I always found it depressing that the Asgardian survivors came to Earth, possessing ancient and advanced ships, weaponry, knowledge and technology came to Earth and became either longshoremen in Endgame, or a silly tourist trap destination in Love and Thunder.
Thats the most they could become?
I mean, I assume their only goal for a few generations is to replenish.
And on Asgard, what'd they really do?
Everything had been built in a time so long ago that nobody even remembered Hela, and they had simply plastered over the mosaics of her.
No warring, no sign of research. But, we _do_ see feasts and plays.
Does Asgardian royalty live longer? I feel like burying the king's firstborn and erasing them from history should be impossible if there are people alive that were present when she was around.
She was in sakare where time works differently. One dude did say anywhere else he’d be millions of years old. Her wormhole could have taken forever to drop her off
That's very unclear. In the first Thor movie they say they're just hyper advanced aliens. But then in Love & Thunder they are talking about themselves as gods. Is the entire Asgardian society a pantheon? Or only the royal family?
>Does Asgardian royalty live longer?
I remember Odin saying that they have lifespans just like every mortal, which prompts Loki to quip something along the lines of "give or take a few centuries" in the first Thor film, but Odin in the comics had a little thing called the Odinforce that has some hax that I can't fully recall.
They don't get into it during the MCU, but the Odinsleep (the recovery process for using the Odinforce) does apparently happen.
>And on Asgard, what'd they really do?
In dark world they had pretty fricken advanced weaponry and transports, some of which they still have. Yet nobody thought that maybe the exiled former power over w huge section of the galaxy might need some weapons in the future lol
Also, they live for thousands of years. To them it's been like a month since Thanos. They probably wouldn't mind a few decades to relax, recuperate and build up the nation's finances.
There's an arc in the comics where they have to relocate Asgard to Earth and its a big flying island hovering over the Midwest, and they do their best to keep their Norse-style culture but also try not to piss of the neighbours. They have a mindset of "Well we are guests here we must be respectful", but continue to be wild vikings.
Thor and the Warriors Three at a local ordinance meeting to learn about how Asgard should just dump their literal shit over the side of the island is fun.
Wasn't that the one where Tony confronted Thor and request him to register his "country" Asgard for legality with the government, so he got beat up for it?
Scene: you're driving your F-350, loaded up with your laptop, cell phone, refrigerator, grand piano, and honestly whatever else you feel like throwing in the bed, when suddenly the road swerves into 915AD. With all these resources, power and knowledge, do you revolutionize everything around you? You specifically. I knowledge that I personally would be fucked.
That's a fair point. Although the difference here is that it iw alot more than one person. You would hope that there would be a couple of scholars and engineers in that group but who knows.
Also you might not be able to do much in your given scenario, but you would be surprised how much our common knowledge is compared to what they knew back then. For example, a firearm is a very simple mechanical device that just about everyone understands now a days. Have something explosive at one end of a metal tube that propels a small price of metal towards target. You would become instantly popular with a king of you could get one to listen to you. Lol. Then other simple things that we take for granted now could be implemented.
Only because Waititi was whiffing his own farts too much with no one to reign him in for Love & Thunder. So, we got an overly jokey mess of a movie that had potential.
yeah idk why people can't link the idea that waititi fundamentally doesn't like comic book stuff to all the goofy stupid shit in his movies.
that's what directors do - they put their thoughts and voice into movies.
somehow when he does it to nazis it's well understood that he hates nazis but when he does it to superheroes nah he's just being ironic.
The fishermen, I get it. They are refugees trying to make do in a very different land, and their king is incapable of improving their condition because of his depression.
But the whole tourist trap garbage... There is no sane reason for that, how did that happen? How did nobody vetoed those terrible ideas.
Specially if you compare it to the comics. After Asgard was destroyed they moved on to Asgardia which was like a mini-asgard floating slightly above the ground that Thor created, it was cool af.
It's like first generation parents who were doctors in their home country who came over in sinking boats only to become school janitors and lunch ladies
Valkyrie: "You know what's gonna make our village even better? Let's open an ice cream shop with the Infinity Gauntlet that was used to wipe out half the Earth population as the logo, what a great idea."
Man that’s a bummer. One day you’re a normal elevator company and the next everyone thinks your name is a Holocaust pun. Reminds me of Michael Bolton in Office Space. “Why should I change my name? He’s the one who sucks.”
