The Weekly Stuff #436 – Thor: Love & Thunder Review and Remembering Kazuki Takahashi

This week saw the release of the hotly anticipated Thor: Love & Thunder, a movie we were both looking forward to given what an exceptional effort director Taika Waititi’s last go-round with Thor was in 2017’s Ragnarok. Alas, the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is maybe the most disappointing, a muddled, unfocused, and aesthetically disastrous mess that has some good ideas and moments, but never truly coheres. We review the movie in our typical spoiler-filled depth, and before that, Sean tells us about his continuing adventures in the world of Resident Evil, Jonathan gives his thoughts on Square Enix’s Triangle Strategy, and we remember the great mangaka Kazuki Takahashi, creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!, after he tragically passed away this week at the age of 60. Time Chart: Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:08:09Resident Evil: 0:08:09 – 0:20:23Triangle Strategy: 0:20:23 – 0:35:48News and Kazuki Takahashi: 0:35:48 – 0:57:02Thor Love & Thunder: 0:57:02 – 2:36:19Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!Subscribe to the WEEKLY SUIT GUNDAM Podcast!Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!
