Same happened to Thor.

One moment I was watching an arc setting him up as the next strong and wise leader of Asgard, and the next he was a joke character.

I really liked ragnarok. Love and thunder felt like such a cheap rip off of the exact same jokes that all just didn’t work.

I also have never seen the other Thor movies so ragnarok was my introduction so that might be why I like it so much.

I think it was the comedy in it that makes me like it especially after all the serious mcu movies before it. It just seemed like they had a really fun time making it and it came through in the final product.

I think Love and Thunder worked really well, but only in a one off sort of way. The soundtrack was fun, the over-the-top everything was generally funny, and the silly action scenes fit well with all that, but they can’t really do it again. All of the stuff that made Love and Thunder fun will just feel instantly stale if they do it again.

Instead of writing Thor in endgame well and focusing on his grief and trauma, they turned him into a joke.
