Exactly. Ragnarok worked because the serious moments and the comedic ones had room to breathe, like you see the more comical aspects but those are mostly a veneer for the darker story.

Funny you mention that, because I've always felt that, given the example Infinity War set, the fourth Thor film could've ended in a cliffhanger, with Love & Thunder being the fifth film. Gorr could've been a Thanos-level villain (specifically for Gods), and Jane's re-introduction in the fifth film would've given her more glory. Instead, they both got crammed in to one and I think both were underserved.

Thor movies should concentrate more on the vast viking lore and let thor ascend the throne

No. Chris Hemsworth we love you bro. He is such a naturally funny and charismatic person, but that is the key to acting, becoming someone different without effort. He can do that. People love Thor Ragnarok but if you look at it closely, it follows the story beats of the first Thor. That is the Thor we need to get back to. Those are the roots that were lost.

Funny thing is one of the criticisms of the first few phases of the MCU by some was that Feige was too hands on & stifled creativity. Well now we see what Feige letting his directors off the leash leads to 😂 Not in every case but enough cases since Endgame

Love and Thunder wasn't serious enough for the Plot with the Cancer. the idea should have been a knock out.

I love that Chris realize his mistake, i absolutely hated Love and Thunder. You dont do that to Gorr the God Butcher story, still love Hemsworth and cant wait to see his next outing in Thor. But no more Love and Thunder crap.

The process of making a movie is way more impacted by director-producer dynamics than an actor. There is NO WAY that Hemsworth's improv is the main reason for the wimsicle nature of the movie. Its many producers, the director and test audiences that will determine this. We know they watched the movie many times before release and they could do reshoots. Its big of Chris to take the fall for it, but at the same time its total BS.

It was disrespectful how they treated Christian Bale as Gorr. Why does the MCU have to be a joke all of the time I feel like the deadpool movies had more serious moments and drama then the MCU and that just feels wrong.

Russo brothers handled Thor in the best way in Avengers 3. They should direct the next Thor movie

It’s simple, really. The audience followed Thor’s path from the first movie to Ragnarok and the ultimate arc with Endgame. They want to see him progress, not regress, which is what happened in Love & Thunder

You can see in his acting roles that Taika Waititi is the type of actor who does a lot of improv, like in Free Guy (am I right). But ultimately as a director it’s your responsibility to bring your vision to the screen and if the actor is getting carried away with improv then it’s the directors responsibility to rein it in.

Gor a God killer that actually killed one God. What was that all about. Zeus acting like a goof, it was awful.

Thor Love and Thunder suffered from what most comedy sequels suffer from.

Reminds me of what they did to Dr Evil in Austin Powers.

Taika has already said, that he won't do any marvel for now

I think that if they made it that Thor4, was actually Korg's perception of what was going on, it would be fine. In Thor5, if they gave us a more serious take on some of the same events, it could "fix" things. I mean, it was funny. I did laugh a lot. Was it an epic movie? Hell no, but I mean, I laughed my ass off at a lot of it, so I don't know.. I don't think it deserves any hate. That being said, I do hope that Thor 5 gets more serious. Thor from IW was probably my favorite. Powerful af, serious when it was needed and also comedic when needed.

I want a metal thor movie

John Campea clearly doesn’t know what Metal is. What this older guy is describing for a Thor movie would be perfect.

This actually makes me more excited for the next Thor! I know their gonna put thwir best foot forward on this next one.

I’m of two minds about this whole thing, because personally I really enjoyed Love & Thunder, and I feel really bad at the prospect that any actor should be made to feel shame for having fun on a movie set because of fans being volatile about the final product. That said, I feel like if either Hemsworth or Taika reigned the goofiness in juuuuuust a bit, it would’ve done that movie’s reputation wonders.

I think is an interesting contrast to a character like Loki. Both Tom and Chris have been playing these characters for a over a decade. At that point, they should, to a point and writing aside, be custodian of said character. I think Chris dropped the ball in that department. He allowed Thor to be turned into a punching bag for jokes and improv. Tom, got a chance to not only do something completely different with Loki, but still expand, grow and stay true to the character, even suggesting the last line, that was a direct reference to the first Thor film. I think there are quite a few actors in the MCU, that need to protect their characters, because if what happened to Thor and Captain Marvel is what is waiting for us, then maybe is time to move on.

It wasn't a horrible movie, but yeah a little too silly for Thor. It needed some better editing and much more Gorr. Bob Chapek ruined that movie. I want to see the Taika cut. However, after all Thor went through and all the loss, I could see him wanting to be more zen and wanting to laugh and be silly. It's like a therapeutic coping mechanism for him. But yes, bring back strong BA Thor with some metal! 🤘🏻

I remember those comments Hemsworth made as well. But also, I believe that while Waititi directed Ragnarok, someone else wrote the screenplay. I think Waititi himself wrote the screenplay for Love & Thunder, which probably means no one wrote it.

Continuity wise, I’m glad Love and Thunder is framed as the version of the story that Korg is telling to children, as if he’s keeping it silly while he talks about gods dying of Cancer.

This is what happens when you work with your friends. Sometimes people get caught up with having fun and a good time with their mates and the quality of their work suffers.

*YES!* Thor 1 is beautiful! The perfect amount of simple yet effective classy comedy and seriousness and tragedy. Chris got tired of the role and wanted to change it up which is fair enough and called someone he liked to make some changes (I personally love Thor 1,2, Avengers, Ultron and Infinity War Thor) but he prefers the Ragnarok Thor which is fine and he thought he had a thing working with Taika there which is well and good but the stupidity was pushed too far.

