November 3, 2017: Thor: Ragnarok Divides the MCU Fandom

And he was like, BLEGHGH! IT'S ME! Or rather, it's us! We're back. This week, Emily and V take a look at the ways that Thor: Ragnarok divided the MCU fandom as a controversial entry into the Thor trilogy and, therefore, the MCU Infinity Saga as a whole. Emily was a long-time Thor fangirl when it came out; it was V's second or third MCU movie, ever. How did these different perspectives inform the ways that they enjoyed -- or didn't enjoy -- the movie?  Also, a bit of The Business up-front: we're back, and we're going to quickly burn off the remainder of the 2025 episodes before getting back on track with being "this week" in fandom history later this month. Thank you all so much for your patience in 2025 as we both had a totally horrible year that affected our schedule so much. We love you! LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT! We'll be attending TGIF/F aka TGI Femslash, which is a small femslash fan con in southern California over Valentine's Day weekend in February.
