"I have seen 'Thor', yeah. It's fantastic. Being that close to something, it's often pretty hard to watch yourself, but the film in so many ways is so impressive that I was swept along with it like an audience member, and that's a pretty good sign"
About this Quote
That phrasing matters because it shifts the focus away from performance and toward machinery: the scale of the film, the visual effects, the orchestration of tone. Thor was an early, crucial bet in the Marvel experiment - could an earnest, Shakespeare-adjacent god movie play as mainstream fun? Hemsworth is, knowingly or not, testifying to the studio's thesis: the film is immersive enough to override the self-consciousness of its own star. That's the subtext of "like an audience member" - not just "I enjoyed it", but "it works as mass entertainment."
He also slips in a gentle quality control metric that sounds casual but functions as a blurb: if even the guy who knows where the seams are can't see them, the seams probably don't show. "That's a pretty good sign" is modesty on the surface, marketing underneath - the language of a professional signaling confidence without swagger.
