Taika Waititi ’s visionof Marvel ’s God of Thunder helped radically redefine the character in Thor : Ragnarok . But though his follow - up , Love and Thunder , was largelya box office success , it draw amuch murkier reactionfrom lover and critic — and according to Thor himself , Chris Hemsworth , some of those critics were a little too close to menage for him to quash .
Namely , his kids ’ school friends , who really are the primary audience for a film like Love and Thunder , even removed from the fact they ’re in the approximate social rophy of the film ’s star . “ It ’s a bunch of eight - class - old critiquing my film . ‘ We thought this one had too much humour , the action was cool but the VFX were n’t as near , ’ ” Hemsworth say of some of the more personal reaction to the movie in anew profile with GQ . “ I cringe and laugh equally at it . ”
In what feel like a spot of an cumbersome criticism himself , Hemsworth believes that Love and Thunder ’s misstep were that it was too fun . “ I opine we just had too much play . It just became too lightheaded , ” Hemsworth bear on . “ It ’s always hard being in the center of it and having any real perspective … I have it off the physical process , it ’s always a ride . But you just do n’t bed how people are going to respond . ”

erotic love and Thunder definitely took Ragnarok ’s absurdist sense of sense of humor farther than its precursor , but even beyond its sense of body fluid clashing with the relaxation of the story the movie had plenty of result to make it look like a weak film in comparing . Christian Bale ’s villain Gorrlacked the sort of charismatic crook that made Cate Blanchett ’s Helaso immediately enchant , and endure from the common Marvel motion picture pitfalls of being a character who makes a lot of valid level about the status quo of their nemesis ’ world , only to still need to be circumvent up by the end of the word-painting . have in the film’sfrankly awful approachto the narration of Jane Foster — and how badly it managed to adapt abeloved laughable footrace ’s themesin the summons of doing so — and there ’s plenitude you may point to about the motion-picture show that is n’t just “ perhaps it was too fun . ”
But despite not meeting the expectations of a bunch of local eight - year - old with Love and Thunder , Hemsworth would bedown to returnto the MCU at some point , even if his current contract bridge has wrapped up . “ I love the experience , ” Hemsworth added . “ I sleep together the fact that I ’ve been able-bodied to do something fairly different throughout the operation . Thor 1 and 2 were their own thing , Thor 3 and 4 were a very unlike feel … and then even Avengers , the Lebowski Thor [ in Avengers : Endgame ] , the Infinity War Thor , due to dissimilar directors , and I call up mostly my own need to do something dissimilar . ”
So if we do see the God of Thunder again , odds are to expect something different from what we got in Ragnarok and Love and Thunder — which at this point is probably for the best .
