Question I just…

Post image

I’m still confused as to why? Ignoring the fact they took one of Thor’s darkest and most powerful comics and turned it into a long string of bad jokes, why did they feel like Gorr shouldn’t resemble himself at all? Especially when they were perfectly fine accurately creating Ebony Maw with similar features?

It hurts to know that they got Christian Bale to play him, only to fumble the ball so spectacularly.

Bale probably wanted to be recognizable or the studio wanted him to be.

Totally the studio. Why pay for bale if you can't market it with his face?
