Hottest of hot takes, Heimdall is literally the only competent Asgardian, he’s the only one, he’s the entirety of the functioning government

Odin: (Goes off to Norway to die)

Thor: (Laying facedown in garbage) I LIVE HERE NOW

Loki: (Getting drunk with the Grandmaster) WHEN IT’S TIME TO PARTY I WILL ALWAYS PARTY HARD

Asgard: (ON FIRE)

Heimdall: (actually rescuing people from Hela’s rule, sheltering hundreds or maybe thousands of refugees, keeping her from accessing the bifrost, dealing with Evil Skeletons) NO ONE EVER HELPS ME IN THIS FUCKIN HOUSE

taika: here’s this neat symbolism of thor being sent down the same path of his father, shown by losing his eye and having the eyepatch, but instead he chose to be a better man than his father was. also his hammer gets destroyed because he never really needed it, it was just a channel for his powers, and he’s far more powerful without it.

russo brothers: ……………………………….. okay heres a robot eye and an axe

Reblogging for @iunia-kallistrate excellent tag commentary: 

#the russo brothers are having the joss whedon problem#joss’ shit was innovative when he started#(performative) feminism 101 on TV in Sci-fi then#was huge#but now we’re all in (actual) feminism 405 and that 101 stuff is tired#the Russo brother’s were kings of the superhero scene when the only bar they had to surpass was Whedon’s#and so they went and did social and moral conflicts 101 stories featuring white men and their sidekicks#but then we got Tiaka and Ryan Coogler#who write social and moral conflict on the graduate level and not the undergrad freshman intro level#and both of them surpassing Whedon’s so called feminism to boot#not that its hard#but you’ve got Tiaka over her writing a female character who can go toe to toe with the boys w/o it being about how sexy she is#Valkyrie is on fire but its not about them#Even the Grandmaster’s little crush is meant to show us how badass she is and not how hot she is#Then you get Ryan Coogler out her writing a fucking dissertation on intersectional feminism and the patriarchy of the diaspora#How are we supposed to go back to the Russo brothers after that#When they refuse to accept that the game has changed and try to break what was built to fit their tired concepts#the same Whedon ignored their character building in Ultron#like kids who brake their own toys because they don’t want their siblings to play

Thor: Ragnarok is just as much as The Lion King as Black Panther

People would have never compared this movie to the Lion King if it didn’t take place in Africa. Oh you don’t believe me? Well let me prove you wrong, because the Lion King shares as many similarity with Thor: Ragnarok as it does with Black Panther.

1) The father of the hero dies in front of him, which would make him the next king

2) A relative who wanted the throne for a long time appears

3) The villan makes sure that the hero won’t return and makes everyone think he’s dead

4) While the hero is gone the villan takes over and everything is going down

5) Hero is in a unknown territory and makes weird friends

6) Hero meets badass woman he used to love/be friends with/admire

7) Villan finds allies who think everything will be better under their reign, but eventually realizes it’s not

8) An (wise/old) friend of the family helps the hero agains the villan and guids him on his way

9) Hero has a vision of his dead father

10) Heros friends fight against villans army

11) Hero fights villan, but doesn’t kill them themselves (Thor Ragnarok is more like Lion King her than Black Panther)

12) Hero becomes king, but their way of living changes

They’re all basically Hamlet with a happier ending. Which was itself based on an old Danish saga.
