After following the marketing for Ragnarok so far, I think I can guess what might happen.
First, it will have a lively tone compared with GOTG more than the other Thor movies.
It will have a blend of the Ragnarok and Planet Hulk storylines, with the special MCU flavor that works.
Comic fans who are familiar with both stories will attack the movie for not being fully faithful to either comic storyline. Just like many attacked Civil War.
My suggestion to fans is to enjoy it for what it is, a story and a movie with hints from Ragnarok, Planet Hulk, and more.
If Marvel Studios wants to avoid the backlash, they can follow the Chinese marketting and change the title to Thor 3: Battle Royale. Everyone will accept it.
But I doubt they'll change it, and I'm OK with it. I've learnt to trust MCU stories, and they haven't failed me yet. Some have been less than expected for me, but they turned out OK.
Also, Thor's haircut follows him to Infinity War. Sayanora, Thor's hair. We'll miss you. But Thor looks cooler.
I wonder if we'll see Sif and Jane.
Anyhoo...

As a comedy I think it will do well and may very well reach a wider audience that is unfamiliar with Thor and Norse mythology. Thor being one of my favorites from childhood means that I will have to push my memories aside and hopefully, hopefully take this one as a very successful one-off of the character. Thor and Loki as Bing Crosby and Bob Hope isn't what I want for the End of Days of Asgard via Ragnarok. I'll laugh at it but it won't have meaning or gravitas. That's just me....

I can give you the one thing that even the great Galactus needs!

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: That they took too long to introduce stuff... but honestly the slow build was the payoff. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:51 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.

Nov 10, 2024 23:07:44 GMT

ayanami: Idk, Ironman flying alongside the Bus. Stuff like that.

Nov 10, 2024 23:08:50 GMT

Jemma Simmons: LOL that would have been awesome! I got the idea they might like to do that, but I suspect the main actors were too expensive. Although we did get Fury a few times. And the occasional Maria Hill. Nov 10, 2024 23:09:58 GMT

ayanami: Also, should have scrapped and re-done episode 2 from scratch. Not a horrible episode all together, but what a slow, low-budget let-down from the pilot and the general MCU world in general. I bet the ratings drop between eps 2 and 3 was massive! Nov 10, 2024 23:11:30 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh I'm sure you're right! Nov 10, 2024 23:12:00 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, Fury was great! Plus, he was really necessary to tie the story together in S1. Nov 10, 2024 23:12:16 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I think the other issue with the first couple seasons as far as pacing had to do with them tying in the show to the movies and not being able to address the movie on the show until the movie was released. Nov 10, 2024 23:13:19 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yeah, Fury was great! His appearances never felt forced either. Like you said, he was necessary to the plot and it fit that he was there. Nov 10, 2024 23:14:22 GMT

ayanami: True. But low-budget eps right at the start of the show, special effects stolen right out of Firefly and cringy humour certainly didn't help their case, either.

Nov 10, 2024 23:14:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Ha, no. But every show has to find its footing that first season. Nov 10, 2024 23:15:47 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I just keep wondering if we might ever see any AoS characters on What If? Nov 10, 2024 23:16:11 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I mean that would be really easy to bring them in on. I can't see doing the voice work taking long. Nov 10, 2024 23:16:27 GMT

ayanami: That would be very cool. I'd love to see that! Nov 10, 2024 23:18:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Me too! Have to wonder how many of the cast at this point would be willing to do it. It would be neat to see them though! Nov 10, 2024 23:20:22 GMT

ayanami: Alrighty then, since it's getting late over here, I think I'm gonna peace off now. I hope you have a great week ahead of you, until next Sunday! See you around, bosslady!

Nov 10, 2024 23:20:27 GMT

Jemma Simmons: You have a good week too! See you next week! Nov 10, 2024 23:21:21 GMT

ayanami: I would hope everyone. I mean, it's a paycheck and voice work should not be that hard to fit into their usual schedules. Nov 10, 2024 23:22:08 GMT
