‘I came into this and called Joe and Anthony and said, “Look, don’t write me the old Thor, we’ve got a new Thor now,”’ Chris said.

He was referencing the highly acclaimed shift towards a comedic, self-referential tone he and Taika made with Ragnarok.

But instead of observing his request to keep the character’s newfound mojo alive, the Russo brothers reportedly told him they’d ‘reinvented’ the character once again.

Chris recalled his response: ‘I was like “no, no, no” and I was really protective of what I’d created with Taika.’

They explained that the new direction was in line with the higher-stakes of the Avengers film, and to ensure the character worked well in an ensemble cast.

No offence to anyone whose reblogged this bc they prob didn’t know better/I know we’re all emotional wrecks about these movies thus we take a lot of this information at face value but … this is false. Taika, Ryan, Peyton, James, and Jon worked closely with the Russo’s to ensure every franchise under their control was in character and not fucked up. Any Thor you will see on screen in IW has been approved by Taika himself. The Daily Mail is a trashy clickbait tabloid that often gets their facts wrong also IW was still in the process of filming before Thor 3 was even done and out to the public hence why Chris was scared to go back to the old Thor bc no one had even SEEN the new Thor yet. Thank u for coming to my Ted talk.

Of course, “not fucked up” is in the eye of the beholder…

oh thank the fucking norns

Oh no, Chris is going to have to actually act as a character instead of just playing himself.

I hope by “reinvented” they just mean went back to the character as we’d known him for 4 movies before Chris got tired of pretending he can act.

(This article doesn’t even really make sense because the Russos didn’t write the script, they just directed it; Markus & McFeely were the writers.)

It’s an unpopular opinion, but I welcome this change. I hated Ragnarok!Thor. The Russo Brothers know what they’re doing. They did a great job with Cap, and they’ll do great with Thor. By not making him a Space Viking Tony Stark. 

Dude, calling Ragnarok!Thor a “Space Viking Tony Stark” is an insult to Tony Stark. Tony Stark only pretends to be indifferent to other people’s feelings.

I’m not sure I trust the writers, Markus and McFeely; they turned Captain America: Civil War into a soap opera about personal loyalties and vendettas and completely dropped the ball on the larger political and philosophical issues they had the opportunity to explore. They also wrote most of Thor: The Dark World, which is largely a boring, forgettable mess without the Loki scenes they brought Joss Whedon in to add in reshoots. I’m actually kind of intrigued by the strategy they described of making Thanos the central character of IW and the Avengers effectively supporting characters, even though everyone else is appalled by it, but I’m skeptical that they have the skill to carry it off well.

okay but why i keep seeing people posting things about Tony ‘bringing’ Peter to fight Thanos when it’s about only thing EXPLICITLY CLEAR in the trailers that Peter actually went and hauled his teenager ass on that space doughnut ship himself and about 50% of Tony’s stress level can be credited to him being there all the while whole movie is ACTUALLY Tony’s worst nightmare coming to life?
