Ready Set Revue Episode 78: Thor Love And Thunder

Episode 78 of Ready Set Revue is up on all platforms and we are fresh off of seeing Love and Thunder in theaters. We actually caught it on opening weekend, but then half of the Revue Podcast Network went on vacation to a magical place called Greyfox, so we’re a little behind. Thor: Love and Thunder, however, remains a box office powerhouse that, for some reason, isn’t being loved by critics and all of the fans. The critics, we get. They can fuck right off. The fans, though, don't make any sense to me. Yes, the movie has a very straightforward plot that we’ve seen plenty of times before, though not really in the MCU but a pretty standard plot nonetheless. Everything else, though, is a breath of fresh air. While aesthetically similar to Ragnarok, this movie gives mainstay characters like Thor, Valkyrie, and Jane a whole new depth and looks to their post-snap future while also honoring what came before. The action is incredible, the jokes always land (even if they’re may be just a bit too many of them), and the entire visual experience is beautiful; especially on an IMAX screen. Christian Bale is terrifying as Gor and Russell Crowe is spectacularly ridiculous as Zeus. Stay for both after-credit scenes, True Revuers.
