That Russel was doing a bad impersonation of the Greek accents he hears when growing up is a) really not very PC :P, and b) hilarious, which is frankly why I hate all this PC BS.

Fun fact: the screaming goats are actually from mythology. According to Norse legends, Thor had two goats that pulled his carriage, and every night he would kill them and eat their meat, only to bring them back to life in the morning. I'm pretty sure that's what Thor's line about "using them for meat... ing people" was referring to.

[@davidbergfors6820]

I'm pretty sure the eating it every evening is the boar Saehrimnir, separate from the goats. Thor having a Chariot driven by two goats is correct though, him riding the skies and hitting his hammer on the chariot is what causes the thunder. I guess the same thing of an ever replenishing meal may have transferred onto other animals in the norse mythology too...

They then used those crayon drawings as the base to design the monsters that Gor summons.

This actually mirrored the comics where Jane did become Thor to use the power to keep her cancer at bay.

[@DrLipkin]

Except in the comics, becoming Thor purged her of all toxins. This seems like it would be a good thing, but it also purged all of her chemotherapy. So while becoming Thor prolonged her life, it also prevented her from going into remission.

[@jimdigitalvideo]

Just a bit more detail: In the comics the hammer was trying to heal her, but it was unable to see the cancer because it was a part of her. It did manage to expel foreign contaminants, but unfortunately, this was the toxin that was fighting the cancer, which allowed the cancer to advance. In the movie the hammer was taking her mortal energy, which allowed the cancer to spread that way.

The scenes with Mighty Thor were amazing, and it broke my heart a bit at the end.

Fun fact for Ash(and potentially you: All Black, the Necrosword is a symbiote(yes, as in Venom, Carnage, etc;)that was forged into the shape of a blade. The Wolf Woman is Chris Hemsworth's real wife, young Thor is his actual son and Love is played by his daughter. The shadow monsters were all real things drawn by the kids of people who worked on the movie when asked to draw monsters that scared them. Christian Bale was absolutely awesome as Gorr and I don't even care about how different he looks from the comic character, he is just captivating in how well he played him.

The whole movie is a story told by Korg..l and that is the biggest reason I dislike this episode of Thor. Because a) I really don't care for Korg as a character, b) the jokes were stupid and overdone, c) giving the hammer and ax personalities and portraying them as living, independent entities was stupid, played for stupid jokes, d) I feel Korg narrating was just Taika's way of getting more screen time and voice-over pay. It did nothing to serve the narrative, distracted from the real stories of Thor and Jane and Gorr, and, again, I don't like Korg as a character. He could have stayed gravel for all I care. And e) take out Korg and his stupid humor, the anthropomorphic hammer and ax, and the silly Zeus, and you have a decent story. I do love Hemsworth's daughter as Love. Her performance in the end was so natural it was great.

And you see him kill one God after another. Then he gets to Thor. They fight a titanic fight. But then in a shocking moment, you have Thor actually renounce his Godhood and powers cause he is so afraid to die! It leads to the next movie where without a Thor, the hammer choose Jayne to be the successor.

[@MrGBH]

In a way, this is a movie about grief. Thor, Jane, Valkyrie and Gorr have all lost everything precious to them, and are not coping. Thor lost his home, his family, his best friend and his hammer. He's in the denial stage, using humour and a goofy personality to avoid dealing with things. Valkyrie lost her home as well. But since she's in charge, she's doing what she can to preserve Asgardian culture. Even if that means turning it all into tourist attractions (And doing corny Direct Line adverts) Jane's is obvious. She's dying, and is using Mjolnir to pretend she isn't. Gorr's in the Anger stage.

According to the comics, every time Jane turned into Thor, it undid the little beneficial effects the chemotherapy was having, accelerating the cancer's progress. According to Norse mythology, the goats were Thor's primary means of travel, so their use in the movie is accurate to the mythology more than comic lore. And it never occurred to me that Kronan's are the same as Moclans in The Orville, being a predominantly single sex species. lastly, the goats crashing into the planet because perspective was messed up nearly ranks as high as Bruce going splat on the Bifrost in Ragnarok for pure, unexpected physical comedy. :D

The Odin play actor was Sam Neill who was the captain in Event Horizon

Hey Ashleigh, first time commenter (I have literally never commented before) and longtime viewer here; firstly, thanks for giving this flick a chance as the movie was not too warmly welcomed due to its abundant jokes + simplified adaptation of the original comic-based story. But, u were able to look past that while accepting and enjoying the film for what it is and that is a special feeling; liking something that is not as popular. I think I understand where different audiences come from. Second, I know Patreon is used for suggesting flicks yet I have never been on it but, I suggest trying the MCU defenders shows though it would take a while; be sure to look up its watch order if interested. Sorry about the wall of text, thanks for the reactions so far + reading this if ya did; jingle beans all the way❕

Let's do some math: It's crazy to think that Ashley takes all the time she can to check the Marvel Movies, yet, she is 5 movies away from catching up (Black Panter, Ant Man, Gotg, The Marvels, Deadpool and wolverine). But, she still has to watch some marvel shows (Hawkeye, Moon Night, Ms Marvel, She-Hulk, Secret Invasion, What If S2, Echo, Agatha). If she, non stop, post a marvel video every week, and considering it's 3 episodes per video: She has 19 more weeks of marvel. But that's only if she caughts up until now, in the mean time other marvel projects would make their debut, so it's actually 34 weeks of marvel content she has left. Making her being completly caught up on the 8 of august 2025, just after the Fantastic Four and just in time for Eyes of Wakanda (Tho, If we considered that Fantastic Four would take a while to be available in streaming, its only 33 weeks, the 1st of august). (And this doesnt take into account the Defenders saga, Into the spiderverse saga, or the alredy dead Sony Universe, if we did, she definitely has a solid year)

13:00 It's a Valkyrie Steed called Warsong. There is only one winged horse called Pegasus. Pegasus is just one winged horse not a species.

Love, Kate…Isaiah Bradley’s grandson from Falcon & The Winter Soldier, Scott Lang’s daughter Cassie, Skaar (teehee), Harley from Iron Man 3 & a cameo in Tony’s funeral from Endgame…almost like there could be a group of young…Avengers?

Thor will only be with Jane in Valhalla if he dies in battle. If he pops his clogs some other way, he'll be spending his afterlife kicking rocks by himself. I'm sure you've figured out that Russel Crowe was Zeus, but did you spot Matt Damon playing Loki in the play in Asgard, Luke Hemsworth playing Thor, and the magnificent Sam Neill as Odin?

44:17 Yeah here's the thing about the Greek Gods. No matter what aspect of human emotions or the natural world they rule over/embody, the majority of them have pretty short tempers and won't forget or forgive an insult easily. This is actually kind of rare for them, to send someone like Hercules (actually Herakles, meaning glory of Hera which was probably an attempt to placate her but more likely only infuriated her more since he was another result of her husband cheating on her, the Romans called him Hercules) to just kill Thor, the greek gods don't normally go for the straight kill. I always figured it's because they don't have any say as to where they'll go in the underworld since Hades and the underworld gods are the only ones who have any say in that, so they find some other way to make those who offended them miserable while they're alive.

Ashleigh this is one of the few movies I've seen after the end games. I thought was pretty good I like the whole cameos in it. And I love how Ashley goes who is Russell Crowe and she says that as she sees the end credit there with Russell Crowe as Zeus.

I wasn't really in love with this movie first time I saw it. But at second and third viewings I knew what I was getting into, and could appreciate what it's trying to do. Movies generally work better when you accept them for what they are.

Luigi the CEO butcher is a great name rewatching this in current times
