Thor: Love and Thunder is a muddled, jumbled semi-entertaining mess

At what point do we say that the emperor has no clothes? While it’s too soon to say that they have no clothes, it’s time to say that their wardrobe has a malfunction, and could otherwise use an adjustment. The emperor in this case is the MCU and the latest canary into the movie cave mine is Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s important to point out that Thor: Ragnarok was amazing. It perfectly combined humor, memorable characters, and great action set pieces into an MCU film that resides in the top tier of that genre. Thor: Love and Thunder combines some of the similar elements that made that film so much fun, but jumbles them up into a movie that wants you to have as much fun as the actors are having.
