THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER (2022) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@Cadinho93]

Fun Fact: the little girl that played Gorr's daughter is Chris Hemsworth's real daughter and the little boy that was a young Thor from the running sequence at the beginning is Chris Hemsworth's son as well. His other son was one of the kids in the final battle and so was Taika Watiti's, Christian Bale's and Natalie Portman's children also Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Patakay was the Wolf Woman and just like Ragnarok his brother was actor Thor.

"Whosoever be worthy of this hammer shall possess the power of Thor." That's what Odin said (to the hammer) in the first movie. When Thor asked the hammer to protect Jane, she became worthy of it. So when Jane went to visit the remains of the hammer, it reformed to protect her, and thereby she gained the power of Thor. At least, that's how I interpreted it.

You don't need to be worthy to wield Stormbreaker, that's only Mjolnir. And the reason Jane get's the powers of Thor when she wields Mjolnir is because of the spell Odin puts on it at the beginning of the first Thor movie “Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.”

I loved this movie! It’s about dealing with grief. All the movies since Infinity War have been so dark, which is fine but now they have to show how everyone deals with trauma/grief. Thor lost his entire family, the love of his life, good friends/Avenger teammates and his entire home planet. At first he fell deep into depression, he beheaded Thanos but that offered little relief so he’s trying to use humor and forced happiness to live on. Not every character needs to be brooding, or unreasonably oppressive to others (like Wanda). Psychologically this is a good take on how many people deal with tragedy.

[@MrDarkwing78]

26:46 Again, there is no “Worthy” spell on Storm breaker, we saw Odin cast the spell on Mjolnir in the first Thor movie. Jane is worthy because Mjolnir allowed her to pick it up, but anyone with enough strength could lift Stormbreaker. I mean, even Thanos took a swing at Thor with it in Endgame, and he definitely wasn’t worthy. I just find it funny how many reactors make she same mistake, that and miscounting the infinity stones at the end of The Dark World.

He may have been genocidal but aside from a few very short moments, the first Guardians never got that serious and maintained a consistent lighthearted tone. This movie flip-flopped around because it was generally one of the silliest MCU movies up to this point but at the same time the villain was portrayed incredibly seriously and they also put in a cancer subplot that is never played for laughs once. It's like they wrote two different versions of the movie, couldn't decide which one to take, and therefore just made both.

GotG also balanced the serious moments and comedic moments perfectly so the dance didn't really feel out of place because it's less about them being silly out of nowhere but more like Peter using his ingenuity to trick Ronan. Nothing in Thor ever felt like that. It's just a barrage of dumb quips which served no purpose in the story. The constant shift between serious and comedy was jarring as fuck. Just because it worked for GotG, doesn't mean it has to be repeated everyfuckinwhere.

[@Xehanort10]

The MCU has never been able to balance seriousness and humour. Pre MCU Marvel films could like the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, some of the Fox X-Men films, the first 2 Blade films had moments of humour in between the action and so on. But the people behind the MCU seem scared that they'll get accused of taking the films too seriously if they don't fill them with unfunny jokes and bad quips and puns. It's worst when they have characters laugh off the injuries and deaths of their friends and family.

[@DarkPaladin24]

I would have like this film a lot more if they toned down on the comedy and made Thor less like a parody. I miss Thor the way he was before Ragnarok, which had a slightly good balance of serious and humor compared to this. I did like Christian's performance as Gorr. In fact... There was a god named Thor Who faced the butcher known as Gorr. The butcher needed an axe to open a door But Thor brought him down to the floor. They eventually made peace at the core. I did my best, but I can't think of more.

And since Korg is played by the director, it's the director just saying to heck with the fanbase, I'll do whatever I want. Ragnarok was good because Taika Waititi didn't write it, just direct it. Now he wrote & directed JoJo Rabbit, which a lot of people liked, but again it had the same faults of this not know if it was serious or a comedy. I'd say if you don't like one or either of those, don't watch his 2023 film that he also writes and directs. It's not unfair to say that some just can't do it all. George Lucas is a good director but without a good editor, his films aren't as great. Frank Miller is a good writer. He should never direct again.

Gorr's such a massively impactful character/villain in the Thor comics and to see an actor of Bale's caliber reduced to comic relief as well as underwritten, is absolutely awful. Jane's cancer and her transformation to the 'Mighty Thor' could've been really amazing and emotional. To tie that off with Thor's own dilemma of existential immortality. I think a lot of us were left gobsmacked how Waititi and especially Feige thought treating the two most emotional arcs of Thor's character in the comics were used in live action.

[@Humstuck]

thank you, agreed 100%. This is sad.

[@mage1439]

Yeah, neither one of their stories were done any justice at all in this movie. Hands up if you thought the end was going to see her magically cured. ✋

[@Windupchronic]

I disagree. I think what works about the film is the idea of a formerly devout mortal turned godkiller, contrasted with a mortal woman of science who takes up arms in defense of gods even though she knows it will kill her to do so. That's a helluva f---ing story. The problem with the movie is that it keeps interrupting that story for a rom-com love triangle: Thor and his two hammers. The thing that doesn't work about the movie is Thor. He's a distraction, the comic relief, actually, from the movie with his name on it. The movie _should_ have been called Love and Thunder, focused on Jane vs Gorr, and only brought in Thor _with_ the Guardians in the second half of the film when Jane realizes she's too new and in over her head.

