Christian Bale’s Gorr character
Do you believe that Christian Bale’s Gorr would have been better served as a motion capture CGI character like Josh Brolin’s Thanos and was it his decision not to shoot him that way or was it the studio decision to save money. Either way the film was poorly received and I wonder if the decision was made by the actor or the studio. It’s a shame because I believe he would have been better villain than even Thanos.

Giving their most talented actor almost no screen time was a huge mistake.
Dumbing down Thor in a stupid attempt to make him comical instead of complicated was a huge mistake.
The goats were a huge mistake.
Nearly everything that didn't contribute to advancing the story or addressing the Gorr problem was a huge mistake.
Stupidly wasted bales skills.
I still haven't been able to get more than 30min into a rewatch of L&T without turning it off and going back to another MCU movie when I'm in that mood. L&T makes Quantumania look relatively decent.
But you really can't blame Bale for that, that blame falls entirely with TW.
He's great at his craft
I was just disappointed, overall, with both Ragnarok and Love and Thunder.
Might have been put off by much of the attempts at humor.
That's the key thing, Gorr is special to comic book Thor stories, as it's considered the very best Thor run ever, it's iconic, and it's extremely heavy material, Thor questions the nature of Godhood, and it's extremely deep and serious and epic in scope and beloved by his comic fandom.
So all the people that actually grew up with comics and Thor stories seen this once in a lifetime chance to bring the Gorr story to the Big screen and turn it into a freaking low brow screaming goats thing was frankly blasphemous, as now forevermore they will not ever be willing to revisit that story seriously on the screen.
It's like that painting that they got the wrong person to restore and it was god awful and terribly done, it was a shane and all, but instead of it being some little known one it was the Mona Lisa instead, that's the scope of the difference between just a Thor story and telling the tale of Gorr the God Butcherer!!
I'll personally never forgive that butcherer of a filmmaker for it. If he just had changed the guys name to anything else, we would have been fine with it, as that story was such a disservice to the actual story and had so little ties really that we could have held on to the hope that the Gorr story would be done eventually, and that this was just another funny Thor movie, but with Gorr and what he entails thrown in the mix, it makes an OK at best movie into a blazing five alarm dumpster fire worthy of utter scorn for the disservice that was done to that story.
I will never watch another movie of his as he basically made a crayon mustache on the Mona Lisa and said get over it when asked later about the reception it was getting, well I'm still not over it and will never be, as it was an insult to the actual comic fans that was the reason we have these movies in the first place originally and he was flippant about it, so F him, I'll vote with my dollars to never support his projects.
If he would have said that maybe we shouldn't have used the name or that they thought it was way to heavy of a story for general audiences so changes had to be made, he could have at least acknowledged that he had some culpability in how it was received, but instead he said "Nah, my shits great and your stupid if your most cherished Thor story got shit on and you didn't like it." basically.
It was a big topic of discussion when that interview came out on the Marvel sub, as he came off as an arrogant prick about it. So yeah, he owned that one per his own interview.
Might be cause I’m always high watching it
Would have been cool. I like that movie more than most. Taika gets a lot of shit for it but it really feels to me like they cut a crucial twenty minutes and that feels a lot like a studio mandate to me
Suggesting gods can be bad is a nono.
On the other end, Malekith in Love and Thunder would have worked if they went more into his comic goofiness. I feel like he was wasted in Dark World.
Absolutely not
