Don’t know if you know addie but Gor’s daughter , the actress is Chris hemsworth Daughter. And the wolf lady Thor was with is his actual wife!
IIRC A lot of the children were the actors and other production peoples' kids?
His brother Luke Hemsworth plays Thor in the performance in New Asgard, opposite Matt Damon
And his son was young Thor.
@@JustLiesNOR Yes. Taika Waititi, Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth , and Christian Bale, all of their kids were in the movie in some capacity or another.
His son is the wolf kid in the cage as well and of course his brother portraits his in the play
Fun detail, when Jane asks how long it has been, they both have two different answers. Jane says 3 years, while Thor says 8. This just reinforces that Jane got snapped in Infinity War, and missed those five years.
But she would have at least had the awareness of the missing years since coming back just like everyone else that got snapped. Spider-Man and the other high school kids that got snapped came to terms with the lost time so surely Jane should be aware of it.
@@jessecortez9449 I still think it would be easy to forget.
The others didnt have the concept of lost time
@@jessecortez9449 Just because she is aware of the lost time doesn't mean it counts in her personal timeline. The kids who "came to terms with the lost time" are not automatically considered 5 years older.
The 8 years is a reference to Thor: The Dark World's release date to this movie.
I personally see this movie as a movie about grief
Thor is in the denial stage, refusing to allow himself to feel the pain of loss, so he's overcompensating by being goofier than ever
Jane is in the bargaining stage, trying to use Mjolnir to prevent her death
Valkyrie is also bargaining, but this time it's about the death of her culture and everything she knew. She's trying to keep Asgardian culture alive in whatever manner she can, even though it turns New Asgard into a tourist trap. Their last working ship is a theme park ride, their grand plays are kids entertainment and even Mjolnir is in a display case to be gawked at.
Gorr is obviously in the anger stage.
This is a good point! I definitely felt like the humor was being used by multiple people to ignore and deflect the grief.
meaning you are reading too much into something thats not actually not in it
@@WitchMaster-vi4kp it's actually it tho. even taika said that this film is about grief and loss.
agree. even taika said this film is about grief and loss, and russo brothers' said that thor is using humor to numb the pain.
I like the suggestion that the silliness of this was because Korg was telling the story, so it is from his point of view.
I enjoyed this one MUCH more the second time through, knowing what to expect.
I personally view it as Thor going through denial with his grief, and overcompensating by being goofier and sillier
Its a character in a movie.
@nutz0148 Yep. And.....? (I think the rest of your comment got cut off. Sometimes RUclips does that)
Well Korg is played by Taika Waititi whom makes things too silly if he isn't reigned in by higher ups.
@jessecortez9449 yeah, this one leaned a tad too far into comedy, even compared to the previous Thor film, but on my second viewing i didn't mind it as much.
I am still needing to do a rewatch of the latest Ant-Man in hopes of a similar, better appreciation as, for example, MODOK (by design) was a bit over the top and distracting to the stakes of the story.
Fun Fact: The screaming goats are based of the two Goats named “Tanngrisnir” and “Tanngnjóstr”. The Goats who puled the chariot of Thor in Norse mythology.
Gnasher and Grinder!
@@existenceisrelative that’s the comic’s version
@@TheIcemanthomas It's their names: Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder.
I don't think I've ever heard "mother of pearl" shouted in such earnest before, thank you for that
She also said "Mother of pearl, those are snakes!" in her reaction to Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), due to her ophidiophobia (fear of snakes).
I feel like Stormbreaker behaves the way it does because the handle is made of teenage Groot wood and teenagers are teenagers.
What if teenagers are just big kids?
@@PROVOCATEURSK what if adults are just big kids
@@shorgoth What if corpses are just big, stinky kids?
What if skeletons are just dusty, brittle kids?
@@daddynitro199 What if dust is... well... dust!
This film spent a lot of time clearly saying how hard it is to get into Valhalla, so that end credit scene is pretty cool because it basically says that the battle against cancer can make a person worthy.