I think Waititi went a little too far with some stuff. I'd legitimately rate the movie higher if the goats didn't scream every time they appeared on screen. That said, Waititi's brand of absurdist humor is so endearing, he really seems like a lovely man and it comes through in all of his movies, including this one.

[@goyasolidar]

The goats are a reference to Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr, the two goats who pull Thor's chariot in Norse mythology.

[@Ellis_Hugh]

So Valkyrie is bi, Korg is gay, Korg's dads are gay, Heimdall's kid is trans (complete with a lecture on dead-naming), Zues is effete and Miek is a crossdresser. Okay, Disney, we get it. Seriously. We do. Glad to see you managed to keep your streak of male sexploitation unbroken - I'm not sure we've had a single MCU film where the male protagonist didn't manage to spend time with his shirt off, flexed and usually oiled down or dripping wet. Meanwhile, if Tony even head-fakes towards sexualizing a character (Black Widow) who has, by canon, turned seduction into an art form, social media loses its mind. This movie had the potential to be really good, especially with Christian Bale playing Gorr, but Taika Wahtiti was just so dead level set on shoe-horning as many assinine jokes as possible that it just derailed the whole thing... sure, Stormbreaker and Mjolnir are good enough to pretend to be jealous ex-girlfriends, but Thor for some reason has to fight the final battle with Zeus's lightning bolt, which somehow has the power to give everyone... the power of Thor??? He's not even trying to make sense anymore. Lazy, crappy film-making at its worst. Thor deserved better, as did the fanbase.

[@ajclements4627]

Thor gave a fraction of his power to the kids, it wasn’t the thunderbolt.

[@Ellis_Hugh]

@@ajclements4627 I don't think so - since when can Thor make an army of Thors? That would have been an awfully useful ability to have at any time prior to him getting the Thunderbolt, no? Also, All of the powers that the children exhibited were the trademark gold of Zues, NOT the blue lightning we've pretty much always seen from Thor.

[@ajclements4627]

@@Ellis_Hugh Thor was able to give *his* powers to kids because he enchanted their weapons. Due to his bloodline as Odin's son, he is capable of enchantments, although he may not be on Odin's level yet. And by making use of Zeus's Lightning Bolt as a conduit, *he was able to grant powers* to the Asgardian kids. Source - various articles

PS: Oh yeah! Cassie! I recall your statement about being used to so-called "chick flicks" as I relatively recently viewed one of your older videos. Ahem. As you and Callie were watching the sufficient summarization of the love story of Thor & Jane, your reactions would seem to indicate that you felt like you had missed out on something, despite seeing it play out there before your eyes. But in retrospect, I guess that means you two want to see a whole "chick flick" dedicated to it? Is that right? 🤔 Hmm. "THOR & JANE: The Romantic Chick-Flick"! A "Popcorn in Bed Production"!

In Ragnarok, they turned Thor into a comedy which I think worked but in this one it feels like doubling down on the comedy aspect just turned Thor into the punch line of a cheap joke

Yeah in Ragnarok I think it was handled very well and it was a huge success. But in this one it feels like Taika turned it up to 11 and went overboard. I think he'll learn from this and understand that more doesn't necessarily mean better.

I overall enjoyed it, I feel like we didn't see enough of Gorr and some of the humor didn't land. I thought the goats were really annoying on first watch, but they kinda grew on me. It was nice to see The mighty Thor storyline, but we didn't get enough of it on its own, imo.

[@ChrisReise]

Behind the scenes....The shadow monsters were designed by a bunch of kids after Taika Waititi was having trouble coming up with ideas, and his daughter drew a crayon picture of a monster for him...giving him the idea to get a bunch of kids to make drawings. Gor's daughter was played by Chris Hemsworth's daughter. Actor Loki - Matt Damon Actor Thor - Liam Hemsworth Actor Odin - Sam Niell Actor Hela - Melissa McCarthy. LOL

Actor Thor is actually played by Luke Hemsworth. He’s the older brother. Liam is the younger brother. The Wolf Woman was played by Chris Hemsworth’s wife, his son played Kid Thor and his other daughter played an Asgardian kid.

One of the most famous things about Thor and Mjolnir: inscribed on the hammer are the words: "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." From the enchantment we saw Odin put on Mjolnir in the first Thor movie.

[@juvandy]

I loved this. The theming/pacing is a little odd, but that is kind of a hallmark of all of Taika Watiti's movies except for Ragnarok. He blends tragedy and humor together in a way that is not seamless at all. It is confronting and wacky, but I kind of love it. It's kind of like real life where tragedy can happen at any moment.

Okay, Cassie & Callie! 💕 Love is being homeschooled by Uncle Thor! 😊 The Shadow Monsters? They were designed by the children! That helped them know who they were fighting while acting! This movie is an example of the director knowing how it ends, so of course, he can be funny as he was with "JoJo Rabbit". It is up to the audiences to be able to keep up and trust that the director knows what he or she is doing. 🤔 The goats? They are a part of his original lore mythology. It took them long enough to appear! 🐐 (We used to have goats as part of our variety of barnyard animals.) Jane! We see that she actually is a brunette! She had a painless transition to Valhalla in that no corpse was left behind! ✨️. As far as I'm concerned she didn't actually die, in an atheistic sense. I know that some people like to dwell on drama and/or tragedy very slowly. But this movie is a work of Fantasy Genre fiction and we don't have the time to ponder and grieve like we did with 9/11! This movie is a story being told to mostly children! Think about the emotional range expressed in some children's books before the eventul happy ending! 😊 That's the type of flashback movie it is!
