Thor: Ragnarok review
Nov. 3rd, 2017 09:35 amDespite laughing at the trailer, I was going in to see this with a grudge. Yes, I understood with my head that they needed a new direction for Thor after ‘The Dark World’ and whatever was going on with him in ‘Age of Ultron’. It’s also been borne out to me by this film that Marvel phase whatever-it-is is going in a more cosmic, out-there direction. But did they have to cut Jane (and by extension Darcy)? I loved them! I had got invested in Jane/Thor, and as Bruce-Hulk were turning up in this, I was being denuded of Jane and Bruce talking science (there was a scene where wormholes were discussed that gave me a pang) and actually seeing Bruce meet Darcy.
Out of the cut, the film did entertain (not as much as GotG: 2), but I did have issues over the representation of women (there are only three speaking parts who appear more than once, IIRC), and although the tone is different, the familial stuff is not that revolutionary.
