In the comic run this is based on we NEVER see Gorr kill anyone, lol. I think... maybe the last temporal god is the only time we see him kill one. Volstagg was strung up for a oneshot, but alive. His planet's golden god I think he killed with a rock... Its almost always a dying god or a dead god that pops up. Gorr was a boogieman in this comic. But, hurr durr, the film isn't serviced at all by watching Gorr butcher random people on screen when we've seen he's killed dozens of gods, even the Asgardians are complaining how he's killed multiple of their soldiers in his attack.

In Thor Gorr is constantly referred to as The God Butcher and he does no God butcher and no the opening doesn’t count because that’s his first kill and it’s mostly offscreen and every other kill is offscreen entirely. Not saying they needed a violent scene of Gorr decimating a god BUT they should have had a god of war type scene of Gorr killing that giant Titan god. Would have been epic and threatening.

[@terminatrix92]

I think Waititi is on the record as saying he did this movie because Akira fell through, which you can feel in this Thor; its like he had nothing better to do so he threw together a story passionlessly. What Waititi had with Ragnarok was a gift; it could only be better than the previous movie. If anything he should have made this film more serious to contrast against the Ragnarok. Focus on Gorr and Jane's darker stories, surprise people with genuine intensity and stakes. But he chose to go the opposite way... this movie is like if Monty Python and the cast of 2005 SNL got together and made a Thor film. Nothing matters, scenes dont run together. But that's what people wanted right?? Pure Waititi. Cant wait for his take on Star Wars

[@Falkaisis]

I feel like a lot of people that hate Thor: The Dark World and say it's the worst Thor movie probably haven't rewatched it. It had a great balance in tones as well as pretty good development for Thor in terms of his progression from the first movie. He felt more humble, selfless, caring, capable, clever, intelligent, strategic, etc. He felt like his was someone who was worthy of Mjolnir. Him saying, "I'd rather be a good man than a great king." to me shows how far he's come and proves that he is a great hero. For me, that's my favorite version of Thor in the MCU. Sure most of Thor's supporting cast don't really do much of anything, but in terms of tone and character development for Thor and even Loki, it's pretty damn good.

19:54 My thoughts on this are that Mjolnir was protecting Jane in the sense that she was going to die regardless, and by draining her power and dying in battle rather than on the hospital bed, she earns her place in Valhalla (I know she technically dies after the battle and there was a running gag that you had to die in the battle to be accepted into Valhalla but whatever). And if anyone's wondering why it calls to her in the first place, it does so for 2 reasons that are established in the movie. 1- Because while they were dating, Thor accidentally does some spell when he asks Mjolnir to protect her, and 2- Because she helped make him worthy in Thor 1 and therefore implies she is worthy.

You sure you don't want to take longer and really do a couple more drafts, and perfect it? That's kind of a red flag. Seems like you could be setting the movie up for a thin and hollow plot.' But I tried being optimistic after a little bit. I loved Ragnarok, so I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Sounds like most reviews agree that it was the exact problem.

A few things I didn’t like/things I expected to happen: 1. Why does Thor have to lose someone in literally EVERY movie he’s in? How many times does he need to overcome his trauma? 2. Like you said with the death fake-out, I really thought Jane was going to die and Gorr was going to wish for her to live. This would allow Thor to actually choose LOVE instead of losing yet another person he cares for. 3. The children getting the powers of Thor made literally no sense. “Most of us have never battled anything” But then all of a sudden can fight like Valkyrie. Overall, I enjoyed the movie for what it was. But I was definitely disappointed with it as a whole.

[@philbattiste9649]

Thor not giving his friends his power all the time makes as much sense as Iron Man not making suits for everyone. Literally build an iron man suit for every Avenger, then have Thor declare: "whosoever wears this armor, should they be an Avenger, shall possess the power of Thor!" Boom. The Avengers can now not lose.

