My mini-review of THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER.

Short version: …I think some of the critics out there need to accept that the primary sources of these movies are Jack Kirby comics, which were created in the expectation that many of their readers would be stoned, and/or tripping balls.

Slightly longer version: it’s fine. THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is fine. The movie was practically airbrushed on the side of a van, but it’s fine and there’s no need to be solemn about What It All Means. It means a lot of people doing slow motion jumps to Guns N’ Roses, the director shamelessly narrating his own movie and getting away with it because he’s funny, and screaming goats. So, so many screaming goats. I laughed every time the goats screamed, because I was imagining a film critic getting more and more upset, every time he was forced to listen to the screaming goats. I was disappointed that the last end scene wasn’t just the goats, screaming one last time. Probably Taika Waititi storyboarded just that, only they told him no.

…Anyway. If you’re tired of the MCU, don’t go see this movie. If you aren’t, go ahead. It’s all cool.
