I like them embracing comedy with Thor and I enjoy his performance but I really hate the whole "Thor's just a big dummy who doesn't understand how things work" schtik. [Reply]

Ragnarok saved Thor as a main character in the MCU, and Waititi has that goofball direction down to a T. I agree with you that Thor is no dummy and he's running out of redemption arcs to complete in the MCU. Make him the all-around badass at the end of this film, because this formula has a very finite shelf life. IMO [Reply]
Does anyone else think it is weird that they didn't release it this weekend? Would have thought it would have been a great box office weekend but maybe not. [Reply]
I saw it last night. I really enjoyed it. As in any Taika Waititi film there’s lots of silly/funny moments.
If you don’t cynically pick it apart and just enjoy being entertained you’re gonna have a good time. It’s a movie about space Vikings who can interstellar travel on rainbows, it’s not a Markus Zusak novel.
Spoiler!
I was disappointed that Gorr was portrayed much, much weaker than his comic version.
The love triangle between Thor, Mjolnir and Storm Breaker was fun. Really helped ease the will they/won’t they tension between Jane and Thor.
Satisfying redemption arc for Thor.
Natalie Portman still looks amazing.
2 post credit scenes so you’re gonna have to hold your pee a long time.
