Amazing video. I was a huge fan of Taikas earlier work but there is just too much ego here and disregard for the previous storyline of the MCU. A bit disappointing as it was a big opportunity missed on this film. Keep doing your thing, unfiltered honesty!!!

When my wife and I went to see this movie, a thunder storm knocked out power in the theater with about 45 minutes left to go. At that point, I was already speechless as to what I had witnessed. The theater gave us double free passes and free popcorn vouchers and said we could still stay and watch it from the begining, as the power slowly returned. I don't think anyone did. It was two weeks before my curiosity got the better of me and we returned to see the end. Even with a new attitude towards the film, it still didn't work for me. Truly, a major disappointment! Mostly, I think I was embarrassed for the actors.

How ironic that situation sounds regarding the thunder causing a power failure for the movie you were watching involving Thor 😆

[@SuperHeedictator]

exactly my thoughts. Seeing Thor (Chris Hemsworth's acting) in Infinity War and Avengers, hell even the Ragnarok, was so both uplifting and painfully heartfelt and there was sorrow in him losing mother, father, brother, almost all his people. He was a GOD for crying out loud! He had that might and power, that eternal vibe about him that showed that he is not from Earth and 1000 years old being. But with this garbage (as well as Endgame)..they completely ruined him and made a freaking comedic relieve (what the heck was that even in What If). argh. It's just so disappointing what they have done with the character that I've loved for a decade. I don't even want to watch the rest of the phase 4.

[@Trollificusv2]

@@SuperHeedictator To be fair, Hemsworth is a really good comedic actor, it's just that he's trapped in an action hero/Comic book God body.

[@Alteori]

Oh my god, I love your review 😂 One of the things that pissed me off though about the movie is the fact that Thor has now become like the laughing stock. The women always treat him like he's an annoying little brother who's stupider than they are. The thing is.... It's HIS movie. It's very annoying when I like a character and then in their own movie, they're emasculated or treaded upon very disrespectfully. It would have been the same thing if it were a female character like Wonder woman, and then other female characters or male characters came in and all of a sudden Wonder woman is acting like a freaking idiot. I don't understand why they feel the need to do that; they feel the need to nerf a male's character to make the female characters feel more strong. It doesn't make them look more strong. It actually makes it look as though the only way that women can be perceived as strong is if everybody else around them is really stupid, which honestly is a really huge insult to us females.

Something that really gets me is why Mjolnir is back. In the comics it makes sense, since it wasn’t destroyed. It doesn’t work here for many reasons. For one, Thor already learned he didn’t need it. He thought his strength came from Mjolnir and without it he wasn’t a proper warrior. Ragnarok taught him he was strong enough on his own. Endgame taught him he was still worthy of the Hammer, even though he thought he failed and was at his lowest point. So why is it suddenly he’s acting like he wants the hammer back so badly when he already moved on? Why is he “checking” to see if he can lift it when he knows he can? It’s just complete nonsense.

[@Ricardo-ur5os]

That the inheriting Thor was stupid even back when they did it in the comics. The hammer didn't make him thor, he is thor.

[@hothotheat3000]

The biggest problem I had was that the characters weren’t taking the threat seriously. If they are cracking jokes after children are literally ripped from their beds in the middle of the night, how am I supposed to buy that Gorr is a legitimate threat? Even more laughable is Thor getting angry that Zeus isn’t taking him seriously when THOR ISNT TAKING HIM SERIOUSLY. Compare that to Top Gun Maverick, which makes a big deal of showing you just how difficult the mission is going to be so that you take it seriously. Top Gun Maverick is a goddamn masterclass of filmmaking compared to shit like this. How dare they waste Christian Bale’s time like this.

[@KabbalahSherry]

Yeah I feel BAD for Bale. 😩💔 What a mess. I think we all know he deserved better. WTF were they thinking?? I guess he wanted to do more... but the studio either said no from the get-go, or cut some stuff out cuz it was "too dark". I guess there was a part where he screamed out in pain - probably when his daughter died - but they wouldn't allow that version. This is a KIDS MOVIE apparently guys. 🤮🤦🏻‍♀️

It really feels like Hemsworth called up the director and said hey should we get to work on this movie. The director was like nah we'll do it in a long weekend, and let the graphics people do the rest.

[@Captainbadger123]

The saddest part of it is that the very few scenes they took seriously were actually really good, and most scenes could have been like that but they choose to ruin it trying to be funny instead. Jane’s death scene was a very emotional and well written scene, so was the scene where they got back together. The opening scene was pretty good too when they decided to take it seriously. And both post credit scenes were really good too. But other scenes they decided to try to make it funny when it has the potential to be good. Like when Thor’s enchanting the weapons instead of making it a serious moment where it could show Thor being a leader and inspiring some scared kids and showing how powerful he’s truly become by enchanting the weapons they decided to make a joke out of him stumbling over his words and not sounding like he knows what he’s doing and having a kid decide to use a stuffed animal to fight off some shadow monsters. And the biggest issue is most of their jokes are just terrible and overused. Repeating the same jokes over and over again is not funny (specifically Stormbreaker being jealous and those stupid freaking goats constantly screaming)

[@testfire3000]

Screaming goats meet The Rule of Three. Any repeating joke is funniest when it is only repeated no more than three times. This has been an known writing principle since the days of ancient Greece.

