Thor movies
are a bit like taking a massive fart. When done with the right amount
of humour there's a good chance that you'll get away with it and
everything will be okay. However, and as was the case with Thor:
The Dark World, if the thing
feels as though it's been forced out for the sake of it then, like a
fart, there's also a definite possibility that you'll be left with something 'a little shit'. It also seems that the best films
within the MCU are made by directors of note. Shane Black's Iron
Man 3 was his typical
Christmas-set story of a wise-talking crime fighter that gets wrapped
up in a Hollywood conspiracy. Joss Whedon's Avengers was
his usual group of weirdos coming together to form a surrogate
family with each other as they battle supernatural-esque forces. With
Thor: Ragnarok we see
the comedy genius of indie director Taika Waititi as he makes what he
drunkenly described in an interview as being “about a guy just
trying to get home because there's a burglar in his house, and he's
stuck with this giant bi-polar guy who gets angry all the time, and a
drunk chick, and an annoying brother, and that's it. But with
spaceships... and Jeff Goldblum”.
