    The Resolution was . . .. lacking.
    There were more options available . . .the resolution was insane

    What were Gorr's other options and which one would have been better for his daughter?

    That is the major question
    IF you get 1 million women
    and lose 1 million men . . .
    zero sum
    however
    If you get 1 million woman
    but lose 2 million men . . .. . . not good
    Saying well men should be more open . . .won't change that fact . . .it is what it is

    He could have wish for he and her to live.
    He could have wished his people back with water
    He could have wished for anything . .

    He saw Thor was a hero. Willing to save and empower children. He showed up. Other Gods did not. The Gorr that made the decision was not cursed. The Gorr that battled Thor was. The dude didn't have any friends or even species left. Natalie Portman said it would be coo, and how can you not trust those gorgeous smokey eyes?

    Yall cray

    Agree but….
    he was just possessed by an evil sword and dying. Not the best situation to ace a test or think abstractly.

    Well not every Marvel movie or series will have men as their primary audience.

    I think Marvel needs to do a better job of differentiating its products for its audiences because there are a lot of sissy boys who don't like change.

    I disagree. If you bring men's wives into the fanbase, it's value add and a stronger selling point. Then the family watches the movies together, etc.

    My wife is already a unicorn because she likes action and comic movies, but selling most plebian females on Marvel is a good idea.

    Maybe Thor hanging out with the Guardians Of The Galaxy rubbed off on him. It felt like an animated Disney movie brought to live action.
    I was not bored tho so that's good.

    I don’t think Disney cares if they lose the Tinmans of the world as customers.

    Haven't these arguments been tested with the WNBA? Women don't go to the games. The women that do, can't drag men to them. Women willingly go to NBA games. Maybe there's something about super fit giant men in shorts and tank tops that appeals to them.

    Maybe there's something about fit male superheros that appeals to them. We haven't really seen a truly women's version of a men's superhero, have we? That'll be the experiment that will test if women will buy women's superheroes and if men will go along with it.

    The Kids getting Thor Powers
    did kind of give the DisNey channel feel to the scene
    Esp the Lethal Bunny

    I don't think Female Thor or Valkarie were horrible
    not great either
    Hell . . I didn't think Thor or korg was great either
    It was kind of middle of the road very safe movie
    I mean Korg dies but not really . ..
    I was like .. man. . .way to take all the weight out of the moment
    of course what does that mean for all the others of his "race" that were supposedly killed
    Bah . . it will be fine (Critical Drinker tm)

    Ending with GirlDad Thor was meh
    inconsequential and does not bode well for the next movie IMO

    We will have to wait and see.

    I don't mind these movies. I don't get upset at the sand when I go to the beach.

    I don't think having a female co-star for 1 movie in a series of 4 that will at least be 5 is analogous to having an all-female league. If there are 5 movies, then that means in 4 of them there will be 1 male Thor, and in 1 there will be 1 male Thor + 1 female Thor. It's not some huge cultural shift.

    Agreed. I didn’t consider that. Maybe they'll never go full WNBA and are comfortable to find a middle ground and get more fans than they lose.

    So they are basically 1 for 4. But not piss poor. Yet missing their standard.

    Except that didn't happen. The opportunity is for girl audience. The dudes aren't going anywhere.

    That is like saying they shouldn't done black panther or shang chi because it alienated the majority white boy audience.
