uuuwhaahahahahahwwhhh‼️‼️‼️ thor whispering "always protect jane" to mjolnir has been one of the greatest professions of love in the entire mcu!! in a drunken, sleepy stupor on a random, normal weeknight-in he enchanted a mighty weapon that measures your "worthiness" with only a heartfelt thought spoken aloud. it's not about intention but the WEIGHT and sincerity of his feelings. mjolnir "indestructible" and all-powerful and fickle and broken, but it listened and gave jane a chance to fight. to fight for her love, their love, her life,,, in her own way! his words reached her and saved her to save him to help her really save him all while fighting to make herself proud, and woowwww loving is worth it guys 🥺
I need a whole limited Disney plus series about thor and love going to different planets and beating up evil aliens…every week a new adventure with little to no overarching plot just them kicking ass and taking names. That’s the Disney plus show I wanna see: father and daughter, love and thunder traveling space together.
I saw Thor 4 and that was fun. It's pretty and fast and very Taika Waititi. It's also a very family movie - bordering on being more targeted to kids than grown-up even with that Thor scene. I mean the whole ending especially - and all the actors kids were there.
It's sometimes more concentrated on jokes than the plot but one the jokes land - the whole cinema was bursting in laughter where I was (especially Zeus parts) - and two - it always manages to concentrate back on the main plot emotional stakes (and upping them progressively). My main complaint is that it felt too short. The Guardians are there only at the very beginning and there was not enough Sif or Valkyrie. And I really, really wished they gave the moments between Thor and Jane breathe more.
Still , the story of Gorr was well shown and Christina Bale is amazing in the role - both the scary and the heartbreaking parts. Jane's choices are well laid out - both the fact that she enjoys being the hero and the cost of doing the right thing. And Thor finally peeling of the persona to show what he really feels. Because of the short time it still felt like the Avengers movies did more to show how deeply damaging his grief was and the jokes still hide the real scars but they let us under the himbo mask at moments and I appreciated that.
I liked the thread of connecting colours and emotions - from the god robes to the way Gorr's realm leeches them out. It's the saying about loss and despair leeching the colour from life shown literally and the real story is about trying to find a way out of that that isn't just anger and shutting off emotionally.
The rest is SPOILERS
I just wish it didn't end with more grief. With Jane gone the movies really killed of everyone Thor loved. And I loved the ending with Love and Thunder, loved, loved every single moment of it - from pancakes to the final jump - but if they are not let him and Loki reunite I will have to quit these movies. It's just too sad. I mean even Valkyrie's main character moments were about how she lost everyone too - from her girlfriend to all her sisters.
At least we got to see Jane going to Valhalla and meeting Heimdall there. Another intersectional planes of untethered consciousness. Let's hope that like in comics they can come back from there.
But Daryl has a job in New Asgard and Sif lived so I'll take that for now.
Thor: *looks like he woke up from a trash pile like some stray dog*
It’s seeing concept art like this that absolutely makes me hate the Waititi Thor films. You have grandness and regality and Saga-like character imagery and then you have.... crap. Loki and Sif look like they’re characters from an entirely different fucking film. Up there all Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars OT, and Thor just looks like he walked out of the extras set on Disney’s I’ll Be Home for Christmas.
