It’s been a few weeks since an exciting teaser was released for the upcoming Marvel film Thor: Love and Thunder. Now finally we have the official trailer of the movie revealing the cast with their unique powers. The trailer has got a huge response from the fans in a really short period. We watch Chris Hemsworth, our beloved character Thor reunites with his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who will take on the mantle of Mighty Thor in the film.
The trailer teases Thor and Jane’s humorous exchanges, some lavish fantasy world-building, and Bale’s intense performance, with the hit Guns N’ Roses song Sweet Child O’ Mine playing in the background, just like it did in the teaser. The trailer also revealed the villain’s first look as Gorr The God Butcher.
Thor trailer released on Tuesday has got all the fans super excited. But the character that has caught the attention most is Gorr The God Butcher. The fans got the first look at Christian Bale as the villainous Gorr the God Butcher. A lot of criticism is coming to light regarding this character as it is not similiar to the comic one.
New Gorr The God Butcher Is Not Looking Like The Comics And Fans Are Pissed
The brand new trailer of ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ released on Monday, May 23, introduced Marvel fans to probably one of the scariest villains of the Marvel Universe – Gorr the God Butcher. Christian Bale’s scary looks with haunting yellow eyes quickly got the internet’s attention.
Many praised the actor for his looks who is also known as the master of disguise. There are a huge number of fans who liked the comic version of the character. And to be honest the look MCU has portrayed is nowhere similar to that. Let’s have a look at some fan reactions who are really upset with this look of Gorr the God Butcher.
This is genuinely worse than the original Sonic design the fans rallied against and made the studio change. If we flip out enough will you give us this @MarvelStudios pic.twitter.com/buyUKYpiJg

People saying "Of course Gorr doesn't look like he does in the comics! Why would they hire Christian Bale just to slap some CGI over his face!?" clearly haven't seen examples of it done well. I present to you Davy Jones… pic.twitter.com/PUNX25shI9

New Character Trolled Bad On Social Media
There are always different sides to every story. Unlike some fans who didn’t like the look of the villain, some fans absolutely loved their Gorr The God Butcher.
Look, Bales probably gonna nail the role regardless of how he looks…
But would making the alien character look less like an actually fricken alien really enhance the performance in any way? Would adding his little lekkus and taking away the nose really hinder anything?— Dakota Wayne Nelson (@DakotaWayneNels) May 24, 2022

I was surprised a while ago when I heard about Bale being Gorr, and seeing him is mind blowing

On the other side, there are some fans who are trolling and making memes of the character. However, Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher soon got on the wrong side as many trolled him for looking like Voldemort and Marilyn Manson.
Reacting to Christian Bale’s looks, one user stated, “Christian Bale’s Gorr looks like the lovechild of Voldemort and Uncle Fester.”

Another chimed in, “Hearing and even seeing Christian Bale in an MCU movie is so f**king surreal, even if he looks like an even sicklier voldemort. To me I just hear bruce wayne or patrick bateman threatening thor.”
