While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

I have mixed feelings about it. Overall, I enjoyed watching it, but I think it would've been better without so much of the goofy humor that made Thor: Ragnarok work. I felt that humor detracted from the gravitas of Jane's and Gorr's story arcs. Pull back on the goofiness, play it all a little straighter, and restore the cut scenes with Eitri and the Grandmaster -- that would've brought it closer to an epic film than a check-your-brain-at-the-door film.

Actually, you're right, Jane's illness has been minimized.
