Well I finally saw Ragnarok today. I’d put it at #7 overall in the MCU, just above Guardians Vol. 2 but two places below Homecoming (Civil War is between them). Like you guys said, it’s got a lot of pacing problems in the first act, and the bathos sometimes doesn’t work. But it’s definitely the most bombastic of the MCU films, which really helps it stand out, and the comedy is utter gold, with the colors really helping it stand out.

KalKent wrote: In how they essentially made the Asgardians aliens in the MCU, and them visiting the Nordic countries was what spawned the Norse mythology; my guess is that if they will introduce Angela, they will go all Ancient Astronaut with the Angels of the Tenth Realm, where the angels told of in Biblical tales and such, were actually them visiting Earth, paid by Odin "to hunt and drive off the Asgardians who wished to hunt the mortals for fun".

Although considering Ares, the God of War, appears as a statue on Sakaar, whether they intend to make the Ancient Greek gods real ones or ancient astronauts as well remains to be seen.

Was he one of the giant metal heads along with Beta Ray Bill and Hulk? At any rate, Ares would be pretty cool. And besides, I need to cleanse my mind of David Thewlis’ version, so yeah.
