Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Can someone explain to me why they chose to have Karl's character wield M16's in this day and age? I get that when the stories were made the writers/artists probably didn't have a great idea for weapons and they were like "herp derp; guns!". But, in 2017? Come on.

Fan service.

yeah, it's very specifically to invoke the iconography of skurge's last stand. he was always a lackey, but gjallerbru made him a titan

I've been seeing YouTube videos about this for awhile now, and no joke, I will literally splooge all over my pants in the theater if he actually shows up. I'm actually not expecting it even with that hint though. I'm guessing more easter egg than anything else.

That would be my guess as well. This is supposed to be a relatively short movie and the new character count is already pretty high. Besides I don't expect them to ever change out someone like Hemsworth, who is eye candy for da ladies, with a CGI character like BRB anyway so the need for laying down some seeds for a future alternative Thor figure isn't there.

But it will be a cool easter egg none the less. Marvel knows their fans.

What is that image?

Ok, I chuckled at that gif. Good stuff.

Yeah, that was Japan.

Of all the movies I have not wanted to disappoint, this one might depress me the most if it sucks. Well, since Transformers anyway.

Every thing they show is just 100% awesome so far.

Looks fantastic

I wonder how big the market for doing that in a Rifftrax style would be. I have to imagine like 0, but it would be funny.

I didn't watch this trailer yet, but the movie is coming fairly soon (44 days to be exact). I'm done watching trailers at this point until after I watch it on opening night. Really hyped about this one.