Put me in the camp of people who really enjoyed this film in the theater for its emotional arcs and payoffs. I thought that Thor's characterization was perfectly in tune with how he'd been portrayed up to this point, and Jane's story is tops all around. Gorr is a great villain, if underutilized -- I heard rumors that some of Christian Bale's scenes were so intense they had to be cut to keep the PG-13 rating. I'm also not one of those people who obsesses over the CG as long as it's not intrusively bad.
My biggest problem was and remains the pacing. The script was heavily cut down, in part because of rewrites that put too heavy a burden on the VFX team, so they had to pick and choose what to keep, and it shows. There just isn't room for everything to breathe and it feels like some important transitional scenes were skipped.
It's interesting to note how many of the Phase 4/5 properties have had to do with family and end up in some sort of surrogate parenthood: Hawkeye, Thor, Dr. Strange, [spoilers]. It seems that being a dad is the MCU's highest calling.
Christian Bale was so good in this. Would have been nice to see more of him in it.
He really wasn't that good
His accent keeps changing from generic middle eastern at the beginning to American midway to British by the end lol
@@djohnson6585I didn't hear that. Even after your comment I don't.
And if you say he wasn't good because of inconsistent accent, for a character not from earth, you have no idea what you're talking about when it's about acting and performances.
@@RoxxSerm I guess the D stands for D-Bag :/
I would have loved to see a whole movie based on his character. I imagine it being very cool and spoopy.
@@RoxxSerm lol why would an alien constantly change their accent? Wtf are you on about?! 😂😂😂
Thor has been one of my favorite characters since 1986. I enjoyed Thor: Love and Thunder. I loved the '80s influence in this movie. This movie gave me Conan the Barbarian(1982), Flash Gordon(1980), The Beastmaster(1982), Krull(1983), The NeverEnding Story(1984), Heavy Metal(1981), Red Sonja(1985), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985 ), Legend(1985), Masters of the Universe(1987), The Princess Bride (1987) and Willow(1988) vibes. Also, loved the nod to Jean-Claude Van Damme's mid-air split in this movie.
That Addie smile always makes these videos an instant click.
Fun fact Addie, the shadow creatures were actually designed by the children of the cast/production. They would make a sketch of them and the VFX teams would do the rest
I've only been to movie theaters twice since the pandemic, and one of them was for this movie. I loved it, and the battle scene with the kids is one of the best things I've ever seen.
You took kids to see this?
@@McMahonHater no. "The battle scene with the kids", in other words the scene where Thor gave the kids power in the movie, and kids in the movie battle the shadow monsters. I don't have kids.
@@DC_Prox Oh, okay.
I love the way that all three of the weapons had a kind of agency to them. Apart from Stormbreaker acting jealous, the way Mjolnir was hovering next to Jane in the hospital felt a lot like "I want you to help him, but I know what it's going to do you, it's up to you." And when Thor snatched Thunderbolt out of the air, I pictured it telling Zeus "You've been doing party tricks with me for three thousand years, so I'm going off with the guy who wants to use me as a weapon, bye sucker!"
I have a feeling that whether you like the screamy goats corresponds a lot with whether you're a pet owner.
Thor powering up the kids was great. He could probably have taken out all the monsters by himself, but not quickly enough to stop any of them going round him and killing some of the kids - so he made the kids like him, in a move Gorr would never have predicted in a million years.
Re Guardians of the Galaxy 3: brace yourself, there will be some heavy scenes of animal cruelty.
Fun fact the filming location for New Asgard is a small village called St Abbs in Scotland, St Abbs now sports real road signs that states the village is ‘twinned’ (a sister city) with New Asgard
There was an expectation that this film would be more violent and gory with Gorr in it; some wanted it to be a direct adaptation of a comic run that featured Gorr. But that run wasn't called "Love and Thunder," and the advertising and interviews leading up to its release said it was a romantic comedy. It did a good job of being the film it was intended to be by its creators
And from here, the Guardians proceed onwards to the Holiday Special that you saw already. Then to Guardians 3 (still currently in theaters I believe).