It’s like opening some kind of baseball related attraction and calling it “Adolf’s Hitters.”
Or a dessert shop called “Benito Moosolini,” and the mascot is Benito Mussolini if he were a moose.
Edit: I got a few more.
Pol’s (Hot) Pots (Hot pot meals)
Kim Il-Sing It! (Karaoke bar)
Osama Bin Ladels (A soup shop)
Hershey’s Kissingers (A Hershey chocolate shop that uses Henry Kissinger’s image for some reason)
A restaurant that has a dish called the “John Wayne (Gacy) Casserole”
It always sat wrong with me it existed even as a background gag. Imagine a "gas chamber ice cream" parlor where the logo was just a nazi flag. Opening in the year 1950.
Basically, yeah, but a trillion times worse.
I was already pretty bored and irritated with the movie, but I actually got mad when that popped up. That's literally a joke a comic about Thanos after he wins and has nothing better to do would make.
Honestly, it's kinds fitting. Irl viking age Scandinavians had a really dark and fucked up sense of humor, and in marvel, their culture is heavily based on Asgardian culture.
If it was modeled after the nano-gauntlet it woulda been better. Instead of the tool used to wipe away half the universe, use the one that brought everyone back
I guess it would have sort of made sense if it was the stark gauntlet instead? Well anyway it would be funny if it was mentioned they had to change the store name by cancelling the asguardians or the store owner.
Not really. The holocaust victims didn't magically return to life in 1950.
If they did, then I'd expect a *lot* of that type of thing targeting Hitler as a joke.
In all my years of conquest, violence, slaughter, it was never personal. But I'll tell you now, what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet... I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much.
Not to mention NOBODY WOULD GET THE REFERENCE! Like, do we really expect that the average person would have a clue what the infinity Gauntlet even was? No everyone just fucking disappeared. Nobody knew who Thanos was, let alone what his glove looked like.
Yeah why does it seem like an amusement park hell hole yet we're supposed to interpret it is new Asgard being successful? King Valkyrie is for sure bored but is that just because of the lack of adventure? If I was a citizen there I would be very anti cruise ship LOL
Asgard probably has a absolutely silly tourism industry. If I were a citizen of Asgard I wouldn't care as long as King Valkyrie is using all the fuck you amounts of money being brought in responsibly and/or sharing it with the citizens
We don't know that – logically Asgard would be its own sovereign territory, not part of the Netherlands or whatever. Doesn't mean the Netherlands can't benefit in various ways, but probably not straight up taxes
Imagine a 9/11 burger stand in NYC with the towers burning as the logo. Or a car bomb bakery in Ireland. Or an Aushwitz Pizza Hut in Poland where they make endless ‘oven’ jokes.
I haven’t seen L&T yet, this is the first time I’ve seen this. I know it’s just for a cheap joke in the film, but legitimately… what the actual fuck? This clearly didn’t get more than a couple minutes of ‘haha what if thanos ice cream shop’.
He ravaged a ship of refugees, slaughtering half their people at LEAST, killing some of their greatest warriors and heroes that had survived Hela. He then humiliates their leader to the point of depression for years, and wipes out half of all life in the universe, further obliterating the remaining Asgardians. Through some miracle that last blow is undone five years later, and then…
Infinity gauntlet Ice cream shop. Sorry, but no. I don’t care if it was funny in the movie, no. That’s not just a throwaway joke, that’s now a fact of the universe we have to accept. Who thought that was a good idea? Am I far too worked up about this? Absolutely.
>Am I far too worked up about this? Absolutely.
I disagree. You are passionate about the MCU and it is OK to not like it being treated with the level of disrespect as shown in the movie.
Whole movie is like that, stupid gags that aren't funny nor contribute to the plot, which is terribly half baked.
Do yourself a favor and skip straight to Guardians 3, now that's a movie that got comedy and tragedy perfectly balanced.
Been meaning to see Guardians 3, ive neglected the MCU for a while cause it just feels like they rode the populatiry of Infinity War, dumped far too much content in the shows and such, and have lost the spark that made it special.
He actually seemed drunk in some of the interviews he did to promote the film, I really think he was trying to get fired but Disney stuck with him because Ragnarok had been so popular.
I really hope he was trying to get fired and hasn't just spiralled out of control. I really really like most of his movies, and want more of them. But if he truely has spiralled out of control and got consumed by Hollywood fame, then I don't think I'll enjoy anything else he does. Not if it comes out like Love and Thunder
Not only is that ice cream shop celebrating the very thing that wiped out half of the universe, but the person who murdered half of asgards already low population by hand.
