You know what... this movie is not that bad as some make it out to be. I don't think its the humor that ruins it. I think it just feels disjointed with all the other MCU movies and the editing as well. By disjointed I mean, okay, if you are making a Valhallen movie, this would be good. Problem is, Valhallen is a Thor parody, yet it is in the same universe as in the more grounded "political thrillers" like Captain America or Iron Man. Its only goofy when you compare it with those, and I totally get it. But yeah, MCU is really getting to a point where they are TRULY exploring other genres. Yet, we are suppose to accept they are all in the same universe or multiverse? That's not going to win everyone. You can make a romantic comedy within the MCU, doesn't mean I'll give a shit. Anyways Love and Thunder was more like a Rock of All Ages and Wayne's World of superhero movies than an actual MCU movie. So keep that in mind when going into this.

I forgot to explain the editing in this movie. Yeah... you can tell a lot was cut out in this movie. I heard rumors months ago its Bob Chapek's way of doing things and some of the scenes in the trailers are not in the movie. Like, WTF!? So Love and Thunder feels like a movie that, yeah, proper editing could probably make the movie better. Its not an awful movie at all. Something didn't translate well behind the scenes.

But would a directors cut/extended cut really make this movie better? The humor would still be over 110%.

I didn't think the humor was that jokey. Except for the flashback scenes. That was ridiculous. Like, cut that shit out.

Chapek is an idiot. Heard he was booed before he came on stage yesterday.

Yeah Chapek got booed yesterday. Now lets be fair here, Chapek became CEO in a very akward timing (COVID). But at the same time I hear he is not good with working with creators.

Gave this another go last night, it's a real shame that this movie kind of blows. I don't hate it but it is indeed the worst Thor movie. The tone is all over the place, the story they went with is too dark to have so much comedy, and it was clearly hacked up in the edit, and Gorr is barely developed at all (maybe don't cut most of his scenes perhaps?)
At least there's some decent action/visuals, a few funny jokes (most don't land though) and Hemsworth and Bale gave it their all with what little they had. Portman is also better in this than she was in the first 2. Still, a huge disappointment after the excellent Ragnarok.

I still think The Dark World is worse.

Honestly, can't really hate The Dark World since it was the first Live Action/PG-13 film I saw in theaters.
But wasn't a big fan of them suddenly bringing in laser guns and ships, wrecked the setting 2011 had.

There are definitely worse MCU movies than this one, but at the same time there are better ones too.
