A good chunk of the weirdness is based in Norse mythology. Vikings flying around in space in a boat being dragged by goats on a rainbow bridge is actually a thing.
Denmark and Scandinavian "Space Viking" here. What a lot of Marvel fans seem to have missed is, that Thor seem to be a simpler and funnier character in most of this movie, because it's Korg who is the narrator, so everything except from the very "bleak" start and up until the last part, is presented through the mind and eyes of Korg, who not coincidentally is voiced and motion-captured by Taika Waititi himself. A fun fact, Thursday is actually also named after Nordic Mythology, with Thursday meaning "Thor's Day" and coincidentally, Chris Hemsworth was actually born on a Thursday (Thor's Day).
Wednesday is also named from Norse Mythology, after Odin. Friday after Odin's wife, Frigga. Tuesday for Tyr, Norse god of war/combat, who is sometimes referred to as a son of Odin and half-brother to Thor.
I loved his reaction to the new Thor movie, and there is something that caught my attention... and that is when they said about the golden dust when Jane dies, and that golden dust represents the Gods, because he said this, Well, only the Gods can vanish like this, Odin died and vanished into golden dust, the god who killed Gorr at the beginning of the film too, only half censored, and Jane, despite being human, did die as a Goddess, Because the hammer chose her and when the hammer chooses a bearer, it automatically becomes the god of thunder, as happened with Jane.
I'm able to enjoy this one because I interpret the images we see as what the children imagine as Korg is telling *his version* of the story, and not an accurate cinematic representation of these events. Otherwise, it's completely off the rails. It's like the Zucker Brothers spoof of a Thor movie.
I read that Thor's new daughter is actually Chris's real daughter. And his son played you g Thor in the beginning of the movie and his brother portrayed Thor on the stage opposite Matt Damon. Also most of the kids in the movie were the children of the other actors in the movie also.
I am very much of the mind that we aren't seeing the events in this movie as they actually happened, but are instead seeing the dramatization of Korg's retelling of the events of the movie. Korg is a storyteller, and does embellish, so it fits. Just so you know, while the splits scene was very much an homage to Jean-Claude Van Damme, the spin kick in the next scene was ALSO an homage to Jean-Claude Van Damme, as that was a signature move he used in fight scenes. The goats are actually part of true Norse Mythology. They are Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder, and in actual Norse Myth, Thor doesn't fly but is pulled across the sky by those goats, so hitching them to the boat is a nod to that.
@@TheKillaShow given that I've seen other people have the same theory, independent of myself, no, I'm not. Recall that the MCU is never as simple as it seems. There's always deeper meaning to it. Just like there has always been deeper meanings to comic books.
Thor and Jane's relationship was the best part of the movie for me. Mighty Thor was so awesome. I loved how much we got of Valkyrie, just wish we got more of Gorr. Christian Bale did such a fantastic job. Yes the third act was the best, so much more weight and intimate. I'm honestly excited to see more of Thor and Love. Chris Hemsworth's daughter did such an amazing job. The jokes went way far a bit and a lot was out of place, but overall I enjoyed this. You guys are so awesome! 🥰🙏🏾
Yay! I love absurdity so I was waiting for this react! Totally also just skipped to the first stinger reaction and now I'm going back to the beginning :D
I have to say, like Jacqui said this movie should be expected as a… not serious one, as a DC fan that comic series is actually something I’ve read, it is comic based and accurate, but the difference is that the tone in the comics are serious and engaging and horror and general theme of this kind of story, the goats are too much honestly and not in a good way, the story is way too short, you could add another full movie into it, some visuals had room to be watchable, but if you don’t expect much it can be fun, I love seeing you react to every bit of it, paying attention to details and adding your own knowledge to it, I’m really happy watching this with you❤️
