    In regards to the line about Zeus's accent: me and my gf are both Greek and when we heard this accent in the theaters we half expected him to start cussing Thor out in Greek. By far the best Greek accent from a non-Greek actor.

    Some things I learned about this movie:
    -Most of the Asgardian children belong to the cast and crew, Taika's kids, Bale's kids, Hemsworth's kids, Portman's kids, which I think is fun and adorable
    -Russell Crowe convinced Taika to let him use the Greek accent after doing the same take twice one with and one without
    -Korg's partner is Dwayne, The Rock alien, Dwayne, it's a very funny joke and I didn't see it mentioned by many people
    -Natalie Portman said she loved getting buff for this role and it was one of the more fun roles she's had in awhile

    One thing I definitely loved about Bale's performance is how quickly it was apparent that the Necrosword altered his mind. When he grasped the sword, his demeanor instantly changed from "shell-shocked, grieving father" to "calm, bloodthirsty killer." And when the sword was destroyed he switched back almost instantly as well. I just really wish we had seen more of him actually killing gods.

    So much of how good Jane is in the movie is actually due to Natalie Portman fighting to keep the character consistent with the first two movies. During the writing process, Taika offered to revamp the character the way Thor was revamped for Ragnarok, but Natalie stuck to her (very impressive) guns because she knew that Jane was fine just the way she was, and really only needed the chance to show it. Badass Good Girl, Natalie Portman is always a win.

    The depiction of someone battling cancer is eerily spot on for what I was expecting to be an over-comedic, action flick. Jane often looked so much like my own mother did during her battle. And with that there were definitely days when my mom was doing so well she almost seemed above her normal health, almost heroic, but after each of those days the next would be even worse. I was not prepared to find so many strong emotions tied into this movie. I applaud it and am patiently waiting to have the courage to watch it again.

    Your explanation of how Thor-ing up was killing Jane (removing the chemo "poison" without actually doing anything about the cancer) is basically straight-up how it was in the comics, so it fits. Meanwhile, I agree that Bale did a fantastic job as Gorr, but I'm kind of glad that he _is_ a one-and-done villain, because IMO in the comics he _vastly_ overstayed his welcome to the point that he stopped being "ooh scary threatening villain whose philosophy challenges the validity of Thor and his fellow deities" and became "oh ffs just stfu and go away already."

    That's what I LOVE about this channel.
    I saw the movie, with no spoilers ahead. And I didn't really liked it.
    I went out thinking to myself "ok, Taika screwed up, shit happens, he's not always super funny, I bet he went too far, too bad, whatever, I won't be rewatching that one and that's it".
    Then I heard the critics, and people being mad, giving the same arguments than me but... how to put it... harsher?
    And it did make me sad. Because I thought to myself: "ok, I didn't like it either... but it wasn't THAT bad".
    Thanks to you it reminds me which scenes I liked, because they were fucking cool, fucking well done, fucking well filmed, fucking well acted, fucking well many things about this movie.
    Sure, it HAS its downs, but without these, everybody would have fucking loved it!
    More importantly: life sucks enough for us not to hate on fantasy. And that's what this channel is all about, to me.
    Even if sometimes it's not the time to see the bright side: sometimes, it absolutely is.
    Movies are in this case, and you'll always remember us it's better to enjoy them than be mad at them. Lovers are winners. Go CinemaWins.

    I know the tone of this movie is a bit all over the place and sometimes things are ridiculous. I figured, all of this film was a tale told by Korg, based on what really happened and explains the silliness at times. Also how great is it that Thor concludes his arc by mirroring Odins journey. He lost his partner and now adopts the child of his enemy. All in all, I really enjoyed it, though recognize the issues.

    I don't think we'll see any more Mighty Thor, but I DO think that sending her to Valhalla sets Jane up perfectly to come back as (a) Valkyrie, since that's what happened in the comics. Sacrificed herself as Mighty Thor, went to Valhalla, came back. so... yeah.
    Edit: Also, that theory is more or less exactly what was explained in the comics. When Mjolnir transformed her into Mighty Thor, it was also burning all the "poison" out of Jane's veins.

      You know what also happened in the comics? Gorrr wasn't a kiddie snatcher, but a formidable foe who fought Thor across three timelines and his ultimate plan was to build a bomb that would kill all gods and three versions of Thor, three serious and totally badass version of Thor, had to team up to stop him. Oh, and he was never "redeemed" in the comic. It's the focal point of the story that Gorr is a bad person and doesn't deserve redemption. So I say we don't use comics, because MCU Thor movies have nothing in common with them after the first movie.

    It was so great to have Natalie Portman as Jane Foster back in the franchise; didn't realize *just* how much I'd missed her in Ragnarök until her sudden first appearance in Love & Thunder. I appreciate Taika taking the time in L&T to establish a backstory as to why they'd supposedly "broken up" back then, and every scene where Thor & Jane fight side by side as a bad-ass power couple was such a treat! Plus, Chris & Natalie's chemistry remained strong as ever; I could feel *their* reunion just as much as I felt Thor & Jane's. 🥰⚒
    (Also, on a personal note, I would've included a win for seeing Valkyrie wear a Phantom of the Opera shirt in the film. Even Asgardian warrior women can develop great taste in musicals 😊😉).