I actually really liked this movie, love the funnies in Thor. Christian bale played an amazing part
I love this movie so much. Don’t understand all the hate towards it. Definitely the best of the 4 Thor movies and it’s also my personal favorite of the 4 Thor movies and I personally like it more than most MCU movies
Thor Love and Thunder happens between Avengers Endgame and Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special. You can see that in this movie, Groot it's still a teenager, but in the special he already is a young adult. This movie also explains why Thor was no longer with the Guardians in the Holiday Special because he had to deal with Gorr the God Butcher in order to save the Gods from destruction.
I liked this movie as well. I'm not sure why it gets so much shade.
In the Thor Marvel comic books the goats are called Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher which are the English translations of their names in Norse mythology. Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr. 😅
Fun fact Love is played by India Rose Hemsworth. India Rose Hemsworth is the daughter of Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky, the sister of Tristan Hemsworth and Sasha Hemsworth, and the niece of Luke Hemsworth.
Bao the God of Dumplings is from a Disney/PIXAR short "Bao" - it's ADORABLE...
People miss this concept from the movie. From start to end it was a story told by Korg! So yes it's going to be a little bit goofy! Otherwise, it was a good movie. Also, the Director took out a lot of scenes that would've made it better. When asked he said that he would not do a director's cut.
I also am in the minority of people who love this film ⚡️⚡️I had a blast from start to finish! 🔨
Same. My favorite thor movie
Honestly, it feels less like we're a true minority (there are a lot of us that love this movie) and we're more of a vocal minority, only in that we're shouted over. Jaded haters are always so loud and they dominate the conversation about movies and franchises. And that becomes all everyone else hears about a movie. Meanwhile, this movie is such a great artistic creation.
Each MCU movie has it's own little "feel". You have to take this film as someone listening to a storyteller telling a tale around a camp fire... See it this way, and then the movie becomes charming... :)
Totally agree with you. This was a fun movie. People need to relax and enjoy themselves. Glad you were able to enjoy it for what it was. Another great reaction. Thanks.
Headcanon: The enchantment on those improvised weapons is still there. In years to come, the little girl with the stuffed rabbit will become a young woman, and give the rabbit to a charity shop, hoping it will give some other kid the same comfort it gave her during her ordeal. And because of what it is now, it will fall into the hands of a succession of endangered children - children who want to go home, or want their home to be safe - children who will (for a limited time only) possess the power of Thor.
12:42 is one of the most satisfying sound effects EVER.
It was a little too silly, but it was still a lot of fun! Jane is great in this!
sidenote; jane didnt go to valhalla because she died in the battle against the god butcher, she got to valhalla because she lost the fight against cancer.
In Norse myth, Thor's chariot was pulled by two large goats named Tanngrisnir (tooth-gnasher) and Tanngnjostr (tooth-grinder) :P
I absolutely love this movie, since I saw it when it first came out. And each re-watch has been just as enjoyable, if not more. So, it's definitely not due to low expectations. Some people just didn't jive with the style and pacing of this, but some of us very much did. I've never had a problem riding ups and downs of ridiculousness and tragedy, from one moment to the next. Natalie Portman is so great in this, as is Christian Bale, and everyone in it, honestly. I figured you would enjoy this! It's so good, both the drama, the comedy, and the tragedy of it all - ending in the warmth, that you mentioned.
That’s Roy Kent at the end. As Hercules. He’s here, he’s there, he’s every fucking where
Who puts the glad in Gladiator?
Saw this in theaters and loved it, it feels like the first time all over again, every time lol.
Heyyy, it's Billy and I think that each of the major characters in Marvel have had their winners and losers, with the exception of Captain America. It's not the end of the world if there's a bad movie. Those who have said there's only been bad movies since Endgame have just been spoiled by the great movies up til then.
The Marvel train is still rolling. Enjoy the ride.