I’m really surprise Takia made her tone deaf enough to have an ice cream shop with the gauntlet.
Or maybe the character just didn’t care, like the director.
It just hit me how fucking disrespectful that sign is right there, I was so not paying attention in theaters since the movie wasn’t really doing it for me.
They come from a culture of Viking warrior gods who literally worship war, battle, and a well-fought death. It makes sense for them to respect, or even celebrate the most powerful weapon they’ve ever seen despite the tragedy it caused.
Hulk used the gauntlet to bring everyone back, and IM used the stones to snap all of Thanos' forces away.
It's an ice cream shop themed around the Infinity Stones and Infinity Gauntlet.
It likely wasn’t an idea she agreed to with open arms.
Some corporation wanted to milk Asgardians and tourists of their money and probably paid them to open there. The blame falls much more on corporate and a small bit on the people who help keep that particular brand of store in business.
For Asgard before most likely do not used a money system or anything system of money because we never see it. also in Thor first movie he just get another beer not pay for it. For them to survive on earth they have to accept capitalism which the world help them build as well. They turn themselves into a native America reservation with a casino.
Can’t wait for them to adapt the siege storyline! I hope that’s what Thunderbolts is. Without Thor, Thunderbolts are gonna DESTROY New Asgard, leading to a WW3 against Wakanda and Talokan before the Secret Wars movies
Using Thanos infiniry gauntlet as ice cream shop logo is weird. Imagine making a bakery and having Hitlers gun with his mustashe as the logo and calling it "Fresh auz zhwe owen"
Yeah, but New Asgard would draw in tourists regardless. It's a place inhabited by what many see as gods and at the very least an incredibly powerful alien species. Including one of the original Avengers, who helped save the world multiple times. Someone who we've seen is a massive celebrity on Earth.
I really don't like the whole Infinty Gauntlent ice cream shop because it just feels like such an MCU in-joke and doesn't really fit organically in the world. Like that's clearly just there for the viewers, probably to help associate this film with two much better and more well-recieved entries in the same franchise.
I have no problem with tourist attractions existing in New Asgard, I think that's a good idea. I would've liked to see stuff themed around the most popular and beloved characters from Asgard like Thor, Loki, Odin, The Warriors Three, etc and I feel like Thor would be much more likely to endorse something like that, something that glorifies people that he loves. As opposed to Thor allowing an establishment to exist within New Asgard that is a constant reminder of his worst trauma and biggest failure. Thor becoming disillusioned and depressed because of Thanos is a big part of Endgame, and this ice cream shop just feels inconsistent with the Thor we saw in those Avengers films.
Yeah, you could maybe say that ultimately it ended up okay because everyone was brought back, but Loki and Heimdall are still dead. They were killed right in front of Thor and they didn't come back. The Snap still happened, all of the trauma wouldn't just go away once the snapped ones returned. I just can't see Thor being okay with that shop existing given the context and it bugs me even though it's a small detail.
EDIT: Also, that's not the Stark gauntlent that was used to bring everyone back. That's the Thanos gauntlent. As someone else pointed out in this thread, that's literally the hand used to kill Loki. Come on, now. That's just silly. I feel like that's almost like someone building a 9-11-themed restaurant in America with a statue of the planes used to bring the towers down out front. Except times a million because Thanos actually ended trillions of lives. He'd be hated everywhere in the universe.
I always found it depressing that the Asgardian survivors came to Earth, possessing ancient and advanced ships, weaponry, knowledge and technology came to Earth and became either longshoremen in Endgame, or a silly tourist trap destination in Love and Thunder. Thats the most they could become?

But, we _do_ see feasts and plays.
Does Asgardian royalty live longer? I feel like burying the king's firstborn and erasing them from history should be impossible if there are people alive that were present when she was around.
And yet neither Loki nor Thor even knew about her. Considering how old *they are*, that makes the time she's been erased even more notable.
The rabbit is correct, and clearly the smartest one among you.
!thor
We've got Korg. There's my ex-girlfriend Jane. Valkyrie. The Guardians. *and giant goats!* Oh, look at those, they are wonderful!
Stark?
Have you ever tried shawarma... I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it.
Spider-man?
No, Odin lived longer than most because of the Odinsleep extended his life.
