One thing this movie left me wondering is will we get a Mighty Thor movie or show or at most/least another appearance of the character.
A cool cameo would be very worth while as a bit of plot armour for someone in another show or movie. Don't groan too much, I kinda feel that by the end of Love and Thunder She had really come into her own as a Thor but there was mention She'd done a little bit of head smashing before the movie really gets going and it could be a nice bit of useful fanservice. The cool kind not the naughty kind.

Back on topic I've heard and read a lot of complaints that main Thor was dumb and just joking around way too much. I have to wonder if this was because he is so powerful he knows just how off putting and intimidating he can be to regular people and just just playing a "simpleton" to help the interactions. Probably just my own head cannon.

Yeah, you're overthinking it.

So It looks like my memory was not so bad, and Odin really said ''we are not gods'', but it was not in Thor 1 but Thor 2.

If memory serves correctly the Thor of actual Norse Mythology isn’t any kind of genius.

Neither is the Thor of the Marvel comic books. But there's a wee bit of difference between 'not very bright' and being a joke character.

Waititi ignored every other facet of Thor's character/world in this film, so why would he remember that?

I think the movie would have been better if it focused more on Gorr, much like Infinity War did with Thanos. We should see how he learns all the things he does and watch him defeating the 'gods' he brings down to really instill both empathy as well as the level of the threat he posed.

To much of it is just told to us and not enough is shown.

Before I attempt to see this:


Do they destroy any Ultraverse characters in this one like they did in Ragnarok?

What's an Ultraverse character?

Topaz (Grandmaster's henchwoman) is considered to be based off a character from Malibu Comics' Ultraverse named Topaz and not another character named Topaz that was in Marvel comics.

I... Very much doubt Grandmasters Topaz is anything but an original character.

Yep, and was pretty much a name grab to get Rachel House in the movie. The only things that match for the character are the name, chromosome pairing, and vague color patterns with the costumes.

Tom Mason, formerly of Malibu Comics and one of the Ultraverse founding fathers, disagrees with you on that one. I'd like to hope it's wishful thinking on his part because I'd rather have no representation of the Ultraverse characters than abysmally gakky representation.

I had completely forgotten about Malibu Comics. I have some issues of Prime around somewhere. didn't realized Marvel bought them up in like 94' until today.

This appearance and the Rune figure for Heroclix were the first Ultraverse bones thrown in over 20 years

It's kind of a rights issue for getting anything made because creators retained rights to characters if memory serves correct.

Erm….

TV wise we’ve got She Hulk Attorney At Law, Black Panther 2, an untitled Halloween Special, Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special.

BP2 isn't a TV thing.

Here's hoping we get the trailer during San Diego Comic-Con this weekend...

No, having pieced together all the bits of info it seems it's all tied to EVERYTHING has to involve Scott Rosenberg and Marvel flat out refuses to do so. There may be some more to it, but that's the main beef. No creators own any of the Ultraverse characters, and the royalties aren't any bigger than what they have to pay for Marvel proper characters.
