Thor: Love and Thunder felt like it was written by a Disney executive suite after they ran metrics on what test groups laughed at in Taika's other work, then amplified the lulz by 20%, and rewrote it for the 11-16 year old market.
I had already been getting sick of superhero movies, but god damn that one was awful imo. The genre should have ended on a high note and stuck with that. It's a great time to try new, non-super hero movies.
Because the whole "casual super hero start -> personal setback -> bad guy: all your base belong to us -> super hero assembles a team to destroy NYC -> bad guy loses all bases in 40 minutes" plot is very tired.
Has this movie been praised though?
Doubtful. The whole marvel train is crashing.
I had the feeling that they tried to merge a dark drama and a slapstick comedy into one movie.
The God killer, especially the intro was quite interesting and dark. I could relate with his anger, disappointment and urge for vengeance.
I'd blocked that from my memory, thanks for reminding me
Liked it. But I like goofy shit, and I don't like Marvel.
If they had done that with Batman I'd have pitched a fit. Like I did with Clooney Batman.
Joel Schumacher's Batmen movies, especially the Clooney one, were so awful they changed the tone of superhero movies from that point on.
I watched them both very recently during an extended Arnold Schwarzenegger movie binge, and it's absolutely worth hate-watching them again for the sheer wonkiness and absurdity of... everything. Try tallying the Dutch angles. And girl power platitudes.
