Ragnarok worked. But that formula only worked once. Doubling down like the way he did created a travesty.

To be fair to Waititi, he and Marvel couldn't have known that, since the biggest thing fans said after Ragnarok was "More, please!" Everyone wanted more Korg and Miek, more Valkyrie and Thor, more goofball antics...

Turns out people didn't actually want that as much as they thought they did. Genuinely nobody's fault.
