This was my first Thor movie - I haven't seen him since Avengers - while we can't stop what fic writers do, I didn't think of him as bumbling. A bit endearingly goofy ("Please kind sir, don't cut my hair!") but not like....an idiot.

I hope more fics acknowledge Valkyrie.

I think the film would have been better if they devoted more lines of dialogue to her motivations (another example of "bi, but only in off-screen interviews") and fewer lines to Tony Stark's pants.

Actually that might be a new rubric for talking about female characters. "Is there more discussion about inanimate objects in the movie than the character's motivation?"

I like Taika but damn the rock man didn't need more extended and prominent backstory than Valkyrie.

Ten things in Thor: Ragnarok that get more discussion than Valkrie's unnamed lover identified in interviews.

10. Knife hands
9. Pamphlets
8. Skurge's gun collection
7. Quinjet passwords
6. The devil's anus
5. The Hulk's junk
4. Sutur's hat
3. The Grandmaster's orgies
2. A wooden fork
1. Tony Stark's pants

I thought her backstory was adequately portrayed, and the flashback was beautifully rendered... the problem is there was no payoff. She said she would drive her sword through Hela, but when it happened the movie barely acknowledged it, not even as a fakeout. Did Hela even acknowledge Valkyrie in the final battle?
