There’s 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’s 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’ve 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.
When an MCU fan on Reddit asked, “What are your honest thoughts on Thor: Love and Thunder, do you think it deserves the hate?” The internet was quick to chime in. “Merging the Mighty Thor and Godbutcher storylines together was inspired, but [director] Taika Waititi was the wrong director for that idea,” argued one fan. “My biggest issue with the film is that it’s 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’t reigned in.”
