How to Marvel experts feel about Dormammu's look in Dr. Strange? Note that I mostly know Marvel characters from MvC, though I know Shuma-Gorath was made terribly, terribly goofy.
I'm a big Dr. Strange buff, and I had mixed feelings. I liked the ripple effect on his face, and I liked that they played him hard as an alien extra-dimensional being and not so much a fire-and-brimstone demon. But I wish we could have seen more of him (you only see the rest of his body in a couple of shots) and I wish they hadn't gone with purple as his dominant color. He could have used a little more visual flair, like the weird spindly structures around his head in some of the older comics.
In general, I was pleased. There are plenty of weak aspects in that movie, but Dormammu isn't one of them.
Neither was that ending.
Just *kisses fingers*
If there's one slight thing I'd have changed
it'd be to emphasize that he was lasting a tad longer each time, demonstrating that he was basically power-levelling himself. Gives a little more latitude with future movies where he should be Sorcerer Supreme, and makes it so that he's so powerful only because he was stuck in a time loop being killed over and over by a God.

Holy shit, it's like a full-on balls-to-the-wall Heavy Metal movie.
Starring Hulk and Thor.
And turned up to 11.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the previous two Thor movies but if the third one delivers on what it seems to be promising, they were both worth it just to get here.

Ya know the opening episode of Iron Fist isn't terrible, it's not intelligent at all because it's Scott Buck but it's competent. That said, sorry that he has to bury the Inhumans for fans of them, but hopefully he will be too busy to do S2 of IF.
Raven Metzner! Only thing I can find to his credit is the Elektra film from 2005 which I know nothing about. I'll take a lateral change at least if that's the situation.

If nothing else the man knows how to make a fight scene sing.
Ok so that Thor trailer is the best MCU trailer I have ever seen. Give that director/writer all of the Thor/Hulk movies forever. I love that the Thor/Hulk dynamic is based around oneupsmanship.

If the movie is as good as the trailers they should let him do more Thor's.

Wait a minute, who is Sigourney Weaver playing again? Because I'm having a hard time imagining Madame Gao answering to anyone, especially in that fashion.

Alexandra. We don't know much about her, so it's unclear whether she's a new character or secretly from the comics.

Trailer spoiler
She's playing a being with the chutzpah to tell Madam Gao to finish feeding the birds
They would absolutely shoot him into space if he wrecked something major again, and space is more viable an option with knowledge of the Guardians and now Thor.
Also holy shit can't wait to see Hulk try to smash

I'm really happy to see them finally leaning all the way in on the humor with Thor. One of the best parts of the character in the comics is how up front they are about his inherent ridiculousness. I know it's an arc, but he had taken himself and his exploits entirely too seriously for my taste. It's also been a waste of Hemsworth in the role. Glad to see we're essentially getting a buddy comedy.

you know, I know how you meant that, but the kids in England these days use smash as a synonym for something else entirely now these days and that isn't a picture I want in my head ...

Thor 3 looks like it's the culmination of them realising that Thor movies work when they are about crazy space-viking antics and don't when they have anything to do with boring earth shit.

It also helps that Hemsworth has ridiculously good comedic delivery. Let him do what he's good at (looking super dreamy and making people laugh)!

That it took them this long shameful. Hemsworth is incredibly charming when he's being just a little self-awarely self-depricating, and the character of Thor is so over the top crazytown that self-deprication takes basically no effort whatsoever.
We've gotten glimpses of it before, but they always seemed too scared not to play it at least mostly straight for whatever reason. I would guess that GotG, Spidey and, to a lesser extent, Ant Man showed them that this kind of hero can still carry a movie.

According to people who saw the first episode of Defenders, Alexandra
is implied to be very old, like Madame Two. But she's also dying of cancer.

Like I said above I think the key problem is that they kept trying to tie it back to Earth and it's just so serious and boring when it does that.

Now I'm picturing her as the MCU version of Walter White breaking bad.

Edit: I know it's movie vs. TV, but look how Hela moves and how her headpiece goes, compared to Medusa. That's why I'm so bummed.

Goddess of Death
Did anyone ever think they'd be saying that?
New Black Panther Poster:
Fucking finally!
They didn't, he's vastly better than Scott Buck.

I love that they've finally gone and done this. It adds so much endearment to the character.

Alexandra. We don't know much about her, so it's unclear whether she's a new character or secretly from the comics.
Judging from that scene the latter holds a higher rank in their structure, which is pretty impressive if she's a human.
I'm not much of a Hulk fan but I really enjoyed reading that story.
Unfortunately due to Hollywood obligations that's off the cards, perhaps indefinitely.
Trailer spoiler
That's pretty much enough for me
I don't think it'd be that big a problem, and we are essentially getting Planet Hulk 2.0 with Thor Ragnarok.
Tony wouldn't shoot Hulk into space as much as go with him, though.
Hmmm. You may be right, it's not that they can't do it it's just that they need to set it up properly. Maybe after Infinite War?
Also holy shit can't wait to see Hulk try to smash
But that ignores the fact that we're kind of getting Planet Hulk with Ragnarok and they aren't going to repeat the "Hulk as space gladiator" plot.
Also the real reason is apparently that Universal won't play ball with Marvel/Disney.
Multiple characters from Planet Hulk are in the trailer and Hulk is in space dressed as a gladiator doing Hulk shit.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
