MOVIE REVIEW: Thor becomes a lovesick clown in this mirthless sequel.
comic by Jason Aaron,"Gorr the God Butcher" and"The Mighty Thor." The former introduced one of his most formidable and fascinating enemies: Gorr, an alien who has declared war on all immortals. The latter, one of the most fascinating twists: Thor's human love, Jane Foster, develops cancer, and is only saved by the magic of his hammer, Mjolnir, which transforms her into the God of Thunder.set up none of this.
Gone is the comic's version of Gorr. As originally designed by artist Esad Ribić, he was clearly alien, and not just some dude in body paint. There's been speculation that his look was changed because it was a little close to the other pallid noseless wonder, Voldemort – which would be ironic, considering how a weirdly-esque subplot creeps in about Thor rescuing a bunch of Asgardian kids that Gorr has abducted to the shadow realm.
This isn't to say that the film has to rigorously adapt the comics. But when the replacement idea is less interesting than the original, that's a bad sign. Aaron'sis carnal, violent, and contemplative; Waititi's is a clown show. Worse, this is arguably the least interesting onscreen version of the MCU's Thor.
Waititi takes the fish-out-of-water elements of Kenneth Branagh's version of the Thunder God and turns him into a happy toddler with occasional"boo-boo face." That said, all three of the lead Asgardians are pretty doltish. Waititi's decision to make gods just imbeciles means that there's nothing to Jane's choice to take up the mantle of godhood.
