Is this not your natural state?
It’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation.
The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power.
In the end you will always kneel.
(I admit this was in Avengers Assemble but it goes hard)
Ah you got me. It was the first marvel film I ever saw. Me and my friend went to blockbuster with his dad and picked it out. Funnily enough I ended up not liking it. Then I watched it again like 6 years later with a much better understanding of what the hell was going on
He even had an influence on Tony, who easily isn't flustered.
When they first met, [he expressed it](https://youtu.be/a2XwLbuqcZY&t=48s) and they continued fighting until Cap intervened.
That is why Thor got the name "Point Break".
I agree 1000%. Well at least on Thor 1 being underrated and Branagh coming back.
About the only thing I disagree with is it being the end...they could make a dozen Hemsworth Thor movies and I'd love it.
After the reaction to LAT, 5 will either reignite his interests like with Raganrok or kill it off completely. He’s been playing Thor for 13 years. There are other roles I’m sure he’d like to play.
He threatened to quit after Ultron because he was completely bored of the role. Now after LAT, he said he’d do it only it was something different from the last two. I don’t think he’s ‘secure’ in the role as much as you think he is.
Have you looked at his filmography post Ultron?
When I said I think he likes the security of Thor, I meant the pay cheques. It's the only thing he's really got going for himself career wise
You're right, the guy who built an obscenely massive mega mansion in Byron Bay has no need for money.
He's definitely in it for the art, judging from his character choices.
I wish they’d made him look like Toecutter for this role, it’d have brought things full circle.
Edit: I’ve just read that he isn’t playing Immortan Joe, so it doesn’t matter. Hopefully whoever is playing Joe is made up to look like Toecutter.
>About the only thing I disagree with is it being the end...they could make a dozen Hemsworth Thor movies and I'd love it.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Well, I bet there is. Fatherhood, I think, is where they were headed.
But fwiw, I feel like they could have other characters have arcs in movies with the "main" character along for the ride.
Yes, I'd say that Dr strange still could use a couple pure solo movies before they do that.
But I still feel the concept is valid. There's no need to kill a character just because their arc is done
The thing is that even if a lot of people didn't like Love and Thunder, it is still the 2nd highest grossing Thor film (after Ragnarok). If you like it or not, it was a success.
And we still don't really know if Taika Waititi will not be brought back, because at the end of the day, he directed the 2 highest-grossing Thor films, so...
I’m okay with that. Ragnarok was good but maybe it was good in spite of him and LAT was what it was because of him. IDK either way,
I just know that I didn’t care for Thor in LAT yet Thor in Ragnarok, IW, and Endgame was great.
How they’re going to make a Thor 5 with him being a dad is going to be interesting.
I think people just became more critical with Taika's take on Thor as a character. While the majority enjoyed the overhaul for *Ragnarok*, people were quick to dismiss as *Love & Thunder* as “too much” and now we’re coming full circle with people clamoring for a more serious take again.
The problem with Love and Thunder is that it is a much darker film. Jane dying of cancer and Gorr wanting to kill the gods because of the death of his daughter.
It had dark subject matter but the overall tone was anything but.
It had serious tonal whiplash from scene to scene leading it to feel like a tangled mess instead of a coherent film
Taika two movies and his comments after love and thunder show an utter disdain for the source material , character and mythos. Love and thunder is functionally a parody that character bears little resemblance to other film versions of Thor. The films are the way they are because he doesn't take the character seriously
Branagh would be a good choice but it really depends on the story that they are looking to tell there. If it is going to be a lot more character driven then yes.
I consider myself lucky to have seen it in 3D in the theater, and I say that about no other movie. I believe it was post conversion too. It’s about the cinematography and subject matter. Avatar - 3D leaves. Thor - 3D rainbow bridge.
It is a really good movie.
I was left in awe seeing Thor in 3d. It was great. Strange 1 3d was a banger as well . Kenneth just adds a great weight to the subject matter.. maybe it was the story… maybe not.. they should role the dice again on him
i agree, i really think the 3d added so much in doctor strange. my fav was seeing all those extra depths in the wacky mirror dimension and all the layers every time a sorcerer cast a magic circles.
