  • It turns out that sacrificing plot, character and common sense for the sake of a laugh doesn't always bring great results, as Taika Waititi discovered this week when his latest movie tumbled 68% at the box office.

    Not only Thor, but the whole of Asgard was dumbed down and turned into a parody of its former self. Remembering back to the original Thor movie, it was amazing to listen to the opening narration with Anthony Hopkins and see the camera pan up from below the ocean and hear about "The Realm Immortal." The music swelled, the landscape were gorgeous, breathtaking. I wanted to GO THERE and explore the majestic seas, walk on the Bifrost, explore the caverns below the surface, visit Odin's treasure chamber, feast with the heroes, tell stores of great deeds, etc.
    .
    Now Asgard is a tourist trap on planet Earth in Norway. "Asgard is it's people" says Thor at the end of Ragnarok. Yeah, and the people have become discount Disneyland, so "New Asgard" is likewise a joke. Ho hum. Nothing to see here, really. They no longer are worthy of their power and immortality. Sort of like the dying days of Rome when all the emperors were corrupt and the barbarians were taking over.

    Razorfist is absolutely spot on. Every interview for 5 years since Ragnarok every Hemsworth and Waititi interview has been about 'reinvention' and 'doing something different with the character' and 'never growing bored with him' and 'Taika has the mind of a 7 year old'. Sadly, since Hemsworth was rightly disappointed in his performance in Dark World, that meant he now greenlights (as much as he can) every single Waititi childish humour based fever dream concept. And that worked near perfectly for me on Ragnarok because you can tell the MCU, back when it was on form, reigned Waititi's goofy, cringe humour in. But now? You can absolutely tell they do what they think is best for them, never what they think is best for the character right now, which in my opinion, should have been becoming King in the Endgame instead of Valkryie the enslaver, let alone running off to goof around with the Guardians and then spending a second movie's ending in further character limbo, again running off to goof around, this time with...Gorr's daughter of all people, and now having regressed back to the God of Hammers?

    The problem is Taki's ego has quite clearly grown in relation to his success. When he was making What We Did In The Shadows, he seemed like a quite down-to-Earth guy with a sick sense of humour. The more interviews he's done since 'getting big', the more up himself he appears at every turn, and once you hit that 'I am a God' thought-zone in your own head, you stop questioning any of your choices, can't self-edit, and churn out crap.

      The day MCU introduced Thor in 2011 from Movie 1 he was already 1500 years old, so his God Psychi is already being challenged with knowledge power and wisdom, i could understand Thor Behaviour changing when he met Bruce HULK who is a force that even MCU don't understand. So Thor thor seeing a character that actually has a chance go defeat him or kill him kinda changes the serious thor mood and attitude as we saw in avengers or RAGNAROK which was good movie, i think Waititi got lucky he made that movie the way he did. I always ALWAYS understood how character changes in their lifetime. But Thor change is slow and tedious for humans to understand so when hes around mortals he should mostly be serious not goofy Joker no matter what. Why cant they get it right. At current juncture Thor has acknowledged Hulk and Thanos and other new edition so he should be more wisdomful and not a clown. Do the makers understand the character is God of Vikings. Real history. Too bad they are busy buffing Cap Marvel shitty Whaman who is nothing litrally nothing in comics a joke mostly.

They both leaned into the wrong things with their sequels and didn't place enough emphasis on the screenplay. Patty's sequel, as flawed as it may be, is at least sincere in it's treatment of its characters and more consistent in how it expects the viewer to emotionally engage with the story.

    Characters evolve and change over time, especially ones that get shuttled between different writers, and that's fine. But when a creator has too much ego on the line to even be able to see past it to what came before, you have a problem. Why use a "legacy" character if you're going to ignore most of the legacy? (I mean, yes, there are crass and cynical reasons, but they're awfully hard to defend if you say them out loud.)

How terrible the stories have been seems to back this but its still surprising. Disney must literally just hand a rubric grade school style to the "director" that dictates, "here are the political points you're movie must hit" then just sends them on their way with the Disney credit card.

      I was reading about the development of the Strange 2 script, and it really is amazing how little quality control there was. The first draft assignment was given to a young woman (Jade Halley Bartlett (sp?)) whose only claim to Hollywood fame was that she wrote a script that was on a yearly list of best unfilmed scripts. The job of rewriting the script was then given to Michael Waldron, who at least was Loki's showrunner, but he had very little writing experience before that. He was mainly known for Rick and Morty and had done no films at all. Considering MoM was kind of a "WandaVision" sequel, I don't know why they didn't bring in anyone from that beyond just a consult.

