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

While I noted that that was taken from the comics, the Nerdist has a better theory centered on the MCU developing story leading into the Infinity Wars. Namely, by that point Hela has found the Soul Gem.

Here's a highly drunk and/or allergy-medicined Jessica Chobot to explain



Seems like a legit explanation to me!  O0 :smitten:
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I think Thor does that to all women. That's why I don't let my wife watch them. I hope they don't just recreate Marvel canon for these films. I'd like to see something new and original to go with my popcorn.

It's tough to decide if I love Jessica Chobot or Olivia Munn more.

So far they've verged off from canon quite a bit while nodding to the original stories. (Civil War being a recent high profile case in point.) Planet Hulk will only tangentially resemble canon; the same seems true of Ragnarok, which will be folded into the Infinity War storyline -- itself very different in setup so far from canon (and probably also in execution to come).

The basic theme so far has been: origins and characterization should be close to canon, otherwise just keep a taste of canon for flavor.

Agreed.  And I am perfectly okay with this.

I haven't really bought into the Thor movies - but I'm watching it purely for that!

So Thor and Hulk become the new Hope and Crosby "The Road To..." movie? I'm NOT liking the sound of that. "Not Really a Comedy" sounds like a cooking show..... a recipe for failure. Leave my Thor alone DAMMIT!!!!

Well I didn't see Spiderman yet however after the darkness of CA:CW and Dr Strange I'm OK if they switch gears a bit.

That said, I can't see how they can "soften" the destruction of Asgard and having the main antagonist being the god of death...I think there's too much heavy here to go completely Antman.
Insert witty comment here.

I'm heading out to the theater right now to get the best seat. Don't none of you sit behind me and kick my chair. COME ON HULKIE! GET SOME!
