THOR LOVE & THUNDER - A Perfectly Mediocre Superhero Movie 

Yikes

That's... actually awful. Cancer is a serious medical issue.

@@thejasminedragonmerchant6843 Pretty sure Jane and Thor aren't real.

I laughed a little too ngl 💀 obviously not because of cancer as a serious illness but because of how random and dumb it was as a plot device in a Thor movie 💀💀💀

Edgelord. Gross.

But the consumer surveys say we need MORE comic relief characters!

Indeed. And I really wanted to like the film more than I did. It certainly had the potential and Taika has done that well in his career, but this movie felt like a big dumb joke, except when it had to grin and bear being "serious". This was Taika just on a high and doing what he wanted because he can get the money to do so, and I hope he does something smaller and actually cares next time.

Don't expect depth from a kiddie pool.

@@gregoryl.levitre9759 with a thimble of water in it.

Portman can't act.

Also love the DB reference.

@@simplebeauty120 I was thinking the same thing, Zeus is a bit of an all powerful tyrant in Greek mythology so can imagine other gods secretly hoping for his demise/the top spot to free up without having to expose their own disloyalty

'Oh no, Zeus might die? What horror! Anyway,' - Hera, probably

more like the budget weren't allowed

it makes sense they didnt help him, it didnt make sense he got killed so easily

well children empowered by the Thor Force plus it's shown his daughter is powerful herself now

LOL.. You are right. The endless cicle

I think the kids being gifted Zeus' power made them, in a sense, "temporarily immortal", seeing how Zeus was shot through the chest and survived. Kind of dumb since Thor has no way of knowing this, and ya it was a very silly scene. What really convinced Gorr of Thor's compassion was the scene with Jane anyway.

To be fair they didn't exactly have any way of escaping the shadow beasts he had summoned, so that was ironically the only way Thor could protect the kids in that regard. Also important to note that the sword had been destroyed directly prior to them meeting Eternity, so the curse's murderous bias against the gods it casted in his head was already effectively gone by the time Jane died

@@ElvistheAlien the movie is shit

It's funny the first time, but Taika's dadjoke brain took over and told him to put that in AGAIN AND AGAIN

the goats automatically lost points with me the minute they got introduced because its literally the definition of a writer that thought "what are the kids into these days" like when they made the hulk dab

It reminded me of the Llama from the Guardians of The Galaxy game

Fcking goats super annoying.

I thought the goats were funny:(

Same opinion as everybody else, nothing original

Yeah. Taika Waititi is really a great comedian and director, but it should have been him and someone who has alot more experience writing blockbuster epics rather than just normal movies.

@@RralRonaldo he is right, this movie could’ve been really good but taika tried to hard to make it a comedy and it just didn’t work like he wanted it to.

Who cares

Oo

Yeah

People have expectations so

In terms of the MCU, Love and Thunder *is* an unmitigated disaster though. It’s pretty easily the worst MCU movie (and I say that as someone who only likes maybe 4 of these things) and one of the worst movies of the year. There isn’t a single laugh in the movie, lots of Taikaing (yuck) all over the place. Any serious elements are swept completely under the rug in favor for bad jokes. Bale is giving it his all, but you can only do so much with this nothing role.

a lot of times its clickbait, but this movie really deserves the hate, it was soooo bad

@@Crinbo eternals exists ya know

@@nikkikado4079 That’s true! Tbh I forgot about it. It was less actively annoying than Love and Thunder I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

marvel fans be like

exactly, the direction made a parody, not a good adaption

“Look how they massacred my boy”

Yeah that one hurts, I wait for beautiful dramatic scenes but it's just jokes, I love scenes of Gorr and his daughter, the love he has for his daughter ngl made me tear up

What? The movie did not treat him like a fucking joke dude. What are you even talking about?

like how he had survivor's guilt and was in a dark place when we last saw him even after redeeming himself

Yea it feels like he was straight up character assassinated

Yeah they tried to recreate Thor Ragnorok, but he just went through a bunch of trauma so he shouldnt be so happy-go-lucky as he was at the beginning of Ragnorok. Characters need consistency and causes for change.

The writers said he’s not fat anymore so he’s good

Thor was finally in a good place in life again. Thanos was gone for good, he’s fit again, and was adventuring with the guardians. He also has a new purpose with raising love which I think is really interesting. He went from cocky prince who wouldn’t listen to his dad to an adoptive dad himself. I think his whole experience has humbled him and made him understand why Odin did what he did.

came to the comments to see someone point that out...

Me too xD​@@jakeprado7724

Right, and I don't think it's fair for that one to be tossed in with the rest seeing that the 'Anatomy of a Failure' title has been given to good films in the past, and vice versa.