Take care of yourself, Addie!! Hello to Ollie!!
I always thought the movie was highly hilarious and over the top, because it was narrated by Korg. Knowing him things might be exaggerated or straight-way misinterpreted, which would lead to the (for some people) unwelcomed style of storytelling.
So everything we see is actually how Korg was remembering it or actually how he would picture and tell the story afterwards to kids.
When Gorr Said "Call The Axe" Thor Said "I'll Call The Axe When You Call The Dentist" Is A Referance To The Dirty Teeth Gorr Has😂🤣😆
"Goats are coming in hot!!"
Me: "...actually they're coming in screaming.."
Mjolnir never displayed such emotions such as jealousy but Stormbreaker does as its handle was made out of Groot's arm and Groot has emotions.
I believe Jane's final catchphrase that she whispered to Thor at the end was "For Love and Thunder", hence the title and also the new names for Thor and his daughter
A big thing a lot of people didn't get was that this movie is told through Korg, which explains some of the goofy-ness. I'll still say it's in no means a masterpiece but it's a good, fun movie
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and if you keep in mind that the movie is told through Korg's perspective, it explains all the silliness.
When Thor has his last movie, I really want to see the other fallen Avengers meet him in Valhalla.
I really appreciate your videos Addie. Always so positive and makes my day just a bit better :)
I love the goats, every-time they give a nod to the myths is good.
Watching the film with you, it reminds me of a lot of the good stuff in this movie that I didn't really appreciate before. Jane's story was emotional and I did end up feeling for Thor by the end of it. And Thor getting a daughter is a wonderful development, I look forward to seeing that in the future. It's still one of my least favourite MCU films, but I like it more than I did before.
Well, she did cut out 90% of the screaming goats.... lol
@@testfire3000 Oh yeah, can't forget the bad parts. So many bad parts... but I was kind of blinded before. I remember even thinking the Jane stuff wasn't that good, but I think I was wrong on that bit.
@@Seraserastria True! And one of the reasons this movie gets so much hate is because Natalie Portman gets Thor power, which I don't understand why that is an issue. I thought she played both parts of Jane, both as The Mighty Thor and as the dying cancer patient very well.
I never understand when people hate this movie cause Thor is so goofy
To me..he is goofing around to not think of his pain.
40:13 Arrgghh, you got me! 😂 I did such a double take when I heard those words come out of your mouth!
"They say less is more, and they're not wrong. But sometimes, in the proper combination, too much is just right."
-me, halfway through this film.
😂😂😂
It's an acquired taste. I was thoroughly entertained. It's told by Korg, so it follows his chaotic storytelling style.
This movie... wasn't as bad as some people seem to imply. It isn't one of my favourites but I kind of like it.
Thor asked Mjolner to watch over Jane. He didn't say she was worthy, the hammer decided that on its own, but yeah he set the stage for her.
On one hand it is sad to see the "heroes" of the MCU step down or pass on... but the reality is the action in these movies isn't easy and real people age. The multiverse is the ultimate "reboot" or return for any character... but that won't make the actors younger. I hope to see many more heroes rise, even if I'm sad when the fade away.
It really is as bad as most make out. Horrific in fact. It's so bad I could and have written a dissertation on why it's so bad. A Vanity project to massage Taika Watitis ridiculous ego.
I LOVE LOVE AND THUNDER!!!! One of my favorite superhero movies, and just movies in general!!! Obviously comic nerds will never be satisfied, but as a normie who grew up romcoms and this 80s stuff like Taika did, I thought this was SO GOOD!!! And let's be honest, some people lack the self-confidence to enjoy Chris Hemsworth's Himbo Thor as much as he does. Maybe some people don't like the kids? I thought they were awesome. Love this movie!
YES! Same here. It is one of my absolute favourites!
I saw this with my daughter and we loved it.
Thank you for the commentary, Addie.
Can't wait for Loki to find out he's an uncle now.
