Of course the floating head would dominate the early discourse, considering it’s one of the most baffling and visually ugly scenes we’ve seen in the entire history of the MCU, not just Phase Four.

Axl's floating head has been tweaked for the Disney Plus version of Thor: Love And Thunder, but Marvel fans still don't like it.

It seems [Marvel](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/marvel/) has been listening, as one of the scenes which got criticized most in Thor 4 has been tweaked for Disney Plus. Axl's head now looks a lot sharper in the scene, but as you can see in the tweet above, along with its replies, many people don't appear to think that necessarily makes it better. There are a select few fans who have tried to defend the poor effects. That communication manifested on screen via Axl's floating head and to put it mildly, it did not look good. Axl and a few other Asgardian children are held captive by Gorr the God Butcher, but Axl manages to communicate with Thor from afar using his inherited powers. One of the ongoing arguments surrounding it and the [MCU](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/mcu/) as a whole comes down to CGI and special effects.

Now, as the Chris Hemsworth-led movie enjoys its Disney+ premiere, one Marvel fan uncovered the fact that the studio did a key change to alter its CGI.

[poked fun at these issues](https://thedirect.com/article/thor-love-and-thunder-vfx-mistakes), indicating that they are aware of the criticisms. Some have believed that this visual effects issue is due to [the movie's heavy reliance on The Volume](https://thedirect.com/article/thor-love-and-thunder-to-use-star-wars-the-mandalorians-volume-technology-chris-hemsworth), the filming technology that was used for The Mandalorian, while others pointed out that it could be tied to the strict turnaround time of the studio for VFX artists. [@](https://twitter.com/@comicxbook) [comicxbook](https://twitter.com/comicxbook/status/1567687477707554816) discovered that Disney+ updated the CGI of a key scene from Thor: Love and Thunder.

The second act of 'Thor: Love and Thunder' relies on Gorr's determination to get to Eternity, a being in the Marvel Universe. Is Eternity a Celestial?

However, Eternity subsists on everything that exists within the universe, and the universe exists because of Eternity. In fact, Celestials are part of Eternity, as is the entire Marvel universe. In the Marvel comic books, Eternity is even more powerful than he appears to be in the MCU. Together, these four cosmic beings make up the four corners of the Marvel universe. The lore of the universe is that Gorr can make a wish, and Eternity must grant it. And to many casual at-home [MCU](https://www.distractify.com/t/marvel) fans, the character [Eternity](https://www.distractify.com/p/is-jane-really-dead-in-thor-love-and-thunder) inspires some questions. Eternity grants this wish, Gorr dies at the hands of the Necrosword’s dark magic, and Eternity becomes a major figure in Thor: Love and Thunder, and while some of us may know the word, “eternity,” to just mean “all time,” Eternity also happens to be a very powerful Marvel entity. [Disney Plus](https://www.distractify.com/t/disney-plus) day! Gorr’s motives come from the death of his daughter because of the carelessness of his god, and so he believes that the power gods have over humans is unjust. Luckily for the gods, Thor goes along with Gorr, and they meet a silhouette of stars: Eternity. It’s the biggest day of the year!

Thor: Love and Thunder, now on Disney Plus, was never going to do right by Gorr the God Butcher and his shapeshifting necrosword — which is why you should ...

The message of Aaron’s run isn’t that all gods must die, but that all gods must change. [Thor: Love and Thunder](https://www.polygon.com/23333106/thor-love-thunder-deleted-scene-guardians-hemsworth-pratt) to do justice to [Gorr the God Butcher](https://www.polygon.com/23124300/thor-love-and-thunder-christian-bale-villain-name-gorr-god-butcher). Other strong themes took its place, like family ties and wrestling with the sins of your forefathers. You don’t have to watch much of Thor: Love and Thunder to get Gorr’s basic deal: The guy thinks all gods should die, and he’s got a plan to make that happen. I mean, yeah, it’s a story about Thor’s evolution as a person, but it’s also got a “godbomb” that will reach across time to kill every god who ever lived at every moment of their lives simultaneously — and tons and tons of Ribić’s gorgeous art. That worthiness isn’t something you are, but something you work to do every day, and is closely tied to an acceptance of mortality, whether your own or that of your loved ones.

Disney+ Day brought a lot of fun surprises, including 'Thor: Love and Thunder' finally hitting the streaming service and available to watch now.

The 'Thor: Love and Thunder' episode of 'Marvel Studios Assembled' features interviews with Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Taika Waititi.

