I was just watching Thor Ragnorok and I just noticed how Odin's death was similar to Thanos' finger-snapped victims. Turning into dust. Was this mentioned before?

Not really the same as "the snap" people IMO but I do see the similarities. Not sure that's foreshadowing or just similar effects being used.

After just reviewing the effects used for "The Snap" as well as Odin's death and Frigga's funeral, I have to disagree entirely on this matter. Sure, they all "dissolved" in some way, but that's where the visual similarities stop. Frigga turned into bright white lights, very closely resembling the stars she then joined, while the mist of lights Odin turned into was golden, reminiscent of his usual golden attributes.

The visual effects of "The Snap" on the other hand were grey/black, looking pretty much like ash that the characters dissolved into. In that regard, it much more closely resembles Agents of Shield's splinter bombs effects, actually, and I think we can all agree that Agents of Shield didn't foreshadow Infinity War.

"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT
