BAHAHAHAHAHA!
Chris Hemsworth, please, honestly GO FUCK YOURSELF. LMAO.
Okay, so, listen, this is honestly going to be the last I ever talk about this, but the fact that I've been proven right about this jackasses involvement in this whole affair has got me laughing!
In 2017, or the year previous, who the fuck knows, Chris Hemsworth got his friend, Taika Waititi to direct Thor 3. Thor Ragnarok, which heavily diverged from the cinematography and the lore of the previous two Thor movies. Chris Hemsworth decided Thor was too boring. He didn't like playing him anymore. He wanted to play someone new and fun. He wanted to play himself. And he got just that.
I'll give Ragnarok enough credit, that aye, I might be fooled into thinking there was some interest the title character. But after Love and Thunder? No, now I know I've been fooled into watching a costume party by Chris Hemsworth, his family, and his friends. Ding ding ding! What do we have here, Johnny?
A bottom tier celebrity making a franchise that not only was all about him - his character, but all about him!!! He's playing himself!
His daughter at the end of Thor: Love and Thunder, is his daughter in real life (she's cute, no diss). His two sons played younger versions of him. His wife was a wolf woman he made out with! His best friends Matt fucking Damon and Taika Waititi both star in the role and the latter directs it.
I'm sorry, but at what fucking point did I sign up for a lazy written fanfiction? Because that's sure as hell not what I thought would happen in Thor 1 or 2, or Avengers. And you know, I am still mad, because I enjoyed the OG Thor, I enjoyed the OG Loki, and Marvel and, wow, did it not pay off.
Alas, it's on me for watching any new Thor films (aye, listen, I gotta family here!), but I just wanted to tell anyone who ever said Thor is a walking self insert nowadays. You are completely and utterly spot on.
Applaud yourself.
PS. Full Review* -> Here
Have fun!

Ao3 is successful, right?
You might like it, hate it, or think critically on certain aspects of it, but I have never seen anyone claim it wasn’t successful. Because it is. It is HUGE!

No wonder the MCU is dying.

As much as I dislike Thor: Love and Thunder, I have to give it credit. Ever since it came out, I’ve noticed a lot more people being critical of Ragnarok in retrospect. It is now much more acceptable to criticize Ragnarok (and its characterization of Thor) compared to several years ago. When Love and Thunder was first announced, I feared it would further solidify Ragnarok as the definitive Thor version, but it looks like it is doing the opposite. There was a silver lining to Love and Thunder after all. Am I being petty? Yes.

Thought I could watch the new Thor trailers and be chill but nope. Apparently I’m still not over it.
The Ragnarok reboot took a male character who was strong and confident but also genuine, honest, and always open with his emotions then turned him into an insecure, posturing, man-baby who cannot process complicated feelings and makes snippy passive-aggressive jabs at anything that threatens his ego.
But it's played as a joke so we're supposed to find it adorable.
And fandom somehow convinced itself this was incredibly woke and the most feminist thing ever.
I’m sorry, This is 100% a downgrade and it still fills me with rage five years later.

Love and Thunder proves that the best/strongest part of the Thor movies is the relationship between Loki and Thor

I ready a summary of Thor Love and Thunder (because I literally could not be paid enough to watch it) and I am so angry. I can’t believe what they did to Thor.
and JANE.
AND EVERYONE?
HOW COULD THIS CHARACTER DESTRUCTION HAVE GOTTEN WORSE?

