You're laughing. They made an ice cream pun based off a fictional world-ending event that a giant green man reversed and you're laughing.

Can we agree the Infinity Cones gag in Love and Thunder was awful

One could also consider that a part of the joke... That tacky merchandise for every tragedy imaginable would probably be sold somewhere at some point.
The incessant nit-picking, overanalyzing, and general vibe of *pushes glasses up nose* "Ackshually..." over movies intended to be dumb fun are why I just don't look at movie discourse anymore.
What the hell is with people getting so wound up by little league shit like this? Like I see it elsewhere people going like "Uhhh isn't that like making a Holocaust ice cream shop?" and I'm sitting here like WHO FUCKING CARES IT'S A GAG GET OVER IT.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Is that you, Kevin?

yeah but New Asgard is in America, so they had to adopt our ways
Did... did we annex Norway during the snap? That sucks for them.
I might be misremembering but I could have sworn it was in Wisconsin or some shit.
edit - yeah I'm not sure why I thought that. im a dumbass
In the context of the movie? Yes, I guess.. simply because half the people were gone for five years. It's different than the comic which had people brought back pretty fast. There wasn't much disruption. I would argue the comics generally are more traumatic for comic 616 humans as they have been through how many universal resets lol?
You can say that about all the other jokes in this movie.
Dear lord I thought this thread was just doing a bit. You're serious?

Tragedy is the root of all comedy. As I see it, comedy is just an outlook or perspective at our lot in life.
That's my theory why the people who have it hardest are the funniest people, at least in America. Black people, gay people, hispanics, jewish people, asians, the list goes on.
On topic: i didn't think it was particularly *funny* but i would say you are totally overreacting

Eh the gag did get a chuckle out of me, I'm just saying. Also there's literally an official piece of merchandise on it and had no idea this was a gag for L&T.

The more I think about it, the more I hate that Asgard is reduced to a tacky zoo for rich tourists to come and gape at a broken people. So many ways the Asgardians could exploit their skills, their tech, their culture, and nope just performing monkeys for cruise liners.
I get that might be what the movie was going for, but if that was the case it's all setup with no payoff. It's played for laughs, hence stuff like Infinity Cones, and there's no pathos to it. For an indigenous director, something that is analogous to an indian reservation casino played up for "well, gotta make a living lol" with a Battle of Little Big Cones ice cream shop seems pretty tone deaf.
Now a follow-up movie could absolutely redeem this by digging into the whole "is this what we have been reduced to?" turnaround of fortunes. Watching Love and Thunder I felt like I was watching the fake Ten Rings group from Iron Man 3, which was later fleshed out and improved upon by Shang-Chi. It's really not cool that the series of disasters that befell Asgard is now just fodder for some hamfisted comedy. They got decimated by Hela, then Thanos'd the old fashioned way so no return of their dead 50% as they were killed not snapped, then a bunch more must have died at the Avengers compound battle. The entire population now fits into one medium sized fishing village. Maaaaaaybe cool it on the lol so wacky humour for 5 minutes Taika?

Okay, just making sure you know so we don't overstate the fictional tragedy of people disappearing and then reappearing, as referenced in a movie trying to largely be a comedy.
This is a movie FOR CHILDREN
You can tell because there are colouring books based on it when you go into Kmart.
Lighten up, you're being weird.

Oh come on, that's not a spoiler. People need to fucking chill with this shit.
Haven't even seen the movie but that sounds funny. Did you happen to live in the US in the aftermath of 9/11, OP? 9/11 (freedom) merch was wall to wall and the country as a whole was pretty much out of its mind for a few years. I imagine the MCU would be pretty much the same with all the crazy shit that happens there.
the only offensive part about is that it's a terrible gag. there must've been a better wordplay.
slap on a "now 50% off" thing on it or something idk.

This is how I feel about it, too. Regardless of whether it's funny or "tasteless", it's not something worth making a thread about.
