A ) It was Taika. B ) It was the goddess of death. C ) There’s never been a female Marvel villain.
Interesting that the director (Taika Watiti) was her #1 reason, considering he hasn’t director a lot of movies. I rather appreciate her final reason, as it actually hadn't occurred to me before now. She's gonna be great.
As someone who has seen and loved both, "Hunt for the Wilder People" and "What We Do in the Dark," both directed by Taika, I can understand her #1. That said, this likely will be a little more Guardians of the Galaxy kind of fun, which I'm okay with. IMDB says he also directed a couple of Team Thor shorts. Regardless, Blanchett is amazing.

Agreed.
And FWIW I thought "What We Do in the Shadows" was brilliant. Have you seen the original short? It's on YouTube.
I'm beginning to think more and more that if the MCU plans to show a physical embodiment of the object of Thanos's desire, then it will be Hela playing that role. After Thor Ragnarok, she will already associated as the Goddess of Death which would provide enough audience setup for Infinity War.
According to Screen Rant, during a visit to the Thor: Ragnarok set, producer Brad Winderbaum revealed that, while the Avengers have been clashing on Earth, Thor has spent the past few years hunting for Thanos:
“The journey he’s been on at the beginning of this movie, it’s not like five minutes after Ultron ends we start this movie: it’s a couple years later. And as we know, at the end of Ultron he’s started this quest to find the puppet master, and the Infinity Stones, and all that. What he realized really fast – I don’t think I’m giving too much away because it’s right at the top of the film, but basically that one quest, that universe-ending peril that he was trying to figure out dovetailed or branched off into any number of universe ending-perils that he’s been adventuring on for the two years leading up to the beginning of this film.”
Just got back from this, really good stuff. So many elements pulled from different comics, seamlessly stitched together through art direction and dialogue.

Too jokey? On another forum I keep reading people who haven’t seen it shit on the movie as being too jokey.

Some people are apparently humorless and like to shit on things.

It was a delight throughout.
I’m not sure of the level of humor, but I read the director used Big Trouble in Little China as part of a demo reel of his vision to Marvel. That alone makes it seem very interesting.

If this film delivers even a fraction of what the trailers promise, Marvel will have knocked it out of the park.

You know what I like it. Get in tell your story, then get out.
Although, now that I think about it, there HAVE been female Marvel villains in the MCU...
And FWIW I thought "What We Do in the Shadows" was brilliant. Have you seen the original short? It's on YouTube.
