Reviewing Thor: Love and Thunder

 It's currently 9:23pm. It's been a while, I haven't really had much of the 'feeling' of posting anything. It's a bit like saying I don't really have any creativity, so in that way I want to apologize. In Thor: Love and Thunder there are two things you have to take away from it's message, one: Love is painful. The second, that no matter how many things life with throw at you, you can choose to bathe in disappointment, and sadness or choose to live again. Throughout the Thor series of movies, you can't help but feel a bit depressed yourself, at how many trials Thor has to endure in his quest of being an adventurous god. His people, his family, his love, and even his weapons, tend to end in some way. I think this was seen really well in an earlier movie: Avengers Endgame. You could finally see that Thor was in a state of complete defeat. Not only was he in a dark place, but the way he carried himself was in a way that really emphasized his desire to make something 'right'. I think this movie should've delved a little more in the direction of rebuilding himself. Thor wasn't really ready for another defeat. In this movie, I appreciate that he was trying to figure out who he was, but I felt it never really went in when it came to it. He was supposed to be someone who only lives to fight for others, yet it never really felt like it would be the right fit when his fights always end up in a very messy way, for someone who wants to help others out, it feels half assed when he destroys things in the ensuing fights. I really liked Jane Foster's arc in this movie it really felt like she had one direct objective, either live to fight another day, complacent in an important battle, or to die a hero in glory. I really liked how she ended up dying in the arms of another Thor. It felt right that Jane would have to die, even though she could've survived. In the end, Thor ends up with a child who is as if not more powerful than he is. I don't really think that was a very good way to end the movie, I think it should've explored more of his time with an interest of having a child of his own. It's an end all be all band-aid to his even growing traumas. I think the next movie, Thor should die. Unfortunately, his arc seems over, Chris Hemsworth should retire the character, only because of the way they kind of made Thor out in the stories that were made of him. I would like for Thor to continue in a way, maybe if they let him be in Avenger's movies or Guardians movies, but it really seems like he is at the end of his rope. It might be time for him to hand over the mantle of Thor to another, maybe his child at the end of Love and Thunder? In all I think this movie should've been Thor figuring out his place in the world, exploring the depth of his traumas, and exploring more of his interest in having a child, becoming a father. I did enjoy the aspect of Love and Jane's arc. I hope in the future that there's more of him and maybe another movie with a more in-depth perspective of Thor.
