Thor: Love and Thunder Becomes Least-Rated Thor Film on Rotten Tomatoes

Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder

More than any other MCU franchise, the Thor one is characterised by ups and downs. Thor's sequel, Thor: The Dark World, fared considerably worse than its predecessor, failing to meet up to the standards of its MCU rivals, marking a new low for the franchise.

The third movie in the series, Thor: Ragnarok, was directed by Taika Waititi, who brought fresh hope to the franchise with his special blend of humour and imagination.

Fans anticipated Thor: Love and Thunder, Waititi's second MCU picture, to be on par with or even better than that. However, following its publication, many people felt let down by the sequel due to what they perceived as a lack of tone balance and a waste of characters and plotlines. The movie has suffered as a result, both critically and commercially.

Thor: Love and Thunder has already broken a new record for the franchise, and not in a positive manner, despite having been out for less than a month.

Love and Thunder Ranks Last Among Thor Films

Thor: Love and Thunder has the lowest critic rating of any Thor movie on Rotten Tomatoes as of right now, with a Tomatometer score of 65 percent. Love and Thunder had a 65 percent approval rating from critics, which is a little lower than Thor: The Dark World's 66 percent.

both rated significantly higher, garnering a 77 percent and a 93 percent, respectively, for Thor: Ragnarok. The audience ratings, however, present a different picture, with Love and Thunder placing ahead of Thor 1 and Thor 2 with a score of 77%, albeit by a few points.

Despite the fact that this updated score breakdown places Taika Waititi's most recent movie at the bottom of the list on Rotten Tomatoes, it does grant him the distinction of being listed first and last, with his two Thor films Ragnarok and Love and Thunder.

Even if this score appears to be a death sentence for the movie, it's crucial to understand how the crucial Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes actually functions. The food-based fresh test actually displays what percentage of reviews were judged positively rather than giving an average of critic ratings. Therefore, even if only 65% of the reviews for Love and Thunder were favourable, its actual average rating may be a little higher.

Interesting to note is that opinions on the movie seem to vary among viewers. Although they still rated Love and Thunder somewhat higher than Thor and The Dark World, it moved up to number two in the rankings because of this.

Though it's uncertain how Thor's future in the MCU would be impacted by these poor scores, it is feasible that they could put an end to the chance of a Thor 5. No news of a sequel has been announced for Eternals, which experienced a similar Rotten Tomatoes destiny and became the first Marvel movie to receive a bad score. Another indication that things aren't looking good is that the prospective nemesis hinted to in one of Thor 4's end credit scenes is also sceptical of the franchise's future.

The Thor story, however, stands to benefit the most from beating the odds and securing a sequel because the God of Thunder has previously persevered through negative reviews to triumph. Let's hope he can pull it off once more.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