Thor and Jane's relationship was the best part (usually when you separate a couple only to have them back together it falls flat) and the message about "better to love and loose than to never to have loved at all" (or as HTTYD3 said "with love comes loss, that's part of the deal") is truly the heart of it all. Also, Gorr´s story was great as well, proves Marvel does do villains great.

      I like the character's dynamic of being flippant and apparently aloof but revealing greater emotional depth (see his convos with Rocket). Personally, I think he uses intentional buffonery as both cover and to entertain those around him. Like he's sharing his own coping mechanism.
      I think it's a subtle brilliance of Hemsworth's performance, along with the writing (which I'm sure, at this point, he gets a say in).
      See 14:55 where his _apparent_ ignorance of an Earth idiom ("break a leg") is displayed in his follow-up line ("I'll break all his legs"). Jane's chuckle suggests she knows he's playing dumb just to make her laugh. That's my take on the exchange, anyway.

We didn’t see Gorr find and butcher the gods. And whenever he was on screen, every shot change was inconsistent so you could tell that a lot was edited out. Which Marvel and Taika confirmed since they felt that a lot of Gorr’s scenes were too scary or rated-R. So that was a bummer and it hurt the film, but I loved everything else about the movie.

I think a lot of people only go into Marvel movies to analyze every scene. By those standards, it's not the best movie. This movie is also not as brutal as the others, and can be inspiring to kids, which I loved. It still pulled the heartstrings. I also loved that, for me, it redeemed a character who I thought of as mundane and boring. It really made Jane's character amazing.
    Also, the majority of the kids in this film are the actors' kids, which is adorable and heartwarming. I also liked Ragnorak, so I am definitely preferential to the light-hearted action and humor that we don't usually see in MCU movies. But this movie just killed it.

    One thing I walked away with from this movie is that despite it having the makings of a romantic comedy, it avoids the most common (and annoying) narrative device of that genre: bad communication. While Thor doesn't always immediately say what's on his mind, when he does he doesn't hold back, doesn't beat around the bush, and makes himself understood. I think part of the reason is that the movie had a lot of other things to do and so didn't have the time to deal with that sort of nonsense, but it also reads to me as how much Thor has matured by this point in his story.

      I wouldn't say no to shows but it's incredibly unlikely. There would probably need to be another channel, there's A LOT of new and very long material to work with and it would likely delay the main channels content by a huge amount considering there's just a bit of a time difference between shows and movies.

We know Love is one of those powerful figures too (seen in her own universe reflection), so I really want her to either be apart of the young avengers, some vigilante who has to discover her true power, or even in a villan role would not be mad XD lol

    Ahhh Thor Love and Thunder: the most under appreciated recent installment in the MCU. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t my favorite either, there were a lot of things that could have been better, and debatably *should* have been better. After thinking about it though, I think this film executes what it was meant to in the best possible way. The biggest thing that changed my mind on my thoughts on this movie was the fact that Korg narrates the movie. Once I remembered this, I became more appreciative of THOR:L&T. Of course it’s going to be weird, and of course it’s going to have HUGE narrative loopholes, and of course it’s not going to be serious. That’s Korg, and Korg narrates the film. Personally, I think of this film as a “based on a true story” MCU film. This isn’t what actually happened, this is a retelling of the events that takes a lot of artistic liberty.

    Love this movie because it actually progresses Thor's Character Arc. In Endgame/Infinity War he refused to let people go, thinking that "fate is on his side" as if he could stop death itself and when he couldn't it broke him. That's what we saw in Endgame, a man who couldn't move on and now in this film he has one thing, just one thing back that he lost and he finds out the woman he loves is dying of cancer. As you said he let's her chose how she wants to spend her final moments and in doing so loses another person he loves but this time he has a choice in the matter and grows by letting it happen and not looking away when she dies. Yeah this movie is goofy and surly not everything works but in no way would I call this film bad.

    • @the_tactician9858
      @the_tactician9858 2 роки тому

      Part of it is the expectations and the fact phase 4 of MCU hasn't been groundbreaking. People have been told they would get new stories, and given how good the Infinity Saga was expected quality of that caliber, but apart from Spiderman: No Way Home nothing really came close to it. And with Thor: Love & Thunder, that is not different. The movie is decent imo but it is not the new Infinity War, and patience is running thinner with every bad, mediocre or 'merely decent' films. To top it off it is guilty of trends in Hollywood that alienate part of the audience. Not everyone will like it if Valkyrie outperforms the poster boy, even if there are technically rules that allow that, and to be fair, Thor never really gets his comeuppance, and neither did he against Hela.
      That is not to say this movie is a flop and has no redeeming qualities. The message on cancer is welcome, the villain is written smartly and there are a bunch of good jokes in there, even if they start to go stale after all the comedies in the MCU (as opposed to She-Hulk, which for a supposed slice-of-life comedy has very little humor afaics). It has problems, but nothing that writes it off completely. It is however indicative of how MCU Phase 4 is a serious step down in quality from the Infinity Saga, and I for one am not looking forward to Phase 5 anymore.

Nerdrotic for example is one of the worse and he doesn’t even try to hide the bigotry when he tries.
