I really love this stupid movie!


So I flew across country, and before I started playing this movie in-flight, I'd spent a good eight hours in airports and changing planes and getting lost and dragging my heavy carry-on for miles and desperately trying something edible to eat in the goddamn airports and being even more uncomfortable because my shoes were soaking wet.

And then I turned on the in-flight movie player and watched "Thor: Ragnarok", and all the stress and anger melted away as I laughed and goggled! It's such a fun, fun movie, silly and weird and camp and pile of rocks here talking to yer, and actually pretty damn awesome at the end. It's not great cinema, well duh it's a Thor movie, but it's totally enjoyable and what more can one ask.

"It's not great cinema" and yet "All the stress and anger melted away as I laughed and goggled"

What constitutes great cinema if not the ability to transform your mindset?

Some people have a weird aversion to entertainment.

Yeah, it's pretty good for what it is. Probably my favourite entry in the MCU, actually. I prefer the comedic Marvel movies, since the stakes really aren't all that high in the more serious ones.