The next thor movie need to be like a mix between the dark world & ragnarok.

Before he indirectly blamed Director WhatATittie. But the fault is with the director and editor ... they make the calls. Hemsworth is not making the calls as directors. The improv and wackiness can easily go to the cutting room floor. They can do reshoots etc. Seriously ... what did Hemsworth have to do with Zeus prancing down some stairs like a ballerina ... totally not on him. Director can and needs to course correct any issues.

had my issues with ragnarock esp for a story with such serious consequences in the comics to play it they way they did it I thought was a huge mistake but I really disliked love and thunder its a movie I have no desire to see again no redeeming value its just dumb for the sake of being dumb....when ppl critque the mcu from the outside this might be case and point along with stuff like aou although that movie was better then this

I've disliked all the Thor films. I want a Thor film in the vein of the Green Knight and the Northman. Make it R-rated, serious, dark, with some philsophy.

We need Thor 5 and honestly hope that’s not the last Thor film you have to finish his second trilogy and give us the most powerful version of thor.

Sure it made $700 million, And that’s all that matters, that’s reason enough to make a number five no Matter how bad it is

See it’s an interesting ordeal for me. I loved that the Jane Foster Thor storyline got adapted so Love and Thunder gets points for me for that. But aside from that I initially liked the film but as I watched it again I saw the movie was bad no matter how much I liked Thor and Jane foster Thor together.

Agree. It's so bad and ridiculous how it's silly how a hero movie shows that anything goes when it comes to comedy, but it's not. A little humor but he's trying to be a comedian. Will never watch it again.

Chris Hemsworth was also an executive producer on Thor Love and Thunder and I respect that he takes/shares the blame Love and Thunder had some good points tho, they just needed to tone down the silly humor and have better dialogue and CGI

Why is it okay for Chris Hemsworth to criticize Thor: Love and Thunder but not Shia Labeouf to criticize Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

I think they were just having a great time making the film without checking the quality and content as much. I can see how it can happen.

I say Marvel Studios will do one more Thor film, as a "make up" for Love And Thunder. Hemsworth takes a lot of pride in the series, and he doesn't want L&T to be how Thor goes out.

I also knew that continuity and having a good story wouldn't matter whatsoever.

First of all, MCU Thor was never anywhere close to the comic-book Thor. Comic-book Thor is serious in an interesting way, where he makes big speeches, uses sophisticated verbiage and shows variety of emotions, from anger to sorrow. Second of all, Thor wasn't serious in that movie. He made jokes all the time. The difference is that, unlike in Taika's nonsense, he knew when to start taking things seriously. And lastly, Love and Thunder is legit one of the worst mainstream movies ever made, so you Taika stans can no longer use TDW as your whataboutism for why serious Thor doesn't work.

I don't think the problem with love and thunder was necessarily that it was too goofy.. but that the jokes ABC humor was so rehashed from ragnarok. The humor was new and refreshing in ragnarok, but it felt like nothing in l&t was new

Well Hemsworth didn’t come up with Bao, God of Dumplings, at least not as far as i know. Nor did he give Russel Crow’s beyond silly performance…so plenty of blame to go around 😅 Still, not a terrible film, pretty entertaining overall.

Woah I love Rob's Beta Ray Bill shirt, who do I give money to for one

100% agree with Robert about it should be more HEAVYYYY! (not glam)

I think overall the comedy still works. Just tone down like 3 or 4 jokes/moments and lean into the horror and emotional more. A better balance. But not everything has to be the same. Not everything has to be Guardians. Than we would have never gotten GOTG. You can't be afraid to try new things. You can either try to follow trends or become the trend.

Sorry for being out topic, just wanted to say Dominique Jackson as Storm? :)

John, if people didn't want heavy metal Thor, Amon Amarth wouldn't be selling arenas and recieving millions of views on their music videos.

The fact that Hemsworth took responsibility instead of pointing the finger at someone else like most people will is mad respectable. But I do still mostly blame taika waititi since he is the director after all and I was just never a fan of him to begin with. I never liked Ragnarok as much as everyone else did.

Script didn't help him at all

Love the comments. "Person thinks they're at fault for something" "Person takes blame for thing" "Humanity praises him for doing what everyone should always be doing.". I'm not hating on Chris, I just think we should stop putting celebs on pedestals for saying or doing something we all do. I enjoyed all of his films, (Ghostbusters 2016 never existed) hilarious, caring and great actor. But c'mon, it obviously wasn't his fault. He just feels bad in hindsight for not being more serious in the role and wants to amend for it, there is no downside for him taking any blame because there is no penalty for it and he clearly wants to amend it. So instead of praising him, make him amend it....by making another Thor movie that can rival Winter Soldier, Infinity War & Endgame.

I actually dont think much difference in tone *does* work in a cinematic universe. The Netflix marvel shows were better than they get credit for but even Iron Fist which was poorly put together had the sense of real evil in the villains, jeopardy for the main character etc and the jokes were BY the characters, the characters weren't themselves the jokes. I think stuff like peacemaker actually does cheapen the seriousness of connected movies. Guardians of the galaxy is similar situation but at least their setting is really different

Russell Crowe was trash in Thor.

If it's true that they did go back and look at the footage and they weren't happy with it, that must mean that they did a lot of improving, that wasn't funny because there was a 4-Hour cut of this movie and only got shortened an hour and 57 minutes if I'm not mistaken

With due respect, I don’t buy it. I understand that Chris may have power over Thor’s character, but when everyone else is acting just as silly in the movie: Jane, Valkyrie, Korg, Zeus… then it’s clearly a directorial choice
