Marvel takes a lot of heat from movie fans, but there's something to be said for how their financial position allows them to make very unique films. Executive Kevin Feige hasn't always been the most filmmaker-friendly executive, and his battles with Edgar Wright and Patty Jenkins have particularly turned him into a despised figure in some circles. But the tide seems to be turning at Marvel, and if you watch something like Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 or see the trailer for Black Panther, that doesn't seem like a studio that is playing it safe. Granted, they have a safety net in the trappings and interconnectivity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet there's undoubtedly a growing sense of innovation and visual experimentation at the studio. This is probably best exemplified by Thor: Ragnarok, a film that feels like the complete creation of its director, Hunt for the Wilderpeople genius Taika Waititi. After two middling Thor installments, it appears that Waititi has revived the franchise from irrelevancy and given us the imaginative blast of a movie that we craved all along. Ragnarok looks great, and while the first trailer sold me, I couldn't wait to see more. New trailers forAvengers: Infinity War and Black Panther were kept as Comic-Con exclusives, but Marvel did manage to post the new trailer for Ragnarok online. And yes, it is amazing. Check it out!
What is there to even say after watching a trailer like that? This film just looks awesome in every single way. The cosmic adventures of the MCU have proven to be some of the most entertaining, and Ragnarok looks superior to both previous Thor installments in just about every way. In a universe where we've seen two installments of Guardians of the Galaxy from sci-fi mastermind James Gunn, it's insane to think that this looks like the craziest Marvel film yet. The colors and visual madness on display are incredible, and some of the images in this trailer are straight-up jaw-dropping. It looks like Waititi has crafted something that is beyond gorgeous, and I can't wait to see this crazy sci-fi universe come to life. Marvel's greatest sin in recent years has been their visual staleness, but with this, Guardians, and Black Panther, the studio seems to be overcoming that issue. And in addition to all the beauty on display, this movie just looks like a lot of fun. It's great to see Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner back on screen, and it's even better to see the Hulk actually talking. Chris Hemsworth's Thor and Tom Hiddleston's Loki are always delightful to watch, and it looks like Cate Blanchett is having a blast chewing the scenery as the baddie. I'm all in on Ragnarok. This could be one of Marvel's best yet.
Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters on November 3.
