## Resource

This week we seek to answer the fundamental question about Thor: Love And Thunder - is it CRINGE or is it FUN? To do this we’ll take you behind-the-scenes on the making of Love & Thunder, how Marvel Studio healed the rift with Natalie Portman, the HUGE salary pocketed by Chris Hemsworth, the characters and scenes cut from the movie, the Anti-Gay Axis Powers that banned the film, Matt Damon breaking COVID rules to take his family on an Australian holiday, and how the world reacted to the 4th Thor film! Then we'll take you behind-the-page on Thor's waning comic book popularity over the years, and how the character was shot back to relevance by Jason Aaron's incredible 8 year run on the character that featured Gorr The God Butcher, and Jane Foster becoming The Mighty Thor! Then it’s time to get ready for a FIIIIIIIIIIGHT! This movie has split Rob and WIll right down the middle, so it's time for us to go 10 Rounds as we pull the movie apart scene-by-scene and deliver all our reactions and opinions! We’ll also bring you tons of Marvel history and trivia on Zeus, Hercules, the Gods Of Olympus, the backstory of Gorr The God Butcher, the Necrosword, how it's all tied to Knull The King In Black, the time-spanning adventures of The Three Thors, the multiverse-wrecking God Bomb, how Thor became unworthy, and how Jane Foster gained the powers of a god!