Watched it sober. Kind of middle ground on the movie. Didn't love it. But didn't really hate it. As for the reaction, loved it. The portrayals of Sam (everything is fine), was a chef's kiss. The space dolphins (Who DOESN'T love Hitchhiker's Guide? 😁). And love that Jacqui falling more and more towards the dark si... I mean, she is loving more and more of Star Wars. ;-) So, in conclusion, all I have to say is: "For the Children" :-)
Funfact: In the comics the Necrosword is the first ever symbiote created by Knull the God of Symbiotes as a weapon to slay all gods, it is the progenitor of all symbiotes including Venom.
To answer some of your questions: Jane's arc is very similar to the comic run. Gorr's arc is very similar but ridiculously shortened, which is a shame considering how much I enjoyed Bale in the role. Gorr's sword in the comics is actually a Symbiotic god called Knull, but since Sony owns the rights to movie depictions of Spider-man and Venom, they were able to prevent Taika from referencing that part of the character. Thor does not have a daughter in the comics and fun fact, she's actually played by Hemsworth's IRL daughter here.
Thanks, Jacqui! Thanks, Sam! I love this one... especially the goats, 'Tanngrisnir' and 'Tanngnjóstr'. 🌩 #TheShameList #TaikaWaititi #ThorLoveAndThunder
Its not the best or worst movie. But i like it. Its fun, entertaining,chessy,and little bit emotional. I like how they potray zues exaclty in greek mythology. Selfish and lazy lol In comic, thor and herculer is rival, but in the end they tag friends to defend bad vry strong villian
Oh, you did not react to some of my favorite scenes - like Thor reacts to Mighty Thor showing up to help at the end or the girl bonding moment when Jane come out of the bathroom. This is a silly movie, but there were some good moments.
Close to the comics or not, I was hugely disappointed by this movie. Ragnarok actually brought a much needed energy and fun into Thor movie, and actually gave him an arc that continued into Infinity war and End game. While there was humor, the stakes were impactful as well Love and Thunder was force fit with so much humor that it felt like a parody. The stakes felt nothing because of the obsessive need for a tongue-in-cheek remark. Bale's performance needed more screen time and a better story. This kind of a treatment is fine for a 1st or even 2nd installment in a franchise, but it's the 4th stand alone and 8th appearance of Thor. It felt so pointless. I can never connect to a movie that compromises character arcs for some silly jokes. The entire Zeus part of the movie was borderline ridiculous
It's a fun, has nothing to do with the overall story.. (that we know of).. enjoy it for what it is movie.. And.. a couple callbacks to the same joke audibly and visually .. pushing it.. 3.. no bueno I says this.. For the children. Its a 6/10 that looks pretty but I'll watch again.. And yes, redder "can" be better.
Ragnarok people, didn't you like it? It was the same director, I knew it would be the same goofy vibe. In She-Hulk occurs too, where in the comics she's the hero that everything goes wrong because her doesn't want to be. You have to embrace chaos, go in the right mindset, or give up.
Hey guys I am watching your reaction for the first time today, but is she single or married? Whatever she is right now, let me tell you that you are really beautiful girl. If you are single then I really want to be with you😍😍
It would be a boring watch along if they just 'watched along and said nought, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be talking like this in the theatre......if u wanna watch the movie without folks talking over it, just go watch it and quit with the banal moaning, ur embarrassing urself.

