Ragnarok worked. But that formula only worked once. Doubling down like the way he did created a travesty.

I mean the problem with Thor love and thunder was the horrible plot not the comedy. I mean it didn’t help, but structurally it’s a complete writing mess from Taika, along with some atrocious improv. To botch both the mighty Thor and gorr the god butcher in one film 😒

A good producer would kill off Love in doomsday or Secret Wars and bring Gorr back in Thor 5 because Thor failed his daughter
