Thor: Love and Thunder’s prologue explains that, having been sneered at by his god in the wake of his beloved daughter’s death, Gorr was chosen by the Necrosword to be its owner and use it to slay all gods for their callous selfishness. Still, the hammer’s decision to transform Jane into a superhero is mostly good news for Thor, since after encountering the majestically enhanced Jane, he’s immediately attacked by Gorr the God Butcher ( Christian Bale), a wraith-like specter with an imposing blade called the Necrosword. Thor eventually winds up in a quasi-love triangle with his old weapon Mjölnir and his new, jealous one, Stormbreaker. Jane, it turns out, is dying of Stage IV cancer, and has become a veritable “space Viking” simply by seeking out the shattered remnants of Mjölnir, which reformed in her presence and granted her Thor’s power (and armor and red cape). What he needs to fill that inner hole becomes clear thanks to a typically ridiculous speech from Star Lord ( Chris Pratt) and then a visit to New Asgard, where his battle against evil shadow monsters pairs him with Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) as well as a surprising ally: Jane, who’s now blonde, buff, and brandishes his Mjölnir hammer as The Mighty Thor.Ĭhris Pratt’s ‘The Terminal List’ Is an Unhinged Right-Wing Revenge Fantasy As he proves during a siege on an alien world that ends with him single-handedly saving the day with his usual arrogant-ignorant bravado-this time in a vest that looks like proper attire for an ’80s hair-metal concert-he can capably go through the heroic motions. Thor no longer has the dad bod he boasted in the wake of Thanos’ genocidal snap, yet while his physique is in peak shape, his soul is a wreck. There’s plenty of extravagant CGI action and ridiculous humor in Thor: Love and Thunder (July 8), whose story-per the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame-picks up with Thor (Hemsworth) in the company of the Guardians of the Galaxy, gallivanting around the universe protecting the innocent from nefarious villains. Yet the strain shows, resulting in a wannabe-rollicking adventure that overdoses on one title element at the expense of the other.

A rambunctious action-comedy cast in brilliant Day-Glo colors and set to the anthemic rock of Guns N’ Roses, Waititi's latest MCU effort works overtime to muster up hard-hitting humor and romantic pathos. Given Marvel’s trademark sexlessness, however, those risqué touches don’t change the fundamental PG-13 nature of director Taika Waititi’s second Marvel go-round, which follows in the goofy footsteps of his prior Thor: Ragnarok, albeit to lesser rewards.
