Brief Synopsis:
Thor Love and Thunder arrived in cinemas to the sounds of raucus laughter, and the sound of footsteps as people walked out of the cinema, disgusted at what a blundering fool Thor had become. Whilst many people enjoyed Taika Waititi's unique blend of humour and emotion, There are many people who felt he had taken it too far.
Thor Love and Thunder Minus Comedy takes the worst of the comedy out and aims to focus on Thor's emotional journey, rediscovering love and accentuating the threatening presence of Gorr the god-butcher.
Thor discovers that Gorr is aiming to kill all gods and sets out on a mission to raise an army to rescue the abducted children of Asgard. It's not yet clear how this army will come about but on the way, he meets the enigmatic Zeus whose allegiances are never quite clear, and rekindles a romance with Jane Foster who has her own secrets.

It's not yet clear how this army will come about but on the way, he meets the enigmatic Zeus whose allegiances are never quite clear, and rekindles a romance with Jane Foster who has her own secrets.
Intention:
The plan is to remove the worst of the comedy and allow the story to breathe. There is actually a lot of quality in the movie, it's just completely undermined by the puerile humour. This edit takes out the worst bits and tries to leave the movie more on the level of Thor Ragnarok. The focus is on Thor. Some Jane scenes are removed to support this.
Additional Notes:
Audio is stereo.

Editing Details:
AI tools were used to clean up audio, separating dialogue and music so it could be re-layered.
AI upscaling and frame insertion was used to allow for some special effects when doing Zeus' magic psychic power.
New credits animation was created in 3dsmax using clean backing plates.
Korg's face was made static by grabbing a still frame and motion tracking it to the movement of the shot.
The escape from omnipotent city was made vague by selectively blurring out the 'sky' with a mask that was motion tracked to the footage.
The glowing effect added to Zeus' eyes when he does his psychic message to Thor was merely hand painted in photoshop and motion tracked to the footage.

There are aspects of the original Thor: Love and Thunder that I enjoyed but the "comedy" (if you'd like to call it that) made it almost unbearable. Everything we'd seen in the past of Thor's character arc, with his mourning, his humility, and declining mental health, had all been thrown to the wayside to make room for an at times childish Thor and cheap, middle school humor. Unfortunately, I think there's very little any editor could do to try and resurrect any sort of character or story progression from the atrocity that is Thor 4 but Tremault's edit seems to smooth out the ride of the original trainwreck and that's definitely worth some praise.
Purely based on personal preference, there are parts that I would've liked to see remain in this cut, like the falling glass temple, Thor's (admittedly lame but funny) slow glide into screen when Star Lord looks at the Guardians and the absurdity of Zeus (which, I think, actually fits given the character). Not all comedy was bad comedy in the original, the majority of it was though. Ultimately, this was a MUCH better version than the original and I'd 1000% watch this before watching the official release. Thanks, Tremault!

After the success of Thor Ragnarock, director Taiko Wattiti and Thor actor Chris Hemsworth were riding high and given cart blanche to do whatever they wanted for Thor Love & Thunder. The plan was simple; make the best Thor film ever. The reality was that we got the worst Thor ever, but that's where tremault steps in....
Thor Love plus Thunder minus Comedy; is editor tremault's rendition of the events of the film and if you are lucky enough to see it for yourself, you will agree that this should be taken as the defacto Thor Love & Thunder Experience going forward.
All the jokes that don't work have been cut, all the bizarre character moments', all the dumb Thor moments', all of it has been cut. Thor Love plus Thunder minus Comedy; gets right to the point and moves at a break neck pace. Part of this is because tremault has expertly cut out the filler and drives ahead with the story. This edit illustrates that when you take away the noise, the original story isn't half bad! The other reason for the pacing is because the original film had so much nonsense in it that when you cut it; the film easily looses a great deal of its run time I can only imagine how hard this edit was to achieve and from a technical standpoint; the editing is seamless, audio, visuals, everything, its all seamless.
There were a couple of editing choices tremault made which were ambitious given the material she had to work with. Both which which kind of work but because of the way the original scenes were shot, is a mix of of inspired but a little awkward. I applaud the editor for making it work at all, given how poorly composed and illogical the the original sequences were, but it was a thrill to watch from an editorial stand point.
Despite if whether what I've written above here sounds negative or not, rest assured this edit is genuinely awesome.
It takes a bad film and actually makes it alright. It is still the weakest Thor films but it at least it's now fun and can be taken seriously now. I have no doubt that if tremault had access to the original footage that she would have been able to do an even better job as this film would have been extraordinarily hard to edit. This version could pass off as the genuine product if it weren't for the foreknowledge of having seen the original.
I would highly recommend you watch this.

When I first watched Love and Thunder, I couldn't finish it and had to put it down. When I stumbled across this edit I figured it was worth a shot to try again. From the edit starting montage/narration and the beginning battle I knew this edit meant business when it came to cutting out unnecessary comedy. This version of the movie is far more tolerable, and shows the potential that was behind the film and helped even out the tone between the God Butcher and the rest of the comedic shenanigans.
I mean it got rid of the screaming goats, what more could you ask for.

Tremault - I am shocked by how much better you made it.
I'm a big marvel fan and I wrote this movie off as just being too dumb to watch again. You cutting out all the cringy & lame comedy really brings the heart of the movie out.
Thanks for working on it and I will save this version as the one I watch

The editing is really solid! I think my problem is with the movie itself. Even removing so many jokes, this movie still feels really silly and uneven to me.
I like what the editor did, I just think this one was a bit under cooked in the writing process, and it's going to be tough to save in post.
