Watched Thor Ragnarok

It was a rainbow of bullshit coming together really nicely

Somehow all those different kinds of ....aesthetics didn't clash too much at all

Cate Blanchett did a great job, especially in the last moment of Hela's life (wow!)

Not sure why her shoulders were exposed where there should have been shoulder pads surely. But the rest was pretty good

Chris Hemsworth has a nice bod and voice, and gives Thor a lot of likeableness

But Loki!!! I finally understand why all those fangirls went crazy over him. Supremely pretty and actually kind of likeable.

Bruce also for a change had some really nice lines that gave him a lot of personality. Thor's interactions with Bruce and the Hulk were well-played

I laughed out loud at the jokes round the Gamemaker and his second in command

The armour was really good??? Great outfits for Thor and Loki but also the Valkyrie (who still has no name?) with her blue cape. Badass moments holy shit when her ship exploded and they were both like: NO!!! and she landed on theirs. Her second outfit was slightly boobarmoury but barely noticed it. Never noticed whether she had heels on, only noticed the absence of them on the first outfit. EDIT: just remembered that her main outfit actually has hella boob armour but bc they're... Subtly shaped and also one plate I was like: ok. Ok well, I ignore this. It better than normal.

I liked the blatant stuff about Loki actually wanting to be a hero and be loved by his brother

And living up to it!!!

The aesthetics of the Gamemaker's world were super. Just super. Very ....sci-fi but.....what's the right word here? Non-western? Liked that a lot.

I like how indeed, Taika disrupted every self-aware moment of 'cool guy' with fumbling and resultant humour.

The action scenes were cool and fun and looked good as hell.

I LOVED Hela tearing down the lies on the dome of the palace and revealing the conqueror king. She was a cool and uncomplicated adversary. Simply 'the worst' and therefore somebody who needed to be stopped.

The best part was hands down the memories of the Valkyries falling to Hela. Damn....

Korg was a good side character that held both depth and didn't take up too much space.

Heimdall was beautiful.

And everything came together satisfactorily at good pacing. Entertaining and a good story.

What I find so fucking funny and ridiculous is that UK shit news always says 'Pete SLAMMED Harriet, or Pete got SLAMMED, or Harriet SLAMMED the BBC' it's just so damn dramatic sounding lol

The funny thing is that after episode ...three, Rose was 100% prepared for death and 100% prepared to fight for her life, after the parting of the ways Rose was 100% prepared to throw her life at a (hopeless) situation to hold on to the Doctor and their life together, AND after Reunion and especially after The Girl in the Fireplace she was 100% prepared for being abandoned (it had happened at minimum 3 times already) and she was 100% prepared to give everything up to prevent it. But she was ready for it every single second of every day. An absolute madwoman.

That she managed to come back from another dimension? That wasn't out of character at all. It made a lot of narrative sense. That she then went back... Well in a way the argument was made that what made Rose and the Doctor impossible and caused the Doctor's commitment issues and general assholery was the Doctor's fear of the inevitable loss of her. So in a way it made sense. And Rose had accepted a new version of the Doctor once before - that also made sense (and the beat of grief over the loss was implicit - and there was no time for it - but it kind of was necessary explicitly).

But the traveling...I can see why RTD wrote a scene with a TARDIS cutting... But on the other hand, what seperated them wasn't Rose growing old and dying and the Doctor's running from her - it was the danger inherent to the travelling, the lives they lived, the danger that the Doctor exposed her to. So in a way it also makes sense to take the scene out if you want to imply they had a long happily ever after. But it takes the travelling out of their love, it takes a huge bite out of what made them, them. It took an even huger bite out of the Doctor! And so, it was.... All a bit strange and sour and uncertain and . It didn't help that Doctor2 did his suit up differently tbh.
