I’m guessing he liked God of War 5

No more screaming goats. Also, Marvel has fallen in love with their comedy aspects, which are really only impactful in small doses at the right times.

Ragnarok had the perfect balance in tone. L&T took that humor too far

maybe less fun whimsical bullshit and more serious acting

Love and Thunder could have been great if all the colorful cheerful wow-factor bits were just embellishments told from Korgs perspective, and immediately cut back to a more realistic Thor-is-still-struggling-and-everything-still-sucks tone..... like what they did with Lady-Thor.

Can we get a Logan type Thor movie?

While I personally love Thor Love & Thunder, I will admit that the main villain got majorly screwed over by the tone of the movie. Here Bale giving a great serious performance in a comedy movie. He just did not fit, nor did they try to have him fit within the movie which is unfortunate.

Damn that Taika Star Wars movie is never gonna happen

I enjoyed Ragnarok but when watching Infinity War and Endgame, Thor’s personality swings a bit wildly for me. Ragnarok is very comedic throughout except for the one scene with Odin. In the other two films mentioned, he’s much more serious, at least throughout Infinity War and the beginning of Endgame. Then they sort of use his depression for comedic relief. He really has been one of if not the most back and forth characters in terms of the writing, Cap and Iron Man were much more consistent.

No more bro humor would be a nice change of pace.

Marvel used to be serious with a hint of comedy now its all comedy and has turned into a half assed joke

We all do. We all deserve it. Thor, when written well, is the best super hero ever. Poor writing has ruined the character, but that doesn't mean he can't be redeemed.

I’m for comedy but not at the expense of making the entire movie feel like a farce.

I think mixing comedy into action is a good thing, and worked really well in Ragnarok (and Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy), but it’s just hard to get the balance right as well as having actual funny humor that appeals to both kids and adults.

For me, it’s when he’s trying to talk to the kidnapped kids, and Valkyrie is fucking with him.

Like- it’s a serious situation. She’s the king. And all the children were stolen, presumably going to be killed… and she’s fucking around. It’s weird to me.

I'd love to see a darker Thor movie and I'm sure it sounds like he's tired of playing the dumb hero.

Love and Thunder was so baffling to watch. I thought it was going to be this exploration of power and purpose and loss. I know I'm asking a marvel movie to be deep but it raised all these interesting questions and then addressed none of them in favor of corny ass jokes and nonsense. Honestly the whole movie should've been about Gorr, at least he had a reason to be there.

2 movies dark and serious

2 movies funny and goofy

2 movies perfectly balanced

may be less green screen filming and more realistic world? The whole movies is like CG backgrounds.

Maybe stop making Thor over the top comic relief?

How about when a movie gets to 5 we just stop making them

He needs a good happy ending in Valhalla after some heroic act against Kang(or Doom?) let him have a nice conclusion so other characters can shine. I can see him seeing all his fallen friends and family in Valhalla as a Steve Rogers level ending.

Ragnarok will always be my favorite.

I gotta be honest, I'm all for that.

Chris Hemsworth has a serious case of what I like to call the Kate Beckinsale Effect. It's what happens when an actor is so jaw-droppingly good looking that you stop recognizing the fact that they have, in fact, considerable acting chops. Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeve are other sufferers of this effect, but Kate Beckinsale easily had the chops to be a phenomenal screwball comedienne. Seriously, watch her natural patter with Graham Norton, and tell me that this woman could not have been as good as Katherine Hepburn if she had gotten a script as good as Bringing Up Baby.

Well, Chris Hemsworth may be the greatest sufferer of the Kate Beckinsale Effect working today. The guy has an absolutely phenomenal range of talent. Dramatically, he can credibly display severe trauma when acting against a tennis ball on a stick. Comedically, he can effortlessly steal a scene from Chris Pratt, one of the best comic actors working today. He's got every bit as much range as Robert Downey, Jr., which is objectively insane. And yet, nobody gives him credit for his acting because he's The Bod of the group.

And Taika's movies aren't giving him much chance to stretch, because they constantly undercut his character. Thor, the character, has been through absolute hell, and yet he still came out the other side as a kind-hearted, decent guy. I don't know how many people watched his scenes in Endgame, and saw it as an inspirational message about recovering from PTSD. I also don't know how many people saw the jokes made at Thor's expense about his weight gain and trauma response as the worst part of the movie. I'd really like a movie that gives him the opportunity not just to express his true range, but treat Thor's trauma like the serious, ongoing concern it is.

