Thor: Love and Thunder Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Thor: Love and Thunder!
Subscribe to the NEW CHANNEL for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
Thor: Ragnarok in 2017 completely reinvented the God of Thunder, who, after Thor: The Dark World- many thought had become a pretty boring character. Since Ragnarok was such a hit, it seems like Taiki Waititi was given free reign to do whatever he wanted for the sequel 5 years later.
Thor: Love and Thunder raises a lot of questions though. Like did Thor Odinson get dumber? How many times are these goats going to scream? Can we see Gorr the God Butcher butcher some gods sometime? Was that Guardians of the Galaxy tease in Endgame really just for the intro of this movie? If Gorr thought all gods only cared about themselves, why did he assume they would rescue children?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Thor: Love and Thunder! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

The point about Gorr kidnapping the kids to get the gods to come despite believing gods don't care about anyone else is a really solid one.

[@matityaloran9157]

I think that was the point in the actual movie. That Gorr is wrong (at least at some level) about the gods and deep down in his heart of hearts he knows that

[@NeoDeXeno]

That awkward face Ryan was making in response was a really good acting moment and it was hilarious.

[@perom551]

I disagree actually. The point Gorr makes is that gods don't care about mortals (which is further established by Zeus' unwillingness to help Thor) but it's only reasonable that gods would seek to save their own children - in fact, I bet Zeus would try to save his children if they were in danger, even if he was only motivated by his narcissistic desire to be worshiped. Thing is, Gorr's point is that gods only care when they're the ones at risk of losing everything.

@@UPedits... I disagree. It’s like how Thanos presented himself as a noble crusader seeking to save the Universe from itself rather than the sadistic madman that everyone thought he was but in Endgame when he decided to destroy the entire Universe and admitted he would enjoy himself as he did so it would become clear to us in the audience that beneath his glamour he was the same thug that The Heroes all viewed him as being. So too with Gorr, his grief and vengeance led him to becoming a deicidal maniac but he knows that that the gods he battles care more than he’d like to admit he’s just in denial about it

One thing that really bugged me as well was the fact you needed the bifrost to access eternity. Like Eternity is a separate entity outside of Gods, like equal to that of the Watcher. but yet requires the power of a Norse God to access? it just makes Stormbreaker into a McGuffin of the entire movie

Absolutely wasted and ruined the amazing and infinitely interesting ICONIC concept/character of Eternity, to shoehorn Hemsworth's daughter in as an OC.

A powerful hero who overcomes adversity and continues to do what is right depite everything that he has lost. Not a bumbling cartoon meathead. You can have humor with Thor but not at the expense of the character himself. Too much humor and it becomes a parady, not a performance.

[@CM-pf1xc]

I liked his struggle in endgame. And the continuation of all that in Thor 4! now it’s the aftermath and picking up of all that. Character DOES change, he’s having to pick apart and rebuild himself after everything, in this way, the crazy and inconsistent character makes more sense. AND the ending he Does relearn to do what’s right no matter what-with the adoption-learning to love after loss, to preserve, to show up, to stick with ppl. I think that’s pretty darn good characterization! I just think there weee some failures with execution (too many scenes with thor acting silly)

[@46sn29]

@@CM-pf1xc I agree that characters beliefs and personalities can change. However characters don't normally become dumber. They made Thor way too dumb in this one. I'm not saying he needs to be Banner level smart. But he certainly shouldn't be Drax level stupid either. I don't know why they cranked the humor to 11. Ragnarok was more balanced with the humor and drama. This one was just too much of a comedy and many of the jokes didn't really land. I'm happy you liked the film. I didn't hate it.

Haven't seen the movie yet, so I'm just speculating but---I think that's possible to justify without stretching into questionable logic.

My favorite part was when Gorr was completely right.

Thor himself even fakeout-killed the King of the Gods for being indifferent to suffering - THE EXACT SAME THING GORR WAS DOING - and got a hero moment for it. But instead of having that conversation or elaborating on why the gods deserved to be saved, they had Gorr kidnap some kids so that he remained the bad guy and Thor could save someone. Fun!

Pulling special powers out of your backside at the 9th hour to save the day is a quick way to make people check out. And the first question people ask is "Why didn't you do that earlier?" A good writer would have provided a way for the children to gain his abilities, which explained where this new ability came from, and why it wasn't getting used again. Why not have the chunks of Mjolnir be the empowering factor. Each kid gets a chunk of the hammer allowing the kids to have the power of Thor to lesser degrees. Have Mjolnir repair itself afterwards to explain why he doesn't do it again. Now that it's whole once more it can't spread to multiple, and have the "worthy" requirement kick in once more. Why didn't you use it before? Because before it was broken you had to be worthy. Why don't you use it after now? Because it's back to one piece and you have the worthy requirement again.

As someone who has always felt that _Thor: Ragnarok_ was a bit too jokey, I am not surprised in the even more excessive direction this movie took. That said, to be fair to Mr. Waititi, I also feel like the (overly) comedic tone of _Thor: Ragnarok_ got royally screwed over by coming *right* before the relative utter dourness of _Infinity War_ especially with that stinger at the end that completely fucks over everyone in that movie. Thor never gets on-screen time to process the grief of losing his father for good, intentionally blowing up his homeland where he's lived for literal centuries for good, *or* the death of three--four?--of his closest friends before his brother, his best friend, *and* half of the people he *just* "saved" also get slaughtered anyway by time the next movie starts. It feels like we've never gotten to see any serious side to Thor for a sustained period of time since the not-great _Age of Ultron_ outside of the relatively brief wallowing in depression he did in _Endgame_ (which was largely *still* treated as an extended [fat] joke) before going back in time. It's just made his character super jarring and same-y compared to what he used to be. Oh well. This is part of why I decided to be done with the MCU after _Endgame_ since that "wrapped things" up anyway.
