Syndegaard looked more like the D’Onofrio Thor than the Hemsworth Thor.

If that Rob Zombie garbage heap didn’t kill it, nothing will. For all the talk about his reverence and love for the franchise it came off like it was made by someone who was embarrassed by it.

Doing the Lord’s work over here.

Indeed. I saw it in the late ‘90s at a friend’s place and it’s not good on any level, other than maybe the cast clearly taking it seriously and giving it their all.

That wasn’t intended to represent a Republican voter, though, average or otherwise. It represents the maddening tendency of Democratic voters to furiously search for a reason not to back their party’s candidate while Republicans, as you correctly note, will always rally around their guy.

and a female companion that he disgustingly called “mother”.

You can have musicals based on all sorts of genres, but there’s no such thing as just a musical.

Billy Crystal is not Wallace Shawn so it works out.
