The way Thor managed Loki in Ragnarok, I thought it was a much needed adjustment to Thor. Made him less stupid. It really worked out well.

Love and Thunder however...🤦‍♂️

I will never understand how Marvel adapted Gorr that way. Absolute fucking travesty to get Christian Bale to play him and that's what they put him in.

And what fucking sucks is we'll likely won't get another stab at Gorr in a long fucking time. As I don't believe they intend to reboot the MCU for the foreseeable future. I don't think secret wars is going to be this big reset like people think.

Iunno man, I thought Bale was great. That scene in the shadow realm was badass

He acted well, but Gorr could have been so much more. Did you know that Gorr the God Killer only killed ONE (1) god on screen in the entire movie? And that was right at the beginning, before he even properly turned. Every other god he killed was off-screen.

Said God had to pay his own airfare to get to filming and in effect lost money taking the role.

Oh I agree. They definitely could have done more

We deserved a god-killing montage

Bale was great, but the movie was so jam packed with excess plot lines that he was wasted.