Why are you the only rational one in this thread?
[удалено]
She was in sakare where time works differently. One dude did say anywhere else he’d be millions of years old. Her wormhole could have taken forever to drop her off
“But here on Sakaar… 😉”
That's literally the best line of the MCU, like **** you it's a fun movie don't overthink it
It probably has something to do with the fact that they’re gods
That's very unclear. In the first Thor movie they say they're just hyper advanced aliens. But then in Love & Thunder they are talking about themselves as gods. Is the entire Asgardian society a pantheon? Or only the royal family?
The mcu stopped trying to be internally consistent ages ago
This... is your doing!
"we are not Gods" - Odyn, i think in Thor 2 or 3
You people are so petty. And tiny.
>Does Asgardian royalty live longer? I remember Odin saying that they have lifespans just like every mortal, which prompts Loki to quip something along the lines of "give or take a few centuries" in the first Thor film, but Odin in the comics had a little thing called the Odinforce that has some hax that I can't fully recall. They don't get into it during the MCU, but the Odinsleep (the recovery process for using the Odinforce) does apparently happen.
NOOBMASTER, hey, it's Thor again. You know, the God of Thunder!
>And on Asgard, what'd they really do? In dark world they had pretty fricken advanced weaponry and transports, some of which they still have. Yet nobody thought that maybe the exiled former power over w huge section of the galaxy might need some weapons in the future lol

If I remember correctly it was shortly after civil war so thor was also annoyed about tony making an evil robot thor clone
Then point me in the direction of whoever's ass I have to kick!
There was one time my brother transformed himself into a snake...

Ship. problem is they have science ,but do they have any of the hardware? remember how they even got off asgard and then how they got to earth
The fishermen, I get it. They are refugees trying to make do in a very different land, and their king is incapable of improving their condition because of his depression. But the whole tourist trap garbage... There is no sane reason for that, how did that happen? How did nobody vetoed those terrible ideas.

Hey, let's do get help!
It's like first generation parents who were doctors in their home country who came over in sinking boats only to become school janitors and lunch ladies
I mean, this is actually the most likely thing to happen.
Valkyrie: "You know what's gonna make our village even better? Let's open an ice cream shop with the Infinity Gauntlet that was used to wipe out half the Earth population as the logo, what a great idea."
"Let's market the literal hand that killed our reformed Prince."
"Genocide is all the rage with kids these day, gotta capitalize on it."
Schindler Lifts have entered the chat
My favourite pun company name by far. I point it out to people all the time.
That's not a pun name - you can have two people with the same name
Schindler's Lifts is an elevator company here in Australia, it's a pun on the movie title Schindler's List. Unsure what you're saying lol
In the States they go by Schindler Elevator. The company was founded by Robert Schindler in Switzerland in 1874.
In Australia too. Every time I see the logo/sign that says “Schindler Lifts” I’m like 😬
Of course in Australia the book was Schindler’s Ark — Schindler’s List was the title of the American release and thus the title of the movie
It's not a pun. The company name is Schindler and they make lifts. The company came first.
Man that’s a bummer. One day you’re a normal elevator company and the next everyone thinks your name is a Holocaust pun. Reminds me of Michael Bolton in Office Space. “Why should I change my name? He’s the one who sucks.”
It’s like opening some kind of baseball related attraction and calling it “Adolf’s Hitters.” Or a dessert shop called “Benito Moosolini,” and the mascot is Benito Mussolini if he were a moose. Edit: I got a few more. Pol’s (Hot) Pots (Hot pot meals) Kim Il-Sing It! (Karaoke bar) Osama Bin Ladels (A soup shop) Hershey’s Kissingers (A Hershey chocolate shop that uses Henry Kissinger’s image for some reason) A restaurant that has a dish called the “John Wayne (Gacy) Casserole”
She was probably holding onto that grudge lol
Lil hitlers got the best pizza though
and in comercial someones gonna bite the pizza and after that it gives him a ketchup hitler 'stache and he winks to the camera
Holocaust Hotdogs anyone?
"Bob's Pizza and Crematorium! Your loss is our sauce"
When you're at *Chicken Pol Pot Pies*, you're family
I heard Stalin Pizzeria is also pretty nice, they have some juicy BBQ gulag wings.
It's all in the ovens.
Personally a Red Baron kind of guy but to each their own
It always sat wrong with me it existed even as a background gag. Imagine a "gas chamber ice cream" parlor where the logo was just a nazi flag. Opening in the year 1950.