True but Elvis was just pointing out the hate bandwagon when it comes to films and youtubians content creators. They use catchy negative titles, talk a lot of shit to get views which can turn into money.Filmento doesnt do a deep dive into the negativity like other creators so I like his stuff a lot. I dont mind a good bashing for crappy movies but it gets boring after awhile if it has no substance.

​@@RayValdezPhotography doesnt mean they're wrong, having a different opinion is good, but having the wrong opinion about a fact is beyond stupid, and the fact is this movie sucks fucking ass

It's too obvious for them to not have been aware of, which leads me to believe it was a cut scene, surely.

Well there's also Khonshu from Moon Knight, who insists on helping humanity with Marc as his avatar.

@@gaminggalaxies6633 Khonshu is kind of a vengeful god so idk if I’d say he’s that helpful.

@@BoogSReviews He helped save the world from Ammit and her deciples in Moon Knight, and he explicitly goes after evil people and those who've done harm to innocents. Yeah, he's a prick but in comparison to his own patheon (with exception to Taweret) who are all content to just be idle observers and especially compared to most of the gods in Love and Thunder...yeah, I'd say he's pretty damn helpful.

That's a problem that's really annoyed me with action movies as of late. The villain actually winds up slightly agreeable, if not just completely in the right, but does something morally objectionable to make sure the audience doesn't actually side with him in the end

They did film it to my understanding but the movie ended up being like 4 hours and so they cut a lot because marvel didn't want it to be over 2 or 3 hours and that led to Taika being mad (I mean, rightfully so, no way home and Dr strange were longer than hid film) and so he cut a lot as like a middle finger to marvel

@@justarandomghost2144 that's just childish though, making your film worse just as a middle finger lmao

@@justarandomghost2144 we need a takia's cut!!!!

@@TheDiamondSlayer1 This has been reoccurring, they just cut down and reshoot. Happened with Dr Strange MOM

@@thejaded y are you talking about Doctor strange's mother? Which makes absolutely no sense

@@littlesparrow303 Chris is an actor. Not a writer.

Cause its a comedy movie

ironically this was the best she's been in the franchise.

After her saying call me "Doctor Jane Foster" I don't think any story after that would have made people tear up lol, she got offended by "Lady Thor" whilst Thor is being made up all the time lol

@@pagatryx5451 actually after the 1st film Chris was given more freedom (because of the success) and yes he did wanted Thor to be more comedic hence the shit show after 2nd Thor and other marvel films with Thor. Did u ever watch the BTS or bonus shit on the 2nd bluray? Chris is a drama queen since his days on home and away and will always be a drama queen/action star but for the love of gorr he needs to lay off comedic roles imo he's shit at comedy

There's been mentions that there were some "bordering on R18" level scenes of Gorr cut from the movie, and I have to wonder if those scenes were him actually earning the epithet "god butcher"

Bro that would've been badass. Maybe like a scene where they all try to gang up on him. Kind of like when Hela came back to Asgard 🤷🏾‍♂

@@thejaded not only it would solidify gorr nickname, it will also give scene between gorr and thor a lot more tension because we know what gorr is capable of

@@leepicrandomaa I think they should've had maybe two movies to build up Gorr. He was truly a underdeveloped villain and that's sad...

Is it because technically groot is carrying it? It's part of the weapon but at the same time weilding it

it was enchanted though.... he enchanted it in infinity war when he first got it, when he got knocked unconscious and after groot gave it the handle

@@toninomatalone7323 No, Mjolnir couldn't be lifted by unworthy beings because Odin spoke an unbrakable vow into it at the beginning of the first Thor movie. That vow was never made on Stormbraker, and since Stormbreaker isn't sentient (only the handle since its groots arm) it doesn't have any limitations on who can actually wield it.

@@jakemelendez7843 Oh ok thanks! Cool to know.

I was waiting for someone to bring this up.

Looked like a theme park to me.

@@_Tokenwhtguy Probably deliberate given how much this film relies on comedy to carry it.

They did that so Disney can make some subliminal positive messaging about it’s theme parks and can build a Thor area and products to sell.

@@_Tokenwhtguy It's just a Norwegian fishing town that came to house the refugee Asgardians after the snap, Thor was living there when Hulk and Rocket picked him up. The beginning is just Valkyrie opening tourist attractions

@@_Tokenwhtguy I mean they’re using Norse god tech so that’s probably why

Same lol, i actually had to rewind the vid a bit to make sure it was in it lol.

Yes

He was pretty good, yeah... But Thanos (pre "young version" in Endgame) was hands down the best villain in the MCU. Hell, he's probably one of the best villains in cinematic history.

@@Happyfoam-lw3yt Yeah true I guess

Loki was better than Thanos, and Loki wasn't anywhere near the best ever, so calm down. Marvel just made everything leading up to Thanos all stupidly epic and shit, it was designed to make you think he was a lot better than he actually was.

