Took me a half-minute to decide I was looking at Thor's hammer.


I was a big Thor fan when I was a kid, so it seems like a long time to wait over 6 months for it to come out on Netflix.

Thor and Xmen were my go-to comics, too. I think they did a better than average job on the first Thor. Haven't seen any since. But will definitely look at them, with so many to choose from now.

Sony Pictures seems like it is responding to falling ticket sales by making Spider man into an Animated character.
Spider-Man 69,484,700 5/3/2002 ~ August 1962
Spider-Man 2 60,158,700 6/30/2004
Spider-Man 3 48,914,300 5/4/2007
The Amazing Spider-Man 33,677,900 7/3/2012
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 24,363,300 5/2/2014
Spider-Man: Homecoming 37,418,200 7/7/2017
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (3D) December 14, 2018

Of the individual Marvel characters, it seems like the minor ones are proving the bigger ticket draws at the movies. I barely remember Black Panther from the (comic dated July 1966).

Thor: Ragnarok is a great Marvel movie. But be prepared: it really goes for more of a comedic vibe than most superhero action movies.

I sawTaika Waititi, the director's movie which made him famous. Same thing, a dramatic movie that is intensely funny. That's why they hired him to direct Thor.

Many of the season 1 fans disliked season 2 -- I thought it was ok but nowhere near as good as season 1

These Reddit users agree with you:


Wow
Very disappointed in AOS
No compassion for those that may still want to watch
How about a link instead of copying and pasting a ton of text
How about a spoiler tag and hide


The common courtesy here is a spoiler tag for stuff just recently released that members here may want to watch

Sneaky Pete on Prime, 2nd season
even better than the 1st. If only
all of TV were this good. A solid crew
of veteran actors, great writing,
and a story that's will have you
guessing right to the end. I
binged it in 2 days which I never
do. Giovani Ribisi is one of the
best actors out there right now.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