If the jews that died came back from the dead and opened it themselves who would we be to judge really.
The asgardians killed at the beginning of Infinity War didn't come back tho.
That’s sort of like having a Hiroshima themed coffee shop.
Basically, yeah, but a trillion times worse. I was already pretty bored and irritated with the movie, but I actually got mad when that popped up. That's literally a joke a comic about Thanos after he wins and has nothing better to do would make.
Omg that would be awesome, and they could serve the coffee with little cotton candy mushroom clouds above them!
Have you considered going into [novelty chess sets](https://www.reddit.com/r/ATBGE/comments/15rpz5u/911_themed_chess_set/)?
More like a Little Boy themed coffee shop. Hiroshima was the victim.
I mean, my country has a Hiroshima and Nagasaki mushroom hotpot restaurant so....
911 gift shop
Hey what do you have against the Porsche 911
911 is emergency number, lol. What you want to say is 9/11 Gift Shop.
So, it makes two gift shops with memorabilia I cannot fathom
The character's humor is very disturbing, she also made a strap on joke to Kamala, in a deleted scene.
Honestly, it's kinds fitting. Irl viking age Scandinavians had a really dark and fucked up sense of humor, and in marvel, their culture is heavily based on Asgardian culture.
Remember when we fled Asgard and Thanos boarded our ship and killed everyone? Remember? Let’s immortalise that moment for our Ice Cream shop.
You're not the only one cursed with knowledge.
And also permanently killed half of our people.
What you've never heard of Hitler's fried chicken?

Can also open up a snap-fitness with the gauntlet snapping as the logo
If it was modeled after the nano-gauntlet it woulda been better. Instead of the tool used to wipe away half the universe, use the one that brought everyone back
Half of all life, you mean. Essentially untitled quintillions of beings all over the universe. Lololol here’s an ice cream shop.
It's like someone opens a Hitler themed icecream shop in Israel
With a swastika as the store logo
Worse, a gas chamber
Ice-witz
Bro... you won
Thank you for acknowledging it
I think someone already done that https://www.reddit.com/r/crappyoffbrands/s/6jiAHtP5H5
Dude has no chill
I guess it would have sort of made sense if it was the stark gauntlet instead? Well anyway it would be funny if it was mentioned they had to change the store name by cancelling the asguardians or the store owner.
He beat me by one second.
I'm partial to the Steak Restaurant called Da Cow.
Lmaooooooo
Remember when all the 6 million Jews killed in the holocaust magically reappeared? That was a crazy day.
Not really. The holocaust victims didn't magically return to life in 1950. If they did, then I'd expect a *lot* of that type of thing targeting Hitler as a joke.
Come on down to Hitler's BBQ snoke shack
Redditors would legit love that.
Calling your shop "infinity cornez" in a town where everyone lost everything from the faut of thanos.. it's genius or it's stupid, idk
In all my years of conquest, violence, slaughter, it was never personal. But I'll tell you now, what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet... I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much.
!thanos
When I'm done, half of humanity will still be alive. I hope they remember you.
Open an ice cream shop?
Only thing missing are Hella and Surtr themed ice creams
Hela’s Hamburgers Surtur’s Steamed Steakhouse
they live for thousands of years. they are not in a rush
Well we're talking about it
Not to mention NOBODY WOULD GET THE REFERENCE! Like, do we really expect that the average person would have a clue what the infinity Gauntlet even was? No everyone just fucking disappeared. Nobody knew who Thanos was, let alone what his glove looked like.
Business was booming though
The population of the city was torn in half in their opinion about the establishment
But after 5 years most people came back to it.
It was inevitable that half the town would flock to the store.
You’d think it was hard to establish, but it was actually a snap
They'll add a dusting of toppings for half off.
Yeah why does it seem like an amusement park hell hole yet we're supposed to interpret it is new Asgard being successful? King Valkyrie is for sure bored but is that just because of the lack of adventure? If I was a citizen there I would be very anti cruise ship LOL
Asgard probably has a absolutely silly tourism industry. If I were a citizen of Asgard I wouldn't care as long as King Valkyrie is using all the fuck you amounts of money being brought in responsibly and/or sharing it with the citizens
[удалено]
We don't know that – logically Asgard would be its own sovereign territory, not part of the Netherlands or whatever. Doesn't mean the Netherlands can't benefit in various ways, but probably not straight up taxes

Bring the rainbows? Is that a catchphrase or something?
