The Worst Thor Movie

  • Thor: Love and Thunder was released on July 8th, 2022. It stars Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale, and Natalie Portman. It is also not very good. Thor has drastically regressed as a character. Gorr is painfully underdeveloped. Stakes are poorly defined. Most of the characters feel underutilized. It feels like a movie content to be the amusement park ride that Martin Scorsese accused Marvel films of being.

But now the mans lost literally everything and it didn't seem like that much time past while he's gone full hipster mode.

    The thing about Thor in the original story was that he himself was the living proof that Gorr was wrong. He answered prayers, he showed great concern about the damage he was causing, all in all, showing his concern for mortals. If this is how they write Thor in the movie, this arrogant, battle-loving oaf, then I'm beyond disappointed. All the character progression he had is gone. To this day, the first Thor movie is my favorite. It wasn't the most action-packed, or most colorful, but it had the best character interactions, drama, the fight scenes it did have were great, and it did have comedy, but only the appropriate amount. If this movie wants to treat everything as a joke, then I think (read: know) that Taika Waititi was one of the worst people to adapt such a great storyline as the God Butcher saga. They had a great opportunity and they squandered it big time.

      I had a different view. The movie (obviously nowhere near the writing level of the comic book) still showed Thor being the only god who acted on behalf of something greater than himself. At the end of the movie, Gorr saw that Thor was not like that god he worshipped at the beginning of the movie and asked him to take care of his daughter, which Thor did, teaching the girl to protect the weak and going out with her through the cosmos protecting everyone

    There was a small bit in Ragnarok where Thor is talking about losing Mjolnir and the rock creature played by Waititi misunderstands what he’s saying and thinks there’s a romantic/sexual relationship between Thor and his hammer. It was brief, funny and they moved on. Waititi was so tickled by this juvenile bit he made it an actual legitimate track in this movie. It’s bizarre that so many prople thought this was a great idea. Fiege is suffering from one hell of a burnout with the utter lack of quality control in these new movies.

    Thor has been the biggest wasted opportunity of the MCU as it has gone on. I especially felt this more after going back and immersing myself in the source material over the years. Your channel played a big part in that so thanks for that.
    Of the films I think the first Thor is the best though obviously there's a better film to be made but just comparing it to the sequels it ends up winning by default. Dark World is dull though I will say at least Thor is consistent there and Loki is entertaining in that. Ragnarok I guess has those moments with him too but there's just too many annoyances that began with that film that make me don't like that film that have continued since then and gotten worse culminating in this film.
    Anyway thanks for all the work you do with this channel. Really helped me in my journey to becoming a fan of comic book Thor.

    5/10.
    "Spider-Man: No Way Home" & "Dr. Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness" are still my top 2 favorite films of Marvel's Phsse #4.
    2011's "Thor" is still remains to be the best film for Thor.
    The comedy was overkill & this felt more like a Guardians Of The Galaxy film rather than a Thor film. Literally, my favorite part of this movie is when Thor & Jane are debating about her cancer because that scene was legitimately serious & pressing.
    I say, they should've taken some inspiration from "Deadpool", a great cancer film & great film in general, which perfectly balances the comedy out from the seriousness of the dark story.
    "Thor: Love & Thunder" just left me...not disappointed but rather unsatisfied, especially with the ending. I could immediately tell that I was not going to be all in for this film just from the trailers alone which is why I wasn't excited.
    If they choose to make a 5th film for Thor, they're going to have to choose a different director or the director is going to have to compromise with having Thor being more vital as is in the comics. I'm a huge Thor fan from both the biblical mythology & the comics & I don't want to see him being a joke anymore.

    Personally, i think Endgame ruined Thor. They couldn't even portray a serious dramatic depression, it was nonstop jokes with him. He should've been the one to snap and bring everyone back. Undoing the snap he failed to stop. I also felt they made him unlearn the valuable lessons from the previous films. For example, in Ragnorak he learned of the importance of Asgard as a people and not just a place. In Endgame, he hides from them and eventually abandoned his own people. Leaving in charge some slaver who never regretted the things she did for the Grand master.
    He only really got out of his depression to be in the final battle. There was no arc. He just regressed to the point where he had to go find himself again, over 20 films in. That's bad writing.
    The Russo's left Thor without any purpose or direction in Endgame. They should have made him an overprotective king, and married to Lady Sif. Then in the 4th film he could have children of his own. Help the nine realms deal with the aftermath of the snap. All while being chased by Gorr.