[@thesmity31]

1. Heroes who never lose don't make great stories. 2. I don't know how that would give Thor more of a choice about choosing love. He literally chose to spend his last moment with Jane rather than trying to stop Gorr, and that's the only thing he was able to make a choice about when in that "eternity realm" (or whatever that place is actually called) 3. The power of Thor is a powerful thing. The same can be said about Jane about not knowing how to fight, but I personally think it's an alright use of the "viking space magic" narrative tool. I'm not expecting narrative perfection from superhero stories, and things like that are things I can overlook That's not to say you must overlook that or that there aren't other issues (e.g. my issue with the kids was never having seen them before once, not even Heimdal's son. Or how neither Korg or Valkyrie actually died and seemed to just walk off their deadly injuries)

[@RainOn2SunnyDay]

Reading this i realise that gor could've also wished for jane to survive so she could protect his daughter, seeing as he still hates gods and he said he and jane are the same, so it would make a lot more sense for him to entrust his daughter to her instead of thor, then we could have a jane thor disney+ with love

Alan Taylor claimed the movie was drastically changed to the level of the Snyder cut situation, it would make a bit of sense considering the dumb jokes of Thor 2 with a few good Loki jokes.

Comic Gorr is an incredible villain and the story heavily draws from and plays on his background and psyche. That's why he is so engaging. What's the point in using him as a villain but ditching the depth? Bale was great but this should have been a pure God Butcher narrative and the Mighty Thor storyline could have been set up for the next.

[@ignitetheinferno1858]

The Jane/Hammer/Cancer thing is part of the comics. I think the writers were trying to say, “Realistically, taking the power of gifs isn’t good for humans. As a human, Jane has a choice, she can either have the power or she can live longer. She can’t have both.”

[@Boundless-Boredom]

though the reasoning in the comics makes a little more sense. the transformation into thor essentially resets her chemotherapy treatments as its treated like a poison(and magic is stated to not be able to cure cancer a few times) so she isnt speeding up her death wit her tranformation she is just not able to fight the cancer

[@joaopinto2747]

And in the comics she has a more selfless reason to use the hammer. In the comics Thor becomes unworthy and is unable to lift the hammer. But Jane can and the world needs Thor, which is why she does it. In this movie, it almost comes off as if she were doing it for the thrill. A red flag for me was when she explained how she got mjolnir, and she says she thought magic would work. Whereas in the comics, she’s dying specifically because she wants to treat her cancer using science and is adamant about not using magic.

[@terminatrix92]

I agree with the review on the whole; this film felt like a shallow experience. Waititi's sensibility is very irreverent and subversive, which makes sense after the self-serious Thor films that preceded it. But now the character was redeemed by Ragnarok, not because the film was funny, but because he was brought-low by the destruction of his world and image. And the Avengers films that followed used his new underdog status to make us empathise with a fallen god. Except now its all basically back to full on brashness and if anything Waititi's refusal to take the character seriously starts to grate. Can't he give one heroic speech without it being undercut? Why is Sif a cartoon character now?? How can you call a character God-butcher but show nothing that he does?? And the Ragnarok play with Damon... its re-doing the same joke as the last film.

CONTAINS SPOILER: I must say I actually enjoyed the film quite a bit, and interpreted some things differently, like the kidnapping of the children may not be a point of reference to us but to Gorr. Who now tortures gods with his own pain and sets a trap for them, knowing how far parents are willing to go to protect their children. Who in the end entrusts "his own child" to Thor because he has seen he is not like the god of his planet. In the scene where he talks to his daughter before his death, you can see the reflection of eternity in the water, the fact that only the first one can make a wish and the graphic representation of her powers makes us think that it is not Gorr's child but eternity in the form of his daughter, which would make her one of the most powerful beings.

[@grimmcrag8715]

I think my biggest issue with the film was they kind of reset Thor as a character to how he was at the beginning of Ragnarok. The growth he had through Ragnarok and the last 2 avengers films felt like it had just been erased and he was back to being an oaf.