Launched last year on Disney+, Marvel Studios Assembled drops new episodes every time a new Marvel movie is introduced to the catalog, or when a Marvel series wraps up its run. The documentary episode brings, of course, interviews with Portman herself, who states that “it feels really rewarding to get to come back with a completely different lens on the same world.” The new release is accompanied by another episode of Marvel Studios Assembled, a documentary series that brings behind the scenes information about all movies and series from Marvel.

One of the complaints about Thor: Love and Thunder upon its release was that some scenes involving visions of Axl, Heimdall's son.

Dyer’s face becoming more visible as a result. Instead of a more cloudy vision, Axl’s face is clearer now, with actor Kieron L. A new fix aims to change that for the film’s Disney+ release.

Eventually, they find themselves targeted by the nefarious Gorr the God Butcher, played by one [Christian Bale](https://ew.com/person/christian-bale/) in very creepy makeup. [Thor: Love and Thunder](https://ew.com/creative-work/thor-love-and-thunder/) set to begin streaming Sept. "That's the question we ask everyone: Are we doing the right thing, and are we doing all we can in the world? The result is a film that's part epic space opera, part buddy adventure comedy, and part rom-com. Love and Thunder picks up after the events of Avengers: Endgame, and at this point, Thor has lost his eye, his hammer, both his parents, his brother, all of Asgard, and most of his Avengers colleagues. That's where Bale's villain, Gorr the God Butcher, was first introduced.

A mid-credits moment introduces a new MCU hero, while a post-credits encounter reunites us with a lost Asgardian friend. The movie hit Disney Plus on ...

In the comics and [Norse mythology](https://www.lifeinnorway.net/valkyries/), the Valkyries guide those who fall in battle in Valhalla, so their MCU counterparts may have gone on to serve a similar purpose -- Jane could ultimately join their ranks. That suggests the regular version of the character remained in isolation, so he may not have made it to Valhalla after all. Since the OG Loki was killed in battle, he should've been rewarded with a blissful eternity in Valhalla. [Thor: Love and Thunder](/culture/entertainment/thor-love-and-thunder-review-taika-waititi-marvel-return-is-a-disappointing-encore/) landed in theaters [in July](/culture/entertainment/new-movies-coming-out-in-2022-netflix-marvel-dc/) and came to [Disney Plus](https://disneyplus.bn5x.net/c/159047/564546/9358?&sharedId=cnet&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2F&subId1=cn-___COM_CLICK_ID___-dtp___OPTOUT___) and digital stores [on Thursday](/tech/services-and-software/thor-on-disney-plus-streaming-release-date-time-and-what-else-to-know/). After that, he lived in solitude on a remote planet "for a long, long time." He also reunites with former flame Jane Foster ( [Natalie Portman](/culture/entertainment/thor-4-to-star-natalie-portman-as-lady-thor-is-titled-thor-love-and-thunder-comic-con-2019/)), who's been empowered by his old hammer Mjolnir and become the Mighty Thor, as they face the creepy threat of Gorr the God Butcher ( [Christian Bale](/culture/entertainment/thor-love-and-thunder-new-trailer-with-christian-bale-villain-gorr/)). [Norse mythology](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Valhalla-Norse-mythology), was mentioned earlier in the movie. "You are very welcome here in the land of the gods," he says warmly. However, MCU post-credits scenes typically serve to set up future plotlines and Jane's comic counterpart became a Valkyrie after her time as Mighty Thor concluded. The heroic duo succeeded in convincing Gorr to abandon his genocidal campaign, but she lost her battle with the disease shortly afterward. Since the movies and shows regularly riff on classic comic stories, it's possible Hercules will team up with Kang in his quest to take down Thor. He's shown up regularly in the decades since his debut, occasionally starring in his own series.