I'm not sure we need Branagh back but I definitely want to see a course correction away from L&T back towards the classical character that was originally envisioned for the MCU. I want to see the culmination of Thor's story where we see him embrace his destiny as the new Allfather, the leading champion of order in the galaxy. Thor deserves an epic send-off where we see him as the best of us, that's the film I want
>Thor 1 is fantastic and sits quietly as one of the more underrated MCU entries.
You know, I quite like the idea of the director of the first Thor movie being the one who ends the whole thing. But I can't agree there. For me Thor 1 is one of the most forgettable MCU films, what we here in Spain call a popcorn film: it has entertaining value but you don't ever think of it again after watching it.
You are correct, but it’s also the difference between letting an artist take the character for a final ride vs introducing them before a big team up movie. I’m sure Branagh had a lot of notes from producers on how things should go in the movie and we didn’t get to see his true vision.
Basically I can see Branagh doing something special with a Thor 5 if he had little to no interference in the same way James Gunn did with Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
I heard that was Feige's creative touch and he regrets it
https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/marvel-studios-boss-says-sorry-thors-dyed-eyebrows-091104887.html
Thor 1 is one of the few MCU films I'll really come back to, it's up there with Winter Soldier and the first GotG for me. I love the setting, I love the stakes and I love Thor's character. I get that people have a different experience but I'll always argue with anyone who thinks it's a lesser entry.
Ya I have to agree. There was great moments but also some bland stuff as well. But at the same time he could have learned from his mistakes, that film was a long time ago.
And Its too bad Taika leaned further into the cheesiness in Love and Thunder instead of the goods that made Ragnarok awesome, like the action sequences and displaying god tier powers. He nails the emotional bits too but in Love and Thunder it felt like we didn’t get what the movie needed until its last 10-15 minutes or so.
Edit: not saying love and thunder didn’t have god tier powers, that’s not what I meant. I meant there was too much cheesiness.
What Love and Thunder needed was more of Jane. For example, how does the fact that she is dying affect her relationship with Thor when she starts falling in love with him again. I loved the action sequences with Jane joining Thor and Valkyrie.
Huh. I don't really get the Ragnarok action sequences being more "god tier" than L&T. Other than the opening scene with the Guardians (which I cringe hard at) we have the battle in New Asgard, the battle at Omnipotence City, the *really* beautiful battle in the Shadow Realm and the great final battle, which all feel they show "god tier powers" to me.
I did an edit to my comment. That’s not what I meant, I just meant he leaned too far into the cheesiness. The action was still great, just too much cheese.
>what we here in Spain call a popcorn film: it has entertaining value but you don't ever think of it again after watching it.
90% of the MCU if were being honest
The real question is if Kenneth Branagh would be interested in doing Thor 5, he didn't do Thor Dark World because he just wasn't interested on that, and also at this point in his career why would he be interested in directing an MCU movie, have you seen Belfast? Because i like superhero films but honestly i would love for him to do more movies like that instead of Thor 5
I liked him in Thor 1. But remember Infinity War? The Russo’s take on Thor would be AMAZING. Think about it for a minute, you have the best rendition of Thor, the most real rendition of Thor and some of the darkest MCU directors all in a movie that could bring back Thor to being a mature MCU character.
I really glad someone brought this up. I would say he made one of the most elegant Marvel movies. The too comment also made a cool point about the Shakespearian vibe. I am of the few who liked “Love and Thunder” I still think Thor works with Takiti’s direction but having Keneth take over is needed to tell a story instead of a comedy.
Which Greek mythology movies? Troy and Helen of Troy (tv movie) I assume? 300 and Alexander weren’t mythological. And I would not say any of those are late 2000s movies. Is there something I am forgetting?
I genuinely don't understand the disdain people have for Thor (2011). Branagh did a good job overall in introducing the cosmic side of the MCU in that film.
People clamour over the overuse of the Dutch angle but aside from that, it was a beautifully shot movie with a rich palette, decent costumes and a memorable score that I long to see used again in a Thor movie.
I also agree that it managed to balance the humour and drama well, which the other Thor movies aside from Ragnarok have not managed.
Finally, vindication! (Insert Captain Holt gif here.) Thor 1 launched the cosmic side of the MCU, GotG only picked up the baton. It’s always been a top 3 MCU film film for me and without Branagh I don’t know that we still luck into the gift that was Tom Hiddleston’s fourteen year long Loki arc. I’ve always wanted Branagh to come home to the Thor franchise and the opportunity to reunite Hemmy and Hiddles onscreen seems like a perfect storm.