[@bobc2032]

Yeah I despised that

[@Whimzy74]

I really liked the ending. I thought it was refreshing for the hero to make a plea for peace that wasn't just a warning shot before a fight. Thor and Gorr had both endured tremendous loss but Thor had been able to recover with the love he gained from Jane and friends. Thor understood Gorr's feeling of loss and knew the only thing that could break through to him was a display of love showing Gorr that Thor would choose to spend his final moments with his love. The only thing keeping Gorr from doing the same was the knowledge that his daughter would be alone after he died. I thought it was a pretty powerful plea to Gorr to die with love instead of hate. Saving the world in the MCU is meaningless by now usually resulting in minor character changes and the destruction coming to an end but this one felt like a pretty hefty shift for Thor. Ragnarok is still my favorite MCU but this one was fun and good overall imo.

The best thing about L&T is that it is getting people to finally admit that not only is the first Thor movie actually good, the second one might not be as bad as most people make it out to be. Not sure that's worth a Thor movie that ignores all growth that came before it, but I'll take the small victories where I can get them.

[@almarogu1212]

1. If they wanted to give Thor a kid, they should've move the plot about parenting, fatherhood and such. The bad guy, thor finding himself, starlord and his dad, this gold eyed asgardian and his son. Had potential to plant the seed of the plot. Maybe thor losing his eye again and wearing that patch and then seeing his reflection to see himself as odin. Or something to make thor question what his father made of him. So when they give the kid to thor he can understand what being a father is. 2. At some point I though the hammer was going to split while defending the kids, then the kids will try to help the the hammer will find them worthy and we'll have a bunch of mini thors helping him or Jane. (Spoilers.ahead...something like that happened but it was not as rewarding coz it was not his weapon) 3.The hammer draining Jane could have been handled differently. Maybe mjolnir is helping as it can. Or is draining cancer, or something like Chemo, I mean, if you're making it sentient go a little bit further.

[@mcrolify]

i think that the kids part is more rewarding, because how he does is like he's using the Odinforce, showing how he has matured spiritually. Mjolnir part is coherent with the comic, and it makes sense, because the carcer is part of your body, but the chemo is a poison, and Thor resist poisons and pathogen based diseases

[@McKaySavage]

My thought on the comedy is that in Ragnarok, beyond the directorial choice, in-universe Thor’s new silly airhead humour persona was to cover his pain of loss. Then in Endgame we saw even that broken down. So if Waititi wanted to do his subversion theme and comedy, I really think we should have seen Thor re-taking his silly persona and Jane playing it straight and we seeing how that wall of humour was what drove them apart. And of course we could see him once again putting it aside when it was time to be hero, as he did in Ragnarok. Either way, his comedy persona should have meant something to his arc and explained why he basically reversed psychologically after we last saw him feeling resolution and whole at the end of Endgame.

[@jarektempleton2104]

It’s weird how two people can come away from the same movie with two completely different viewpoints. - I think the odd effects added a sense of style like Sam Raimi’s cheesy horror. I really like it. - This felt completely like a Taika film to me. The humor landed more often than not. That play scene was even more Taika than the play scene in Ragnarok. The randomness of Thor riding Stormbreaker and doing the splits was so Taika and I loved it so much! - I also thought the movie was beautiful to look at. - I think the scene of him giving the children the power of Thor was delivered with such umph, it gave me chills. It also innovated a line and made Thor sound like an Allfather. - The imagery of Eternity, Gorr and his shadows, the Yggdrasil tree shaped lightning pattern seen when he passes the power of Thor to the children. - The theme of love and not wanting to lose Jane again felt consistent. - The narration by Korg was pleasing, like a rom-com- giving Marriage Story vibes - The beginning looked stylistically pleasing to me and I thought that was the perfect opening - It’s ability to shift tone was half and half; there were some great moments with the shadow realm and Gorr as a scary being was great but there were some moments like Korg’s “death” that created a sense of security with the things we love- like the children will never die and Valkyrie will never die. - The ending note of how they go off to bring peace to the galaxy, one called Love and the other Thunder was so gut-wrenching, I cried. - I think this was definitely around Ragnarok lvl; this one just improved on every stylistic and worldbuilding aspect of Thor: Ragnarok. - I do think the pacing was it’s biggest flaw, but also it’s exploration in Gorr’s actual butchering was lacking a lot compared to the comics. I do also think it’s worldbuilding could’ve expanded to the pantheons a bit more- like Bastet. It also lacked in work and reward when it came to the shadow realm or the center of the universe where Eternity lies. The whole idea of using Stormbreaker as the key was cool. Zeus’s lightning bolt being used was cool, though I agree, it should’ve been given a much more grandiose power that truly separates it from Mjolnir and Stormbreaker. I was never a fan of the first Thor film and I always enjoyed the worldbuilding and exploration potential that the Thor stories had, that’s why I often revisit Thor: The Dark World. I prefer atmospheric legend like storytelling and coloration like Thor: TDW or beautiful magnitude and imagery of Thor: L&T than… New Mexico- or that dark monochromatic realm of the Frost Giants.

