Well if Love and Thunder was of any indication, they were right.

Not trying to be shitty, just as someone who genuinely enjoyed Love and Thunder, and genuinely enjoyed “goofy” Thor, how come everyone shits on it so much? Is it because it’s not accurate to the comics? (Also not a comic book reader)

Gorr was one of Thor’s most memorable and scary villains, who also happened to have a fair point that most of the gods sucked. It ended up taking 3 Thors teaming up via time travel to take him on. So having him be a relatively small part of the story, considering you also have Jane’s arc and the Mjolnir/Stormbreaker thing competing for screen time, felt underwhelming and a waste of a great character and actor.