*Thor: Love and Thunder SPOILERS*
Here's part 2 of my thoughts on this movie.
Stormbreaker is sentient in this movie like Mjolnir.....SINCE WHEN?!?! The weapon never showed signs of being sentient in Infinity War nor in Endgame, so why now in Love and Thunder is it sentient here?! I'll tell you why. It was for an unnecessary plot point of having the ax be jealous of the hammer cause Thor wanted to call Mjolnir and Thor has to talk to Stormbreaker to reassure it that the ax isn't getting replaced.....that's why! 🤦♀️
Jane being Mighty Thor was actually cool to see. I'm surprised that she can fight in that form cause I didn't think she had experience in combat. Must've been something granted by the hammer.
Speaking of the hammer, apparently Thor put an enchantment on Mjolnir to protect Jane when she needs it...oh okay! Apparently, Thor can do that. Maybe he wasn't aware he can do that, but I don't know.
Oh yeah, how the two broke up. It was a "Dear John" letter....I'm not kidding, Jane wrote a breakup letter to Thor and left. Y'know, I didn't mind learning how the two broke up, but there was a nice deleted scene in Thor: The Dark World with the two and it was more serious and emotional than the scene we got in Love and Thunder. I wish that was where the Thor and Jane broke up cause that came off more amicable than the official breakup.
There's a place called the Shadow Realm which is where Gorr is hiding with the kids he's taken. Now, there is a Shadow Realm in the comics, which contained the Soul Masters and I think Knull and the symbiotes reside there too, but I could be wrong with that. But, in the MCU, it's just a barren planet of infinite darkness. Everything's black and white, no color. Also, every time the Shadow Realm gets mentioned in this movie, I think of Yu-Gi-Oh! 😆
Russel Crowe as Zeus....oof....big oof. I don't know if it's because of the actor or if this is how Zeus is supposed to be portrayed in this movie, but Zeus was just....yeah. Well, they definitely set him off to be a future antagonist. And, he's an @$$hole here, which honestly shouldn't be a surprise cause he's an @$$hole in Greek mythology.....also a grapist (minus the g). His accent....I'm not sure if his accent was supposed to be a Greek accent, but it was something.
Where the hell are the other Greek gods? Where is Hera, Zeus' wife?! Cause I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be okay with her husband having a harem(?) with him during that meeting. Also, are those men and woman gods too or are they mortals? And, why did they let Valkyrie take the lightning bolt?! They just stood there and stared at Valkyrie, and one of the woman got a kiss on the hand. I shouldn't expect much from this movie, but I can't help but ask these questions.
Speaking of the kiss on the hand, that's basically all you get with Valkyrie interacting with another woman. If you're expecting to see more of her bisexuality in this movie, I'm sorry but that's not gonna happen. A kiss on the hand and her talking about her maidens is all you're gonna get. Also, Korg at end gets a husband named Dwayne (get it, cause he's made of rocks....hahaha) so he's gay. I think that's all the LGBTQ+ representation this movie has, or I may have missed some.
And now the elephant in the room, Thor accidentally being stripped by Zeus. Now, I don't mind fanservice, but I'm probably one of the few people that got weirded out from seeing this scene (once Chris Hemsworth's butt was exposed, I immediately looked away). I know there are those that'll love seeing Thor naked, but think about the circumstances that led to that. Thor was forced to be nude in front of a lot of gods and his ex and friends. Sure it was an accident, and later on Thor said that he didn't have a problem with it, but what if he did have a problem with it? What if he wasn't okay with it? It would've been bad if Thor wasn't okay with it if that's the case. I also hope that the actor was okay with filming that scene, btw. Anyway, what if it was Jane or Valkyrie that was forced to be stripped? I know more people would've been vocal if that happened to either female characters. Cause, we live in this double-standard world where it's fine to force male characters in those situations when it's not okay to have that happen to female characters. I personally think no one should be forced in noncon scenarios , whether be male, female, nonbinary, or genderfluid.
Speaking of Jane and Valkyrie, it's really messed up that they thought to wait to help Thor because they wanna ogle at Thor's nude body. Like, I get that Thor's hot, but come on! Again if the genders were swapped, people would be more vocal on why this is messed up.
Korg almost dies....honestly, I would be a bit sad, but I'd move on. It's fine if other people like Korg, I'm just kinda indifferent really.
Zeus didn't die from getting hit by his own lightning bolt. I don't know how he survived that, but he did. Guess it's cause he's a god and him being the God of Lightning wouldn't get killed by his own weapon. Would give a sense of irony though.
When Thor was talking via astral projection or something (courtesy of Axl I think), Valkyrie thought it'd be amusing to tickle his nose with her braid. This was just an unnecessary comedic moment, I think, cause he's trying to talk to the kids and it's a very important task, and Valkyrie's trying to interrupt him cause amusement.
Eternity, in the comics, Eternity was the embodiment of the Seventh Cosmos. Eternity was all that existed along the fabric of time across the entirety of the Multiverse, having been formed to ensure the boundlessness of creation. In Guardians of the Galaxy, it was mentioned that he was one of the four cosmic beings that created the Infinity stones. Here? He's a wishing macguffin. That's his purpose! Come to him? He'll grant you a wish! Well, at least they got his shape right, but that's it. Hell he doesn't even talk.
Speaking of wishes, I'm gonna have to assume that Thanos didn't know about Eternity. Cause if he did, he'd have to get something to summon the bifrost to get to Eternity and have his wish granted to wipe out half the universe. Would've saved a lot of time if he knew. Now, it seems to imply that Thor and Valkyrie heard of Eternity so that got me thinking....why didn't any of them suggest to find Eternity to wish everyone that got dusted away to come back?! Would've saved A LOT of time, time travel wouldn't have been invented, Black Widow and Iron Man wouldn't have died, a massive war wouldn't have broken out, and Captain America wouldn't have gone back to the past! Either those two didn't know, or did know but forgot about it. *sigh*
Anyway, that's it from part 2. Part 3 will be the last part.