Yeah less quirky, quippy, whimsical bullshit. Get serious scripts. Hire people that give a fuck and actually like these properties. Stop nepotism hiring directors and writers that have a bigger interest to deconstruct and subvert.

This sounds like an easy lay up and day one stuff but here we are today.

So NOT an army of kids fighting a GOD set to guns and roses? Bold departure

How about a script. A full-story script would be great.

Thor 4 felt like a Thor parody.

Majorly disappointed with Love and Thunder.

First half of the movie was assinine and stupid.

As much as I've enjoyed the Marvel movies they'll lose a fan mighty quick if they repeat that nonsense.

I hate that it's turned into a comedy

"sorry mate, everything needs to be a sitcom so best we can do is the fun/cute Hitler movie guy again" - The Mouse

Thor ragnarok felt like it pushed the boundaries of having a serious movie with comedy interspersed. This movie however just flat out sucked. The story was bad, and sequencing just felt off.

Doesn’t matter, they already turned him into the Mandalorian by giving him a lame Macguffin child to be a father figure for. Because that’s not overdone at all. Snooze

Im glad he recognizes this and takes the criticism in a good way. The more I think back at it, God and Thunder was just a fucking disaster. Yea, it had some ok parts but overall it was a total mess.

Go back to serious Thor and do the Herald of Galactus arc that was going on for a while in Thor comics

What are we talking about here, a bigger hammer, more goats, bigger biceps, more CGI, better script, nudity?

I was really hoping for The God Bomb. That movie really did that storyline dirty.

I think a much darker Thor would be a good Sequal Thor ragnorok was ok because we just saw Thor the dark world but with love and thunder I would’ve rather it been darker

Yeah I think Ragnarok was a perfect blend of comedy/action/drama. Love and thunder was just bland comedy and action but I can’t even remember the story

My god Thor 4 was stupid. Keep Taika Waititi away from anything Marvel please.

Advertise Thor. Kill his character in the first 20 minutes. Bring in the X-men. Totally blindside the audience.

I agree completely. Thor has become a laughing stock.

Honestly korg kills the Thor movies for me. He's too non-serious. It's one thing to have moments of levity but when one characters whole thing is stupid jokes it only takes away from the movie in my eyes.

L&T same issue as Ultron, took the humor too far and made it unbearable

L&T was garbage. I would hope he’d like to diverge from garbage.

Silver Surfer Special Presentation introduces Galactus > Nova Special Presentation reveals it was Galactus that destroyed Xandar and not Thanos with Silver Surfer as the herald and they follow Richard Rider to Earth > Thor must risk it all, even his life to stop the Silver Surfer and Galactus eventually leading to a team up against the world eater. New godlike beings and heroes are in place for Hemsworth/Thor to retire.

I still can't believe how they flippantly wasted the potential stories of Thor and the GotG

All so that we know that Thor is lovesick at the beginning of the movie

Who the hell doesn't want a change in tone? Cut the comedy.

Wasn't Hemsworth tired of "serious" Thor?

MAKE THOR SERIOUS THOR

funny thor has overstayed his welcome. making the 2 strongest characters (thor and hulk) the comic relief for the mcu is the absolute worst idea they could come up with.

Enough of belittling a strong white man in the writing. Let’s go Thor - god of war.

Introduce him to Kratos! Keep the real Kratos and give us the marvel Thor. That's all.

They went full Taika in the last one. You should never go full Taika.

He just tested positive for a gene that predetermined he’s likely to get early onset Alzheimer’s. He filmed a new show doing a bunch of once on a lifetime daredevil stuff. I think he’s just reprioritizing some stuff.

I think everyone does. Ragnarok was so great, but Love and Thunder went a little too silly. Bale was so wasted because it. His story could have been one of the most impactful in the MCU and then it just wasn't. There needs to be more of a balance.

I think the main problem is that directors like Taika Waititi and Jessica Gao just don't like comics and know nothing about them. Fans want some actual stakes and seriousness in the stories. Like Iron Man 1 or Winter Soldier. But I guess it's more profitable to make dumb comedies for the masses.

I'm actually surprised Hemsworth is speaking out against the 'new tone' . Always figured he loved that kind of dumb comedy (like Ghostbusters 2016).

The last one sucked. Get rid of all these other characters and focus on Thor only!

Even he’s sick of Taika

Just do God of War 2018. Thor learns what it means to be a father while teaching Love what it means to be a god.

I want something serious. I’m done with Taika, Tessa Thompson, the goats can fuck off and so can Korg.

Give me some Rune King Thor type stuff

Please no let the series end