    Your criticisms are on point. This movie displayed a frustrating refusal to acknowledge the character growth from the original films, as well as what made everyone a fan of the Thor character in the first place through the comics. Non-Thor fans seem to enjoy this movie without realizing that it's at the expense of a movie about genuine Thor. It would be fine if they made their own movie, but using Thor as a vessel for something completely out of character is really a shame.

    This wasn’t the greatest Marvel movie of all time even though it’s said that every Marvel movie is the greatest of all time. If you thought Thor was an idiot in Ragnarok he’s a buffoon in this one. This makes the 4th Thor movie where Thor is finding himself, the concept is completely tiresome!! The Guardians of the Galaxy are only in the movie for 5 mins and it’s obvious James Gunn was not directing them cause their usual chemistry was no where to be found. Even though Thor has been Thor for 1500+ years Jane Foster, who just became Thor minutes ago, out did Thor at everything single thing in his own movie. It seems that Disney’s stock price falling has effected their ability to spend money on quality CGI cause it was terrible in some parts. The only redeeming part was when Christian Bale (the God Butcher) was on screen. It was difficult to believe that anyone was in actual jeopardy because of the massive amount of Taika Watititi humor. Overall I hated it but 80s/90s rock soundtrack kicked ass.

    On a long flight I watched Thor and The Dark World.
    I remember being annoyed at Thor 2 because they neutered Maliketh. MCU could have had a magical version of the Joker of a darker pure evil Loki... but no. They make him some old dude.
    I focused on that for being my reason for disliking the movie while ignoring the good.
    Asguard is beautiful and the mixture of science and magic is everything.
    Strong performances and range from everyone in the film and everyone appears to be trying.
    Thor is still a badass and not a clown.
    Thor 1 was fun and a great start for him.
    Ragnarok... ruined Hulk, planet Hulk, and set the stage for the joke he'd become after the Thanos ultra combo. I mean he beat his ass into intelligence.
    Thor actually does more harm than good. Loki actually makes a better King than Thor and Valkyre. So causing Ragnarok so scary Hela can't take over the 9 realms like Odin did is apparently a bad idea but the Presence of Hela would probably prevent Thanos from doing what he did.
    Either way, living as a tourist trap instead of the advanced civilization they were is where we are now and it's hilarious in the wrong way.
    As for Love and Thunder, both the God Butcher and Jane Foster storylines are changed for no reason other than ego from the director who knows what people want to see, according to him. I've not seen the movie and probably won't watch which makes it the second time of skipped a Bale character in a film. First was that shit show The Dark Knight Rises.

    Glad to have you back!!! also i share the same disappointment about how bad this movie is. As a Thor fan I look up to your journey in this RUclips channel. Taika's take on Thor has ruined the Godlike Thor from comics, a character we can look upto and learn, rather than a wanna be funny man just to attract audiences in the name of fun ride. Thor in the comics is a unique character unlike other superheroes who portrays valour, honour, and many great things which makes me a thor fan. He is liked because of his journey itself which began correctly in Thor 1, but never followed and developed later. Instead turned into goofy thor with muscles. MCU has many other characters where the goofiness and crazyness is rightly justifiable like deadpool and many more. But not a character like thor where the story is full of ugly events and he is making jokes about it. Just because the Two thor movies didnt run profitably, making it funnier is not the solution. I really hope for a better portrayal, someone like Zack snyder can really understand and portray an appropriate, rather Godly, honourable and classic thor from comics. Sadly, Producers and directors never understood this little fact about Thor portrayal.