[@ELeeHamm]

@@testfire3000 My roommate kept laughing like a complete dumbass whenever the goats screamed, and I genuinely don’t know why. He was so damn pleased the whole time he had me watch this at home, and I just kept leaving the room. Honestly, this trash was my MCU breaking point. I’ve heard so many good things about Wakanda Forever, and I can’t even bring myself to sit down and watch it.

@@nexusshark He actually regressed, when you look at Endgame. Sure, at the beginning of Endgame, Thor is a mess. But then he goes to Asgard, faces his failures (having lost Asgard, his mother dying, etc) and actually evolves quite a bit after that moment with his mother. We only see bits of it because the plot had to keep going and there was the fight and all, but when it came to fighting Thanos and all, Thor was again "his old self", like, focused and determined and part of the team. Sure, at the end he had some silly jokes with the Guardians, but he also was level-headed enough to give leadership of "New Asgard" to someone else, someone he felt was more capable than him. So it proved some maturity and evolution. And then that movie comes out and he's a weird hobo cracking jokes and thinking only about himself now??

my thoughts. The whole debacle with Jane was just unnecessary in my opinion. They just brought her in, gave her powers that let's be real, the hell she was even given for, she kicked ass, saved Thor's ass (yep, him being 1000 year warrior with mad battle experience, pff what are you talking about, here's Jane that can do better without even trying) and then kicked the bucket.

100% agreement. I hope Kevin Feige reads this and accepts that we are not haters. I liked almost every Infinity Saga film with a handful of exceptions. I have no problem saying that Endgame is a masterpiece. But the quality of phase 4 is....just...bad. It's like comparing the 1st 4 seasons of Game of Thrones with the final season where the characters could no longer even speak articulate dialogue anymore.

You were spot on about the best version of Thor being the one in Infinity War. His arrival at Wakanda is my favorite scene as well - not only is it totally badass, it felt earnt, given all the shit Thor had gone through up to that point (i.e. actual character development). Thor in the sequel felt like they took a giant dump over this for cheap laughs. This was not only continued in Love & Thunder, but they actually dialed it up even further...the characters was a joke, the lore was a joke, everything's a joke now. It honestly felt like watching one of those washed out sitcoms that used to be good at one stage, but has now run it course. Where each scene is just a vehicle to cram in as many jokes as they can, but hardly any of the jokes land, and the whole thing ends up being neither funny nor entertaining. The only thing missing was a laugh track.

[@kaleandseeweed]

I was so confused on why Gorr would just immediately kidnap a bunch of children from their beds at night AFTER he just lost his daughter who was the same age as those kids. He more than anyone should know how it feels to lose your child and he took the children from all the parents in New Asgard. It just seemed so forced to me and just an excuse for the writers to convince us that Gorr is the bad guy when he actually does have a point and a reason to hate the gods. Also, if Gorr feels that all gods are selfish and narcissistic, then why would he kidnap children as bait thinking that Thor would care? If he *really* thought gods were nothing but selfish, why would he think that they would risk their lives to save some random kids?

[@todays_date1]

Maybe Gorr wanted others to feel his pain? Sometimes villains make sure that nobody else feel the same pain and sometimes they do because of anger and sadness idk 🤷‍♂️

[@zacharybosley1935]

Gorr believed all gods are selfish, hypocritical creatures who put their own image above the needs of the people beneath them. Kidnapping Children is a Typical Villain Thing, that would be stopped by a Typical Hero, something Gorr believes Thor Believes himself to be. if Odinson doesn't rescue the children, he proves Gorr correct, as he betrays his self image to save his skin. If Odinson does rescue the children, then he proves Gorr wrong, but still manages to provide Stormbringer to him.

I see a trend with directors like Taika and Rian Johnson where they're incapable of directing/writing a scene that's emotionally charged and just letting it sit with the audience. They feel a need to "subvert expectations" with a "gotcha" moment that undermines the emotional gravity of a situation.

[@wormie077]

[@J-Hue]

Same with the guy who directs GotG. If the only way you can find to get a payoff out of a scene is to cap it off with a laugh, all you're saying as a director is that you don't know how to craft scenes. Killing the drama/suspense of a scene with a joke is fine, if done sparingly. And can even be great when done right. But if it's done in damn near every scene, it becomes a problem. Why should the audience care about any of the stakes presented in the movie when the filmmakers don't.