These are Marvel movies, nowhere near the best at anything really. The quality is only going down from here too.

@@ermacjones4821 That’s true

I think the problem with the movie was the director... Taika, as you said, obviously didn't care and I didn't get the sense that we were missing much. It was just...crap?

The director said he doesn’t believe in directors cuts. So this likely will not happen

I have no interest in seeing the "Taika cut"

@@TheGlamchic99 "Doesn't believe in directors cuts"? Thats... bizarre. If someone really loves and is proud of their work, wouldn't they want to show all of it in the way they wanted, not only the parts they could fit into a corporate determined timeframe? Probably has more nuanced reasoning behind it but at a glance it sounds sad

Honestly, yes! Reminds me of a little something that happened at school. Back then one of my teachers picked a movie for us to choose from since my class already finished the movie, Finding Nemo. One of the kids in my classroom picked another Pixar movie that wasn't very great, and neither looks good with its ratings. I wasn't very sure since I thought that I would have hated it. Especially after what I've heard. Though, after watching it I change my opinion. Sure, I've spotted some parts of the movie that not many people would have liked, but honestly, I was obsessed with it. I started to learn a little bit about separating opinions that each included my own. And honestly, It felt refreshing. Now, this doesn't imply everything but honestly, I think it would be better for people to begin seeing things for themselves other than relying on a popular opinion! Just thought it would be nice to share this

Opinions like asshole. Why so many

This is very nitpicky, but the only problem I had with that section is that he showed CinemaWins instead of CinemaSins. The latter is definitely a channel that fits in this statement better.

Why am I the only one who apparently didn't like the black and white battle? Like it literally just looks like a crappy black and white filter was put over the phone at times you can see the red in his cape when you weren't supposed to 😭. It felt like lazy editing to me.

Nah, movie sucked big nuts.

She just came back to life, maybe she was shocked... who knows

Probably feels a little weird to have have come back to life with some of eternity's power. Still, anything would've been better than the nothing she brought.

Everyone reacts different to death. As far as kids, even in real life who knows what they are processing. They might not get hit hard with death like an adult. It just depends. I always find it a weird criticism to tell people how they should handle grief. That was some of the logic behind people that harassed victims of mass shootings for not crying enough or can be used to say someone is the murder suspect for not having tears if a love one is murdered.

​@@RayValdezPhotographyAt least I can tell what's going on with someone's lack of reaction after a trauma, as you can see the life drained from them. Eyes speaks volumes, too. Some kids are planks of wood, or not allowed to act!

​@RayValdezPhotography what you're saying makes sense for the real world, but zero sense for a movie. At the end of the day, movies are meant to entertain us. Her showing no emotion wasn't entertaining, it was awkward and slightly cringe

My mum thought it was hot, dude, I was so embarrassed dude

@@TheBoiledOne. I mean, Thor is pretty hot

Not to be that guy but I feel like if Thor was a woman we wouldn't be so hehe haha about that scene. It's incredibly outdated humor.

@@TheBoiledOne. She ain't wrong tho, he's damn fine

@@haltocarrick5504 I guess so, but I'm not gae

I actually had my friend shaking me cause I was falling alseep

My brother watched and he's like it's bad

yeah man same holy hahaha

That would require creativity, care and thought

@@ninjanibba4259 3 things that the mcu no longer has

@@rockeiro1916 call me stupid, but I'm not ready to walk away just yet, as long as there future projects that could potentially turn it around from this rut, I'm sticking through it

That would stray waaaay too far from the comics and would probably end up the same quality either way so it would just come out worse

i about had a fuckin heart attack, it came through my right headphone speaker and theres a window to my right

I thought someone was knocking on my window dude

As explained in the movie it is a power exclusive to Zeus's weapon, resembled also by the use of yellow lighting instead of the usual light blue one.

@@user-tx4jg7yl7h when was it explained? The kids getting powers came out of nowhere, that was never said

@@user-tx4jg7yl7h What are you talking about? Thor borrowed "the power of thor" to every child during the final battle. That is something Thor can do because he's Odin's son. He can enchant their "weapons" the same way his Father enchanted mjolnir and he's done this quite a few times in the comics. None of that had anything to do with Zeus' thunderbolt, it's simply the weapon he was holding at the time and therefore became the conduit. He could've done the same thing with stormbreaker, just as Odin did with mjolnir.

@@ninjanibba4259 all the lighting is coming from Zeus’ bolt and is yellow. It’s clear it’s Zeus’ power

Also, CinemaWins? Bro, CinemaSins is the channel that fits better here.

@@kyleforbes6048 I think at this point (hopefully) most people have realized cinemasins is just pure trash and not a genuine way to gauge if a movie is good or not.

