This was better than Thor4 or Quantumania. Good action, chemistry, and a decent story.

Disney+ probably isn't helping. not being able to do promo work due to the strike didn't help, either.

> This was better than Thor4

Chris Hemsworth

Christian Bale

Tessa Thompson

Jaimie Alexander

Taika Waititi

Russell Crowe

Natalie Portman

Shoot... they even cut scenes with talents like Jeff Goldblum (Grandmaster), Peter Dinklage (Eitri) and Lena Headey.

Not remotely comparable.

Despite having all of that talent Thor 4 was a dud of a movie.

If big names meant good movies then netflix would be making the definitive best films and television shows in history

I feel like, completely anecdotally, Disney+ is a pretty big factor, here. Maybe not in it being so much lower, but I get a free subscription to the service through something else, so I have no motivation to go see Marvel/Star Wars/Disney movies at the theater, when I can just watch them at home a few weeks or months later. I’d have done the same in the first round, if it’d been a frictionless option.
