(white) people on my aou post: aou isn’t that bad, what about ragnarok???
me: i don’t? understand? what the fuck? you mean?
oh we’re still doing this “ragnarok made thor and loki look stupid” thing
things ragnarok did:
– reinvent thor as being a more relatable and fun character with a far more extensive power set as well as making him the star of his own goddamn movie for once without worry about some other character overshadowing him and established that his arcs from the first two movies were realized in the form of him assuming control of his powers on odin’s level – asserting his ultimate worthiness
– introduce valkyrie
– give heimdall more than two minutes of screentime
– destroy asgard
– reintroduce hulk with the ability to speak and show emotion beyond smashing things
– fuck colonialist lives! korg is skinny!
– contain good and funny jokes
– was directed by the mcu’s first director of color
– fix loki’s sad broody boy problem
– make fun of thor: the dark world
ragnarok is one of the best marvel movies for the “prisoners with jobs” joke alone, fuck y’all, unclench

“If there’s anything consistent about my work it’s not flat. The criticism of Marvel movies whether it’s in the cinematography or in the Digital Intermediate is that sometimes sort of lack contrast and saturation. That certainly isn’t true of my work from the outset, so hopefully the look we’re presenting will hold through to the end. But I think in making something so big, if you take for example an exterior day scene that’s shot over 15, 20 days you’re not gonna have all sunny days so what happens at the end of shooting when it’s half sun and half cloud. The natural tendency is to lean into something in the middle, to kind of flatten out the contrast on the sunny day and maybe try to bump up the contrast on the cloudy day and find somewhere to meet in the middle. That was my biggest concern going in was that we don’t allow that to happen, so we would throw hard light at people on cloudy days just to kind of increase the contrast.” — Rachel Morrison