(Anyone else tired of the self-aware joke’s-on-us bullshit?) He tosses in G’n’R’s biggest jukebox hits in an attempt to beef up frequent and unspectacular displays of CGI-heavy action. (Well, maybe Love and Thunder brings to mind the 1981 Clash of the Titans, but only fleetingly.) And so, the Thor movies, ranked: He opens with a stark and haunting villain origin, then slams headlong into uptempo action-comedy followed by a somber meditation on mortality followed by more cartoonish action followed by the interminable Omnipotence City sequence, which is so grating and obnoxious and extraneous, it can’t even be saved by Crowe letting ’er rip, and all but begs to be exterminated. But the herky-jerky narrative feels half-considered, and makes us feel like we’re trying to dance to an odd time signature. This could’ve been a buoyant, welcome diversion from the usual MCU grind. His good ol’ hammer Mjolnir sits shattered Earthside, in New Asgard, and he’s out with his new inanimate hammer pal, Stormbreaker, having space adventures with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Much can be said for Hemsworth’s underrated comic timing, when he has decent material, and a character who isn’t two or three scintillas away from wearing out his welcome. Suddenly the Necrosword is in his hand so he stabs his god in the throat, then declares himself Gorr the God Butcher. Thor’s fighting some of Gorr’s shadow monsters when a Jane version of Thor shows up, Mjolnir in hand. He has a braid in his hair and he’s all upbeat but he’s also still capable of violent fighting, and it all is probably masking the pain he feels after the death of his father, mother, brother, buddy and, actually, his entire home planet. [THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER](https://decider.com/movie/thor-love-and-thunder/): STREAM IT OR SKIP IT? And that’s when the Necrosword finds this man.

Tensions rise between Star-Lord and Thor as Thor refuses to understand the gravity of the fight they're in. [more of the gods of Omnipotence City](https://mashable.com/article/thor-love-and-thunder-omnipotence-city)? [Thor: Love and Thunder](https://mashable.com/article/thor-love-and-thunder-review) is now streaming on Disney+, and if you can't get enough of the God of Thunder, I've got even more good news for you.

Marvel fans shared their disappointed thoughts on a deleted scene from Thor: Love and Thunder.

And this scene in particular brings a moment that would have actually added another layer of depth to the MCU's most controversial movie of Phase 4, especially considering its already shortened runtime. "This scene clearly explains how Thor gave the Asgardian kids powers from the Thundebolt. Power is everywhere, you just have to harness it, or you point…power comes from the heart." In this scene, Zeus actually comes to Earth and gives Thor some meaningful insight about his iconic weapon, the Thunderbolt. This would have changed the scene prior when Hemsworth's Thor threw Zeus' lightning bolt straight through his chest and injured him before he escaped with Jane, Valkyrie, and Korg. This gives viewers the opportunity to revisit the movie that earned widely mixed reviews while also enjoying deleted material that didn't make the final theatrical cut.

Thor: Love and Thunder is the first full-fledged fourquel within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking the franchise in a new direction.

She is always ready to cover trending TV stories with an unbiased perspective and a pinch of gossip. [FanFest](https://fanfest.com/about/) [Thor: Love and Thunder](https://fanfest.com/?s=Thor%3A+Love+and+Thunder) is the first full-fledged fourquel within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking the franchise in a new direction. They set out on a perilous cosmic journey to learn the God Butcher’s motives and prevent him from wreaking havoc before it’s too late. Thor must enlist the aid of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi), and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) – to his surprise – in order to combat the danger. We just wanted Jane to come in at the end.” “The plan was always to have them in the beginning and then move on.

A deleted Thor: Love and Thunder scene gives the impression that Brett Goldstein's Hercules wasn't always part of the plan for the Phase 4 movie.

[director Taika Waititi](https://screenrant.com/thor-love-thunder-post-credits-scene-hercules-explained/), he isn’t privy to what Marvel has in store for the character’s future. As for Zeus’ Thunderbolt weapon and its role in the overarching story, it’s possible that Valkyrie didn’t have it in the fights that followed, but Thor did end up with it for the finale. Though the scene put Hercules in a position to be Thor 5’s villain, it’s more likely that the plan is for Hercules to have a rather short-lived role as an antagonist.

Matt Damon, who played Actor Loki in Thor: Love and Thunder, reflected on his role in the movie.

If this is the end of the actors' journeys in the The director [has expressed interest in coming back for a fifth installment](https://thedirect.com/article/thor-5-taika-waititi-return) in the series, but only if Hemsworth would be returning as well. There’s a lot of good energy on the set. Now that the film has been released on Disney+, the actors have been able to reflect on their cameos, and it seems like all three greatly enjoyed their time on set. One element of Ragnarok that became a talking point amongst fans was the cameos of Matt Damon and Luke Hemsworth. The Taika Waititi-directed flick features Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder alongside [Natalie Portman's Jane Foster](https://thedirect.com/article/marvel-natalie-portman-return-likely), Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie, and Korg as they were pitted against [Gorr the God Butcher, portrayed by Christian Bale](https://thedirect.com/article/christian-bale-gorr-unused-official-art-photos).

If you thought Marvel's much-scrutinized CGI looked updated -- for at least one scene, you'd be right.

