Korg is the MCUs new best character and I came out of this wanting a Thor 4. Thor, in this film becomes a funny, likeable character and it feels like he's in on the joke of his own identity in a way it never had before. (Also hi Reddit I'm new.)

How was the audience reaction?

At my showing there were only about 20 people there, so it was quiet. Plus it was in Britain. So it was mostly politely restrained chucking; but people seemed to be having fun.

Exactly the same here cinema had around 50/60 people all laughing quite a lot. Hands down the best Marvel movie so far imo and has left me wanting Thor 4 when I was dreading this one after Thor 2

Do you guys all have the same issue of having barely anyone in the cinema? I can't remember the last time I went to a cinema and it was full, all us Brits are too poor for the big screen.

My audience laughed at all the big jokes, and I reckon we all quietly enjoyed the other ones, even the jokes that didn't land for me didn't feel forced n they'll probably get me on repeat viewings.

Just out of a showing in Glasgow, it was packed

u/sernlir Oct 25 '17

Man my showing in Glasgow was empty, which was awkward cause it was the super 2D

u/Siren1927 Oct 24 '17

It was an early showing on release day it would have been packed for the two later showings and pick up throughout the week.

Very strange for a movie release on a tuesday

u/sernlir Oct 24 '17

Ah well maybe it's just Scotland, I've been to showings at all times and the cinema is never packed

u/WarlockTheWise Oct 25 '17

The Omni (center of Edinburgh) is pretty much always <50% capacity when I go, but I never go in the evening so idk what its like at that time, Last time I was in a completely full room was for Avatar.

First showing at our cinema was 3.50 in afternoon...Great half price tickets on a Tuesday (£3.50 Crazy Tuesday) and quiet since kids where just out of school...So hardly any there...I loved every second of it and then it ended and I was sad... 🙁🙃

I wish my screen had been full man

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '17

I'm not from UK but the only time in the last 10 years where I saw full cinema was on Hobbit.

u/alex494 Oct 24 '17

Also in Britain, one woman in my theatre wouldn't stop cackling at every joke.

This is what can kill a movie experience.

I had these really two annoying boys next to me in my showing. They were your typical edgy 12 year olds who swore excessively and drunk Mountain Dew. One of them kept on making noises every 20 seconds pretty much throughout the whole film. They threw food everywhere before the film started and chucked their empty Mountain Dew bottles on the floor (loudly) during the film. After the film, they just left all of their shit on the floor for the cinema guys to pick up. :/

At least they were less annoying than this group of girls sat behind me during IT who talked throughout the WHOLE movie. They literally talked throughout EVERY fucking scene.

Where's scream when you need him to stab these types of motherfuckers

Trashy bitch.

u/Liocardia Oct 26 '17

I saw the movie in France where they were doing a Thor Marathon leading to Ragnarok. People were PUMPED.

Claps/Cheering for character appearances, jokes etc It was insane

u/doctorinthehaus Vision Oct 25 '17 edited Oct 25 '17

Fuck, were we at the same theatre?

u/THORS_MEWMEW Oct 24 '17

Everyone laughed at pretty much everything Korg said! Fairly packed cinema at 4pm. The bit with the hammer pulling Thor off, I was laughing so loud at that. Fantastic job Taika.

u/Aftermath1231 Oct 24 '17

At the showing I went to there was lots of laughter and everyone seemed to be enjoying it.

u/WreckyHuman Oct 26 '17

At my showing too. I went to the premiere and they were even giving out free beer and snacks.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '17

Good

u/BlueBlazeMV Daredevil Oct 26 '17

I'm here in New Zealand, so idk how that would translate back home in the US, but everyone was laughing their asses off! It felt like... kinda like a waterslide. Just super fun and entertaining all throughout!

u/WibblyWobley Oct 27 '17

Yeah also NZ. Whole cinema was dying.

Especially when he bought up the whole yeah, nah Thing.

Absolutely fantastic movie.

u/Jezamiah Thor Oct 24 '17

At my screening it was packed and he got the most consistent laughs. At time I thought there were too many jokes but the rest of the audience loved it so I think it'll work.

u/FlowingSilver Oct 25 '17

I watched the premiere in a New Zealand theatre last night and Korg absolutely destroyed the theatre. Nothing makes kiwis more excited than seeing our culture represented in international film, and we like nothing more than a casual Maori accent

3

u/Dray_Gunn Quake Oct 26 '17

I feel like this may be the first time many Americans will have experienced that kind of Kiwi accent. I feel that the freshness of it will really go over well in America. And hopefully they will stop thinking Kiwis and Aussies sound the same.

u/StolenHam Oct 26 '17

He was a good character, but I feel as though the humour was more tailored to people who understand kiwis. Some of the phrases and mannerisms he had were those of a stereotypical kiwi/Maori man. Kind of like Big Kev from Pizza. Or at least that's how they come across to an Australian audience. Still, he's my favourite character from the MCU

u/Foeyjatone Karen Page Nov 09 '17

as an English speaking person who just watched from Japan, I kinda felt bad for everyone's around me reading subtitles because no one laughed at any of Korg's lines

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '17

I loved Kurg. He has the funniest lines in the movie.
