Erik Laws of the AintThisTheFun podcast on YouTube returns to talk the latest in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Erik Childress and, boy, are neither of them happy. Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder gets the full business from the Eriks talking about the waste of two of the best actors working today and a most embarrassing turn by a third. Where does Gor, the God Butcher fit in with MCU villainy – or where should he have fit in. Can any of the deadly serious plotlines find room to breathe in a screenplay that is too busy bee-bop and scattin’ around to warrant any genuine conflict? Childress and Laws go scorched earth for over two hours and ask if this is an inflection point for Marvel fans. Is their loyalty endless or will what may be the worst film in their Universe give them pause the next time they are asked to defend it.
