YEAH, re: kind of wanting the stakes to be lower! Like ... on the one hand I REALLY loved the plot, but on the other I felt kind of wrecked by the end?? But mostly absolute kudos to them for pulling off that plot and that tone simultaneously.

THOR'S HAIRCUT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!

Yesssss holy shit the prisoners with jobs line! GOD THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING.

I don't know if the Grandmaster's assistant got a name! But dang I would love a short about her and Skurge being put-upon henchpeople. (And yeeeah, that was kind of one of the problems with Skurge, like, he was STRAIGHT UP TERRIBLE and I'm not sure I genuinely believed his change of heart at the end because I wasn't invested in him NOT being terrible.)

...Funny you should say that scene is a fic prompt, guess what the starting point for the fic I'm wriitng is :D
