Marvel’s latest movie was released on July 6 and has been popular among the masses…
But fans have noticed something the producers missed.
While ex-lovers Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman teamed up for the superhero movie, part of the plot seemed to have left fans on the edge…
Don’t worry, there’s no awkwardness, it is just one particular scene.
And that’s one which included Natalie Portman…
Part of the plot included scenes of Portman’s character, Jane Foster, undergoing treatment for stage four cancer.
But there seems to be some concerns about showing the chemotherapy treatment that has left fans distraught…
Fans said the filmmakers should have added a “trigger warning” at the beginning of the movie, as the “graphic depiction” of the therapy was awfully disturbing.
And they didn’t hold back from slamming the makers for it.
“No spoilers, but Thor: Love and Thunder SHOULD have had a trigger warning for graphic depiction of cancer and the fact that we didn’t know going in is atrocious,” said one Twitter user.
Another suggested fans do some “googling on the plot” before watching the movie, as it is quite disturbing.
While some had strong views on the matter, others had mixed opinions…
“Both my mother & a close friend battled cancer a couple years ago. Thor’s desire to protect Jane & Jane’s struggle to keep fighting really hit home. I think we all needed to hear a story like this.” wrote one fan.
Since then, fans have started praising the makers…
As one particular scene made the LGBTQI+ community jump in happiness.
And although we all secretly want it to be Chris Hemsworth, it’s not…
The movie is said to include a scene of two characters, Korg and Valkyrie, who share a “special handshake,” just after it revealed that Korg was also raised by two fathers.
And it’s not just that…
A scene towards the end of the film showed “Korg being happily paired with a male-appearing character” who he apparently shared baby Kronan with…
This signaled to fans that he is obviously “part of the LGBTQ+ community,” LADbible reports.
The depiction of a gay character in a Marvel movie has caused a riot of happiness on social media too…
“SPOILER ALERT KORGS GAY! JUST WATCHED THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER! KORG AND VALKYRIE ARE,” wrote one excited fan on Twitter.
“#ThorLoveAndThunder spoilers. I thought it would be a little more gay than it actually was but WE GOT CONFIRMED BI VALKYRIE AND GAY KORG,” said another fan.
And of course, the makers have noticed a sharp rise in people booking tickets to watch the movie. It has been rated at 67% on Rotten Tomatoes.
