    Probably better for her to have missed it.
    If you consider how Warrior Three were so ruthlessly killed off, with zero emotional impact, Sif probably would have met the same fate. Thor didn’t even seem to notice his friends had been killed.

    So many big things happened in this film. But it was buried under comedy, you never really felt the full impact. Some of the consequences of this film lead me to believe that Infinity War will act as a soft reboot for the MCU.
    Offing those lads was super-quick. I'm guessing Ray Stevenson &
    Zachary Levi must have been paid a full appearance fee for showing up in which case that's a handy half-day's work. They're on-screen for about 15 seconds.
    :rolleyes:

    Not the right thread for this but how did they not go with
    John Cena
    there especially when you have The Rock playing Black Adam. With the right script played more for laughs that could have been amazing.

    Mind-blown.

    My friend was much worse yesterday when he realised Dr. Bashir from Deep Space 9 and Gaius from Battlestar Galactica are actually two different people.

    I'm glad the Hulk had more lines to say than "Hulk Smash!"

    Out of all 4 of Thor's merry men and woman. The only character name I remember is The Lady Sif and that's only because she's been in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D twice. And I consider myself a pretty decent MCU fan.

    Didn't help that they were always referred to as "Lady Sif and the Warriors Three"

    I only remember their names due to the comics, not the MCU.

    Wait - is it actually a common misconception that they're the same person? Completely unrelated to Thor, sure, but still.

    How did we go from Thor Ragnarok to Deep Space Nine actor James Callis?

    That's right. His uncle is Malcolm McDowell, who played Soran in Star Trek: Generations.

    I just discovered that Alexander Siddig's real name is Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abderrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi.

    I can see why he changed it.

    And back to Thor. It's a great movie.

    Wasn't Siddig one of the warriors three?

    Saw this today, it was good but felt there was potential there for it to be great, the best part was the fight scene between Hulk and Thor. The comdedy and light hearted tone killed it's potential, it could have been so much more if there was more gravity to the characters, more menace and a darker tone.

    A lot of the kudos this movie has achieved is for the exact reasons you didn't like this one. Did you prefer the first two?

    I imagine Marvel Studios took one look at the success of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and decided that the lighter tone for the space stories seems to be what the audience want.

    TBH Thor #1 had a light-hearted tone that came close to #3, though #1 was a bit more campy. Thor #2 went for the more grittier feel, but I think they saw people didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much. Plus it didn't do anywhere near as well as they probably thought it would - making only $20m more than #1.

    So they probably realised that, with the Thor movies, lighter tone work best.

    For me the removed the worst part of the 1st two thor movies , The Human element , It wasn't too bad in the 1st but it absolutely ruined Dark World which I really liked , One minute you had Malekeith murdering asguardians and the next they were cutting to Selvig running around naked and it focusing on Jane with the Aether , That should have been Sif's story
