Will this flop hard like other recent Woke movies?

Will the story of Thor's replacement by a tiny little woman be next to follow the tradition of fail of Ghostbusters, Terminator Dark Fate and Charlie's Angels?

No. The mouse always wins

The mouse has been resting on laurels past years. 2019, Marvel cycle is done, Star Wars is done, and live-actions remakes are almost done.

The last original Big Thing they were able to produce was Frozen, in 2013. Next year (and the following ones) are gonna be hard for the mouse.

The last "Thor" movie made twice as much as the first one, so the trends are against you.

As for the tiny little woman replacing Hemsworth, my understanding is that it's temporary. It was temporary in the comics, and it'll be even more temporary in a 2-hour movie. 1 hour tops, with Thor himself roaring back in the last act.

Partly because that's what Thor movie audiences will pay to see, and partly because Hemsworth is a good Marvel worker bee, and Portman is box-office poison. They won't replace Hemsworth.

There is some speculation that Jane Foster's Thor may also appear in CM3. If that is to be the case then the story-arc for Jane Foster may just cross over three films which would be appropriate given the comic journey towards her eventual demise from Cancer and using Mjolnir.

Regardless, Jane Foster is not replacing Thor Odinson.

Previous Thor movie was a massive hit and this will be made by the same director.

They are going full on woke with this thing, though, following the path of the comic book by declaring the male Thor unworthy and making the character female. If it does poorly, that really doesn't bode well for movies that are considered "woke".

A Marvel movie flop hard? LOL I really doubt it. The worst MCU movie was probably Iron Man 2 and even that was mediocre and still made plenty.

No, and Thor’s not being replaced

I don't give a crap if it's woke or sound asleep. I just pray that this moronic age of comic book movies will soon end. So f'ing sick of this kind of dreck.

Lots of other movies getting made, just watch those. Not liking comic book movies, yet taking time to time to a comic book movie message board seems counter intuitive.

I will not pay for woke movies.

I will watch pirate versions if I want to watch it.

Taika Waititi has a pretty good track record. He's no dummy.

Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't go full on with the wokeness. We could still have some heroic, likeable male characters, attractive females, maybe even a little hetero romance.

He's a very skilled director, but he's gone full woke last months.

Faith is a tricky thing. No matter how smart you are, it shuts down your ability to think. Literally. Human brain is designed to prioritize faith and beliefs over thought and intelligence. And wokeness has become the mainstream trendy new religion.

He's no dummy, but a strong faith makes you dummy.
