The first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok opens not with a bang, but with a wink: the Norse god of thunder in chains, cracking wise. 《雷神3：諸神黃昏》的首版預告片不是用砰的一聲巨響來開場的，而是用雷神的一個眼神來開場的：被鎖鏈束縛的雷神說著俏皮話。
“I know what you’re thinking,” he deadpans in the voiceover. “How did this happen?” Thor might be smart, but in this case he’s wrong. “我知道你在想什麼，”他故作嚴肅地在旁白中說道。“怎麼會這樣？”雷神也許很聰明，但這次他錯了。
What you’re actually thinking is: Is that a joke? In a Thor movie? Followed closely by Wait, is that Zeppelin?! 實際上你在想：那是個玩笑？在《雷神》的電影裡？緊隨其後的是，等等，那是齊柏林飛艇樂團嗎？！
The answer to these questions—because this is Marvel, and Marvel can turn Ant-Man into a juggernaut—is an emphatic “yes.”這些問題的答案就是：因為這是漫威，而且漫威都能把蟻人變成主宰者，所以答案很顯然，“是的，你是正確的”。
Yes, the Ragnarok trailer begins with the churning riff of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.” While the classic rock anthem functions as a punchline of sorts, with its Thor-adjacent lyrics about “the hammer of the gods,” though, it also calls back to something far bigger.是的，《雷神3：諸神黃昏》的預告片是重複演奏著齊柏林飛艇樂團的“移民之歌”來開場的。雖然這首經典搖滾曲中有關於“眾神之錘”等與雷神托爾有關的歌詞，勉強算的上是一種畫龍點睛，但這首歌也使我們回憶起一些更宏大的場景。
Even though the first Thor was one of the earliest installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—and the one that introduced audiences to Marvel’s non-Earthbound heroes—his standalone movies have always been the least vital. He doesn’t have the political intrigue of Captain America or the swagger of Iron Man. He’s just this preternaturally handsome god, you know? This trailer gives him a whole new look to go along with Heimdahl (Idris Elba) and fan-favorite Loki (Tom Hiddleston). Not only does Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) make a surprise appearance, but we get our first looks at Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Hela (Cate Blanchett), the MCU’s first female primary villain.儘管第一部雷神是漫威最早的電影宇宙系列之一，這部影片也向觀眾介紹了漫威想像中的英雄，但他的獨立電影總是最微不足道的。他沒有美國隊長的政治陰謀，也沒有鋼鐵俠的虛張聲勢。他只是個帥出天際的神，你知道嗎？這部預告片賦予了他一副全新的面貌，讓他與海姆達爾（伊德瑞斯·艾爾巴）以及粉絲們最喜歡的洛基（湯姆·希德勒斯頓）同行。我們不僅會看到綠巨人在電影中驚喜登場，還會首次看到瓦爾基里（特莎·湯普森）以及漫威電影宇宙系列中的第一位女性大反派赫拉（凱特·布蘭切特）。
Marvel has clearly included something that the Thor movies have traditionally lacked: fun. Sure, the movies had laugh lines here and there, but by the time The Dark World came around in 2013, things had gotten a little self-serious. For Ragnarok, Thor seems to be heading to quirky-town, particularly when it comes to the trailer’s crescendo, a gladiator face-off with Hulk that prompts the Norse god to hoot, “We know each other! He’s a friend from work!” That move—upending an exceptional situation with day-to-day banality—is one of director Taika Waititi’s greatest strengths, and shows exactly what Marvel was thinking when it hired the guy behind vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows.顯然，漫威在新電影中增添了雷神系列向來缺少的東西：樂趣。當然，雷神電影中到處都是笑料，但在2013年推出《雷神2：黑暗世界》之前，電影本身還是有點嚴肅的。在《雷神3：諸神黃昏》中，雷神托爾似乎去了一個古怪的小鎮，特別是在預告片的高潮，一個角鬥士與綠巨人對峙，促使雷神大喊，“我們相互認識！他是我工作上的朋友！” 那一舉動用日常的陳詞濫調為一個特殊的局面帶來了反轉，這是泰卡·懷蒂蒂導演的強項之一，也恰好表明漫威在聘請《吸血鬼生活》這部吸血鬼紀錄片的幕後之人的時候在想什麼。
Marvel is a well-oiled machine. And now, it has finally become self-aware. It knows what you want, and it’s no longer holding back on delivering it.漫威是一部運行良好的機器。如今，它終於有了自知之明。它知道你在想什麼，而且不再對展示這些想法而有所保留。