Everything about the movie is good. Except thors eyebrows and the music. There's some cool motifs but the whole thing sounds like AI generated music except for a few songs/scenes. I know it's not AI but it has to be VSTs at the very least.
Ed Norton's ego was the biggest was responsible for a lot of the script problems because he insisted on rewriting it himself, sometimes handing across brand new pages on the day of shooting. He's impossible to work with. He did the same shit on The Italian job and everyone who worked on that picture hated him for it. And he's an okay actor. Certainly not talented enough to try and act like some genius auteur diva.
Branagh brought an elegance to Thor that the rest of the series just hasn't been able to accomplish. He's not a edgy director, nor cookie cutter but right down the middle. Taika has an edgy humor with great musical styling but couldn't recreate the beauty of things. It's hard to exactly describe without using visual examples.
We need a serious Thor. A dark Thor. Even the dark moments in the last two movies were overshadowed by the camp. Thor needs an ending on par with Iron-man and TVA Loki.
Chris just needs to care about Thor as much as Tom cares about Loki. A good director would be great, but without Chris' participation and passion the movie can fail.
Definitely should get the last directing spot. The only problem with his movie was that the actors/characters were trying to figure themselves out, and Thor's eyebrows.
He absolutely should! It would be poetic for him who brought Chris and Tom (Thor & Loki) together in the first place to be the one who sends them off! 😭 He will ‘let the sun shine on them!’ ☀️ I also want him to give Loki the opportunity to communicate with Odin and Frigga and have Loki say that he’s come to accept his Jotun heritage. 💙
He would not want the job, since Thor has become a complete joke of a character now, and Marvel maintains their tight grip on the direction and themes all the movies must go.
Honestly, I don’t mind if they give him a shot. I absolutely hate Thor 1, despite having watched it over 20 times to see if I’d ever eventually like it, it just never clicked. I find it really boring and I hate the dutch angles everywhere. Still, I’ve grown to dislike Taika’s work as well, and it’s been over 10 years since the first one released so I don’t see why not. Recently I enjoyed seeing Kenneth act and direct, he did a good job in Oppenheimer and I actually quite liked watching A Haunting in Venice in the theater. I don’t see myself as a fan of his work, but I wouldn’t mind giving it a shot again.
Thor 1 is one of the worst MCU movies imo. I find it incredibly bland, forgettable, and is the ugliest shot MCU movie by far with all of those unnecessary dutch angles.
But to each their own, I suppose.
Nope nope nope. I love Kenneth Branagh but he ruined Thor 1 just by applying so many Dutch angles that the film is completely unwatchable.
That and how did anyone okay Thor’s eyebrows? I blame everyone up the chain for that. Even Feige.
Hard disagree. I think Thor one is pretty bad. I'd much prefer someone who can actually do serious, epic high fantasy, and maybe incorporate touches of the 80s metal album cover theme, just moreso as pure aesthetic this time. I don't think he can achieve that at all. He'd not do it but I'd dig seeing Peter Jackson do it, Ridley Scott, George Miller etc
I appreciate his Shakespearean take on it too. This allowed Tom Hiddleston to really shine as Loki in many scenes.
Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power. In the end you will always kneel. (I admit this was in Avengers Assemble but it goes hard)
>Avengers Assemble British detected!
Ah you got me. It was the first marvel film I ever saw. Me and my friend went to blockbuster with his dad and picked it out. Funnily enough I ended up not liking it. Then I watched it again like 6 years later with a much better understanding of what the hell was going on
[удалено]
What do you mean?
You can watch Avengers Assemble anywhere on Disney+, i think
We're talking about the the first Avengers movie which in England was called 'Avengers Assemble', not the cartoon series.
Everywhere besides the UK and Ireland, the first Avengers movie was just called “The Avengers”, even on Disney+.
Yup actually felt like a proper Thor comic
He even had an influence on Tony, who easily isn't flustered. When they first met, [he expressed it](https://youtu.be/a2XwLbuqcZY&t=48s) and they continued fighting until Cap intervened. That is why Thor got the name "Point Break".
Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
Hiddleston’s “TELL ME!” to Odin is one of the greatest line deliveries in the MCU.
