With deleted scenes and high expectations, “Thor: love and thunder” finally reached the cinemas of Peru and the world. This new cinematographic adventure of the UCM marks not only the return of Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder, but also signifies the expected arrival of natalie portman What mighty Thor, a powered up version of Jane Foster. How could it be otherwise, to the delight of the fans, we also have the presence of Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie.
“Love and Thunder” is directed by Taika Waititifilmmaker who was also behind the loved/hated “Thor: Ragnarok” which laid the foundations for the future of our Asgardian avenger and boy has the peculiar style of comedy of the New Zealand filmmaker been felt.
As recalled, “ragnarok” had mixed reviews because, while many appreciated a change in the personality of Odin’s son, there were those who did not see this kind of transformation favorably, as they believed that the role played by Hemsworth had been caricatured. Is it so? Here we explain it to you.

“Love and thunder” not only follows the line of its predecessor, but takes the comedy and hilarious plot twists a few notches. At the beginning it is appreciated that they include witty ‘gags’ to lighten the story, but there comes a point where the fun becomes a bit tired, especially when you have a deadly villain like him. hat of Christian bale.
It is not that the jokes or funny interventions are seen as a forced attempt -in fact, the crazy goats are a great plus-, but it is that a bit of maturity is expected in a narrative that has Jane’s terminal cancer as a backdrop. , kidnapped Asgardian children and a ‘Butcher of gods’.
That is to say, when the script points to a dark moment that requires tension, the plot turns again to some funny escape to lighten the load. Even when the antagonist threatens to end innocent lives, this also turns into a comedy minifest.

At this point, “Love and Thunder” it is absurd and funny (perhaps a lot for fans of Thor in “Endgame” or “Infinity war”), but the previous point directs us to the amount of action and danger that there is in the film. But it does not finish convincing at all as far as anguish is concerned.
By that I mean the following: hat he’s a very well-developed villain with a valid motivation, but in the end his menacing presence feels like one of many the protagonist has faced before, even though it shouldn’t.
It is understood that by ‘Butcher of Gods’, the danger is of cosmic magnitudes and the Universe is in danger. However, the marked comedy in the narrative ends up overshadowing what could have been an epic and even truly dark adventure.
Perhaps that is why this idea has remained in the nebula that an Oscar winner was wasted for an antagonist whom the script does not allow to feel like a real threat. To be honest, Thanos was and he didn’t have a necroblade to take down his enemies with one touch.

100% Taika Waititi
The MCU movies focused on Thor They have had as many fans as haters. But the one that gave rise to an audience divided almost equally was “ragnarok”, the first of the franchise to be directed by Taika Waititi. This legendary filmmaker has built a fan base due to his outstanding work in award-winning films, such as “JoJo Rabbit”.
This last feature film managed to give Waititi the Oscar in the best adapted screenplay category, thanks to his warm, innocent, but funny look at World War II. However, this tone applied to “Love and thunder” is not necessarily what we expected: it feels like the comedy cuts the ‘feeling’.
We’ve seen Thor cry over his brother’s death, which could be heartbreaking for viewers. However, in “Love and Thunder” this fact takes a funny turn, when it should not necessarily do so.
For example, at the beginning of the movie, Korg (protagonist of one of the two LGTBIQ+ couples in the film) tells us that the God of Thunder has become vulnerable. This is due to the loss of important people for him, such as his mother, his father and other battle colleagues, but when he reaches Lokithe scene makes fun of the multiple deaths the God of Lies has had.
By turning this into a funny moment, what could be an emotional moment is downplayed and this feeling creeps throughout the colorful plot.

“Thor: love and thunder” It is, without a doubt, a different bet for the latest UCM projects. It makes no effort to establish connections with the rest of the Marvel Studios projects, much less relies on a multiversal narrative with hopeful cameos.
Even so, it turns out to be a risky, light proposal that will surely become the new box office success for ‘The House of Ideas’, although it will probably disappoint those who expected a slightly more mature solo story and one that leans by the darkness of “Doctor Strange 2″ or the nostalgia of death as in “Spider-Man: no way home”.
