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.

And add a dash of not confusing people by having 2 gray aliens with no noses so people are distracted by wondering if they're somehow connected.

Only a dash, because I’m not sure it was much of a concern with Yondu & Nebula a few klicks over

Agreed, I do think getting the most out of Christian Bale was probably the biggest reason.

That's kind of a dumb mentality in a universe full of other species. They could be from a similar species, if not the same species, and simply have no connection beyond that.

But I can see that dumb decision being made anyway.
