LOVE AND THUNDER — GeekTyrant

May 6, 2024


Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder ended up being a disappointing film for a lot of fans. After the greatness of Thor: Ragnarok we were all expecting something great, but director Taika Waititi ended up dropping the ball.The movie ended up being way too silly with poor storytelling and character development. Chris Hemsworth recently addressed the movie’s issues, and in the end, he feels the film left him feeling like a parody of himself.While speaking to Vanity Fair, Hemsworth shared his take on the film and the criticisms of it saying: “I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself.”He went on to say: “I didn’t stick the landing.” Sometimes when you’re in the moment and having fun, you don’t see what’s really going on around you. No one was on the set was keeping things on track.When reflecting on his time as Thor, Hemsworth admitted that he’d grown frustrated with playing the character before Thor: Ragnarok.He explained: “Sometimes I felt like a security guard for the team. I would read everyone else’s lines, and go, Oh, they got way cooler stuff. They’re having more fun. What’s my character doing?”He added: “It was always about, ‘You’ve got the wig on. You’ve got the muscles. You’ve got the costume. Where’s the lighting?’ Yeah, I’m part of this big thing, but I’m probably pretty replaceable.”Robert Downey Jr. didn’t agree with Hemsworth and said: “First off, Thor as a character was super tricky to adapt – lots of implied limitations – but he and Ken Branagh figured out how to transcend, make him somehow relatable but godlike.”He continued: “Hemsworth is, in my opinion, the most complex psyche out of all us Avengers. He’s got wit and gravitas, but also such restraint, fire, and gentleness.”Hemsworth previously opened up about the reception of the movie, saying that even his children’s friends criticized the movie to his face.He said: “It’s a bunch of eight-year-olds critiquing my film. We thought this one had too much humor, the action was cool but the VFX weren’t as good.’ I cringe and laugh equally at it.”He explained: “I think we just had too much fun. It just became too silly. It’s always hard being in the center of it and having any real perspective… I love the process, it’s always a ride. But you just don’t know how people are going to respond.”Waititi previously acknowledged that it was “very difficult” to find the right tone for the film juggling the drama and comedy.He also addressed those who criticized the movie, saying: “Some audiences really wanted it to be just like the comics. But, you know, I always say, if you want it to be exactly like the comics read the comic. You’ve got to change things here and there to make it a film.”I think it’s a little bit more than that because you’ve also now got Hemsworth criticizing the movie as well. It was about the storytelling and filmmaking quality, not because it wasn’t like the comics.
