The script failures aren't Chis' fault.

That comic story works because Thor Odinson isn't really in it, at all. The entire premise is a perspective shift - how it feels to be a frail human burdened with godhood.

I almost understand how (if not why) the studios didn't approve risking a huge budget film by putting all the weight on many-award-winning actress, Natalie Portman.

But adapting comic books is about taking risks. Thor: Love and Thunder needed to be entirely centered on Natalie Portman, and Chris should have been free to act goofy while Natalie delivered the heartbreaking cancer stuff.

But the script was too chicken to make that leap of faith, and the movie is worse for it.

They didnt want to be called woke, but they did anyway. For some people, even thought of a woman getting into some man's space is woke, let alone her being as strong if not stronger than him.

Is that what the prevailing complaint was, though, or are you just saying that's what the issue was with?

[–] Cossty 2 points 6 months ago

I wouldn't call it prevailing complaint. If the movie was acually good, nobody would care what some idiots think, and it would be successful.