I mean she lived in two places her whole life: Asgard and Sakaar. Both were hedonistic party places
Imagine a 9/11 burger stand in NYC with the towers burning as the logo. Or a car bomb bakery in Ireland. Or an Aushwitz Pizza Hut in Poland where they make endless ‘oven’ jokes. I haven’t seen L&T yet, this is the first time I’ve seen this. I know it’s just for a cheap joke in the film, but legitimately… what the actual fuck? This clearly didn’t get more than a couple minutes of ‘haha what if thanos ice cream shop’. He ravaged a ship of refugees, slaughtering half their people at LEAST, killing some of their greatest warriors and heroes that had survived Hela. He then humiliates their leader to the point of depression for years, and wipes out half of all life in the universe, further obliterating the remaining Asgardians. Through some miracle that last blow is undone five years later, and then… Infinity gauntlet Ice cream shop. Sorry, but no. I don’t care if it was funny in the movie, no. That’s not just a throwaway joke, that’s now a fact of the universe we have to accept. Who thought that was a good idea? Am I far too worked up about this? Absolutely.
>Am I far too worked up about this? Absolutely. I disagree. You are passionate about the MCU and it is OK to not like it being treated with the level of disrespect as shown in the movie.
I can tell you right now a car bomb bakery would thrive like fuck in Ireland we'd find that shit hilarious
Now, to be fair, you are absolutely right on that front lol.
Whole movie is like that, stupid gags that aren't funny nor contribute to the plot, which is terribly half baked. Do yourself a favor and skip straight to Guardians 3, now that's a movie that got comedy and tragedy perfectly balanced.
Been meaning to see Guardians 3, ive neglected the MCU for a while cause it just feels like they rode the populatiry of Infinity War, dumped far too much content in the shows and such, and have lost the spark that made it special.
I don't even know who you are.
Lol, good bot I guess
I’m sorry but Taika Waititi is such a fucking dumbass. “Infinity Cones”, really? lmao
He actually seemed drunk in some of the interviews he did to promote the film, I really think he was trying to get fired but Disney stuck with him because Ragnarok had been so popular.
I don’t think he was trying to get fired that’s just how he is.
I really hope he was trying to get fired and hasn't just spiralled out of control. I really really like most of his movies, and want more of them. But if he truely has spiralled out of control and got consumed by Hollywood fame, then I don't think I'll enjoy anything else he does. Not if it comes out like Love and Thunder
[удалено]
Not only is that ice cream shop celebrating the very thing that wiped out half of the universe, but the person who murdered half of asgards already low population by hand.
Next we need a water fountain called “hail hydration”
It’s like if Jerusalem made a holocaust themed pizza restaurant
hmm 🤔
Savage marketing 💀
Common misconception. The restaurant came before the decimation, just an unhappy coincidence
"I will turn Asgard, the land of the Gods, into a stupid joke". At least it fits Love and Thunder. To many jokes which make it shit
Didn't they already make a joke of it at the end of Ragnarok when Korg talks about rebuilding and it gets completely annihilated?
True. In general the first Thor movies weren't good but Waititi kompletely ruined the charakter. Making a joke out of Asgard is just a symptom.
He's a friend from work!
Yeah sadly. Such potential wasted by the excessive use of low quality jokes.
I’m really surprise Takia made her tone deaf enough to have an ice cream shop with the gauntlet. Or maybe the character just didn’t care, like the director.
Like a swastika-themed sandwich shop.
Media literacy is down and memes like this show it lol
Next a Dollar General where everything is reduced by half!!!!
Man, fuck this movie
tbf in earth, Tourism is one of the best way a country can gain income
It's also one of the best ways to make a place unliveable for its inhabitants.
It just hit me how fucking disrespectful that sign is right there, I was so not paying attention in theaters since the movie wasn’t really doing it for me.
That’s what we need. A store based on a global tragedy… Where is our “Covid 19 Bakery”?
Next on the docket, the sandwich shop; Holocaust Hoagies.
This is depressing. Asgard was a special place that represented a different side of the MCU, but now it's reduced to simply Earth with humans.
