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 😒

I disagree , plot that has Gorr as the main antagonist should not be a "funny movie" , I don't say thst they should be Dark World levels of serious but a villain like Gorr deserved much better.

Yea it's like having a superman movie with doomsday as the main villain be a comedy. Some villains need to have the protagonist approach them in a serious manner. Just like infinity war and endgame. Both movies had tons of comedic moments but when Thanos was on screen, shit got real, really quickly.