[@luckyducky9669]

A few things I didn't like... 1. It leaned in way too much on comedy. The third Thor felt like it sometimes went a bit too far but overall was the best Thor film we've seen so far and while the third Thor sometimes crossed the line undercutting important moments with jokes, the 4th one constantly under cut everything with jokes. Not only that but a lot of the jokes in it fell flat for me. 2. Things not being explained properly or things conveniently being there even though it didn't make sense. The reasoning for why Jane could now lift the hammer was pretty bad and I was expecting much deeper then Thor randomly whispering to it to protect her one time. The kids getting Thors powers didn't make sense and was used just to move the movie along and to have a cool action scene. The fact that there's a center of the universe that grants you ANY whish just doesn't make sense I'm not buying it. That could have been helpful in previous movies and it basically acts like all of the 6 infinity stones combined but it had no build up. Another thing is after seeing this movie I was really hoping the way gods work in the MCU would become very clear but I'm still confused. 3. The Guardians of the Galaxy. I wasn't expecting them to have a huge roll since I know it isn't there movie but they were advertised a lot in the trailers and were only there for a few minutes. It feels like most the things they said in the movie were in the trailer. it's almost like false adverting since they were implying that we would get to see them in more scenes. 4. Something about the pacing was just off and felt rushed. Nothing more to say about that. 5. This ones not as deep and important as the other things but just something that I find really annoying is when everyone gets superpowers. If everyone gets superpowers, it makes the powers seem less special and unique since everyone has them. That's why I don't like the plot of jane becoming Thor. If it was just this movie, I'd let it slide, but there are female alternatives to every superhero from the first Avenger movie, which is just lazy. There's a lady Thor, a She-Hulk, a female Hawkeye, Iron Heart, and we even saw a female Captain America in Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness. This movie frustrated me because I was expecting it to be great, to be better then Thor 3, but it was just alright.

[@Riley-ye3gf]

I thought the Korg narration worked pretty well, the tone of the movie was very upbeat and more silly and he adds to that well. But yeah the pacing was odd and the whole quest to omnipotent city in hindsight was just a set up for the Greek gods/ Hercules revenge for another movie rather than adding to this movie.

I thought CG helmets were going to be more of a thing in the film, but Thor wears it once, and his costume, which is admittedly goddy as all heck, is just in direct response to Jane taking his look, so he just over-does his normal armor just to be flashy. Honestly, I loved this movie. The first act feels rushed as its throwing Thor into this situation, but nonetheless, when he's using the Thorforce to empower everyone or opting to choose Jane over death, or being the god Gorr needed, ooph. Love, love, love it all.

[@TheJadedJames]

My take is that Love and Thunder is basically a breezy comedy/romantic comedy with superheroes, it has no ambition to be more than that. And if you try to watch it on any other level you're going to be let down. "Why wasn't it just just Mount Olympus?" because it is funnier if the sequence can incorporate more than just Greek gods, even if Zeus is the only one necessary to the plot.

