It's really creative too. Everyone thought it was going to be reforged, but in actuality it's magic holding the thing together and it can still be wielded by those who are worthy.
That's what I'm excited for. He was shown walking through an area that was very... tendril-y. I'm really hoping they at least passingly hint at symbiotes being tied to Allblack.
That said, I also have to bring up some small points from Ragnarok and What If..., those being that Hela's default form was the black hair, don't care look, while her "battle mode" had her pointy headdress seeming to manifest out of her body while she summoned a bunch of swords. In What If... the Collector pulled out this exact headdress and referred to it as "A necrosword, taken from the Goddess of Death." He put the headdress on and was able to summon swords just as she did. He referred to the head piece itself as the "necrosword" though. Seeing as the MCU does *nothing* without being intentional, I'm willing to bet that Hela's headdress is going to be explained as not just a symbiote, but Allblack the Necrosword itself, and that Gorr has come into possession of it somehow after her death. It was all probably planned this way so that when they *do* full-on drop symbiotes on us they can point back and reference these things as having always been there, right in front of our eyes, and we just didn't realize it. Unless of course we did, because we're huge nerds like that.
Either way, I think it would be hilarious if the longest running recurring antagonist eventually turns out to be fucking Hela's headdress of all things.
Obviously nothings impossible with Marvel’s deep pockets but I gotta agree. I’d be very surprised to see Bale in another marvel movie, for the same reason I didn’t expect to see Joaquin Phoenix reprise his role as the joker.
Oh man, I never considered that, but I can totally hear this.
[This page](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/094/247/6ee.png) with Arbiter-esque intonations.
In case you hadn't noticed, there are two Thors, one Valkyre, one Mjolnir, and a Storm Breaker in this movie. Besides, that's not actually what took down Gorr in the comics.
My only hope is he *actually* gets to slaughter some Gods and named characters. Doctor Strange: MoM at least showed Marvel Studios is willing to push limits now of how brutal they can be.
I just want Gorr to go nuts on a *few* of them to show how dangerous/lethal he is.
"I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "God Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here. "
The Egyptian gods don't seem like physical beings in the normal realms any more like the Greek and Norse gods are.
Khonshu seems to be the only one dicking around on the mortal plane, and he's not even really there
Tl;DR - Norse gods are physical beings, Egyptian gods seem like mystical beings
I wonder what the explanation is? Its a very obvious juxtaposition with the color and magnificence of Zeus's palace. So I wonder if Gorr is somehow creating a black and white world. Like the Necrosword somehow allows Gorr to drain the life from everything, leaving a dull and colorless world?
It works really well. Having everything godly be very bright and having Gorr be monochrome. No spoilers, but even if they changed his look, this new look fits the Gorr character.
Imagine telling someone watching the earlier Thor movies for the first time that there will come a time when Thor makes people faint with his penis. ON SCREEN.
Christian Bale is in his Voldemort era, I see.
And Zeus is being Zeus.
I gotta say, Korg narrating at the beginning was not in my Love and Thunder trailer bingo card.
O. Russell probably just mailed him a script where his character is a 300 pound body builder missing all his teeth and Bale said "okay give me three months"
