I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…

Anyone else had a similar experience with a popular song that you couldn’t explain why it rubbed you the wrong way?

    Immigrant song, in “Thor Ragnarok”, on the bridge scene at the end when he gets his thunder powers back, why did they play immigrant song again? It should’ve been Thunderstruck. It really really really should’ve been. Then Deadpool 2 used Thunderstruck in the parachuting scene and I just wanted to cry. It should’ve been in Thor

    You’re not the God of hammers

    “You’ve been [Thor hits the bridge] thunderstruck”

      I mean, Immigrant Song is about Ragnarok? Not saying that Thunderstruck wouldn’t have been killer, but, thematically Immigrant Song is perfect.

        It don’t actually think it’s about Ragnarok though?

        It’s about Vikings going on raids and Valhalla and all that good stuff but I’m pretty sure there’s not mention of any Ragnarok type stuff.

      I’m with you, but I’m Aussie. The thought of seeing Hemsworth’s God of Thunder make a heroic comeback to the sound of Acca Dacca’s Thunderstruck chills the beer in my veins (in a good way).

      On a (slightly) related tangent, I’ve literally just realised I’ve been incorrectly thinking Immigrant Song was also used for Gadot’s Wonder Woman. It wasn’t, but I definitely wasn’t the only one who thought it was.

      I don’t know man. I thought immigrant song was a perfect fit due to it being about ragnarok.

      Nah. Brothers of Metal, theft of the hammer. “Stealing from a god, you clueless fools… I am the god of thunder!”

      I hate when album style music is played in the context of a movie where the characters can’t hear it.

      I would have preferred something like epic and old sounding for that scene, for example I like back in black in the avengers because it’s literally playing in the world and the characters can hear it.

      The way it’s done Thor Ragnarok just instantly kills immersion.
