Honest Trailers | Thor: Love and Thunder

[@motherplayer]

I can't wait til the next Thor film where he has to find himself AGAIN when he realizes he doesn't like being a single parent much and goes through his midlife crisis in trying to get back to when he was young, unattached and fighting all the time. We can call it "Thor: Just start a bookclub already".

Totally agree with Honest Trailers. Focusing more on Gorr's god-killing mission would've made for a vastly more interesting movie, especially considering he was arguably the best thing about the way the whole thing turned out. But oh well. Let's see Paul Allen's Gorr

I'd swear they had Gorr kidnap the kids specifically so he wouldn't be too sympathetic. It's something the MCU seems to be having a problem with. They create a bad guy with complex, defensible motivations - so the writers make them do something totally heinous, even if it's arbitrary or out-of-character.

Nice job, guys. My biggest gripe with the movie is how they took such an epic, vast story with tons of cinematic potential and then watered it down until it’s barely recognizable. The God Butcher comic has time travel, a massive scope, Gorr is a legitimate serial killer. Basically if you want to see this story done right read the graphic novel. It’s Thor meets God of War.

[@LtCatscratch]

I haven't seen Gorr in the comics but i imagined he would be like Willian Wallace going on the lords that wronged him. I half expected the movie to be like thor and the gang trying to save each god Gorr aims and spectacularly failingl to do so until Zeus.

[@rogueguardian]

My big question is how does taika go from having balanced humor and emotional beats to literally making a comedy sketch movie? remember the Thor Ragnarok trailer where they show thor in the alleyway? Hella appears all that? In that scene he was supposed to find his father Odin homeless and get a mini pep talk, hella actually was supposed to kill him in that scene unceremoniously. Taika then went to reshoot it to give Odin A more tasteful death. So in that regard he knew how to balance it and even shows he has restraint with his humor. And I honestly do commend him for that, he took the time to make a better send off for Odin. I still think he's made some great movies it's just baffling how that professionalism was just gone in this one.

[@aweleoniah476]

exactly! i expected so much from him

[@rebeccahicks2392]

Taika is great when he's doing his own projects, and a terrible choice for something like the MCU. His strength is coming up with very original ideas, and building everything around that. Just doesn't work, though, when the world and characters are already pre-decided.

But I also like that it was hovering, like it was waiting for her to say yes or no. (With the sense of personality they give Mjolnir and Stormbreaker in this film, I kind of imagine Thunderbolt saying to Zeus "Hey you've been doing party tricks with me for three thousand years - I'm going with the people who want me to be an actual weapon - bye!").

[@thedoctordb5765]

I thought there were some pretty good moments in this movie, and I especially liked how Gorr was written. Most villain types will just continue to kill for no reason, despite having been presented a solution to the thing that made them angry in the first place. Props to Gorr for actually wishing his daughter back when given the chance instead of just being like, "Nah, I'm evil now." But... then they did the exact opposite with Zeus. Instead of, "I can't believe I'd forgotten what it means to be a god" his reaction was, "Dude... they can't do that... Shoot them, or something." Didn't really have an issue with much else but the anthropomorphizing of the weapons ended in the flattest way possible. After all that he still ditched Stormbreaker for his old fling. I mean I do get it, but that's on them for setting up a situation in which it actually feels stupid for Thor to get the hammer back. There was no reason for them to highlight that. It was cool the first encounter because even in the first movie we get the sense the weapon has some greater sense to it (it'll know when someone's worthy, after all). But going that far with the relationship aspect just destroyed the idea of seeing him back together with the hammer... which is eventually what they did. They could've focused on Stormbreaker instead and made it feel more meaningful that he'd give it up for the kid, rather than it feeling like he stabbed the weapon in the back by lying to it lol

[@gajaan316]

Based on the post credit scene, Zeus character might pop off in a bad way (i mean like its a good way, but its for bad reasons). Other than Asgardians, Gods seems to only rely and care for the fear and worship that mortals give to them. That has always been the status quo so the gods can do whatever they want. But now, thanks to Thor, it seems that people forgot who to fear and give their lives to, praising the "heroes", instead of giving up their lives to the gods. So hopefully, if he comes back, he will be the villian with this motivation

[@tonyjackson4078]

Well it could go another way. In Ultimates that Thor uses a Mjolnir that looks like MCU Stormbreaker. In comics the Stormbreaker is actually first used by Beta Ray Thor. This could lead to that characters introduction.

[@Dac629]

He sort of had to use mjolnir at the end, the little girl probably isn’t worthy yet.

[@superboyprime515]

I mean IT seems like she has Eternity powers so I don't think she needs a weapon at all.

[@davidlundquist1979]

Well, to be fair, Zeus has always been a self-absorbed jerk. But given that Zeus' father devoured his own children whole in order to keep them from usurping his throne, it's kind of hard to blame Zeus for not being the most well-adjusted god.

I've been of fan of Leung for quite some time and was over-the-moon when I first heard that he was joining the MCU, only to feel a little disappointed when I realized that he was (most likely) only going to be in one film.

Yeahhh, I really feel like a lot of people missed the point of Love and Thunder. It's entirely about dealing with depression, and the ways in which grief can impact a person. Viewed through that lens, the humour (and occasional lack thereof) and inconsistent tone make far more sense - dealing with depression can produce far more dramatic rises and falls than living without it. Not to say the movie is perfect - it isn't. But I think people have been dogpiling too hard and not really bothering to try to understand the text - a growing problem in today's world (possibly brought about by American antintellectualism).
