Thor is Funny and Iger is Musical - The Disney Movie Review 122

This week, Fans are mad that Thor: Ragnarok is going to be funny, but Director Taika Waititi is making it clear that he doesn’t really care. Someone thought it was a good idea to make a music video for Beauty and the Beast, but they were very wrong. Plus, Bob Iger quoted the musical Hamilton during the annual Shareholders meeting, so we made him a musical. That and much, much more. For the week of March 13, 2017 this is episode 122 of the Disney Movie Review.

Loki told Fandango that Thor Ragnarok is going to be the funniest Thor yet.

This caused fans to go crazy, but the Director didn't really care.
