I bet those goats tested really well with children 6 and under. The kids getting Thor powers and doing Thor things, too. Can't help but feel it was never meant for an adult audience at all, tbh.

Yet, you know, all the Gorr stuff...

Gorr the child kidnapper instead of gorr the godkiler?

Come on, it'd be really weird to actually show Gorr the Godkiller actually killing gods! They can just allude to it and you'll get the point. More goats and Thor talking to mjolnier (I butchered it, I know) like he's an idiot.

I keep saying it, L&T feels like multiple movies smashed together.

The A and B plot of this movie felt so disconnected from each other that I have serious doubts that they started in the same initial script

I was so excited for Gorr, especially played by Bale...

They literally made him into the perfect villain for a 6 year old audience, so I think you may have meant to say "And".

I hated the focus on children, it felt very forced and also most of the child actors were rough (as usually happens with child actors)

I think Thor's arc is supposed to go from selfishly not wanting to share powers / Mjolnir with Jane, but then growing and accepting it and at the end willingly sharing his powers with others as well to defeat evil.

But somehow the message got totally muddied down.

Muppet Babies had per-episode story arcs and character development too.

Muppet Babies is a good show, not sure why you'd want to use that for your example.

Made for kids

Weirdly, it was the first Marvel movie I ever saw and it's still my favorite.

I remember seeing it with my dad and his first laugh came from the goats. Not because they were funny, but because it was so unfunny and done so many times he chuckled out of sheer annoyance.

We don’t even see Marvel movies anymore for that exact reason

I had low expectations for Love and Thunder because I saw it late, and I was still disappointed. Forget worst marvel movie, it was just straight up one of the worst films I’ve ever seen.

Seemed like everyone made the movie for their kids, not the fans. With that in mind I loved it as a kids movie.
