Thor: Love and Thunder

[Drunk Monk]

Prolly time to put the quash on Thor 4 vids...



Did I mention I got invited to the screener?

[Greg]

Nope. You should go. Lord it over us. Or me actually. Stupid DC stans.

[Drunk Monk]

Oh I'm totally going. 

It's at the Metreon.

...in IMAX.

For 2 days, I'll be lording over you like Vader force grabs starships...

Anyone wanting a Helmsworth warmup before seeing this movie could always gawk Spiderhead on Netflix.  Not that I'm recommending it.  Overly repetitive, and Chris was creepily unlikable.

Note to self: If a movie is lauded as "currently most popular on Netflix," there's a good chance it's not meant for me.

Well, that's gotta be fixed - http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=7084

[Greg]

DM is in a mood to fix things.

[Drunk Monk]

It's cuz I'm so broken...

maybe the fixing karma will heal me.

so far, that's a big nope...

[Greg]

More Thor ad campaigns.

I have made it to the metreon and my pain levels are medicated -‘caffeinating to counterbalance. It would be kinda funny (to you) and very annoying to me if I fell asleep during this.

Seemed like such an effort to get here but traffic was surreally kind and I did some qigong in a corner walkway to the Moscone center.

Waiting for my +1…

So Taika. 

But I like Taika so it’s great fun.

I was distracted from my pain (aka timing out my norco dosage perfectly) but it gave out in the last 20 mins of the hwy1 ride home. Might’ve made it if I had t got stuck behind a drunk driver for a long spell.

SPOILER ALERT
there’s an mri scene that lacks a head brace (no neck planking) - given that my day started there, that really stuck out
END SPOILER

I giggled a lot.

Taika is so gay. In a good way.

The more I reflect on this film, the more I see it as fun escapist fare, which is what I need now. It’s got so many plot holes and odd story arc beats, but it’s funny and that’s all that counts here. I watched the Thor one shots with Daryl and found them hilarious in that Waititi way, like candy, no nutritive value but a good placebo distraction from the pain of life now. This film is a lot like that. 

Curious to hear MCUfanboy Greg’s reaction. Will it succumb to MCUlt adoration or will the underlying dumbness rule?

FYI: Not reading any of your posts.

[Drunk Monk]

I know. 

You’ll read them later tho.

When will you see this?
