      The isolationist ethnostate where the title of king is earned through birthright and one on one combat is progressive? Oh, and needed a meteor made of the galaxy's most precious metal to thrive? How is that a good representation of Africa without colonialism?

      Way to miss the metaphor, and the movie agrees with you more than you think. Read the essay.

      I read it. I agree with your thoughts on Do The Right Thing's importance and especially enjoyed the story of the black student in the beginning. Frankly, I just think it's silly to apply this deep of an analysis to a Marvel movie.

      I think you could really just manipulate it to fit any world view you want so any analysis of it is empty beyond the analysis itself. Still a fan of your work, just find this essay, while well written, not that interesting in the lens of the movie.

      And I think you are being oversensitive to texture and form and not giving nearly enough credit to what an artist is bringing to a marvel

      And I think that you are extrapolating a bit much from the film. I'm not saying a blockbuster must be devoid of artistic merit (the best ones aren't) but the kind you are projecting to it just feels unwarranted. It's a matter of opinion so we might as well agree to disagree.

      Replying to @Zwok_ @FilmCritHULK

      Honestly I felt the same way, only more strongly, for his "Ragnarok = a critique of colonialism" analysis, but I felt I'd just be shouted down. That movie didn't come anywhere close to dramatizing those themes enough for them to be what it was "about".

      Agreed. I prefer the more grounded pieces he writes but it doesn't hurt to read the ones I find a bit outlandish. Still enjoyable reads even if I think he's stretching. I only was vocally critical this time because of the wider circus of political "analysis" of the movie already.

      Real talk? Y'all need to realize there's a difference between "lip service screen time" and "what it's about." It's literally the main villain's goal. The knowledge brings about change in two characters - it is at the center of a relationship between the main and his father -

          It is literally the driving force of the movie and the place the entire population come to a reckoning for, thus experiencing the notion of displacement - even in the Skaar, you have a colonial oppression system, wholely symbolic of slavery cities

          It's in the DNA of the entire film. It's right there. And here's someone else's great write up on it. https://www.villagevoice.com/2017/11/10/thor-ragnarok-marvel-from-a-postcolonial-perspective/ …

          How so? Thor sees the fresco of Odin and Hela conquering together, that was hidden behind the nicer one of Odin and Thor. But when he sees Odin again he doesn't confront him about the past. Instead, he gets the father-son pep talk about "Asgard is not a place."

          Replying to @Dave_Hunter @FilmCritHULK and

          Even if there was an intention to confront the horrors of colonialism, it feels like the movie pulled a lot of punches it didn't have to, protected its characters, and took it relatively easy on the audience.
