Thor: Love and Thunder/YMMV
These things about Thor: Love and Thunder are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
- Acceptable Targets: Though Hellenism is not extinct (and Greece does recognize it as an official religion) and in theory this is an adaptation, many people think it is, and even so the remaining adepts are likely not much more than a few thousand, with there being those who attack it for not being real Hellenism anyway. As such, using Zeus as a Hate Sink villain smells of using a safe target for general attacks on religion.
- Signature Scene: The scene where it's revealed New Asgard has an ice cream parlor called "Infinity Conez" it's one of the most discussed scene of the movie thanks to demonstrating visually the movie's twisted sense of humor: it's a establishment who uses the imagery of a weapon that killed half of all known life, even if temporarily, and very probably caused a few more deaths out of suicide of people who lost by average half of their loved ones at once. Even disregarding that, the Asgardians had been massacred into half by Thanos, what makes even more un-realistic they would accept a reminder of the madman. Many critics compared to opening a 9/11 themed restaurant on New York(and 9/11 proportionally killed way less people on New York than what Thanos did to Asgardians).
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Peter's father was an a-hole of a god(like Cosmic Entity) and his mother died of cancer. You'd think these commonalities would have been perfect fodder for interactions with the theocidal Gorr and dying-of-cancer fellow Earthling Jane, right? Except no, he and the rest of the Guardians go away early on without meeting with said characters.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Zeus saying that the gods are safe in Omnipotence City because Gorr can't find it seems like the perfect setup for a Tempting Fate moment, but Gorr doesn't get to prove him wrong.
- What Do You Mean It's Not Political?: Even if no major active religion's gods are mentioned and Gorr is the villain, many criticized the Omnipotence City's subplot as supremely anti-theistic and anti-religion, like out of an atheistic deranged Author Tract, as gods are mostly portrayed as indifferent and inactive to their believers, if not outright taking advantage of them. To make it worse, the Sequel Hook hints Zeus will be the villain of future Marvel installments anyway.
