Everything GREAT About Thor: Love and Thunder!

[Chaos]

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.

[Fatima-mzzu]

I don't know if someone has already pointed this out but, the "adopt the kid of your enemy" parallel between Gorr's daughter and Loki? With Thor being a caring father to Love, like the one both him and Loki wished for? A father that would support them and see them as it's own instead of a random child they have to keep?

[DamascusVT]

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.

I like how right after Jane dies, Thor just has a moment of heartbreaking silence, without actually breaking down, almost as if he's somewhat numb to the pain at this point, I felt really bad for him.

Fun fact: the gold spray at 11:47 is actually accurate to mythos. In Greek mythology immortal beings bleed Ichor, which is described as liquid gold

Just wish the Necro Sword was more emphasized, it seems like the whole movie was like "oh no its a terrible, terrible weapon" and then they kinda forgot about it

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

I've lost more then one relative to cancer, including one to stage 4. The idea that battling cancer is worthy of Valhalla is a whole bunch of emotions.

"I like it. It wasn't executed perfectly, but it still moves me."
couldn't have said it better

[slartimus]

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."

[DemiSemme]

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.

Interesting detail I realized about Mjolnir's display watching this movie again: they dug out the whole area of ground around it to build the amphitheater since nobody could lift it. The rocks and background behind everything are at the same height of Mjolnir.

[TheCrazyPlayer]

The golden blood isn’t just about getting around censors; in Greek myth, the gods’ immortality came from them not having blood but Ichor, which is often interpreted as being gold in color. (There was also a thing about Ambrosia, but that’s not relevant here.) This also helps explain who Zeus survives. I appreciated the nod to historical myth when I saw it.

[nigelbagguley]

Does anyone else feel like inside a Taika Waitiki wacky Thor adventure, there was a powerful, emotional Gorr film trying to escape?

[wesleyoldham]

2:26
That whole sequence is still Korg telling people "how it happened."
Standing up tall and dramatically saying "This ends now" while the enemy can't seem to hit such a clear target, dramatically tossing away his robe and summoning Stormbreaker, stopping two ships with a split kick, and saying "What a classic Thor adventure."
It's all done like a stage play or a cartoon because Korg is embellishing it for dramatic/comedic flair.

[DarkFalconTBA]

As always, your videos talk about movies honestly and beautifully. You criticize with respect for the material, while also looking for things to enjoy. Watching your videos is always refreshing.

[losisdad]

as I've grown out of the silliness of cinemasins, I've started loving this channel so much. really makes me able to appreciate movies, even when I wasn't too fond of them when I watched them

[LunaBroadwayVT]

Something I noticed during the Thor Babies power up sequence, as the lightning courses through all of them when they're lined up, it looks like Yggdrasil or at the very least *a* tree. Not sure if it was intentional but I pointed it out to my husband and it made the whole battle sequence that much cooler to me.

[neophenom]

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.
