Ok, I have been trying to think of a concise way to describe how I feel about this movie, but I’m just going to have to be nit picky for now. There’s just too many little things to unpack.
#1 Infinity Conez
*sigh* Where do I even begin?
While this is a tiny, inconsequential bit in the movie, it just was a clear reminder that this movie doesn’t get it. Rather than honor and continue what has come before it, this movie chooses to just make fun of it all and do their own thing. In what world would Thor go from depression and grieving over Thanos and the infinity stones and then be okay with turning it into a tourist treat? It’s just weird!
New Asgard is a community of Asgardian refugees and survivors. In the beginning of Infinity War, we see Thanos wipe out half of the people on the vessel. It is gruesome. It is horrific.
It does not get fixed after the blip. Those people are still lost. By Thanos. By the infinity stones. The friends and families of those taken are now living in New Asgard to have a fresh start and cope with what has taken place.
So why would they be okay with giving this guy a funny ice cream stand?
When he killed half of their people? Tortured their would-be king and murdered their prince?
Sounds to me like this movie doesn’t care. This movie chooses to ignore that fact and make this a nonsensical thrill ride while ignoring the history, grandeur, and legacy of the Asgardians.
