In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"Thor: Love and Thunder" turns the Norse hero into comic relief, rewrites identities for modern sensibilities, and doesn't leave much room for old-fashioned heroics or pluralism. It’s a peak example of Hollywood’s current brand of superhero "wokeness."

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film leans heavily into identity politics, especially with Jane Foster taking on the Thor mantle and significant focus on character identity over long-established lore. Some viewers may feel traditional characters are pushed aside to prop up newer, more diverse ones, impacting narrative cohesion and established dynamics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Masculinity is often played for laughs, and traditional heroism is softened or critiqued, with Thor depicted as clueless and often the butt of jokes. The film rarely takes the themes of gods, family, and identity seriously, opting for irony and subversion over respect for mythos.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives and traditional values are mostly absent or ridiculed. Virtually every major character, including gods themselves, is made to embrace modern ideological stances, and dissenting views get little to no sincere exploration.
