i didnt really like the way Zeus is portrayed but I guess thats the directors take.

Interestingly a cut scene shows Zeus helping Thor and being a bit more like the wise King of the Gods in the comics. It seems that they changed their mind about Zeus's role

I too was unhappy with how they did Zeus in this movie. I didn't expect much, as he's not the focus, but the forced humor and overall incompetence of the character just made no sense. Also, I didnt appreciate the dismissal of the Warriors Three. And the point of Sif losing her arm, to be just another background/cameo character, and then never building on that, is just disrespectful.

A serious, dramatic Thor is what I was hoping for. Clearly thats not what the MCU wants here. While Hemsworth certainly looks the part, the light, almost silly tone, is a miss for me. I did enjoy getting at least a glimpse of Thor in his classic outfit.

Groot and Starlord should not have been included in the wave but I don't blame Hasbro for that as the advertising marketed them as having a bigger role.

They shouldn't have been included anyways. Given they would be getting new figures and probably new looks next year. They could have easily given us some Thor comic figures or done some other MCU Thor characters.

Just watch.good film but very rushed imo.

Are we to assume that character is a certain living galaxy from a-force?

... way I keep getting worried about the direction the MCU is going in, with Moon knight, Ms Marvel and now this....

I completely agree with everything except moonknight I really enjoyed moonknight except for the fact that he needs to be rated r to show him whooping fools. But yeah the last few marvel movies in phase 4 have been so bad or just decent (really only liked doctor strange). Idk there rushing to many ip's at once and running so many projects that there all becoming mediocre. Like there trying to overhaul so much down consumers throats that there not creating quality entertainment. I think they need to relax, ik there not cuz the money is going to come regardless. Man...the last few have been bad. But (to me atleast) Disney plus has created some bangers, so it's just merky waters for the MCU right now. We will see what happens with black panther 2.

Yeah just watched it was pretty bad. Felt so confused watching it. No smooth transitions felt like it was jumping scenes definitely rushed in all aspects. The cgi was so bad in some parts and amazing in others. The power dampened all the gods. Gorr was so damn disappointed rushed his orgin/build up, could have done so much better. Did not care for some of the performances not blaming the actors cuz when watching the emotional scenes I felt no type of way. I will say I enjoyed laughing at how bad the movie was when I left tho. So that was a bonus.

Yeah Saw Love & Thunder Today, I gotta say it's starting to feel like the MCU is getting very lost, this movie felt rushed, it had heart but it all felt so disposable, wasn't really moved by the romance or the emotional aspects, it felt hollow, the movie felt so empty in a way, sure it looked beautiful, had funnies and had some very good action scenes (emphasis on some), but characters (not saying who or what) felt disposable and there was no attachment, because it all felt so quick paced, The deviation from the source material was really jarring and all in all, I kinda didn't like this movie, It felt like it had a direction that was very quickly lost, I left the theatre saying...but why? huh? I don't care. This movie felt like it was missing a lot, it was fairly short for an MCU film maybe like 1hr 45 minutes.

Either way I keep getting worried about the direction the MCU is going in, with Moon knight, Ms Marvel and now this....

Saw this last Thursday. Hemsworth clearly is enjoying himself and Portman is a lot of fun too. A little surprised by the heavy tone of certain parts ( when you see it you will know what I mean) but overall another fun Thor movie.

i didnt really like the way Zeus is portrayed but I guess thats the directors take.

Gorr is one note but thats been the story for most of Thors movie villains. This is my first exposure to Gorr so had no expectations. Not that Bale does a bad job, he is actually quite great as usual, just motivations etc.. never really took him as a threat to Thor. Either one.

This did drift past light-hearted into downright goofy way more so than Ragnarok did but again, as long as Hemsworth is having fun and wants to continue being Thor Ill take it. He has always impressed me how he takes a serious ( my opinion from his comic stories) character like Thor and is able to bring comedy, drama, ass kicking to make one of the best all around characters in the MCU.
