[Martok]

Oh hells yeah!  I'm so pumped for this!! 

[mirth]

Sweet!!!

[OJsDad]

That was so fraking hilarious.  "He's a friend from work!"     

Can't wait for O to get home so I can show this to her.

The people at DC have to be crapping their pants over that trailer.

<:-) :DD :DD :DD :DD :DD :DD :DD :DD :DD

Can any trailer with the Immigrant Song as the background be bad?

I don't think so.

[Sir Slash]

Sorry. Got to go get my seat at the theater RIGHT NOW!!!!

I somehow didn't know that Jeff Goldblum would be playing the Grandmaster.

Looks like they're going to simplify the cosmology a bit by having the Grandmaster and the Collector be from the same species. (Also, the Grandmaster wasn't in charge of the arena in the Planet Hulk storyline, but that's fine, I appreciate the conflation.  O0 )

Evidently JG would tell people on set, when they asked him what the movie was about, "What movie? I dress like this all the time!"

[Nefaro]

That trailer is fokeen badass.

Marvel does have a way with trailers and 70's rock.

I've heard for a while that this movie will feature the largest grand finale in the MCU films up to now. In comics, the Ragnarok storyline ended with a massive fight against Sutur; what I've been hearing is that Odin will finally step up to the plate for a (perhaps fatal) fight against Thanos.

There's an interesting "Celestial" nod in the trailer, too -- someone dressed exactly like one of them is sitting at a bar on Skarro with the Valkyrie -- which has ties to the Infinity Stone plot. For that matter, so does the Grandmaster, although his stone in the comics (the Mind Stone) is currently embedded in the head of the Vision. (Thanos already had it, gave it to Loki for the scepter, and so on from there.)

I'm also wondering if the "Valkyrie" character will end up taking the place of the Hulk's freed gladiator wife from Planet Hulk. Valk (a much blonder version) was originally introduced in the Hulk comics, and teamed up on the Defenders with him occasionally. That would be an interesting way to blend two quite different story streams.

I'm expecting a Guardians tie-in, leading up to the Infinity Wars movies.

[Sir Slash]

Yeah, Thor will pick-up Groot and beat the hell outta Hulk with him. Oh, wait. He's still a baby Groot. Well, maybe he'll stick him in the eye with him instead. 

[Tpek]

Oh come on...
How did Hela destroy Mjolnir, it's indestructible.

[JasonPratt]

^ To be fair, that's taken from the comics.

I'm expecting a Guardians tie-in, leading up to the Infinity Wars movies.

James Gunn has already hinted at a tie-in. For that matter, the first Guardians tie-in (directed by Gunn himself) was an after-credit to Thor 2.