Fun Fact: Thor Love & Thunder is the first Thor movie without the appearance of Loki.
Excellent reaction, Addie. I'm so glad that you had fun watching Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), in spite of its chilly reception. Originally, I thought the moment Zeus flicked too hard was gonna give me a huge laugh attack, but it was those scenes with the goats. My girlfriend and I enjoyed seeing this movie in theaters, last summer, despite not being in IMAX.
Speaking of Russell Crowe, I also suggest A Beautiful Mind (2001) and Cinderella Man (2005), both directed by Ron Howard.
And speaking of Nigel Phelps, production designer of this movie, I also suggest Pearl Harbor (2001) with Ben Affleck, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Michael Bay.
Another Chris Hensworth movie that I would suggest to you is 12 Strong (2018), also produced by Bruckheimer.
Traditionally Thorr rode a chariot pulled by goats. They were doubly useful. After a day of travel, he could slaughter and eat them, then bring them back to life in the morning to pull his chariot.
Fun Fact: Gorr’s sword was made by the god of symbiotes (like Venom). It slowly corrupts its user. That’s why he gets sharp teeth and drools black slime, he’s literally devolving into a symbiote!
don't think that's the case in the MCU though
@@craigime A man can hope. When the eventually bring Knull into film, hopefully the mention it offhandedly
I love that running gag with the Goats...
I liked this movie
This is goofy yes, but also very fun. I love the goats personally.
Incase it wasn't obvious, the reason Jane ended up in Valhalla is because she died during battle. The battle of cancer.
I completely agree I love this movie so did my wife. I found it refreshing after the horror flick of Doctor strange and the multiverse of madness.
Can't wait for you to watch the masterpiece guardians of the galaxy 3
I agree, it's a fun movie. Not every MCU movie has to be so serious.
Im glad you enjoyed this film like I did
Apart from the tonal inconsistencies, there are two things that I wish this movie did.
1. Properly explain that Jane's cancer was a result of having an infinity stone inside her in Thor 2.
2. See more of the consequences of Gorr's actions. Apart from the opening and the distress calls from the Guardian's ship, we don't ever see any other gods being attacked, or Gorr's adventure in getting to Earth. The Necro Sword gave him flashes of visions, but the fact he knew to go exactly to Earth was weird. I would have liked an insert where he learns that Asgard was destroyed, and they now live on Midgard.
The reason it was silly is beacuse it is Korg telling the story. I loved this film
Tbh I don't really understand the hate around this film, It's probably my second favourite of the Thor films after Ragnarök
They didn’t spell it out in the movie, but in the comics every time Jane transformed to Thor it purged her body of her chemo drugs.
Hercules is played by Brett Goldstein and you gotta watch Ted Lasso, he’s won a couple Emmy’s for it.
Who puts the glad in Gladiator?
One can assume that the excesses of the narrative is due to who is telling the story.
Addie, when i was younger, i read an issue of the Avengers and Hercules and Sersi were on the team with Wanda and White Vision and Captain America/steve
By the order of release of what's left: I am Groot (post credits in episode 5), She Hulk: Attorney at Law (post credits in episodes 1,2,3,4 and 9), Werewolf by Night, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (one post credits) and Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (two post credits). You already saw the Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special so I don't put it between Wakanda Forever and Quantumania.
Glad you enjoy it fun fact the little girl is actualy chris hemsworth daugther and the wolf lady that Thor makes love in the beginning is Elsa Pataky chris hemsworth wife
That’s Chris Hemsworth’s real daughter who plays Gorr’s (Christian Bale) daughter, Love.
I love this movie so much 😂
I actually did love this move, my only problem was the harsh transition from silly comedy to dark drama, Ragnarok did it much better, other than that I did love this movie. Only other thing is they did film the actual first transformation of Jane, I do see why they did the reveal they did with us seeing her first when Thor does. And maybe in the flashback the actual transformation wouldn't have the same effect, but it would still have been cool to see it.