The Greek gods bleeding golden is also taken from mythology. The golden blood is called ichor.

Ever since Taika got involved, Thor has been the universe's greatest himbo...
The Greek Gods bleeding gold is taken directly from the Mythos, and Love is actually played by Chris’s IRL daughter.

Not gonna lie, i totally loved this movie :D
My favorite one after end game
I did to but me personally I would remove most of the jokes then I would enjoy it way more
You two are quickly becoming one of my favourite reaction channels ❤❤
😆 it’s a question of choice. From the beginning, I chose to accept the silliness and the campiness of it all!
Fun fact, the little girl that Thor adopts is Chris Hemsworth real life daughter, India Rose.
Yep, and the kids in the cage include Bale, Portman and Waititi's kids. Also ' young thor' is Hemsworths two sons.
@@damian01061973 wow
They really didn't give chance to some ordinary talented kids!!!
@@jyothijose7840 *eyeroll*
Yay! I love absurdity so I was waiting for this react! Totally also just skipped to the first stinger reaction and now I'm going back to the beginning :D
Also, the greatest MCU soundtrack outside of a Guardians movie. Love G'N'R' and I absolutely adore Enya. 👍😍
For this movie it should be "Thor the children 🙏Thor the children"
I wish we had thought of that! 😂
❤️Jacqui
18:35 That's called sexual assault btw.
I lowkey love this film but you can tell there's about an hour or so cut out of it.
I have to say, like Jacqui said this movie should be expected as a… not serious one, as a DC fan that comic series is actually something I’ve read, it is comic based and accurate, but the difference is that the tone in the comics are serious and engaging and horror and general theme of this kind of story, the goats are too much honestly and not in a good way, the story is way too short, you could add another full movie into it, some visuals had room to be watchable, but if you don’t expect much it can be fun, I love seeing you react to every bit of it, paying attention to details and adding your own knowledge to it, I’m really happy watching this with you❤️
YES. I've been excited for your reaction to this, particularly as Ted Lasso fans 😉
The reason his arms and him in general are so big is because the is playing Hulk Hogan in an upcoming movie
Watched it sober. Kind of middle ground on the movie. Didn't love it. But didn't really hate it.

So, in conclusion, all I have to say is: "For the Children" :-)
You should check out some of the deleted scenes, they presented Zeus in a more dignified light and added some gravitas and weight to the story.
Idea: Sam as Gorr and Jaqui as Mighty Thor for Hallowe'en
Funfact: In the comics the Necrosword is the first ever symbiote created by Knull the God of Symbiotes as a weapon to slay all gods, it is the progenitor of all symbiotes including Venom.
HE'S HERE, HE'S THERE, HE'S EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE ROY KEEENT! ROY KEEENNNT!"
Also the reason it was so out there is cause the story was being told by Korg
I'm with you EMBRACE the crazy trip and laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome love this channel

14:40 This will never get old. 🤣🤣🤣
I enjoy this movie a lot ! It was awesome and I loved the Goats 🐏
She is already all the pretty, how could she get more pretty?
Thanks, Jacqui! Thanks, Sam! I love this one... especially the goats, 'Tanngrisnir' and 'Tanngnjóstr'. 🌩 #TheShameList #TaikaWaititi #ThorLoveAndThunder
At the beginning y’all were right about Lex Luther, he is part of DC
Gorrs daughter is actually Chris hemsworths daughter in real life
i feel like im watching a 90s cartoon character
Everyone always calls out Luke Hemsworth and Matt Damon but never acknowledges Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) playing Odin.
Subbed 😃
I was there for the plot…*the plot-Asguardian A**
Phase 1,2 and 3 was more action and drama with some comedy sprinkled in but phase 4 is just full on comedy.
Yes the CEO of marvel said a while ago that from stage 4 and onward the movies will be AS CLOSE TO THE COMICS AS POSSIBLE
Jane will probably be back in secret wars
Screaming goats
🤣🤣🤣
Hey. the MCU is like the real universe, it's vast and contains multitudes. Just saying, is all...
Lord WaldeMart
Voldemart instead of Woldemort 😂
I liked this movie better than a lot of people, it was so much fun (despite some pretty heavy parts).❤⚡
Still a step down from Ragnarok, though.
Its not the best or worst movie. But i like it. Its fun, entertaining,chessy,and little bit emotional.
I like how they potray zues exaclty in greek mythology. Selfish and lazy lol

38:30 Jacqui, you need to watch Marvel's What if... you have no idea on how on the nose you are about this.
This thor sucked in my opinion lol
Hey guys I am watching your reaction for the first time today, but is she single or married? Whatever she is right now, let me tell you that you are really beautiful girl. If you are single then I really want to be with you😍😍
I’m so glad people like you didn’t go to the theater to see this and ruin the movie for everyone with your constant talking.
It would be a boring watch along if they just 'watched along and said nought, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be talking like this in the theatre......if u wanna watch the movie without folks talking over it, just go watch it and quit with the banal moaning, ur embarrassing urself.