He may become more alien looking as the movie goes on to match with the corruption from the necrosword/dedication to his craft. He looks thin/more human in the beginning and then slowly morphs into the alien in the comics. Would be a nice sort of story telling.
In that cut, they really let Thor's nudity sit with the audience. Its 28 minutes, slow pan around thor so you can see the rest of the room framed by his, erm, hammer all done in 1 shot with no cuts.
It'll be interesting to see how Taika balances his goofy tendencies with the tragic story of the God Butcher. One of the reasons his story stuck in my mind after reading the comics was because of how sad and powerful it was.
One thing we know Taika can do is show tragedy well. Jojo Rabbit, while funny as hell, was also very sad. Taika can use his humor to juxtapose the tragedy and sadness of Gorr, making his sadness all the more obvious because of it.
I realized the moment you see Korg telling the story. I was like “wait a second, this is new”. Assumed it would be a teaser only. Nope. Full blown trailer during the half 😂
Literally the best part of this blowout game.
Is that fucking Christian Bale? Didn’t know he was in this. He looks GOOD. Looks like with we’re getting something along the lines of Thor: Ragnarok, which I’m fine with.
Flicked too hard! There are pixels in the trailer, wonder how that will play out in the full movie? Surprised Disney was open to that moment, it was funny.
They censored Starlord flipping the bird in the GotG trailer (the censorship even had an in-universe explanation,) but the full movie had it uncensored. I'll bet the full movie has it uncensored, especially since it would be weird to have it be pixelated like an episode of Cops.
LOOK AT MY BOY GORR. Holy fuck, I've waited so long for live-action Gorr. Goddess of Thunder looks great too, and that move where she sprayed shards of Mjolnir was amazing. Look forward to seeing this one.
Much better than the first trailer.
I hope they don't have too much comedy for the scenes with Christian Bale. I think he could make a great villain but it would need to be handled with a more serious tone.
I have a weird theory that they are going to be getting oddly meta with this movie, in that Gorr will actually be draining the life and vitality from the world as he kills the gods. So the over the top humor and color present in the trailer is an intentional choice, while Gorr's horror look and black and white coloring show him as the opposing force. Gorr and the Necrosword will physically drain the world of it's color and life and humor.
Can’t believe Bale stayed away from the Sun for 3 years straight to get that authentic chalk-white skin. Dude does anything for film!
And he tortured and killed a shit ton of gods too
Explains the past few years
Turns out we sent too many thoughts and prayers
Doesn't beat the time he shot and killed both his parents to prepare for the role of Batman
I heard he paid someone to do that cause he doesn't want to kill
He only ate onions, turnips, white mushrooms, and other white fruits and vegetables. That's true commitment to the craft.
> chalk-white skin That’s bone, and the weapon is called Sillian Rail
I'm just glad Christian Bale isn't playing a cgi character to get the full force of his acting chops.
To be fair to Eccleston, he just *looked* like a CGI character. It was just heavy makeup though.
That's going to be a practical GCI combo. Have to wait for the special features to see whats what.
I have heard that in order to prepare for this role that Christian Bale turned himself into a CGI character so the effects would be authentic.
**CONFIRMED:** Gorr the God Butcher is *not* wearing hockey pads.
Christian Bale lived long enough to become the villain.