They wanted to hire only women crew, only women writers and directors, and on and on and on, but they very quickly discovered that there just wasn't enough women who wanted to be the 'grip' and hold heavy stuff all day. They handed the script to woman writer after woman writer and after going through something like five different writers they finally gave up and handed it to a man. And the same thing happened with their director when it was clear that she had no idea what she was doing so they got her husband to pitch in. It turns out that hiring based on ideology does very little for actually accomplishing work.

    I like to use Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. It's a fish out of water story that also completes the Death, Rebirth, and Return of Spock. The comedy sprung from the situations. They tried to add comedy to Star Trek V and it was pretty much slapstick crap because it didn't suit the film. It's like if someone watched The Trouble With Tribbles and decided the rest of the series should be that. There's room for humor and silliness, but sometimes you have to get down to business. Also, there's a difference between putting your characters in humorous and unfamiliar situations and having them act like an idiot. Sure, Thor can hang out with the Guardians and be silly, but once he hears about the threat he should immediately be in warrior god mode.

    Rightly so, because people are beginning to wake up to the MCU'S general decline in quality ( with a few happy exceptions), and aren't just blindly tossing $$$ at a shared universe now there's no longer any overarching plot. Which was inevitable since a changing of the guard and some new setup was always gonna happen, but it left the MCU in a place where they needed to put quality over quantity. Inbetween D+ and their increasingly woke writing, that's not panning out very well. Thor 4 in particular had SO MUCH going for it but fell short so drastically not many people are up for it.

But the people who took the franchise were mostly people he had handpicked, and they were people who wanted to retain as much of Roddenberry's vision as they could. As a result we got about a dozen more years of good Trek. Then when that all wrapped up, the owners of the property put it into the clumsy paws of JJ Abrams, and we got nothing but crap ever since. Similar story with Star Wars, except that Kathleen Kennedy was handpicked by George Lucas ... but had zero interest in preserving George's vision. George gave them treatments for three new films and was profoundly disappointed in Kathleen that she ignored them entirely. But like I said, some fanfic is good. Rogue One was good, in my opinion. And I'm not saying that sometimes, someone doesn't come along and completely revitalize the idea and make it their own. I think that happened with Spider Man, Batman and a few others. But that's rare, and it takes a real master to do it. People writing for these old properties are many things, but masters they aren't.

