The actor admitted that he went too silly with the film and said that he did not stick the landing.
Chris Hemsworth had his career-defining role in 2011 with the MCU film Thor. Since then, the actor has been in multiple Marvel films, playing the God of Thunder. While the actor has also appeared in films such as Extraction and Snow White and the Huntsman, he became a worldwide star and one of the highest-paid actors with the Thor and Avengers films.
However, the fourth solo film in the franchise, Thor: Love and Thunder was not as well-received as its predecessors. Despite being a commercial success, the film was criticized for its shoddy VFX and writing. Hemsworth has now come out and taken responsibility for the film’s disappointing response.
Chris Hemsworth Claims Responsibility For The Criticisms Of Thor: Love and Thunder
Actor Chris Hemsworth and director Taika Waititi reunited after the success of Thor: Ragnarok with the fourth film in the franchise. The third film was a huge success and redefined the character of Thor. It was a welcome tonal shift for the character and Waititi’s brand of humor seemed to work well for the film and the MCU.
However, Thor: Love and Thunder, faced criticism from fans and critics alike, with many pointing out the shoddy VFX and writing. The film boasted a talented cast such as Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, Christian Bale, and Russell Crowe. The film was also criticized for its tonal inconsistencies and for overdoing the humor (via ScreenRant).
Chris Hemsworth has mentioned on multiple occasions that he has been hearing the criticisms leveled against the film and that he admits they went too silly with the film. The actor recently claimed responsibility for its failure to impress fans. He also reportedly expressed his disappointment with how his character was treated in the MCU. He said in an interview with Vanity Fair,
“I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself. I didn’t stick the landing…Sometimes I felt like a security guard for the team. I would read everyone else’s lines, and go, ‘Oh, they got way cooler stuff. They’re having more fun. What’s my character doing?’…Yeah, I’m part of this big thing, but I’m probably pretty replaceable.”
The actor has mentioned publicly his dream to work with more acclaimed directors and move out of his action hero persona. He has mentioned feeling terrible when he was not called by filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, and Quentin Tarantino.
Fans Defend Chris Hemsworth And Blame Taika Waititi For Thor: Love and Thunder

Chris Hemsworth has opened up about the criticisms laid upon Thor: Love and Thunder on previous occasions. Though the film earned over $760 million at the box office, fans seemed to be disappointed with the treatment of the character and its over-reliance on the brand of humor that made Thor: Ragnarok a success.
Hemsworth mentioned to GQ that he heard criticisms from his son’s friends as well and admitted that they went too silly with the film. He said,
“It’s a bunch of eight-year-olds critiquing my film. ‘We thought this one had too much humor, the action was cool but the VFX weren’t as good’…I think we just had too much fun. It just became too silly. I love the process, it’s always a ride. But you just don’t know how people are going to respond.”
Though Hemsworth has taken responsibility for the failure of the film, fans seem to have found the real culprit. Marvel fans were quick to defend Hemsworth after he admitted that they did not stick the landing with Thor: Love and Thunder and went on to blame director Taika Waititi for not doing a good job.
Oh no what happened to all the "It was fun stop hating!" People from when it released? I guess how that the actor admitted it their grift is over on that front

Literally my favorite MCU movie not including endgame. Literally. Literally. Literally. Yes Thor was kinda off as a character but look at what the character went through by this point.
