That's bad enough when you're beating up Worf for the fiftieth episode but the Asgardians are supposed to be a Big Deal. She just made them look like chumps using spears and swords in space and they never even had a prior moment to prove otherwise. Great, she killed what looks like a bunch of medieval soldiers, big fuckin deal. Oh surprise surprise Thor shot lightning out of his ass and lost until he shot lightning out of his ass while believing in himself to (kind of) win, yay! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) Superhero movies in general tend to struggle when they have a main character fight anyone who isn't another main character. I suppose the intent is to make the hero or villain appear powerful by having her defeat a bunch of badass normal people but what usually ends up happening is that the normal people just look like losers instead. Thor himself had the same problem when fighting Surtur's and Hela's minions - they looked scary but they were so weak compared to him that the fights were comedic instead of dramatic. However, at least Thor's lightning made his fights look cool. Hela's spikes were the opposite of a fun fight scene. If I were editing the script, I'd have Hela lay siege to Asgard with her undead army. She actually fights the Asgardians and forces them to retreat inside their fortress instead of just humiliating them and they're barely holding out while Thor is on his journey of self-discovery. This would also fix the problem with her own undead minions being useless. They'd actually have something to do (fight the Asgardians) rather than jogging around chasing civilians while Yakety Sax plays. (Oh and what was up with a guy who can beat the Hulk getting taken out instantly by a taser thingie? If those things are so powerful, shouldn't everyone just be throwing them at each other instead of using weapons?) permalink fedilink source parent [–] setInner234@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago (1 child) Who is it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 22 points 11 months ago (4 children) Cate Blanchet in Thor Ragnarok permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 10 points 11 months ago (2 children) Cate Blanchet is very high up on my women I want to smell their farts list only a couple people are higher like Margaret Thatcher or that lady from the Golden Girls. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago I read "Gilmore Girls" for a second and I was like, "Yeah, I could see that" permalink fedilink source parent [–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago …or that lady from the Golden Girls.