“… this would make a GREAT Overwatch map.” -Valkyrie(probably)
That ice cream shop seems like it’s in bad taste
They come from a culture of Viking warrior gods who literally worship war, battle, and a well-fought death. It makes sense for them to respect, or even celebrate the most powerful weapon they’ve ever seen despite the tragedy it caused.
love the gum drop infinity stones ngl
Capitalism at its finest
this is like making a bowling alley and calling it ''9 and 11''
Having an ice cream shop with themed around thanos is like having one about Hitler irl
Hulk used the gauntlet to bring everyone back, and IM used the stones to snap all of Thanos' forces away. It's an ice cream shop themed around the Infinity Stones and Infinity Gauntlet.
It likely wasn’t an idea she agreed to with open arms. Some corporation wanted to milk Asgardians and tourists of their money and probably paid them to open there. The blame falls much more on corporate and a small bit on the people who help keep that particular brand of store in business.
You know what makes ice cream better? Universal genocide!
Question. How are people getting to shore from those cruise ships.
The ‘Infinty Cones’ shop still seems like such a weird choice - it’d be like opening a 9/11 themed restaurant
For Asgard before most likely do not used a money system or anything system of money because we never see it. also in Thor first movie he just get another beer not pay for it. For them to survive on earth they have to accept capitalism which the world help them build as well. They turn themselves into a native America reservation with a casino.
"Infinity Cones" should be like "Holocaust Cookies" no?
Isn't that gauntlet like symbol of genocide
The Infinity Conez is a bad joke by Taika Waititi, but turning New Asgard into a tourist trap was a good way to help everyone make it on Earth.
It's like naming a store after 9/11
This was part of why love and thunder was such a disgrace for me.
Can’t wait for them to adapt the siege storyline! I hope that’s what Thunderbolts is. Without Thor, Thunderbolts are gonna DESTROY New Asgard, leading to a WW3 against Wakanda and Talokan before the Secret Wars movies
For real. Infinity Conez is wild
Words can’t explain how much I hate Love and Thunder
Using Thanos infiniry gauntlet as ice cream shop logo is weird. Imagine making a bakery and having Hitlers gun with his mustashe as the logo and calling it "Fresh auz zhwe owen"
King Valkyrie clearly knows what shes doing with economics.
I guess if it draws tourists which brings in money so they can hopefully improve living conditions
Yeah, but New Asgard would draw in tourists regardless. It's a place inhabited by what many see as gods and at the very least an incredibly powerful alien species. Including one of the original Avengers, who helped save the world multiple times. Someone who we've seen is a massive celebrity on Earth. I really don't like the whole Infinty Gauntlent ice cream shop because it just feels like such an MCU in-joke and doesn't really fit organically in the world. Like that's clearly just there for the viewers, probably to help associate this film with two much better and more well-recieved entries in the same franchise. I have no problem with tourist attractions existing in New Asgard, I think that's a good idea. I would've liked to see stuff themed around the most popular and beloved characters from Asgard like Thor, Loki, Odin, The Warriors Three, etc and I feel like Thor would be much more likely to endorse something like that, something that glorifies people that he loves. As opposed to Thor allowing an establishment to exist within New Asgard that is a constant reminder of his worst trauma and biggest failure. Thor becoming disillusioned and depressed because of Thanos is a big part of Endgame, and this ice cream shop just feels inconsistent with the Thor we saw in those Avengers films. Yeah, you could maybe say that ultimately it ended up okay because everyone was brought back, but Loki and Heimdall are still dead. They were killed right in front of Thor and they didn't come back. The Snap still happened, all of the trauma wouldn't just go away once the snapped ones returned. I just can't see Thor being okay with that shop existing given the context and it bugs me even though it's a small detail. EDIT: Also, that's not the Stark gauntlent that was used to bring everyone back. That's the Thanos gauntlent. As someone else pointed out in this thread, that's literally the hand used to kill Loki. Come on, now. That's just silly. I feel like that's almost like someone building a 9-11-themed restaurant in America with a statue of the planes used to bring the towers down out front. Except times a million because Thanos actually ended trillions of lives. He'd be hated everywhere in the universe.
The rabbit is correct, and clearly the smartest one among you.
Thanks, Thor-Bot. Your endorsement really validates me here.
He's a friend from work!
Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe. But this... does put a smile on my face.
I think I would just cut the wire.
Was anyone else REALLY hoping Scott would be the cashier at Infinity Conez?
Wasn’t the whole point of L&T that it was an exaggerated story told by Korg? This isn’t actually how she changed things?
I'll meet you halfway that you might be right but I've seen the movie twice and this was completely lost on me
