    Is that the first trailer or was there one beforehand? I'm vaguely remembering something with Hitler on a staircase, it might've just been a promo photo a few months ago.

    A great Hitler satire that is fairly recent is 2015's Look Who's Back if ya haven't seen it before.

    Natalie Portman's acting/comedy ability isn't going to mesh with Waititi's directing.

    Look another token character.

    And love and thunder? lol they could had been more fortunate with the title.

    The whole concept is hard to mesh with anything. As her Comic book series proves.
    Its just dumb. Also Lazy marketing.
    This is taking someone else and calling them a dude's name just for the sake of representation. They should give her the power of thor not call her thor.

    Marvel officially stated Thor isn't a name it's a title. Which is a like a double F-U. Doing it and trying to get people to go with it. It would be like if James Bond retired and MI6 officially took away his name James and gave it to the next 007. So "Thor's" name is just Odinson, his parents never gave him a name. Yeah, that makes sense.

    The Power of Thor. Not be Thor.... Cap was still Steve, when he had the power.

    Yep, Its dumb. We both know Thor is the God of Thunder, and his father is Odin. As marvel goes his name would be Thor Odinson, if i recall correctly.


    Personally im not a big fan of people taking on the mantle and personas of already established heroes. It ends up taking away from them as characters.
    Sam is a good example. Or Bucky. As characters do they really need to take on the mantle of Cap? They dont. Do female heroes need to take on already established male character in order to be successful? i dont think so. In fact some would say this token dynamic can be insulting.

    Marvel fixed it a couple weeks ago.

    I don't see how Sam/Falcon is going to be effective with the shield, he isn't superhuman like Cap and Bucky, so I don't expect him to be throwing the shield like a boomerang.

    It's about crapping on the things other people enjoy. They're miserable on the inside so their goal is to make everyone else miserable.

    Sam can do it for the same reason Bruce Wayne can be Batman. Or did you forget Bruce was normal?

    You could say the same of Black Widow too, right? Or was she also superhuman?

    Long ago, it was foretold that there would come a day when people would cry out in anguish and turmoil for good comedy, and there would be a darkness upon the land. One day however, a hero would arise who would vanquish the evil, and this hero would be known by the phrase "Fat Pizza pizzas, they're big and they're cheesy".

    Many did not think this time would ever come, but it has! Fat Pizza Season 6 is here, after a 12 year break.

    Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh and the funny bearded fat man attracting those who were fed up with marvel. (maybe because it's really easy to buy us)

    ''Bernard'' was the last of the Yes, Minister trio. His pedantic remarks were always, in my favourite TV series I have ever watched and, together with Black Adder, the only one that I watch again and again, using outdated video-recorders and disks of suspicious quality and legality. An excellent actor, whose humour will be sorely missed.

    You could just watch it on Amazon Prime Abdul. That’s what I do anyway.

    Promising. From Alex Garland, inolved in Annihilation, Ex Machina or Dredd.

    ---------------------

    Great first episode, only negative would be Nick Offerman's weird hair.
