He was too good for this film. Taika Waititi is a one trick pony, any attempt at a serious plot is beyond him. Joe Joe Rabbit only worked because he could frame everything as a joke from the child's perspective.

[@Alicthewriter]

@@Valehass Just made this same comment. If he wanted to tell a serious story, he needed to get rid of the Ragnarok humor. Gorr is slaughtering everyone Thor cares about and cannot be beaten. Jane is dying. But hey, we still have time for zany hijinks! Naked Thor! Hahahaha!

[@MrTBSC]

​@@Alicthewriter "he needed to get rid of the Ragnarok humour" ... i think ragnarok´s humour was rather well placed ... i mean it´s still a film with a literally unstoppable antagonist that only was defeated by having the world/planet she was on corenuked ... Dark World had less humour but still was bland the first thor movie even with a balanced amount humour was decent at best soooo i think it´s not so much a matter of not having any humour but simply a well told and presented story ... the problem is Love and Thunder went TOO over the top with the humor AND had a bland story

[@Alicthewriter]

@@MrTBSC You misunderstand. I liked the humor in Ragnarok. But this movie needed to be something different. All the MCU movies have taken after GotG and Ragnarok in making them constant goof-fests. Those movies were great for it, but it's becoming a rote trope. Remember the first Iron Man. He's literally executing terrorists. The humor present is limited and sparse in that film and it works so well. Why can't we have more of that? Especially when you get the actual American Psycho to play the lead villain called The God Killer. Its part of the reason the MCU has become so boring in recent years. Edit: I just noticed your post was collapsed. It seems we agree 😂

I think Hemsworth is still professional, but his hands were kinda tied unfortunately due to his contract.

[@clanwaddell5628]

He was the wrong villain for Love and Thunder because he doesn't fit with the comic tone. Ragnarok worked a lot better because of the relationship between Thor and Hulk/Banner. To me, this should have been a darker story and being so silly, it kind of clashes with Gorr and his mission.

I have to admit, the emotional range Christian Bale shows in just this scene is truly magnificent. From his adoration and admiration at first beholding Rapu (You can tell he had longed for that moment his entire life), to briefly laughing along with Rapu and the dryads until he realizes the "joke" is on him, to his desperately begging for help and relief, to growing disillusionment over Rapu's callousness, to righteous anger as he renounces Rapu, which he then lets finally evolve into a calm, steely, merciless bloodlust. An amazing emotional journey in less than four minutes, and all portrayed flawlessly. Bravo!

One could argue that the god guy was just that arrogant that he couldn't even conceive of the mortal using the sword on him, but we know the true reason is that Taika Waititi has undisguised contempt for the audience and goes out of his way to insult their intelligence. I mean, why was the sword even there at all? What are the odds that the one person in the whole universe who might get upset enough to kill a god blunders across the one, specific god that broke his heart and ruined his life mere moments after some guy brings the only thing that can kill a god to that exact location? On a related note, in the first Thor movie, Odin explicitly says on-screen about Asgardians that "we are not gods: we are born, we live, we die. Just as humans do, give or take 5000 years."

@@ElriuhiluDude, that’s literally how fiction work😂

[@Elriuhilu]

@@antekmoniek7077 There's a limit to how many coincidences can happen at the same time and still be believable. Writing a non-comedic scene in which too many unrelated things happen that weren't set up earlier because "otherwise there would be no story" is the mark of either an amateur or someone who doesn't give a shit and just wants to get it done so they can go home. The way this scene unfolds is as if a ten year old was playing in his backyard, making up the story on the spot. "Then the god says 'hahaha, I don't care that you're sad about everyone being dead because I'm a bad guy. You can't hurt me anyway.' But the god didn't know I have the only thing that can kill a god, it's the, uh..."-quickly looks around and sees a stick-"it's this sword. The sword of, uh, dea- the Death-sword! So I easily kill the guy and then I say 'all gods will die' and I look cool and awesome. Mum, can I have an ice lolly?" What they should have done instead of this scene is something like: have the guy with the sword attack a different god and injure them before being defeated, to demonstrate the sword is lethal to gods; have the sword then escape being destroyed by dissolving away into the shadows so we know the sword is alive or sentient or whatever; then separate from all that, have Gorr find Rapu's garden and find out Rapu is a complete fuckhead; Rapu breaks the last piece left of Gorr's heart, Gorr falls into anguished rage and denounces Rapu, who has such contempt for mortals that he simply laughs and throws Gorr into a ravine or something; Gorr weeps openly with impotent rage as nearby shadows coalesce into the shape of the Necrosword; the sword soothes Gorr's broken heart, tells him what Rapu did is unforgivable and that it will give Gorr the power to punish Rapu; Gorr accepts and takes up the sword; he returns to Rapu's garden, Rapu gets annoyed that he came back and tries to kill him as if he were a simple pest, but doesn't realise Gorr has the Necrosword now and is executed; as Rapu dies, the sword tells Gorr that all gods are like Rapu, arrogant and contemptuous, so Gorr announces "then all gods must die" and the scene ends.

[@duloth5518]

Its pretty clear that some ancient powerful being had been wandering around with the sword for a long time; but, based on the reactions of the other gods, not nearly as dangerous as Gorr; it wasn't until Gorr acquired the sword that the gods were in a panic, fleeing, running; most likely, something about Gorr makes him more dangerous than his predecessor once he has the sword; after all, could you imagine this gold-bleeding wanker being able to casually murder someone that can stand up to two Thors in a fight? No. They thought the threat was done, that Gorr was helpless, and they had no reason to worry. @@Elriuhilu

Can we also take a moment to appreciate actor Jonny Brugh here as Rapu.

Which is no small feat in only a few minutes of screen time, really.

If the source material is mediocre, the complementing material is mediocre and the production company has always been producing mediocrity, then no matter how good the director is: he will still produce mediocrity.

[@S-Fan2006]

I feel like it fits Rapu, like the water is a symbol of life, and it being dirty is a metaphor for Rapu not caring about the lives of others. Even if it wasn’t intentional, it works well as a metaphor for Rapu’s selfishness and how many lives it costed, and simultaneously what Gorr would become. I just wish the rest of the movie was as good as Gorr’s origin story.

I think one way to make the movie better is that we should have more of Gorr's POV, kind of like what they did with Thanos. More scenes, more Gods being slaughtered. If they have balls they can use known Gods and sacrificed them to Gorr.

[@curranfrank2854]

I agree, but it shouldn't have been a movie, imo, it should've been a miniseries. The tonal stuff is the worst part of the movie, but it also introduces and then discards way too many ideas- they're bringing Jane back, making her the Mighty Thor, AND she has cancer. You still need to continue Thor's character arc from Ragnarok through Endgame. You have a person hellbent on killing all of the Gods, which incidentally is an aspect of your universe you never explored outside of the Asgardians. You have Thor with the GotG at least for part of it. It's just way too much to do justice in a movie, even if it was better made. A miniseries would make it easier to more fully develop the story, including having more Gorr scenes

[@Aaron-kj8dv]

Thor 4 should've probably been 2 movies or they could've made Gorr the big bad. Especially now that they either fired or are gonna fire Jonathon Majors, they need a top villain and they busted their load on a villain with a director who had no clue how to use him. In the comics he's more brutal and has more bloodlust. He's actually super scary. Here he feels kind of generic.

@@curranfrank2854 Apparently Waititi made it like 4+ hour movie and that's why it's so chopped up and clunky. People blame the studio but it's still his fault because no one is going to pay to watch a 4 hour movie and if he doesn't know that then he needs a new line of work.
