Man how far has Thor fallen when most expected and wanted a Thor movie to be a comedy
I would have preferred they adapt another story then. As a fan of the mythology, as well as the comics, Ragnarok is a story that needs to be handled a bit more seriously. It's supposed to be a tragic epic/swansong for the Asgardians, not some slapsitck comedy. Ragnarok is a good movie, but I don't see myself coming back to it the way I do films like Winter Soldier and Civil War.
Exactly, it's not like MCU can't do these storylines without taking it serious because you can see the Capt movies and that's what you want
I feel like they are afraid to try something different other than the formulae.
Wonder woman fails in what it wants to be. Thor achieves the goals it sets.
And that is?.
To be inspirational and dark.
I think it is inspirational. That is subjective anyway. Dark?. When was that a goal?. It was more coloful than the previous DC movie, and focused on portraying a positive, naive and charming fish out of water for a reason.
Didn't say my opinion was fact. If you liked Wonder woman that's great, but to me the moments supposed to be inspirational made me laugh.
Both were really good, but as for now Thor. I would need to see Thor another time once the hype dies down because this year I have enjoyed every superhero movie more on a re-watch and I'm wondering if Thor will be the same.
I really can't cast a vote at the moment. I thoroughly enjoyed both films. Wonder Woman, I kinda expected to enjoy because of the great word of mouth I heard before seeing the film...
But my enjoyment of "Thor: Ragnorok" was a complete-and pleasant-surprise.
I'm going to have to give this a little more thought...
I thought Thor Ragnarok was good and one of the better MCU movies, but the constant use pratfalls and slapstick that interrupted the more dramatic or emotional scenes really did get on my nerves. I have nothing against comedy movies but this one should have let some jokes stay cut because they didn't fit where they were.
And besides that, I do tend to prefer movies that can be a good balance of comedy and drama. That's why the Captain America movies are my favorite of the MCU film and honestly why I liked Wonder Woman more than Thor Ragnarok. It knew when it was okay to be funny and it knew when to just let a scene play out without a joke being thrown in of the sake of having a joke. And to be honest, while I liked all the main characters in Thor Ragnarok (I'm especially glad the Tho and Loki relationship was still very strong, as that was the best part of the first two movies), I just feel like Wonder Woman did a better job in getting me to care about their characters, maybe simply due to the lack of constant slapstick that would have told me these characters were in no real danger.

This, Ragnarok had a terrible timing with its countless jokes.
really liked them both but I think Wonder Woman is a bit overrated, i think it’s because WW is the only good DCEU movie. For that reason I prefered Ragnarok
@monsterstomp: Lmfao. That’s the best you got boy? I’m a firefighter we verbally abuse each other everyday day. Get that weak shit out of here. While your at it get back in the kitchen.
Neither are anything to write home about, but I feel like Thor Ragnorok had more style. It seemed like it's own movie, confident in what it wanted to be. Wonder Woman, on the other hand, is like this timid litmus test of a movie that cherry picks what works.
Ragnarok is one of Marvel's better movies in a long time for me but Wonder Woman had that extra something Thor lacked. Plus the ending of Thor was predictable from early on. Both solid enjoyable movies though.