[@DPham1]

@@J-Hue I would say that James Gunn, despite his often juvenile humor, is actually more of mature director than Taika and Rian because he's actually able to let emotionally charged scenes sit and settle. Like in GoTG 2 when *SPOILER* Yondu dies and Peter is desperately trying to save him...that scene hit hard. Because Gunn let it breath without (if I remember correctly) undermining it with a cheap joke. And Yondu's death was then mourned and his life celebrated by all the other characters in the film in a show of respect.

Some things about Gorr and the powers 1 Gorr was indeed worthy in comics and was able lift Thor's hammer. 2. Gorr took the necrosword from Knull while Knull was fighting a gold celestial or god 3. The only character who was able to break the necrosword is actually God of Light Venom, he broke the sword and knulls armor with light power and Thor's hammer with silver surfers board metal 3. Gorr maybe a god killer but he isn't someone who gets pleasure by scaring someone, he's a villain who is filled with rage and hatred just like kratos. 4. Gorr actually fought three variants of Thor and three of them looses to him.

Top 5 things that would've put this movie over the top for me: 1. The initial battle between Thor and company against Gorr should've involved Thor's arm getting chopped off. This would've not only demonstrated the massive threat that Gorr is, but would've given Thor an opportunity to obtain the Destroyer arm like he did in the comics. Instead it's Valkyrie who got injured, but she was only dealt a recoverable wound. 2. After visiting Omnipotence, Thor should've realized that many if not all of the gods are "unworthy." In fact, a major theme of the whole movie (which exists in the source material) is the "worthiness" of the gods. This would've also added to the explanation of why Jane is able to wield Mjolnir - because she became "worthy" out of her great need to fight her cancer (among other reasons). Instead we got a "it just happened" explanation. 3. Building off (2), in the final battle with Gorr, Thor could've confessed his own past unworthiness as the God of Thunder, and could've gained respect from Gorr by telling him that Zeus and mostly all the other gods at Omnipotence were also unworthy. This would've made Thor's appeal to "choose love" much more powerful. Gorr could've then used his wish to bring his daughter back and then ride off into the sunset with her. 4. Building off (3), after Gorr made his wish, the Necrosword could've departed from his hand (sensing that he was no longer "worthy" to wield its power). Rationale: with a lost Necrosword floating around the MCU, this would easily set up Thor 5... which at this point needs to be the Rune King Thor storyline for the character to regain credibility (short version: Thor goes on a quest to gain the same power Odin had). Instead we got Jane sacrificing herself to destroy the Necrosword, which should've also ended Mjolnir's run as well. 5. The whole Eternity thing should've looped in Kang the Conqueror somehow in order to tie-in Loki. In fact, Eternity even looks like a facade of Kang, because the whole "grant a wish" mechanism sounds suspiciously like the same "I'll restore/change any timeline you want" deal that was offered to the two Loki's. If only for a moment Thor saw Loki in the Eternity space, this could even motivate him to seek out magical runes to rescue him.

@@morgancasey Was it really?!!! I can’t believe I forgot about that! I would think it’d stand out to me. I guess the rest of the movie was so bad, even something as stupid as that got lost.

@@TheMovieCynic yeah Taika really needs someone that will tell him when to Stop haha

@@TheMovieCynic Yup, that's how he got down off that mountain where he was sitting under the big tree. It was stupid just like the rest of the entire movie.

These are the two things that i got from this movie: 1) i feel like they were trying too hard to make this a comedy movie instead of just making it what its supposed to be- a great and epic marvel movie. Throughout the film they kept throwing in these extreme cringe jokes that had no need to be added. 2) speaking of cringe, that scene where thor gave the little kids god like powers was the nail in the coffin for me. I could barley glance at the screen after that. This was absolutely horrible. And i feel bad cause chris hemsworth is a great actor but sheesh they really blew this one.

Remember when Jane has cancer and is going through chemo, but still has a head full of hair because reasons? I kept expecting her to reveal she was wearing a wig the whole time and in the 3rd act embraced her condition and we were going to see a bald Jane fighting side by side with Thor. But apparently Natalie Portperson has to keep those flowing locks because shampoo deals yo

I couldn’t even watch Thor desperately trying to convince Stormbreaker not to be jealous of Mjolnir.

That power up girl with the stuff toys should be funny but all i have is cringe

And Thor couldn’t even be the hero at the end of the movie. Female Thor beat the villain and sacrificed her self for him.

Thank you very much for this video. You said what is on everyone’s mind. And if people like this movie they like the cheapest and lowest hanging fruit of making a movie

Correction, Special effects are the practical effects, and the visual effects are what you might know as CGI. So, special effects (FX) are all the on set practical effects, and the visual effects (VFX) are all the cgi done at the most hardest and annoying and critiqued part at post production