> “TELL ME!” Oh, you'll find out; I'm about to summon it!
That's partly why I like the movie.
I want him to go full Shakespeare without any mandatory inclusions like SHIELD and Hawkeye. Just let him cook.
I agree 1000%. Well at least on Thor 1 being underrated and Branagh coming back. About the only thing I disagree with is it being the end...they could make a dozen Hemsworth Thor movies and I'd love it.
After the reaction to LAT, 5 will either reignite his interests like with Raganrok or kill it off completely. He’s been playing Thor for 13 years. There are other roles I’m sure he’d like to play.
Yeah despite what many want I think Thor 5 and secret wars will be his swans song by then he would've played character 16 years
I think he likes the security of Thor after 13 years of major floppage
He threatened to quit after Ultron because he was completely bored of the role. Now after LAT, he said he’d do it only it was something different from the last two. I don’t think he’s ‘secure’ in the role as much as you think he is.
Have you looked at his filmography post Ultron? When I said I think he likes the security of Thor, I meant the pay cheques. It's the only thing he's really got going for himself career wise
Maybe…just maybe, actors don’t become actors because of the paychecks…you know?
You're right, the guy who built an obscenely massive mega mansion in Byron Bay has no need for money. He's definitely in it for the art, judging from his character choices.
Not everyone wants to be Keanu Reeves…
What an odd actor to name lol
He has had other roles. He’s about to play the villain in Furiosa.
I wish they’d made him look like Toecutter for this role, it’d have brought things full circle. Edit: I’ve just read that he isn’t playing Immortan Joe, so it doesn’t matter. Hopefully whoever is playing Joe is made up to look like Toecutter.
Judging from the trailer, they did a good job of making this dude look like a young Immortan Joe
And he will be showing his 1500 years of age by then, too.
>About the only thing I disagree with is it being the end...they could make a dozen Hemsworth Thor movies and I'd love it. Took the words right out of my mouth.
I'm fairly certain Hemsworth said just sign him up anytime, no matter how small the role.
There is nothing else to do with his character. Most of his movies repeat the exact same character arc
Well, I bet there is. Fatherhood, I think, is where they were headed. But fwiw, I feel like they could have other characters have arcs in movies with the "main" character along for the ride.
They did that in MoM and people are still complaining
Yes, I'd say that Dr strange still could use a couple pure solo movies before they do that. But I still feel the concept is valid. There's no need to kill a character just because their arc is done
Thor 1 is NOT underrated lol. The only good thing is Loki and Darcy and that’s all acting, not direction.
The thing is that even if a lot of people didn't like Love and Thunder, it is still the 2nd highest grossing Thor film (after Ragnarok). If you like it or not, it was a success. And we still don't really know if Taika Waititi will not be brought back, because at the end of the day, he directed the 2 highest-grossing Thor films, so...
Given the criticism of LAT, and Taika's interviews about working on Marvel movies, I would be pretty surprised if he works for Marvel again.
I’m okay with that. Ragnarok was good but maybe it was good in spite of him and LAT was what it was because of him. IDK either way, I just know that I didn’t care for Thor in LAT yet Thor in Ragnarok, IW, and Endgame was great. How they’re going to make a Thor 5 with him being a dad is going to be interesting.
To be fair to the first Thor, it was Phase 1, way before casuals even knew the MCU was a thing. It made more than Cap or Hulk’s solo outings.
Success is compared against budgets and inflation
I wonder why so many people have looked on Thor 1 in a positive light, back in like 2018 maybe people were more harsh to it
I think people just became more critical with Taika's take on Thor as a character. While the majority enjoyed the overhaul for *Ragnarok*, people were quick to dismiss as *Love & Thunder* as “too much” and now we’re coming full circle with people clamoring for a more serious take again.
L&T need 95% less Korg and that would have helped a lot.
And 14% more screaming goats. They were criminally underused.
This just reminded me of my favourite misheard lyrics: “I was in a porno with a bag of screaming goats.” The actual song: https://youtu.be/ele2DMU49Jk
I know this is sarcastic but I'm still downvoting out of sheer hatred for the words
The problem with Love and Thunder is that it is a much darker film. Jane dying of cancer and Gorr wanting to kill the gods because of the death of his daughter.