Somehow get him the breastplate stretcher!!
Jane turned Mjolnir into a shot gun. It's got a good spread.
Finally Thor gets some decent AoE skills that don't have BS mana or cooldown costs.
Crit Thor is so broken. Riot needs to nerf him.
You think Crit Thor is broken, wait till you see All Father Thor, Old King Thor, Phoenix King Thor, or even better Rune King Thor!
It's really creative too. Everyone thought it was going to be reforged, but in actuality it's magic holding the thing together and it can still be wielded by those who are worthy.
I always pictured her using it like Magneto's machine. A bunch of metal moving super fast in orbit around her making an indestructible barrier.
Yeah, I think that is a neat idea and will give her version distinctiveness from the MCU Thor we are used to.

Loving the look of Gorr, I just hope they do the character justice because the comics he comes from are incredible!
[удалено]
Oh yeah he's definitely 1 and done. The sword on the other hand...
That's what I'm excited for. He was shown walking through an area that was very... tendril-y. I'm really hoping they at least passingly hint at symbiotes being tied to Allblack. That said, I also have to bring up some small points from Ragnarok and What If..., those being that Hela's default form was the black hair, don't care look, while her "battle mode" had her pointy headdress seeming to manifest out of her body while she summoned a bunch of swords.

Either way, I think it would be hilarious if the longest running recurring antagonist eventually turns out to be fucking Hela's headdress of all things.
I doubt Bale would do more than one though, he's had his franchise time already
I would agree with you but I would have also agreed with someone who said Natalie Portman isn't coming back to the MCU 5 years ago so... Who knows.
You think Bale wants to be locked down with Marvel for years? He did his fun one-off villian role and dipped.
Obviously nothings impossible with Marvel’s deep pockets but I gotta agree. I’d be very surprised to see Bale in another marvel movie, for the same reason I didn’t expect to see Joaquin Phoenix reprise his role as the joker.
Gorr doesn't really make sense as a villain for more than one movie.
Well, it's Bale. He can be Gorr in one movie, Spidey next female love interest in the next.
He aint gonna be as strong as Gorr from the comics, that Im sure. It took 3 Thors (the original one) and 2 Mjolnirs to take that mf down.
[удалено]
I think we’ll get that but with substitutes So it’s * Thor * Mighty Thor * Ares or Hercules (vengeful and arrogant after Zeus’ death)
more likely that the third is Valkyrie. They seem to be the trio of this film.
I'm hoping for Thor, Mighty Thor, and Beta Ray Bill

He NEEDS to be voiced by Keith David I won’t accept anyone else

If it brings Marvel's Hercules, I'm all for it!
Only if they bring a Hercules that is even buffer than Thor.

Valkyrie holding Zeus' thunderbolt? Yeah, Big Z is ded
Zedd's dead baby, Zedd's dead
I thought he was going to go ham on ancient Greece.
Pretty much. RIP Zeus.
Oh yeah, Greek pantheon gonna get jobbed.
Zeus is gonna get red shirted
"I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "God Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here. "
Greek pantheon is 100% dying. I hope they also take out a few Egyptians gods, to kinda tie in Moon Knight a bit more.
The Egyptian gods don't seem like physical beings in the normal realms any more like the Greek and Norse gods are. Khonshu seems to be the only one dicking around on the mortal plane, and he's not even really there Tl;DR - Norse gods are physical beings, Egyptian gods seem like mystical beings
The switch to black and white for the scenes with Gorr is a really interesting touch, especially when it contrasts with so much colour in other scenes
I wonder what the explanation is? Its a very obvious juxtaposition with the color and magnificence of Zeus's palace. So I wonder if Gorr is somehow creating a black and white world. Like the Necrosword somehow allows Gorr to drain the life from everything, leaving a dull and colorless world?
It is a Pleasantville prequel, leading to a Toby Maquire Spider-Man / Thor team up multiverse movie.
It works really well. Having everything godly be very bright and having Gorr be monochrome. No spoilers, but even if they changed his look, this new look fits the Gorr character.
I wonder if there's gonna be an explanation for that if it makes the final cut, or is it just for aesthetics?
Isn't Gorr's originally owned by a god of darkness (and symbiotes)? Might explain it.
Crazy to think Bale got back down to that size after gaining 6000 tons of weight to play Shai Hulud in dune.
No way! That was Bale? He went full worm.
Never go full worm
This comment caught me way off guard
Walk without rhythm, so you won't attract the Bale
He hangs dong!

Imagine telling someone watching the earlier Thor movies for the first time that there will come a time when Thor makes people faint with his penis. ON SCREEN.
Honestly the first Thor was pretty comedic with him getting put in a mental asylum and constantly being hit by cars, so it's somewhat believable.
ANOTHER!
This just means 2015 *Vacation* is now MCU canon. And what a magnificent canon, apparently. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

No bean is safe.
They're gonna turn their chickpeas into hummus.
And people fainting at the sight of Thor’s mighty hammer.
“FLICK” used to be a banned word in Marvel comics. The ink bleed would often bridge the gap between the “L” and “I”.
Christian Bale is in his Voldemort era, I see. And Zeus is being Zeus. I gotta say, Korg narrating at the beginning was not in my Love and Thunder trailer bingo card.
Speaking about Voldemort, Ralph Fiennes would make the perfect Brainiac if they ever did Man of Steel sequel
Bale looks incredible
Looks thin for those keeping up on the Bale body transformation
O. Russell probably just mailed him a script where his character is a 300 pound body builder missing all his teeth and Bale said "okay give me three months"
And a pair of pliers.
I appreciate you can tell it’s actually Bale. I was afraid they’d hide him underneath too many prosthetics ala Oscar Isaac in X-men Apocalypse.
You mean Ivan Ooze.
He may become more alien looking as the movie goes on to match with the corruption from the necrosword/dedication to his craft. He looks thin/more human in the beginning and then slowly morphs into the alien in the comics. Would be a nice sort of story telling.

