Have you seen the new Thor movie yet?
“Love and Thunder” is about Thor, yes, but it’s also about the brilliant, cancer-stricken astrophycicist Dr. Jane Foster , the swaggering Asgardian king Valkyrie , and a bunch of kidnapped Asgardian kids, led by the deadpan Astrid/Axl . Christian Bale, in one of his more satisfyingly strange roles, inhabits the creepy, bleached villain Gorr the God Butcher.
That’s not frequently the case here. A brooding, bone-dry introduction gives us Bale’s alternately stoic and cartoonish Gorr, who is driven to violent desperation when his young daughter dies — despite his appeals to the gods. He’s called to a weapon named the Necrosword, which can slay gods, and he eventually starts doing so while basing himself in the Shadow Realm, a black-and-white, impressionistic setting we haven’t really seen before in the MCU’s 30 or so movies .
If that sounds like a lot, it is, and it only gets messier from there. We get to see the seat of the gods and meet Zeus , as well as Hemsworth’s bare butt, and hear various characters’ inner lives as they struggle to balance competing duties. It’s all pretty rote at this point for the MCU, but Waititi’s mischievousness helps brighten the corners .
