Love and Thunder. The humour felt misplaced.
It just felt like they were trying too hard in every scene. Ragnarok was great, one of the top Marvel movies, but the humor in that was unexpected, it hadn’t really been done like that before with Thor. We were used to this almost Shakespearian Thor, so it was a breath of fresh air. They needed to tone it down some more, maybe actually make it a bit more serious in L&T. They could’ve used it to question religion in general or something even.
Also, Thor getting chained up and stripped down naked was apparently fine for a Disney movie, but when I do it at the theme park I’m a “sex offender” and “exposing myself to minors”, what the fuck Disney?!
It's got Taika Waititi's fingerprints all over it. The same way that the Whedon era has his particular style of dialogue and joke setup, Taika has a similar style that's very recognisable and overdone.
Also the God Butcher was an amazing arc. They wasted Gorr entirely.
They wasted Christian Bale. What a compelling villain he could've been if they had actually written a good story
He did do a great job with what they gave him. He's the only reason the film is bearable, and would have loved to see a more serious and earnest take on that movie.
