Thor: Love & Thunder - 25 WTF Moments

19. The TERRIBLE Screaming Goats Gag

Perhaps the single most divisive element of the movie is a recurring gag involving gigantic screaming goats, which are used to help transport Thor and company across the Nine Realms.

While the goats - known as Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder - have appeared in Marvel comics, their screaming here is clearly a reference to the iconic, decade-old screaming goat meme.

Though their presence is perhaps mildly amusing the first time we hear them, it quickly wears out its welcome and becomes annoying, with Taika Waititi indulging his worst instinct of taking a joke and driving it straight into the ground.

Once Love and Thunder hits streaming, somebody needs to produce a cut without all that damn screaming.