[@Bindersquinch]

I’m genuinely surprised that everyone hates the costume so much. It is my favourite costume to date. I loved the colours popping and how vibrant it was. I genuinely liked this movie a lot, and bales performance was really good. I also have to wholly disagree with all the comparisons to the dark world. The dark world is dull and drab, and there is (to me) no comparison. I literally can never remember malakeths name unless I’m reminded, I thought Christopher was wasted in that movie, and to say that TTDW looked better than love and thunder is a very big leap.

Cancer is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. In the comics it’s explained when Jane is ‘de-powered’ after a being imbued with Mjölnir, she is technically “restored” because Mjölnir is restoring those cancerous cells, which are seen as a natural part of her, while destroying the chemo, which is seen as a foreign poison. It is not able to differentiate. The film is using the same logic, just doesn’t hand hold the viewer by having a character explicitly state this, rather they simplify it to, “the Hammer is killing Jane.” P.S.: Also, the film does state that the chemo treatment is not helping her; because sadly the reality is even with treatment - cancer can kill you.

[@mystic0screams]

[@scottking8189]

It’s very much just a movie, I though bale had some cool scenes with good acting, nothing surprising from him, but like they did the thing they always do and killed him off, the mcu has such an issue with actually keeping villains around, and that leaves us in the situation now where the only villain they can reuse is abomination and zemo. The comedy was different from the mcu, similar to ragnarok but felt a bit more random to feel random. And I just realised that gorr killed 2 gods on screen, and one we didn’t even see him kill, for someone titled the God butcher it would’ve been nice to actually see him kill one that wasn’t partying. Marvel needs to take a few steps back and get that interconnectivity back, having the guardians show up in this doesn’t feel like anything but something they had to do because of the end of endgame.

Which means even what should be a serious and character driven movie isn’t that because we don’t know what his character even is anymore. ESPECIALLY if you’re going to retread old ground with Jane Foster, out of nowhere for seemingly no reason other than to write her out of the MCU on screen and not leave it up to a throwaway line in whatever movie Thor mentioned she left.

I don't know, I was kind of sad to see so much potential thrown out the window. I gave the movie a 4 as I left the theater but im willing to maybe give it a 6 on a good day.

No one has ever said "wow this cg is so good, I'm glad they didn't use practical effects

[@Sirenhound]

I have to assume that gender just isn't a thing with Kronans (which makes sense since they don't procreate by having sexual intercourse), and they just go with whatever to help their friends adapt. There could be other explanations for why Korg has two dads and a mum (with a boyfriend he hates), but with the "holding hands over a lava pool" thing, this makes the most sense to me.

Can't believe it, dc from 2019 is more consistent than Marvel phase 4 considering the suicide squad, peacemaker, the Batman, joker, Shazam, Aquaman (with the CGI, performances and directing making up for the bad plot for Aquaman but still being better placed than Dr strange 2) Hope marvel and dc get their stuff together and release good competing films.

[@Gusg220998]

Overall I enjoyed the movie but it felt like two movies trying to compete. Thor 4 should’ve been a Guardians + Thor Crossover

You said what I couldn’t find the words for. I kept telling people “something is missing. It’s like how you feel after eating sushi. Like, you know you just ate, and it was enjoyable, but afterward you don’t feel like you just ate a meal.”

[@redmistbluemiss]

I would've made it about them going to different locations assembling a team of different gods to defeat Gorr

[@luckybuckeye2283]

Thor Love and Thunder is … Watchable and Passable. For me, I watched for the return of Jane Foster and I wasn’t disappointed. Natalie Portman finally got to shine in a Thor film and that’s what kinda mattered to me.

