There\u2019s every chance that when Avengers: Doomsday hits our screens, fans can rest easy knowing that the MCU has finally got its groove back. The period between RDJ\u2019s imminent return and his departure in Avengers: Endgame has been a rocky one, with even fan-favorite heroes having slip-ups in that time. One often talked-about filmic fumble was Thor: Love and Thunder, which even its lead star, Chris Hemsworth, has admitted could\u2019ve used some more work. Naturally, fans had their own thoughts on the matter, explaining that on paper, the fourth Thor film had potential, just the wrong person orchestrating it.<\/p>\n
When an MCU fan on Reddit<\/a> asked, \u201cWhat are your honest thoughts on Thor: Love and Thunder, do you think it deserves the hate?\u201d The internet was quick to chime in. \u201cMerging the Mighty Thor and Godbutcher storylines together was inspired, but [director] Taika Waititi was the wrong director for that idea,\u201d argued one fan. \u201cMy biggest issue with the film is that it\u2019s clear no-one took it seriously, which Chris Hemsworth kinda admitted after the fact. They got too carried away with improv and the comedy, and weren\u2019t reigned in.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One fan agreed with the sentiment, saying, \u201cExactly. It didn’t know if it was a horror movie or a slapstick comedy. It couldn’t be both.\u201d Another added, \u201cIt\u2019s the worst thing modern Marvel has made imo. Complete waste of Bale. Too much Waititi-ness. It\u2019s one of the only MCU movies or shows that deserves its online rep (Secret Invasion being the other), most of the others that people act like are horrible are just mediocre to average, Love and Thunder is truly bad though.\u201d<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Thankfully, it wasn\u2019t all thunder, as there was some love for it, too. \u201cWhile I do think they wasted Christian Bale, I genuinely thought it was a fun movie.\u201d We didn\u2019t mind it either, to be honest.<\/a><\/p>\n Hopefully, when Thor returns in Avengers: Doomsday, he\u2019ll be back to the god-like standard we\u2019ve all loved to see him deliver. In the meantime, there\u2019s plenty of MCU action heading our way, which you can learn all about here.<\/a><\/p>\n
