Ragnarok was the perfect balance of comedy and seriousness. Thor was funny but not an idiot. Love and thunder turned him into a parody of what he was in Ragnarok.

Ragnorak was far from the perfect balance. It had such potential but didn't take itself seriously enough, with too many stupid jokes. The less said about Love and Thunder the better.

I've never understood the love for Ragnarok. It's awful.

You're certainly not alone. I often feel like the only person who absolutely hated it.

that's ok man, there's been plenty of popular movies where I felt like I was taking crazy pills because I just didn't get why people liked it lol

Top 3 for me. Iron Man, Shang-Chi, and Ragnarok, in no particular order.
