SDCC trailers

I'm excited by Justice League, but not by Thor: Ragnarok. The word 'bloated' came up in a description of the MCU franchise in a review last year (or possibly this year, when comparing Wonder Woman with the current crop of superhero movies) and 'bloated' perfectly describes the trailer of Thor: Ragnarok.

Spiderman: Homecoming has good enough reviews that I might actually watch it (sometime), and I will be there to watch Black Panther with BELLS ON. But I might pass Thor: Ragnarok in much the same way that I passed on Thor: When Dark Elves Attack The Dark World. I eventually watched it and enjoyed it, but it wasn't All That. (Then again, I feel like the Thor franchise is one of the weakest ones in the MCU storyline.)

I haven't even looked at the trailer for Stargate: Origins, although if it's Catherine Langford's story, I will almost certainly give a looksee.

One reason I find fanon Darcy so disappointing is I love the big sis-little sis tug-of-war dynamic she and Jane have in the movies. And how she clearly thinks of herself as Jane's connection to the real world, otherwise Jane might decide to dive down a black hole to see what's on the other side. (One reason I'm really sad MCU Jane and Betty were both eased out was they were such risk-takers -- Jane literally seeking out other worlds, and Betty putting herself in between the Hulk and whoever was trying to kill him.)

Tessa Thompson leading the valkyrie charge did look really neat. But also like the opening of WW, only I doubt it'll last that long or be that important to the movie, sadly.
