When I watched Thor:Love and Thunder, I expected it to cotinue the story from its prequel and have the same sort of storyline. What I got instead was an alchoholic, drunk Thor, who makes obnoxious jokes throughout the movie and a movie that made ABSOLOUTELY NO SENSE.
For most of the first half of the movie, Thor and the other characters
curse much more than is needed and call each other "bro" and "mate". It may seem as if this is not that big of a deal, but if you look at other movies then it can be understood that this movie was too lighthearted and casual for a Marvel movie.
*Spoilers ahead*
First of all, the previous movies showed the Asgardians as powerful and courageous. In this movie, "New Asgard" look nothing like in the prequels and more like a modern-era tourist spot/fishing village. They have HOSPITALS ( Infirmaries), where Jane Foster is admitted. This shows their fear of getting injured and death. This is seen when Thor says to the children that they could go to Valhalla if they die, which the children dismiss. Clearly, the movie shows a modernized version of Asgard, whose people are cowardly in nature. This conflicts with the Old Asgard where people had no fear of death.
Second of all,
Most of the movie centered around Thor and Dr. Jane's romance and far less on saving the gods. The romance felt forced and dragged out like that of a soap opera.
Thirdly,
The scenes where Zeus has Thor stripped naked and when he speaks of an orgy are not appropriate for the movie's intened audience, especially young children. This type of adult content made no sense and did not relate to the plot. Zeus (Russell Crowe) speakes in a Grecian accent, which both feels stereotypical and out of place.
Finally,
The casting choices for this movie did not match the characters. For example, Zeus looks much older, with greying hair and some brown hair. Also, Zeus was not needed in this film because Odin was King of the gods prior to Zeus.
Thor:Love and Thunder seems more of a family entertainer in my prespective, and feels nothing like its prequels.
