Seeing Russell Crowe in L&T felt pretty bizarre to me, and I couldn’t wait for his scenes to conclude whereas Goldblum’s portrayal as Grandmaster just came off naturally.That's tough, Hela shattering Mjonir and giving all of Asgard the work was
They seemed pretty equal to me. I think it just the fact that you're seeing the same characters doing the same humor a second time causes it to lose it's magic. Guardians 2 had this same issue. How many comedy sequels are better than the originals? They usually work best as one offs because they inherently have diminishing returns and require new takes. Taika's style is not meant for doing 4 or 5 MCU movies like Russo's or something.
See, I enjoyed Crowe's Zeus, it oozed arrogance just as you would expect from someone in that position but with none of the gravity. Watching Thor experience "Don't meet your heroes" in realtime was also an important story point, showing his personal growth since this was the guy he modeled himself after.
Either way, he was only in the film for a few minutes so I guess it doesn't matter.

Read the tweet: it says cancer and children being kidnapped were serious issues. However the tone of the movie, considerably downplayed the severity of said issues.

And I am saying the movie didn't have just one tone. While mostly comedic it had serious moments.
There were about three scenes where the let the moment ride for a little while without jokes, but i wouldn't say they were serious.
Idk breh this movie is more Spaceballs than Star Wars.