In the case of Stranger Things, this involved [addressing a continuity error](/culture/entertainment/stranger-things-4-directors-to-digitally-fix-will-byers-plot-hole/). Aside from story elements, the fourth film in [Marvel's](/culture/entertainment/marvel-cinematic-universe-phase-4-the-full-list-of-release-dates/) Thor franchise was [questioned over the quality of its CGI](/culture/entertainment/marvels-vfx-artists-are-suffering-now-theyre-speaking-out/), seemingly even by its director Taika Waititi. Axl (formerly known as Astrid) informs Thor that Gorr the God Butcher kidnapped all the children in New Asgard and transported them to the Shadow Realm.

The audio commentary for the latest Thor movie from Taika Waititi reveals a few things about the Marvel movie.

However, if you look closely, the entire movie's plot is here--which includes a lot of things Meek and friends never saw. She went into her room and drew the first shadow monster called "Octy," a snake-like creature, which you can see in the movie. Waititi explains that some deleted scenes are included in the board too. He said that TVs are too advanced, and it's ruining pictures. Some of those ideas are great--Jane, the humor, the visuals--while others are lackluster and meaningless." The one you see above is based on Toecutter (played by Hugh Keays-Byrne in Mad Max). One thing you may not have realized about the movie is that many of the people who worked on the movie had their kids in the film or designing some of the memorable elements. And for the rest of the creatures, children drew the monsters. However, if you want to dive deeper into the movie, you'll want to have access to the special features, like the audio commentary from director Taikia Waititi--and his two children. That baby is Thor Love and Thunder producer Brian Chapek's baby. Taika's oldest daughter, Te Hinekahu--who was about seven at the time--saw part of the script with the words "Shadow demon." Miller is a huge influence on Waititi's work.

Comic book writer Dan Slott cannot understand the criticism that has been aimed at 'Thor: Love and Thunder.'

In comparison to what we have now, ’80s Thor looks as if someone wanted an easy Viking Halloween outfit, and let’s remember, there was no CGI to bring about lightning or have him really look like he was flying, let alone riding a goat-drawn boat across a rainbow bridge in space. Slott works as a writer for Marvel, and it was his work that turned She-Hulk into a “superhuman lawyer” back in 2004, which directly led to the newest Marvel/Disney show She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. [Thor: Love and Thunder](https://wegotthiscovered.com/tag/thor-love-and-thunder) has faced a fair amount of criticism since its release in July, but comic book writer Dan Slott is having none of it.

ReleaseTheWaititiCut? We're not sure about that, but another newly released Thor: Love and Thunder deleted scene shows how different the movie was before ...

That might mean Hercules was a last-minute addition, though it's always possible he was originally going to be an ally instead of an enemy.

Plumb: “Please don’t worry don’t worry about the next question. We’ve got Thor queueing for the post office to send money back home.” [Brett Goldstein's Hercules looking for vengeance after the battle at Omnipotent City](https://thedirect.com/article/marvel-brett-goldstein-universe). Can I pitch you some titles for the next Thor films?” Waititi: “I think… I literally think you could make at least half a billion dollars in the box office and you’ve only spent eight million. Thor 5: Learning to Drive.’ I’s like Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield, but Thor learning to drive. This led to some hilarious subtitle names, including "What a Classic Thor Adventure, Hurrah:" Yeah, it’s just learning to drive.” [as early as last summer, with Waititi only offering the comment "who knows?"

Thor: Love and Thunder Producer Brad Winderbaum explained why Natalie Portman's Mighty Thor helmet was completely CGI.

[CGI can always look better](https://thedirect.com/article/thor-love-and-thunder-disney-cgi-change). With the limitations that VFX artists still have due to COVID-19 and the fact that they are constantly working extremely hard and trying to meet deadlines, it isn't going to be perfect, but they are going to do the best they can. And we adapted to the beautiful face of Natalie Portman, but we didn’t want to hide too much of her eyes and her features. "CGI on Jane Foster's Helmet in the Thor 4 trailer looks distractingly bad, why can't they just get Natalie Portman to wear the helmet. Most filmmakers and actors would probably sacrifice something like a helmet looking 100% real if it meant the actor's performance was better. Rubeo also talked about the ideas for the helmet, saying that it was inspired by "old comic books" so it could have a "vintage feeling" to it. She added that they "didn't want to hide too much of (Portman's) eyes and her features:" The film featured Chris Hemsworth returning as Thor to take on [Christian Bale's Gorr the God Butcher](https://thedirect.com/article/christian-bale-marvel-villain-voldemort-harry-potter), who was trying to enact his revenge on all of the gods after the death of his daughter.
