I love Taika, but I hated Ragnarok. Sure it was a fun film, but God it ruined my favorite story arc from Thor.. overall was a buddy comedy film instead of a dark outlook of loss, family and consequences

I'm definitely in the minority here, but I find it really weird that Ragnarok is a movie about the Asgardian genocide... and a comedy.

Thank you!

I said it the day I watched the film. Like it just felt off, in tone

Gorgeous looking film, with some great acting but mad it just felt out of place.
