Audiences apparently hate "Thor: Love and Thunder" for being too childish
The latest 'Thor' movie crushed it at the box office this weekend - but as far as what people actually think... well, it seems like much of the internet thought it was trash.
The numbers are in, and by the estimates..."Thor: Love and Thunder" grossed $143 million domestically, becoming one of the MCU's highest-grossing openings. All is well for Disney, we're sure, but the general reactions to the movie aren't good.
For starters, critics gave it a relatively low score - just 68% on RT - which is a drastic drop from other Marvel movies, historically...most have held up much better over the years under a professional review, but that's not the case with 'L&T.'
Not only were the pros unimpressed...it looks like "Film Twitter", so to speak, also found the film to be absurdly bad - especially compared to other "Thor" entries. Sooo, what is their beef exactly??? It's not hard to tell...people seem to have found it juvenile.
Scroll through some of the "Thor" trends and you'll see - it's either people shitting on the movie, or a bunch of others piling on those same people while trying to defend "Love and Thunder" , with their argument being...it's a creepy comedy, turn off your brain and enjoy!
That may be true, but it seems a good majority aren't thrilled with the direction 'Thor' is heading under the watch of Taika Waititi - who helmed the beloved final episode, 'Ragnarok ", and who apparently did more of the same in this new one...maybe too much.
Many say 'Love and Thunder' relies too much on gags and punchlines rather than relishing the heavy stuff - and some feel like the character/franchise has jumped on the shark.
>There are also people who say Christian Bale's villain Gorr doesn't get enough screen time -- nor does Natalie Portman, it seems...