    Thor is my favorite Avenger, but ever since Endgame, they’ve been just destroying Thor, making him a whiny little bitch of a superhero and demigod.
    Fat Thor was funny for about a minute and should have been a one scene joke at best. Once Thor heard they may be able to reverse the snap, he should have just called down thunder and had his muscles back. If he could call lightning that could change him into his armor and even braid his beard, I think it could fix his fat physique too.
    I’m sorry, but I always think of most super heroes being strong magically, not because they watch their diet and exercise at the gym daily. Loki was able to toss Cap around like a rag doll, is that because Loki worked out more than Cap? Bullshit, even Cap got his strength from a serum, not the gym.
    They made Thor pitiful in Endgame. Always whining and crying to his mother while Rocket had to finish the mission without him. Again, I call bullshit. Thor wanted to redeem himself after allowing Thanos to snap while he reveled in torturing him with Stormbreaker.
    There was a lesson for Thor there, not to play with his enemy, but finish the job and get it done quickly, but Thor learned nothing and has become a bigger and bigger bumbling fool. He is a demigod who has been alive for over 1,500 years, why would he be an idiot?
    If anyone with a good IQ could live that long, they’d be the most wise and intelligent person alive. Instead, Thor has to become a moron so Tony could get his Big Lebowski joke in. Tony is a genius who went to MIT, but even that should not compare to a brain that has been around over a millennium and seen all of the things Thor has seen, plus given the wisdom of Oden, who had been alive far longer.
    Thor should have made the snap to return everyone. The guy had survived the explosion of the Statesman and floating in deep space for some time without a space suit. Then he survived the power of a neutron star when he had to open the iris for the forge. Anyone who could survive all that is basically indestructible and could have survived the snap.
    Even if he died doing it, that would at least be a befitting and honorable end for the character. A lot better than the end that Steve got. Steve decided to become a coward and selfish for the first time in his life and let the world go to hell while Twinkle Toes Rogers dances with Peggy. Mowing the lawn around his picket fence and playing fetch with his dogs while Loki captures NY and his best friend Bucky is tortured and made into a killing machine.
    While Bucky is using his super serum powers to execute people, Twinkle Toes Rogers now uses his super soldier endurance to win dance marathons. That’s my new name for Cap. He is no longer Captain America because he sold out and was no longer the same little guy willing to leap on the grenade.
    Twinkle Toes Rogers will not crash the airplane, but rather land it and the bomb nearest the closet dancing academy. So, Tinkle Toes Rogers becomes the guy unwilling to lay down on the wire, like he accused Tony, while Tony went out a boss! Tony prove time and time again that Twinkle Toes was wrong. He took the atomic weapon into the portal in space, not knowing if he’d ever return.
    Tony also helped trigger the explosive in the piece of Sakovia that was hurdling towards earth, not knowing if he’d survive. They completely trashed Cap’s character making him a selfish loser, unwilling to make the sacrifice. Steve was chosen for the program because he was the guy who covered the grenade, willing to sacrifice himself for others.
    It wasn’t even in Steve’s being to become a selfish Twinkle Toes Rogers like they made him. That’s what makes a hero. The willingness to make sacrifices. Even 16 year old Peter Parker was willing to make the sacrifice at the end of “No Way Home” and chose not to tell Ned and MJ his identities because it would put them in danger constantly.
    We know he probably will at some time, but we’re left to believe that Steve continued to make the selfish choice until he was Joe Biden. That’s why he had nothing more to say to Falcon, because he lived a boring life, with a boring repetitive job, cutting grass and mending the fence. What was there to add? Besides he have to admit to Falcon he was a coward, never taking any chance of messing up his boring life, narrowly beating out Donald Trump for the 2020 elections.
    Most of us live boring lives, that’s why we need superheroes. They’re what we want to be, not what we really are. Making Steve like the rest of us takes him out of the superhero category.
    There is no explanation for how Joe Biden Steve ended up on the main timeline. We were told that any change creates a new timeline in Loki and that Kang and the TVA would have that timeline pruned. How did Steve grow to be Biden in the same timeline? His a absence in every battle he had fought would have certainly changed history a lot, but everything was the same?
    Don’t tell me he came from a different timeline. How? He had no time machine, nor Pym particles to make such a trip, just to give Falcon the shield. They only wrote that stupid ending so all of the saps should go, “awwwwww.. Steve finally got the dance with Peggy.” Not realizing what that does to his character, besides being impossible for him to be there at that time, impersonating Joe Biden.
    This is how screwed up the writing has become. So far, only Black Widow, Tony Stark and Quicksilver have had a hero’s death. Steve and Thor have been disgraces, especially Thor. Thor is not the bumbling sidekick, even in his own movie, who is now the butt-end of every joke, even the joke showing his butt-end. This is how bad the writing is and just how terribly they’ve ruined classic characters.
    We know it’s all about virtue signaling and WOKE politics, making all of the men idiots so the women look that much smarter. It’s just gotten too old now. Thankfully, Tony got out before his character got trashed and Pepper began slapping him around all of the time like some Walter Mitty.

The fans have no problem to wait for content if its good. Plus shows like the boys seem to have learned from the pitfalls that other franchises have fallen to, by forcing "the message" down our throats and pushing the strong female character. Audiences have no problem with female characters, they have a problem with being told all women are strong and all men are weak and evil. The female characters in the boys know this, they dont subjigate the male characters and therefore the audience. These shows and movies willl just keep failing again and again until they realize to stop putting down the very audience that buys their product.

    Ragnarok for me its the same as Love and Thunder, since when would Thor throw a fn ball against a mirror and it hits him and he falls

    Thor Love and Thunder is just the same as recent Marvel movies: wasted potential. Some really good ideas but really poor execution. In TLaT has some great things to work with. Gorr has decent motivation for a Marvel villian. He looked like a real threat but instead of showing us Gorr annihilating the Gods, they spend time on Thor and The Guarfian goofing around which wouldn't have been necessary had they not put that part in Endgame. They have a place where all Gods live, that could have been a big attack from Gorr, but no we have to do a kid joke and the trailer bait scene. The relationship between Jane Foster and Thor should be a focal point to shows that God can care, a point that oppose the villian's view. But no we need to jump from fight scene to joke then fight scene. Not to mention they start the film 3 times by jumping everywhere. That stuff kill the movie spacing.

His style seems more in line with the Three Stooges than a Marvel property. I think it is time for Marvel to go to a used bookstore buy a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary printed before 1980 and re-examine the definition of the word Hero.
