you, dude.
+ The Grandmaster was really fun and it was clear that Goldblum was having a ball with the role.
+ Grandmaster/Loki is absolutely a thing that was happening. Basically sugar daddy Grandmaster is what I got from all their interactions.
+ I always appreciate how the movies do their best to give us half-naked Thor.
+ I really loved that shot of Valkyrie and Loki walking towards the Grandmaster on the mirrored floor. Great, great visual.
+ I liked Strange's appearance. I enjoyed him quickly shifting Thor throughout the sanctum because he really didn't need to but I enjoyed him being all dramatic. It makes me think of a bird making himself bigger and more impressive to scare off a rival. Also his exasperated expression when Loki threatened him and noping them out of them was great.
+ "Don't touch anything." re: the orgy ship, LOL!
+ I loved Bruce bringing up Tony. And complaining about how tight his pants are.
+ I'm amused that upon getting the power of Asgard's king Loki decided to lounge around creating plays and statues to lionize himself and that was basically it. Still not a good king but not particularly nefarious.
+ Odin choosing to banish Thor until he proved himself worthy in Thor 1 makes even more sense now that we know about Hela and how things played out with her.
+ So if Thor has unlocked his great power, tied into his 'godhood', does this mean that Loki could also have a greater power tied somehow to 'mischief'?
+ Valkyrie states that like Hela Thor's powers are tied to Asgard but then we got lightning!Thor in Infinity War, so??
+ Watching this definitely makes the beginning of Infinity War much more of a gut punch. They had already lost so much. So many people died that Asgard's population fit entirely on that one ship and knowing what they face next... :(
+ I was annoyed that Thor and Jane apparently broke up off-screen. And all we got was Thor joking about it being mutual.
+ I also didn't like how quickly the Warriors Three were killed off, though at least Hogun got to actually fight back. Or that Thor apparently never thought of them once.
+ Lightning!Thor is so great. Loved it's unexpected appearance during the Hulk fight and really loved it during the final battle.
+ Loved the end with Thor, finally now king.