@@goblingoovo6508 The motto for Cinema Sins is "No movie is without a sin".

@@WhovianSentaiRangerFan I hope you start using your brain someday.

@@goblingoovo6508 I'm actually more shock people took the guys who were always meant to be extremely nitpicky as actual genuine critics

nah bruh, it was cheeks

I've seen plenty of terrible films. Thor: Love and Thunder isn't completely terrible, but Elvis summed up my feelings on it pretty succinctly: it's meh. It's enjoyable in parts but overall it's not a fantastic product. I definitely wasn't fond of the dialogue for this film, it felt rushed and out of place for most of the runtime (and the cancer conversation Jane had with Thor was NOT handled well IMO).

It is trash. You just have awful taste.

@@gregoryl.levitre9759 I didn’t ask

the reeeeing would have been deafening

Eat my hammer is the dumbest thing I've heard from a superhero film. It's like Joel Schumacher levels of bad.

to be honest after rewatching thor and... the dark world i realized how the tone for those movies are all over the place (similar to love and thunder) they try to be serious but they put dumb jokes at the same time

@@minish8642 I don't remember those films being that comedic hell I remember how people complained at the time of them being too dour and boring

Thor-Serious and mythological tone. Thor: The Dark World-Generic and deceptive. Thor: Ragnarok-Comedic and strangely weird heroic. Thor: Love And Thunder-All over the place.

I love the first Thor movie it's flawed but it's the only one that gets the Thor character right in my opinion other than his role in infinity war where his probably the most accurate to the comics in my opinion

Thor 1 was a good and enjoyable movie, Thor TDW tried to be better than the original but was generic and fell flat, Thor ragnorok learnt from TDW's mistakes and improved on some aspects, and Thor L and T tried to be better than Ragnorok but just failed. If Disney follows the pattern, Thor 5 will be a good movie.

The movie was trash from the get-go.

@@gregoryl.levitre9759 true…

Ragnarok also doesn't work.

I think thor is allright in L&T. The problem here is just the writing

what was the channel? kinda interested to watch the review because i liked ragnarok but was underwhelmed by love and thunder, even though i went in with no expectations.

@@hazelsingh3887 its cuebel ramble.

@@herdiansyah9982 yeah, the video i'm talking mentioned another reason that i kinda agree with. He said it's also cause of what happened between Ragnarok and L&t. After Ragnarok, we've seen thor in infinity war and endgame where he was actually serious. Yes, he made jokes but it wasn't the type of jokes that made him look like an idiot

Exactly!

Too bad he ignored all of the objective complaints, which is most of the complaints that people have for the trash movie.

I mean he doesn't have to talk about every single thing about every movie and he still pointed out a lot of things that he found bad about the movie while bringing up what he enjoyed so what's the problem? we've heard people talk about the negatives since the movie came out so why not talk about different points? it's all his opinion anyways and if you think it's trash then cool but he just has a different opinion

By that logic, Catwoman is also a perfectly fine movie if you ignore all the flaws. And his opinions thing is innately wrong cuz the ppl saying it's bad are also putting out their own opinions. Turns out majority of the ppl had a bad opinion of it as it has major flaws and so it's widely regarded a bad movie, which it is.

Well, that's only because you are evil and every time you post, god kills a puppy. otherwise people totally tolerate your opinion that is WRONG. YER WRONG. How could you enjoy this you MONSTER? It is people like you who sacked Rome and brought about a thousand years of darkness! How dare you have an opinion that does not perfectly match with mine? I'd tweet about you, except that your friend Elon must took over and is promoting free speech, just like the tyrant he is! I am literally shaking right now!

I mean The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is objectively a messy movie and yet it still has people that like those movies because of certain aspects, a movie can be widely regarded as terrible but still have its fans because saying something has absolutely no redeeming qualities feels dramatic, just like for Love and Thunder people can enjoy it while still acknowledging its flaws (like this video does), I'm only saying that opinions aren't black and white all the time

I think it's because she died in a battle with cancer. Or maybe Thor just lied to Sif because he didn't want her to die.

@judeconnor-macintyre9874 that'd make sense

Nobody should trust a drunk man's opinion

@@chaserseven2886 ironically the only way the movie can be seen as anything other than atrocious is through consuming copious amounts of liquor

> critical drinker yeah no

Isn’t that the guy who blames everything on wokeness?

@@_viken no

@lordvageta sayain that still meansn enjoyable to be fair

It's like with the Bay Transformers movies. They're pretty goofy but I still enjoy them lol

@lordvageta sayain other words "Don't ask questions, just consume products" aka accept mediocrity cuz you'll like it anyway....

@lordvageta sayain I mean its a movie…it’s supposed to be enjoyed. If you criticise everything intensely like you’re getting paid to do it then that’s kind of on you
