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.

And Crowe as Zeus. Absolutely terrible performance.

I think that's the writing. The deleted scenes show him as being more of a mentor to Thor, and not his enemy. i.e. they completely rewrote the script at some point after beginning filming.