Seeing the entity eternity was pretty cool .. With cool Easter eggs throughout the whole movie..
Gotta appreciate Addie and her wholesome reactions ♥️ #thingsanADDIEaddictsaysandmeans #proudAteammember
That is why I keep coming back for more.
This is one of my favorite movies.
❤🤗💪👍
In the cartoon show Dexter’s Laboratory there was superhero spoof team called the Justice Friends. The best one was the Thor knockoff, Val Halen who’s name is a take on the metal band “Van Halen” and who’s dialect is cross between bad Shakespearean and a surfer dude!😂
Korg: Hello Kids, Let Me Tell You A Tale.... That Starts..... Right Below Here
6:48
When She Finally Started To Understand Why We All Felt The Way We Did About This Movie
13:59 Love how Addie's first words instead of a curse word is Pearl. Moral of the story: Pearls do have mother 😂😂
The girl is Chris's real life daughter. I liked the movie as well.
I agree with you. This movie got a lot of hate that it didn't deserve.
I like this movie. It only needed one or two more scenes showing Gor actually butchering some gods, and it would have been great. I think most of the negativity around this movie was because of expectations. Gor is a popular villain and his story in the comics is really serious and just one of the best Marvel stories. And the Jane gets cancer story is also a good one. So this movie took two beloved stories and sort of half assed them both. But if you don’t have any of those expectations going in, you won’t be disappointed and this movie is fun and enjoyable as its own thing.
I just realized why this movie is so goofy. It's all told from the perspective of Korg.
Fun Fact: Thor Love & Thunder is the first Thor solo outing without the appearance of Loki.
This movie is based on a Comic Series where, like in the movie, Jane does things with Mjolnir that Thor never managed to do!!!
Yeah... that is another thing... at the end of the movie it is implied that Jane will become a Valkyrie, just like in the comics.
Most of the issue is that in the comics Gorr is a very serious and imposing character who Thor has to take seriously. We don’t get to actually see him killing any gods or doing anything cool really. He just kind of pops up here and there. Plus they rushed over his backstory too quickly. All the serious backstory looks like it got removed from the story in favor of corny and repetitive jokes. I can understand having some humour but it dragged on so long that we missed out on a huge opportunity to make Gorr a really compelling villain who actually was formidable for Thor. At no point in this movie did it ever feel like thor was in any real danger of being killed. That’s just bad.l when the main build up is supposed to be on that level. I felt more terrified of hela than I did here with Gorr. Should’ve just been more Gorr, more GORE, and less jokes from thor. If they would’ve balanced it out a bit more then this movie would’ve been fantastic. But they went a bit overboard with the comedy and lack of consequences.
So glad you enjoyed this! I really loved this movie and it sucks to see how much hate it gets when, like you said, it was very intentionally fun and silly. I think that lightheartedness is needed and something that works for Thor. Obviously, I know this tone doesn't work for everyone, especially when so much of the MCU takes itself so seriously and so fans come to expect that all the time, but I don't think there's anything wrong with experimenting and going for something really different. It worked for me! Always a fun rewatch.
Agreed… I think some of the wacky and silly things of phase 4 are gonna be appreciated in the future… cuz I’m pretty sure things are gonna get darker with Daredevil, Secret Invasion, etc.
It was cool that they used the Guns N Roses song "Sweet Child O' Mine" in this movie.
Hemsworth, Portman, Bale, and Waititi’s kids are littered throughout the film. Most notably, Gorr’s daughter is portrayed by Hemsworth’s daughter India Rose.
BTW @Addie that is Chis Hemsworth own Daughter (The Daughter of GOR)
Jeez hearing Enya play under Taika’s voice during the Thor story is jarring on headphones lol
I really enjoyed this movie, I never understood the hate
I thought this was a solid movie..a little over the top at times but I think they planted seeds for future projects. I seem to remember Chris Hemsworth didn't sign up to be Thor again straight away after End Game so I'm just glad we got another movie out of em. Definitely wanted more Gorr though