    Your review was short and sweet - getting to the point of this trash - though I'd say you were way too nice!
    Waititi has said he doesn't care about the character or fans - stay tuned for some crazy quotes from this clown...
    Marvel/Disney are part of the 5 company conglomerate that owns about 90% of the 'mainstream' media. They don't care about good products and are inserting their agenda's on purpose - so it was good to hear people weren't laughing or enjoying it. These 'writes' and such don't know how to write real heroes, and don't care.
    This is an important point because it changes the tone and perspective in these matters. Waititi and the cast seem like they know it's bad and are proud of it, and are happy to be involved with taking down the character, so long as they're paid I suppose.
    "He (Waititi) approached the film from the opposite direction. What would actually make fans angry?"
    And how about this for his attitude “For me, it’s good to give the fans something they don’t know that they want,” Waititi said in a recent interview by video conference from Los Angeles. “With ‘Ragnarok’ especially, when I signed on, a lot of fans were freaked out by that. They were like, ‘Who is this guy? He’s going to take our precious Thor and ruin it.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah. Exactly. That’s exactly my intention. And I’m going to make it better, you just don’t know it yet.’"
    And Hemsworth said this film was something a 7 year old would make (easy to search for references). Perhaps it is spun and presented like having child-like wonderment, but that's not it - it doesn't make sense and there are all kinds of contradictions, and Thor Talk pointed out some great ones.
    I thought the inclusion of the children part was just creepy and came out of nowhere. I was trying to think why this was... Apparently there is a thing in movies and literature, that children usually look up about 2 years in characters. Example, if a character is 12 years old, this will be more aimed at 10 and 11 year old's and some 12.
    While it was good to hear people not having it - they are targeting the next generation. This is insidious!
    Another commenter here said Hemsworth is like MCU's Deadpool - and let's go beyond the surface level goofiness. Reynolds has some creative pull and input with Deadpool. Well, it was Hemsworth's idea to make Thor a fat alcoholic, just to be different and funny. Now Gorr's daughter (again the youth appeal) is his daughter in real life. Scribbling all over Mjolnir, which shouldn't be possible, and then Thor just saying 'how creative'. What a joke!
    Gorr was way underutilized and his finale was nothing like the comics, where Gorr's own child told him he had become what he is supposed to stand against, and went to Thor for help. Your summary of the Gorr saga was great! Glad to have you back making awesome vids :)

      @@himathegreat2987 no more jokes. That's what got us here in the first place. They needed to go darker and more serious. It should have started with Endgame. They should have made him an overprotective king, and married to Lady Sif. Then in the 4th film he could have children of his own. Help the nine realms deal with the aftermath of the snap. All while being chased by Gorr. They needed to show him maturing across the films, and acting as his own man. Not regressing and constantly making jokes. They could have set the tone for phase 4, but instead they doubled down on jokes and the next phase did the same.

    If a broken looking mjolnir will assemble in the time of need, then it would have been awesome if it would have assembled as it flew to Thor in infinity war. I don't like how Thor had earned being worthy by giving his life and yet it only assembles for Jane Foster.
    It's like with iron Man 3, which at least had a good story and they didn't destroy his character,BUT, it was as if the director hadn't watched just how super strong the iron man armors were from previous films.

      @dominiclapinta8537 2 года назад

      @@ThorTalk exactly. And that would have been a great story arch for him. I personally think, that if they had wanted to do a comedic element that might have worked, then when Thor was trying to get his hammer back while Jane had it, then it should have come to him with her attached, whether it drug her by the leg or with her holding onto it. Also, then since mjolnir can just dissamble and reassemble, which is what I reasoned in the first place of why it seemed to be able to be destroyed, why didn't it just reassemble shortly after on Thor Ragnarok? Also, shy didn't Thor just go to Earth and gather the pieces and just recast it at the place where it had been made, but then it would just reassemble, because it sensed the need of the entire universe?
      It's actually a really cool idea if, once mjolnier was made, that it cannot truly be destroyed, and that storm breaker could still be one of Thor's weapons, because of it's more offensive capabilities. See, if they truly wanted to show off the other weaker members of the avengers, then they simply need to just have Thor be distracted in a way that the others could fill in for.
      Thor could have given his hammer to cap for him to help him out while he used storm breaker

Fiege and the MCU has never gotten their head around the idea that the Thor from the comics is about noble character.

    Even though I did have some fun watching the movie I do want him more serious because I did even like dark world. See, I understand why this movie is what it is. The serious Thor movies didn’t do well and when they made Thor more of a comedy in ragnarok it was was received as one of the best in the mcu. So I see why they thought this was the way to go but missed so many opportunities. Could’ve cut thors arm like in the comics, could have killed Valkyrie and made Thor rune king Thor. Hopefully this will let them know to make his battle with Hercules more serious like it was hinted

    In End Game and Infinity War Thor was a tragic character, who was suffering with being a good, but not being able to do anything, and how that caused him to be self destructive. It was a great balance of the absurd and the humanity of failure. But Love and Thunder took that amazing arc and gave us, a Thor that is nothing more than a plot device for the next joke. Taika Waititi is far more interested in telling us his ani-god, anti-faith message than tell us a Thor story. The biggest travesty is wasting an actor like Christian Bale in this way.
