God of thunder gets defeated by some electricity. Makes total sense it is just dumb.

[The Grey Coincidence]

*Thunder*, not lightning

God of thunder gets defeated by some electricity. Makes total sense it is just dumb.

I mean the device could easily be injecting a paralytic into the bloodstream. Also has Thor ever displayed an immunity to electricity? He can control it, but that doesn't automatically mean he's immune.

[Delthion]

The whole channeling lightening through his body in Ragnarok would seem to suggest an immunity to electricity.

[The Grey Coincidence]

Different frequency maybe?

[PaulTheMarlfox]

Who knows! I mean if Thor's electricity is a different frequency, then does that mean it's weaker? If he channels that electricity through his body nicely and gets defeated by more electricity, I think he either has a limit or his is weaker and thus cannot control the other electricity. (Sorry for the long conspiracy theory!)

[The Grey Coincidence]

Ooooor he is only resistant to high voltages.l

So... Far From Home. They did it again. How I felt about Endgame? Same stuff here. The second half of the movie is one of the best hours of footage produced by the MCU, but the first half is generic, mediocre schlock. I could point out to you the exact moment the film goes from mediocre to great. But the end result is a very high-end-of-middling film.

Now I think it's time to update my ranking. I still have not seen Hulk, Iron Man 3, or the first two Captain Americas.

18. Iron Man 2
17. Thor
16. The Avengers
15. Ant-Man and the Wasp
14. Captain Marvel
13. Ant-Man
12. Doctor Strange
11. Age of Ultron
10. Guardians of the Galaxy
9. Far From Home
8. Civil War
7. Guardians 2
6. Iron Man
5. Infinity War
4. Ragnarok
3. Spider-Man Homecoming
2. Black Panther
1. Endgame

FFH has TWO after-credits scenes, so stay right to the end. Trust me, you want to see them both.

[Delthion]

I differ with you slightly about Far From Home, it's definitely my favorite Marvel movie to date.

Spoiler

I found a lot of the early humour cringey - the main teacher guy should've honestly been fired he was so incompetent, so that made his character unbelievable to me. And I don't like the Happy/May stuff.

Also I spent the first hour of the movie waiting for the other shoe to drop, because I knew Beck was the villain, and that the monsters were illusions already, purely by virtue of it being a story about Mysterio, who if you know anything about him, you know that he's a villain who uses illusions. And I didn't find the story of the fake monsters that interesting, or the action that great.

But I do stand by that literally everything from the facade at the bar dropping is a complete masterwork of cinema. It's just a shame I found the first half so unengaging.

Spoiler

I came in knowing nothing about Mysterio, but I did have my suspicions about him the entire time, and as soon as they defeated the fire beast I knew. Also, I find the Happy/May stuff really charming. I find the teacher funny because the entire trip is like a really badly botched field trip, I've been on plenty of those. (Seriously, once we went to a lake to study the marine life there, and when we got there it turned out that it had been drained to repair the dam near there.

[The Skarzs]

The temptation to open those is real.

[Tungro]

I already did

[The Skarzs]

Regret?

[Tungro]

Meh, just expose the villain and a bunch of other stuff I don't understand (probably will when I watch it), which Jet said was pretty obvious (though Del said it wasn't)