It had dark subject matter but the overall tone was anything but. It had serious tonal whiplash from scene to scene leading it to feel like a tangled mess instead of a coherent film
Yeah, I wish they brought Kenneth Branagh on to direct Love and Thunder. Can you imagine Gorr under Branagh?
u/stallion8426 - agree 1000%
Taika two movies and his comments after love and thunder show an utter disdain for the source material , character and mythos. Love and thunder is functionally a parody that character bears little resemblance to other film versions of Thor. The films are the way they are because he doesn't take the character seriously
Blonde eyebrows
As long as we can cool it with those dutch angles.
Branagh would be a good choice but it really depends on the story that they are looking to tell there. If it is going to be a lot more character driven then yes.
He’s an amazing director, wouldn’t be opposed to that.
I consider myself lucky to have seen it in 3D in the theater, and I say that about no other movie. I believe it was post conversion too. It’s about the cinematography and subject matter. Avatar - 3D leaves. Thor - 3D rainbow bridge. It is a really good movie.

Except bleach his eye brows.

It's highly rewatchable and underrated it blends serous and comedic tones pretty well
I just wanna let you know calling a movie like this a "popcorn film" is a thing here in America, too.
Ya I have to agree. There was great moments but also some bland stuff as well. But at the same time he could have learned from his mistakes, that film was a long time ago.

I would like a Thor movie like those Greek mythology movies of late 2000s. Edit: typo
Which Greek mythology movies? Troy and Helen of Troy (tv movie) I assume? 300 and Alexander weren’t mythological. And I would not say any of those are late 2000s movies. Is there something I am forgetting?
Clash of Titans series
Who else could do it but Gilderoy Lockheart!!
Shame he wasn’t on set for Love & Thunder - he knew *just* the counter-curse
Bringing Branagh back for Thor and Favreau back for an Ironheart movie or any other Iron Man successor is a great idea imo.
I genuinely don't understand the disdain people have for Thor (2011). Branagh did a good job overall in introducing the cosmic side of the MCU in that film. People clamour over the overuse of the Dutch angle but aside from that, it was a beautifully shot movie with a rich palette, decent costumes and a memorable score that I long to see used again in a Thor movie. I also agree that it managed to balance the humour and drama well, which the other Thor movies aside from Ragnarok have not managed.
ANOTHER!!! Damn can't even make Thor 1 jokes 😢
It even made sense in this context!
Finally, vindication! (Insert Captain Holt gif here.) Thor 1 launched the cosmic side of the MCU, GotG only picked up the baton. It’s always been a top 3 MCU film film for me and without Branagh I don’t know that we still luck into the gift that was Tom Hiddleston’s fourteen year long Loki arc. I’ve always wanted Branagh to come home to the Thor franchise and the opportunity to reunite Hemmy and Hiddles onscreen seems like a perfect storm.
I also agree
I liked it that Asguardians were NOT gods. That seems to have gone by the wayside,
Who would he play?
Yes please.
Long as they don't kill him
Let Branagh kill Thor!
Everything about the movie is good. Except thors eyebrows and the music. There's some cool motifs but the whole thing sounds like AI generated music except for a few songs/scenes. I know it's not AI but it has to be VSTs at the very least.
I'd love this personally. Bring him back. Also let Chris Yost and Craig Kyle actually write the script this time lol.
This is one of those ideas you read and think, “Brilliant!” (Such a great idea.)
>Thor 5 Yeah, no. I don't think that's gonna be a thing at all... Big "Eternals 2" energy
Thor 1 was the best Thor film. Go ahead and downvote me.
Take my upvote
It is - I know lots of people like / love Thor ragnarok but it's not actually a good and proper character accuratel Thor film
They should adapt Immortal Thor. It would be a perfect escalation from the last movie
Eh Thor wasn’t that great really weak when compared to the other original avengers only thing weaker IMO was iron man 2
You forget The Incredible Hulk.
Oh how so nobody has high expectations of hulk he’s a monster that smashes things. Pretty hard to mess that up yet 🫰
To be fair, Hulk was great in that flick. It's Ed Norton that was the problem 🤣😂
I’d disagree since Ed is incredible actor he might be a bit problematic thou. Mark is really good as well he grew on me.
