Thor Ragnarok: Why does not the Great Master (Jeff Goldblum) look like the comic character?

Yes, it’s true, the Grand Master played by Jeff Goldblum in Thor: Ragnarok, does not exactly resemble the version present in the comics. And there’s a good reason for that!
You will have noticed, comic characters, superheroes as bad guys, often have looks a bit … exotic. To be nice. And sometimes, these extravagant looks with flashy colors are rather bad on the screen (ask Superman …). So, for the studios, it is often a question of finding the right balance between respect for the original material and sense of aesthetics. No, because a bad guy who walks in blue and yellow tight suit is rather laughable and, as a result, his dignity takes a hit. Besides, if you’ve seen the different images and the trailer of Thor: Ragnarok , it will not have escaped you. The god of Asgard changed his outfit and cut his hair. But he is not the only one to have undergone some changes along the way. This is also the case of the Grand Master , played by Jeff Goldblum in the film, an inveterate player who is still part of the Deans of the universe. In comics, the character wears a long yellow dress and, above all, has a blue skin. Well, so much to say that it stings a little the eye! However, when the trailer of Thor: Ragnarok was unveiled, it was soon realized that, no, the Grand Master of Jeff Goldblum would not be blue . ” But why ?! “, it is immediately exclaimed thousands of fans through the galaxy Marvel. Has a blue skin. Well, so much to say that it stings a little the eye! However, when the trailer of Thor: Ragnarok was unveiled, it was soon realized that, no, the Grand Master of Jeff Goldblum would not be blue . ” But why ?! “, it is immediately exclaimed thousands of fans through the galaxy Marvel.

Yes, why is the Grand Master not BLUE in Thor: Ragnarok and why does not he finally look so much at his version of the comics? Taika Waititi , the director of the film, has a very good explanation to give . One could believe that it has something to do with a rendering possibly not very realistic or with, precisely, the fact of letting the character retain his dignity of Dean. But, of course, with Taika Waititi, nothing is ever taken for granted. And to the question of why Jeff Goldblum is not covered with a blue painting, posed by IGN, he answers quite naturally: ” Because he already made a film in which he was blue .” OK. In fact, the film in question does exist, But to know what the director is talking about, we must go back to the late 1980s – decade of questionable dress styles if any. In fact, it is Terran Objective , in which Jeff Goldblum played … a blue extraterrestrial . Decidedly! So of course, one understands the choice of Taika Waititi. The innocent Mac should not be confused with the wily Grand Master. That said, in melty, it is said that not giving an indigo skin to the latter is more common sense than anything else. And then, Yondu, of the Guardians of the Galaxy , is already there to represent the blue community of the MCU, anyway. At the worst, we can always admire the perfect make-up of Hela (Cate Blanchett), the villain of Thor: Ragnarok !