[@Zach90888]

I really loved this film, 2nd best or maybe best of phase 4 But I can’t shake the feeling that Thor doesn’t work quite as well without Loki

[@thomasthunder5887]

He dose just tikia sucks at making an independent Thor movie

[@jessicahogan7248]

Loki was the anti-comedy relief that we needed. He's sarcastic, wry, witty and threatening without doing anything. In this movie everyone was on comedic helium and there was no Loki to ground things. I thought Jane's catchphrase gag was cute but that on top of Thor AND Korg (and the childish narration), the screaming goats and Valkryie (who isn't taken seriously) was just too much. What would have been perfect was Loki standing behind a certain someone in the second post credit scene to greet the newcomer.

[@epicmusic9029]

I doubt taika waititi didn’t care, dr strange 2 and Thor 4’s runtimes were dramatically reduced. Dr strange 2 had a 10 min prof x fight, a 616 mordo scene and the destruction of kamar taj in the end. Thor 4 had completely deleted whole planets and worlds. Both movies had reshoots and ended up being underwhelming.

[@litcomicsproductions5359]

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is a reminder that no amount of money can compensate for poor planning or low effort, both in crafting a compelling story and depicting cinematic spectacle. Two hours of antiseptic images support a ramshackle “script” that stumbles to a baffling conclusion.

[@Player-re9mo]

The main problem was that the director tried to tell 2 long different stories in 1 short movie. Thor vs Gorr should have been it's own movie and the same applies to Jane Foster. Gorr barely appeared on the screen, wasn't developed enough to feel like a real threat. You can replace Gorr with that Elf villain from Thor 2 and the story would have been the same. It wasn't Christian Bale's fault, but that of the script writer. In this movie Gorr is a forgetable villain. Jane Foster deserved a movie of her own. There should have been more focus on her struggle to fight cancer while also trying to protect the world from villains. I think these 2 stories don't mix well together, because you can't fully develope one without taking the center stage from the other. What we got was a half-baked compromise which fails to deliver a memorable villain and it's serious moments are compromised by childish humor. I am not against comedy, I even enjoyed some of the jokes, but they remove any sense of danger from the villain's part and they take from the time which could have been used to improve the plot. I'm tired of this depressed Thor who is constantly dealt bad hands. This guy went through so many emotional crisis by this point (all his family dead, his home destroyed, his friends either died or left him and his ex girlfriend had cancer). Why does Marvel hate Thor so much? Will we ever see a movie where he tackles his issues head on without everything being turned into a joke? Will we see Thor take responsibility and lead his people like the hero his father wanted him to be? Not in the MCU, that's for sure!

[@Goonlord]

I thought I was going crazy before seeing this video. All the initial reactions I've seen have been so positive for this movie, I just don't get it. Thor showed such promise as a character and this movie looked to capitalise on it, and yet, it just didn't? Gorr gave the movie SO MUCH to work with but it was all squandered. So many questionable decisions Also, what the fuck is with society's perception of sexual assault/harassment that we can have a man restrained and his clothes removed without consent and it's played for laughs? Imagine the genders were swapped and the crowd of (now) men are oogling a naked, bound woman? This shits crazy man like wtf

[@harmonygalvin1814]

Absolutely true. This is the movie that proves Martin Scorsese’s quote about these movies being rubbish. Look at how far the MCU has fallen since films like Civil War and Homecoming. A rotten Apple among the MCU, and one that will be seen as a complete embarrassment in a couple years.

[@demiancobos2758]

I liked more "Shakespeare in the Park" Thor than "Dumb/Clumsy" Thor. I liked Ragnarok a lot, don't get me wrong, I thought it was a well balanced Funny/Driven Thor but a lot of stuff like the joke "We can rebuild" (Asgard) got me feeling like "that wasn't it mate, not at this moment". I liked miss Thor from Thor 1/Avengers movies but I feel that Thor in The Dark World was a more Comics accurate Thor than the sad parody we got here....ever since they made him Fat Thor.....he started to go down for me :(

[@cameronsidhu5711]

Yep I agree, can't believe I'm thinking dark world might be better than love and thunder, at least in Dark world we got some amazing hammer action with mjolnir flying into space, and interesting gravity portal mechanics. Also not cringing at jokes that feel like they're from a kids film every 3mins