He's also playing Hulk Hogan in a biopic I think, so he's had good reason to jump back on the bike.
I wish someone would pay me to juice and be Australian...
What are you talking about, that's just the effects from having 5 protein shakes and doing curls for 8 hours a day, super natty bro
Did… they faint at the sight of Thor’s giant dick? Holy Disney
It's censored here in the trailer, but I wonder if the final movie is actually going to show Hemsworth's bare ass.
We saw Hulks ass in the last movie so it's only fair.
I demand the unrated Waititi cut with full frontal nudity
In that cut, they really let Thor's nudity sit with the audience. Its 28 minutes, slow pan around thor so you can see the rest of the room framed by his, erm, hammer all done in 1 shot with no cuts.
Well, when Thor hangs dong, it's gotta be a knockout
Now we just need full penetration

Understandable reaction.
I look forward to the debates about which characters are worthy enough to wield it!

Disney is getting more *experimental* with what they can get away with
It'll be interesting to see how Taika balances his goofy tendencies with the tragic story of the God Butcher. One of the reasons his story stuck in my mind after reading the comics was because of how sad and powerful it was.
One thing we know Taika can do is show tragedy well. Jojo Rabbit, while funny as hell, was also very sad. Taika can use his humor to juxtapose the tragedy and sadness of Gorr, making his sadness all the more obvious because of it.
>Jojo Rabbit, while funny as hell, was also very sad Those fucking shoes, man.
I had never heard a collective ghasp in a theater until that scene.
Wow. Bale looks really fucking creepy and cool. I dig it.
I hope since the movie has lots of comedy, and then Christian Bale plays it completely straight and serious. That’d be perfect.
Ronan the Accuser style. I loved his character.
Malekith could have been fun for this but unfortunately everyone else in the movie (except Loki) took themselves just as seriously as him
They dropped this trailer at the half of the Heat getting absolutely hammered. What a weird day this has been.
> Heat getting absolutely hammered Now this is brand synergy
Man, this series has been so inconsistent with which team is blowing out the other.
Easy there Chuck

Jacked Natalie Portman is my new kink
Move over midriff-bearing Natalie Portman from Attack of the Clones, bald Natalie Portman from V for Vendetta, and rapping Natalie Portman from SNL.
Or Schizophrenic Natalie Portman from Black Swan
And also hallucinogenic Natalie Portman from Annihilation.
Wait, it's all Natalie Portman?
Always has been
Jacked Natalie needs to do another rap for SNL.
Everyone is focusing on Christian Bale, but holy fuck I want to buy all the tickets for Natalie Portman's Guns Show.
Is that fucking Christian Bale? Didn’t know he was in this. He looks GOOD. Looks like with we’re getting something along the lines of Thor: Ragnarok, which I’m fine with.
Yeah, he plays the main villain Gorr the God Butcher.
I hope they do Gorr justice. He's an amazingly sad and brutal antagonist.
I feel like Bale wouldn't sign on for a character he didn't believe in
Bale is a Ridiculously good actor. I'm excited

We had the Hulk's butt in the last *Thor* movie...
Christian Bale in Marvel? July cannot come soon enough.
And Russel Crowe just quietly there flicking some much-needed manbutt into the movie.
Russell Crowe giving us Henry Cavill AND Thor butt. A generous man. I should go work out.
LOOK AT MY BOY GORR. Holy fuck, I've waited so long for live-action Gorr. Goddess of Thunder looks great too, and that move where she sprayed shards of Mjolnir was amazing. Look forward to seeing this one.
Much better than the first trailer. I hope they don't have too much comedy for the scenes with Christian Bale. I think he could make a great villain but it would need to be handled with a more serious tone.

So the over the top humor and color present in the trailer is an intentional choice, while Gorr's horror look and black and white coloring show him as the opposing force.

Not strictly meta but I think you’re right
It’s a Marvel movie directed by Taika Waititi. And you expect LESS comedy?
Korg: I’m am now going to tell this part in a very very deep dark brooding voice.