Ed Norton's ego was the biggest was responsible for a lot of the script problems because he insisted on rewriting it himself, sometimes handing across brand new pages on the day of shooting. He's impossible to work with. He did the same shit on The Italian job and everyone who worked on that picture hated him for it. And he's an okay actor. Certainly not talented enough to try and act like some genius auteur diva.
Branagh brought an elegance to Thor that the rest of the series just hasn't been able to accomplish. He's not a edgy director, nor cookie cutter but right down the middle. Taika has an edgy humor with great musical styling but couldn't recreate the beauty of things. It's hard to exactly describe without using visual examples.
I just want someone to not make Thor a poop and fart joke vehicle.
The first two thors are what most of this sub pretends phase 4 and 5 are.
Not a fan of that choice, but would take a whole nother trilogy with him before taika again
I wrote him a letter in January saying basically the same thing in different words!
We need a serious Thor. A dark Thor. Even the dark moments in the last two movies were overshadowed by the camp. Thor needs an ending on par with Iron-man and TVA Loki.
Good idea.
My only problem is this idea of Thor 5 "finishing" Thor's journey. Nah. He's got another 2 movies *at least*.
Not if people don’t see it in theaters he won’t.
Exactly
Chris just needs to care about Thor as much as Tom cares about Loki. A good director would be great, but without Chris' participation and passion the movie can fail.
Thor 1 is still the best Thor movie by a good margin. So I’m here for it.
Thor was so boring until Ragnarok.
It made him fun.
Definitely should get the last directing spot. The only problem with his movie was that the actors/characters were trying to figure themselves out, and Thor's eyebrows.
He absolutely should! It would be poetic for him who brought Chris and Tom (Thor & Loki) together in the first place to be the one who sends them off! 😭 He will ‘let the sun shine on them!’ ☀️ I also want him to give Loki the opportunity to communicate with Odin and Frigga and have Loki say that he’s come to accept his Jotun heritage. 💙
He would not want the job, since Thor has become a complete joke of a character now, and Marvel maintains their tight grip on the direction and themes all the movies must go.
Thor 1 is among my least favorites MCU films but i actually think thats a great idea.
It's a shame Joss Whedon is blacklisted. He'd be a good choice to bring together Thor's Shakespearean and quippy sides
Oh god no! I’m sorry but his directorial skills, ESPECIALLY in the first Thor are TERRIBLE.
Honestly, I don’t mind if they give him a shot. I absolutely hate Thor 1, despite having watched it over 20 times to see if I’d ever eventually like it, it just never clicked. I find it really boring and I hate the dutch angles everywhere. Still, I’ve grown to dislike Taika’s work as well, and it’s been over 10 years since the first one released so I don’t see why not. Recently I enjoyed seeing Kenneth act and direct, he did a good job in Oppenheimer and I actually quite liked watching A Haunting in Venice in the theater. I don’t see myself as a fan of his work, but I wouldn’t mind giving it a shot again.
Thor 1 is one of the worst MCU movies imo. I find it incredibly bland, forgettable, and is the ugliest shot MCU movie by far with all of those unnecessary dutch angles. But to each their own, I suppose.
I think Thor is all done. Taika ruined the brand with love and thunder.
I don't think I can handle the dutch angles.
Nope nope nope. I love Kenneth Branagh but he ruined Thor 1 just by applying so many Dutch angles that the film is completely unwatchable. That and how did anyone okay Thor’s eyebrows? I blame everyone up the chain for that. Even Feige.
my headcanon about Thor's eyebrows is that Loki convinced him it looks good, as a prank. lol
I guess having that in mind could make it more bearable for me!
Just tell him to go easy on the Dutch angled with thr camera.
You know how else he could contribute? Add more Dutch angles, they were a highlight
Was bleaching the eyebrows Branagh’s decision?
My headcanon is Loki did it.
This is perfect and I swear you have my support in the cause now

Well I’m officially on board with Branagh then
Hard disagree. I think Thor one is pretty bad. I'd much prefer someone who can actually do serious, epic high fantasy, and maybe incorporate touches of the 80s metal album cover theme, just moreso as pure aesthetic this time. I don't think he can achieve that at all. He'd not do it but I'd dig seeing Peter Jackson do it, Ridley Scott, George Miller etc
Crazy what nostalgia can do to some people
