Damn must be a truly terrible movie if he’s out.

    He should instead make a movie about the Helldivers books.

    Casting issues notwithstanding, what do you do with a Helldivers movie that Starship Troopers didn't do 30 years ago? Feels like a tough egg to crack.

    That dies not bode well

    He’s one of those actors who have taste. Except aquaman, I didn’t see aquaman.

    Aquaman felt like two movies running at the same time. One was a fun action comedy, the other was a serious movie that had places to go. Each scene had plot shots and comedy shots, and they didn't feel like they had been shot together.

    My theory, based on zero research, is that half the movie was reshoots. Whether it was shot super serious and turned into a comedy later or the whole story was replaced after the fact, I don't know. Either way, it likely bears little resemblance to what he walked on set for.

    I feel the same way about Thor Love and Thunder. Anything to do with the bad guy was super grim and serious and everything else was silly.

    My understanding from rumors, is that is a Chris Hemsworth thing. It started with End Game, he wanted more comedy in Thor's personality. Hence the really awkward scenes in that movie. And has continued on since then.

    Besides the comedy not being very good and Chris not having any comedic timing, it goes against people's perception of Thor in my opinion...

    I'd love to never see this particular pedo's face again. Every time I see it I see that video of him copping a feel on a fucking child pops back into my head.
