I love that Love and Thunder completely ignored toxic masculinity and acknowledged that Thor was dealing with some really heavy shit and that it’s okay for men to admit to/release their emotions, that it’s okay for them to be broken and lost because anyone would feel that. Just one of the reasons this movie was an absolute gem.

I hate the way Love and Thunder wasted beautiful designs for the Guardians.
like Mantis was so. Freaking. Pretty!! Her hair was more green and the outfit and the headpiece! Ugh she was beautiful!
Peter and Kraglin’s outfits just felt like tributes. Their long red trench coats and Peters having the blue stripe was just a great design on them. Especially considering Peter usually does a shorter jacket and Krag does the full jumpsuit.
Nebulas suit seemed pretty normal but I haven’t looked in a while b
Rockets suit was pretty cool but nothing tops his Endgame outfit.
And then there’s Drax. Just pants 😆

Since I’m on a Thor Love and Thunder kick and a sucker for angst, here are some Jane Foster’s funeral headcanons
Valkyrie was waiting for Thor’s arrival, and was there to support him when he returned to New Asgard without Jane.
Thor is in a bit of shock, not exactly sure what to do with Love combined with the loss of Jane.
He’s only been to one earth funeral, so he has a general idea of what needs to be done.
Val offers to get Love settled so Thor can do what he has to. She soon gains that title of Aunt Val.
The first one he goes to see is Doctor Erik Selvig.
Erik is shocked to see him at first, he hasn’t seen Thor in 8 years. Then he realizes what happened when he sees Thor’s grim expression.
He invites Thor in for a cup of tea
The two sit in silence for a bit before Thor extends an invite to her memorial in New Asgard.
He leaves not long after.
Thor then goes and sees Jane’s other family members. He lets them know of the arrangements and to let anyone else know.
Except for one more person he has to see.
Darcy knows something is up when Jane misses her treatment.
She pays attention to the news and her phone as the days pass with no response from her best friend.
By day 3 Darcy goes to Jane’s home/lab and finds a book on Norse mythology left open.
She laughs to herself, now knowing that Jane is in good hands.
She’s watching TV when a sudden thunder storm begins outside her house, the rain beating down on her roof violently.
She knows what happened before she even opened the door. Only one thing could cause a storm this dark.
At the actual funeral…
Many show up at the memorial. Scientists from all around the world, friends, colleagues and family.
Funerals are for the living.
Pepper Potts shows up, Morgan Stark in tow.
She offers her condolences, and some single parenting advice.
They understand each other in a way.
Morgan sits with Love, showing her the best toys Earth has to offer.
Bruce Banner arrives as well. Thor doesn’t even notice that he’s no longer smart hulk.
An elderly man no one pays attention to sits in the back.
A white figure floats in the mountainside, trying to understand one of his creator’s feeling of grief.
Jimmy Woo arrives alone.
He motions to the sky when Darcy greets him.
He stands next to her the entire service. Offering his support as much as possible.
Erik gives a speech about Jane’s brilliance, how she was a fighter until the end.
Valkyrie explains that New Asgard will dedicate a statue to The Mighty Thor in honor of her bravery when saving the children.
Darcy covers a snort at the name.
Later that night, Thor gets drunk after Love is asleep.
He decides he must honor Jane with a tattoo as well.
This isn’t the only version of him with the tattoo.

Val: Flirting with girls is so much harder as a girl I swear to god
Thor : I'm sure you're exaggerating
Val: Watch
Val: *obviously checks out another girl* Girl you're so fine, do you like girls?
Girl: Yes of course I'm a feminist :)
Val: SEE??

I genuinely don’t get the all the “criticism” for Love and Thunder. To me, it was absolutely everything I could’ve asked for and more. It was well written, both in plot and character arcs. It was funny, emotional, heart warming and breaking, and also a bit scary at times. It had so many layers but it was still so FUN. Visually stunning and attention grabbing. It gave representation that didn’t feel forced or like it was a “hey we’re diverse” card, it just felt natural and in character. It carried its own story beautifully while setting up greatness for the future of the mcu (spoiler: imo I think big potential for Love being a young avenger member). There’s just so much nitpicking I could do in praise but I’m being general right now. In my personal opinion, it’s flawless and my new favorite marvel movie. I know everyone has different opinions and tastes, so some might have some dislikes. However, I think this movie was objectively good and enjoyable overall. And Taikia (as well as the writers) did a great job catering to all sides of the mcu audience, pleasing all the different kinds of fans (like the ‘dude bros’ but also us tumblrinas). I just- it’s so amazing to me
