You can tell from the title that shit hits the fan in Thor: Raganrok, but just how serious is the movie? It’s so serious, so dark, that Marvel decided to hire a comedy director to bring a touch of lightness to the proceedings. Yes, Taika Waititi was hired to balance out the grimness of the script and bring it tonally a little closer to what Marvel fans have come to expect.
That’s what sources deep inside Disney are whispering to me, anyway. Waititi may yet be joined by another writer to help brighten the corners of Ragnarok while maintaining writer Christopher Yost’s apocalyptic vibe. One way that may happen is to up the humor between Thor and Hulk, who I have been led to believe will be not only appearing in the movie but will be playing a major role. The two heroes will be taking a cosmic road trip together, Hope and Crosby style.

They went pretty dark with Selvig running around naked. Tell you what Marvel, leave the “darkness” thing to DC, making the same unfunny jokes in a cruddy setting doesn’t count as “dark”.

I don know what about captain america winter soldier and upcoming captain america civil war?? It does shown to be much more serious so far than most of the marvel movies

So it was “dark” but Disney hired people to lighten it up,
not very promising news -
As much as I’d love for this to be true Age of Ultron was supposed to be dark. So I’m guessing this will have jokes every few lines.

Actually it was never supposed to be very dark. Just false marketing.

False marketing is a shame

AOU Dark?

Not getting my hopes up. The only real darkness from Marvel is on Netflix.

So it’s not very dark anymore. What a shame. I understand why Marvel doesn’t go dark, considering that they have a recipe for success, but it’s still a shame. Because I think that soon rather than later more and more people will be frustrated with Marvels characters being so “safe”.
You know that when a character dies in the MCU they actually never die. It’s like the whole Captain America situation. Since the introduction of Winter Soldier people have been speculating that Cap will die, but it seems unlikely. But we all know that if they killed him in a movie, Chris Evans would be back in the next one.
I think they have to start going darker, and Ragnarok should be the start. Because the mythologi is great. But it would also mean killing Thor, since his destiny is to die after taking 9 steps after a fight with a creature or something like that.

I don know this is like you are saying that DC need to kill superman sooner or later as the movie progress. What are the chances that marvel would be willing to kill one of their most important marvel core character?
