Thor: Love plus Thunder minus Comedy

Just wow, what an improvment on the original, would recomend everyone to watch this version, the character of Thor is much more enjoyable and the ending was misterious with a hopefull idea of a future, the cuts flowed well and everything came together pretty nicely at the end.

Watched with some family members everyone enjoyed, so i can say it's not only my taste but thiers as well.

The jokes that stayed where very tastefull, it's only problem is that i wish there where more serious scenes in the original so that this cut was longer.

Soooo I definitely enjoyed it more then the original. The only scene that was kind of jarring for me was him in the town hall and all the people are gone. I went back and saw the original transition with him flying out and crashing, could of done without it lol.

I wasn't ready for Korg to just be dead after the Zeus scene but the one part where you silenced him and korgs mouth is moving while on the boat got a laugh out of me.

The end is definitely much darker and wasn't ready for the credit rolling. I went back to watch the ending of the original and can see why you chose to cut most of it. Movie made the Jane cancer story seem much more impactful.

One last note you made the Zeus court room scene soo much more enjoyable.

I enjoyed this edit quite a bit.
When this movie came out I was expecting Thor Ragnarok Part 2, well it wasn't that at all, too many jokes and too much comedy crammed into it. This edit cuts just enough humor and and keeps just enough humor as well. Thor is the Thor we all know and love, not the buffoon he is portrayed in Love and Thunder.

Many fans are going to enjoy this edit if anyone felt unsatisfied with the original movie. While shorter, it feels more like an MCU film with action and humor than the theatrical version. Having seen the one in theaters left me unsatisfied and was the first MCU movie to have me not laughing at all. This one feels more satisfying and one I would rewatch without complaining. Was I laughing now? Well, the part where Gorr scared kids with his decapitation story was the only time they gave me a big laugh. I thought this was one of the movies I would never bother rewatching if it ever came to it, but tremault left me surprised that I can simply watch this edit of Thor: Love and Thunder without skipping the worst parts.
- Thor's character feels more in line with what we saw in Ragnarok and doesn't feel too much like an idiot. Just got along with the Guardians too much. Rather than making him feel more like Odin in his early years with Hela, this edit makes him feel like the character we have seen for years. Giving Jane a mysterious past certainly helped with the ambiguity and offered a fresh take on her introduction. Removing her treatment in the hospital and her talk with Darcy was a removal I didn't know was needed to keep the audience surprised. Although, I wonder if Selvig and Darcy are aware that Jane is dead now. Korg is now what he was in Ragnarok, bringing in fun and not too many cringe-worthy jokes. The absence of Waititi-isms made Korg a better character who is not overshadowing everyone else. It's a shame Love and Thunder made me feel that he's overstaying his welcome, despite being in 3 MCU movies. Here, removing much of the humor and killing him off made me feel sorry for him and I wish Taika got out of his comfort zone and bring more risks to this franchise. The sad truth is, Taika is not going to work for Disney forever and he'll have to work with a different studio.
- The music choices are great in terms of replacing certain songs. I won't go too much into detail, but each edit feels seamless to go from one place to another.
- Gone are the screaming goats, which is a plus, and it sounds nice not having to remind myself of my humor tastes from 2010. Although, if Marvel really wanted them to scream, they would've opted to use actual animal noises (cows, horses, sheep. They're alien goats, they don't have to sound exactly like goats, but they shouldn't be meme-fied. Leave that for the internet). A major change I like was the addition of the deleted scene where Zeus teaches Thor about Thunderbolt (which happens to be the only normal scene in the movie). This was an important scene and it was cut out, probably because they wanted to have Jane's death more dramatic. With the scene included, it shows that Thor would be able to share his power using Thunderbolt, which I understood in the theatrical, but the implication given to the fans made them think why couldn't Thor have shared his power in other movies. I would go feel detail about the scene itself, but it would be just me ranting about the movie in general and not the edit itself. I liked the new intro. It will definitely make you feel more for Thor without Korg narrating the entire movie. I feel that it was originally supposed to be Chris narrating the movie since he did the same for Ragnarok and we heard snippets of it in the trailer. But my absolute favorite was the end credits sequence. I'm glad the VFX artists shared a textless version and gave us the background video. I couldn't stand watching the actual end credits sequence with its overabundance of font changes. It really did look like something out of WordArt. This one feels simple and you can actually see what is written there. Removing jokes that feel like a Saturday Night Live skit (and not a good one) gave a breath of fresh air for this movie, as was Korg's death. Stormbreaker doesn't feel jealous over Thor wanting Jonathan back, which is good since this is a real story we're seeing and not an overexaggerated fairytale told by Korg. It's possible he made it up since he was telling the story in the theatrical cut. The whole New Asgard sequence in the intro is removed and I think it's for the best. We don't need to see them opening up an ice cream shop after Thanos (although it would've made things a bit funny if they had Eitri from Infinity War painting the Gauntlet red since they would've received complaints about how insensitive it is). And we certainly don't need to see Matt Damon, Liam Hemsworth, Sam Neill and Melissa McCarthy doing pantomime (I would've given it a pass if they brought in Jeff Goldblum and his keyboard to provide music and have some off-set joke about how they're not getting paid enough for this). It feels like Marvel wanted to generate memes, but what trended the most was the CGI floating head. Here's hoping the artists get proper treatment as of now.
- If I were Marvel, I would have given Gorr more to do, Guardians a more screen presence and release special editions of previous Thor movies to justify the existence of Heimdall's son. It's odd we're seeing a trend of underwhelming children reveals in MCU movies. I'm not Jennifer Walters entering the real world to talk to Kevin and change the outcome, so I hope Marvel will take the Andor/Mandalorian/Kenobi route and fill in the gaps instead. Maybe they need to have someone inspecting years in MCU movies because I'm not sure if they're still in 2023 or 2025. They have a timeline checker, but not someone looking after the years. How very odd.
In conclusion, this edit is the definition of "less is more". The less jokes you have, the more story you have to tell. It goes straight to the point without any inhibitions. It feels in-line with Ragnarok, which is what everyone thought this movie would be: a fun Thor movie. The edits are seamless and every change feels welcome to make the movie satisfying. It's a shame the rest of the deleted scenes we've seen would not fit into this edit, all except for one. I thought this would be deemed impossible, but tremault proved me otherwise. I'm glad to have helped you out with this one. I wish this was the movie we've had (although, I'm intrigued over the 4 hour cut Taika said he'll never release). If you loved tremault's other fan edits, you will love this one. It's certainly the kind of edit that would leave Browntable on YouTube feeling less annoyed about the movie.

A viking god, a stand-up comic
What in common could there be?
If answer "nothing" you did,
You are smarter than Waititi.

Hammers, axes, goats, and gods
Have hearts to fall in love.
If 3 of those 4 sound silly to you,
You'll be happy to lose the above.

An edit of story, a change of tone,
This film needed much more focus.
Was it possible to make lead into gold
Or had Taika finally broke us?

Cuts galore! Chop! Chop! Chop!
This now runs mercifully short.
Farce, schtick, and mockery are gone
It's a film of a different sort.

The music was grand, the effects superb,
Though the drama is lacking here.
With acting and plotting so muddled
I never came close to shedding a tear.

The Guardians are gone, Avengers are dead
Can Thor ever just be Thor?
Now with tattoos, daughter and pet goats
The answer is "no", he's a bore.

Thor 5: Adventures in Portlandia
Is still where this franchise will head.
No edit can reform Marvel's story
Which will probably end up with him dead.

But casual fans will here enjoy, though those hardcore will still find fault
There are limits to what can be amended in this excellent effort by Tremault!