71% on rotten tomatoes lol looks like the new thor sucks!!!@ 😆 zero character development!! 🤣
I do not trust reviews on a movie that is not even out in theaters yet.
Plus, rotten tomatoes has scored low on movies I've really, really enjoyed, and scored high on movies I've loathed. I've never trusted official sites that do movie reviews because critic opinions don't tend to match public opinions. (Plus review bombing is a thing, happened the the Buzz Lightyear movie that wasn't even out, either.)
I've had a conversation with a friend who didn't mind Thor: Ragnarok and he admitted that he's a simple guy, he likes the bright and shiny. When I told him the flaws and sins of the movie, he ended up agreeing with me despite it. This is now how I view people who enjoy Waititi's directing, those are people who are simple and enjoy bright and shiny things and can ignore missing in-depth complexities the original movies had. The loss is theirs, and yours since you seem to agree.

Okay last one last one, promise, but okay, showing how silly superhero movies are and how it’s just a bunch of people in Halloween costumes (as one reviewer praised Love and Thunder) is actually such a reductive fucking take?
Like??? Have y’all watched old superhero movies? They never took themselves seriously. (Okay some did and those were the good ones!) That’s why those particular movies sucked! They couldn’t commit to the idea of superheroes in the real world.
The beauty and originality of Marvel used to be that it felt like our world but what if Superheroes were real. They felt grounded yet magical!
“magic is just science we don't understand” I live and breathe that quote from the OG Jane Foster. I love it. It makes me dream again in a world that’s complete shit!
There’s nothing in current MCU that offers that. It’s just become the same boring superhero movies of the past. Unrealistic. Formulaic. And the worst part are the heroes that aren’t worthy of their hero title.
What a sad opportunity squandered by greed once again.

If my past self had know this headline I would probably felt satisfied and happy the two movies I hated the most actually got the public rejection I wished on them.
But after the MCU slaughtered Loki’s characterization, nothing really matters anymore.

I know this is like 7 months late but I wanted to get this off my chest. Thor 4 was so bad. If you didn’t like Taika already because of Thor 3 (which I love btw) then you’d hate him even more. If you did like Thor 3, you felt like the juvenile humor was turned up to an 11 and the focus on the plot was nonexistent. Every scene felt like a hodgepodge of writer’s room ideas thrown together like an SNL episode.
- I wanted the comic book accurate Gorr design, it was cool as fuck. They said they didn’t want him to be compared to Voldemort but he still was!
- With Loki getting different versions of himself in the show, I thought for sure they would follow the comic book and have multiple Thors. I was even picturing Liam playing a younger Thor and Russel Crowe playing the older King Thor. Instead, Crowe played a terrible Zeus with a ridiculous accent. It just didn’t fit the role at all.
- Valkyrie’s story was boring and they could have done way more with giving her a love interest instead of having a drunken conversation that they could easily cut out for international audiences.
- I’m sorry to anyone who is a fan of Jane but I really did not want her in the movie. They broke up, they were finished. They had to shoehorn in a love montage just to remind the audience that they had a relationship in the first place.
- I would rather have Thor pursue a romantic relationship with Sif who they also shoehorned into the movie with no real purpose other than exposition dumping.
- NO LOKI CAMEO!!
- No Grandmaster cameo even though I heard they shot scenes but they didn’t make it into the movie.
- The fight scenes had very lazy choreography.
- Honestly, Chris got too bulked up for the role. You can tell he couldn’t move as gracefully as his other appearances as Thor. He seemed miserable from the rigorous exercise routine and diet that I could tell he wasn’t the same cheerful guy on set.
- Taika had no plan for this movie. He winged it like a last minute college essay and it shows. I love his work, most of his movies are amazing but I’m so glad he isn’t coming back for another Thor movie.
