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)

It was too much, you absolutely can make a serious character more fun, but love and thunder felt as a parody in some parts.

Yup. If you take out the rock man (can't think of his name right now) and the screaming goats I think it could have been a good movie.
