#like yeah I get people's complaints about him being uncool and all the other similar complaints about how the new albums approach plots

Fascinating energy coming from Murdoc in the Pac-Man MV. Giving off the same vibes as that cat at your cousin's place who's extremely skittish when strangers are in the house & will stay in a vacant room for hours until said strangers are gone so it can continue to eat its food and shit in the litterbox in peace.

Saw Ragnarok and here’s some thoughts

As in a lot of thoughts

sorry

For my non-spoiler overview:

It was a solid film- I’d say my favorite of the Thor films. Like, I got most of the appeal of the previous ones but they both felt fairly similar and ended up being a bit boring at times? Also a lot of great humor.

One thing I was incredibly pleased with was how they did Loki. I feel bad ripping on him all the time but he is a shitty person and this movie really acknowledged that?  Like, the way everyone really pointed out how crummy he’s been and dragging him really made him far more appealing. So when it actually got to the emotional points between him and Thor I actually cared? Mind you, this was literally the first time I felt something in an emotional scene with Loki in the MCU so that speaks volumes for me. So good job there.

For my spoiler overview:

Ok, so this is going to be almost entirely about Bruce- I got a lot to say on that so sorry it’s gonna be so specific.

It was great to see Bruce again (Hulk too!)- his snarky attitude was very relatable and I’m glad they took a moment to at least explain where he’s been. I will say that learning he’s been the Hulk and in this place for two years is really depressing to hear? I kinda wish they took more time to let Bruce get through that and everything. Like, I get that this movie is about Thor saving Asgard from complete destruction but it really felt like it was like: “So that’s what happened to you? Ok cool, now back to my problems.” I guess that just felt uncool because Thor, Valkyrie and Loki all got their moments to deal with their emotional struggles but not Bruce? That being said, I’m the sorta person that wants all members of the main character group to have all their things resolved by the end of the film but that’s me I guess.

Not only that, but to hear him say that if he turned again he might not turn back and then at the end we only see the Hulk is really messed up? That being said, it’s the most Bruce thing for him to say that and then the second tons of people are in trouble he’ll sacrifice himself again. I’m just sad that he does so much for everyone and suffers so much and yet no one really cares? At least that’s what it felt like. I will say that, despite all that build up, there’s no way Bruce won’t be in Infinity War, so whatever.

I guess my general complaint was that I’m glad he was here but they really didn’t seem to give him much? Again, a lot of it was about bringing up his problems then throwing them to the side and that hurt.

I’m basically beating a dead horse by saying this, but I’m sick of Bruce’s treatment in everything always being “tragedy just for tragedy sake”. Like, so many times it feels like the stuff Bruce gets put through is not for him to conquer and grow as a person from, but rather, that bad things just happen to him because that’s all his story is and we have to accept that. After experiencing Bruce’s story both in the comics and the MCU, all I really want is for Bruce to be treated more like most of his other fellow heros. I want to see Bruce get knocked down and struggle, but still get up in the end- to have friends to really lean back on, to have a home, to have at least something. My big example is that all the other main heros of the MCU will have their problems, (I’m not trying to say their problems are irrelevant just because of Bruce’s,) but at least they each have something even in those dark moments. Bruce never gets that and it’s really not fair. What I feel like Bruce and the Hulk can be in the Marvel Universe is so much bigger than how it’s used and I just wish that’d come to be real.

But yeah, sorry, this is probably a lot of the same complaints you’ve heard me spew but I still wanted to say it.

Also, some final, really dumb last thoughts:

I’m so, so tired, that they’re still throwing hints of Bruce and Nat being a thing? Like, it was already such an empty and rather messed up concept to begin with but I really don’t see why it’s still being kept up? Like, the biggest argument I’ve heard from people being for it was that “At least Bruce is happy!” but it really still doesn’t feel that way? Yes, I want Bruce to be happy too, but not at the expense of pasting a creepy romantic relationship that really feels like it doesn’t fit in this universe.

Also

I can’t believe Loki threw Odin in a retirement home though like wasn’t that wild.
